Subdued Style at its best…

Carey Mulligan At The Oscars
Carey Mulligan at the Oscars

Freshly dubbed style icon, Carey Mulligan’s dress of choice for the Oscars seemed rather shy in comparison to others she has recently been papped in. However, the Prada dress was by no means a fashion flop!  

The black shift fit the Vanity Fair cover girl perfectly, her waif like figure the main accessory to her outfit. The dress was indeed a world away from the two tone gown by Vionnet, which she wore at the BAFTAs, but it still managed to make big waves.  

Cut under the bust, with a ruched seam and contrasting texture, the shift sang with quality and craftsmanship. Carey cleverly ‘down-styled’ the dress with a simple clutch and her trademark crop to emphasise her confidence in the simple frock.  

It’s easy to compliment the designers of the eye popping dresses, which Miss Mulligan usually favours , this time we compliment Carey herself, for daring to bare it all with such a simple classic, allowing her true beauty to shine through.
