Yea, Nay, Or Eh? Primary Colors At The BIFAs
Amid the usual sea of award-show black, two actresses stood out at the British Independent Film Awards last night: Carey Mulligan (left, in Prabal Gurung, with a Roger Vivier clutch) and Rosamund Pike (right, in Vionnet and Charlotte Olympia heels). The jolt of primary colors livened up what might otherwise have been a duller fête, [...]
“Hello, Daisy Buchanan”
Last night was a big night for Carey Mulligan. Sure, she was on the arm of Karl Lagerfeld at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund party last night (and click here if you missed our full coverage of that), but she also got what looks likely to be the next big role in her career: as Daisy [...]

Yea, Nay, Or Eh? All That’s Fit To Print
When Carey Mulligan shot from obscurity to insta-fame in An Education, it seemed that the fashion world had found its next style-star ingenue. She was cute, she was chic—all Seberg bob and real, no-kidding acting chops—and designers all took notice and started sending dresses. But as she hit more and more high-profile events, Mulligan seemed [...]
Chicer Than A Rabbit’s Foot
Carey Mulligan’s good-luck charm from BAFTA night 2010? Might well have been her custom floral Vionnet gown (pictured). (She nabbed the Best Actress trophy at the U.K. awards.)

The Spirit’s Still Independent, But The Mood’s More Mainstream
The Oscars won’t be Hollywood’s only fancy awards night this weekend. The Independent Spirit Awards, traditionally a pretty scruffy affair, got natty for its 25th anniversary, allowing big-time stars to dress up—including Vera Farmiga, in Marchesa (pictured); Carey Mulligan, in Christopher Kane; and Olivia Wilde, in Ralph Lauren—in honor of movies made, in many cases, [...]
Carey Mulligan’s Oscar Dress Revealed—Almost
