Carey Mulligan: My Celebrity Style Icon
How to Copy Carey Mulligan’s Classic Celebrity Style for Less
When I see photos of Carey Mulligan, star of “An Education”, it is hard for me not to swoon over her style. I find it hard to believe that she and I are both 25 years old. Casual daily wear for me includes jeans, Nikes, and t-shirts while Mulligan’s street fashion is polished and classy. She always looks ladylike and well put together, reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn. Here are some of my favorite Carey Mulligan looks.
Carey Mulligan at TIFF 2010
At the “Never Let Me Go” premiere at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival, Carey Mulligan was wearing a Christopher Kane resort dress which you can see at the top of this post. She kept it simple with no accessories and this beautiful dress that fit her like a glove. Carey paired this dress with dark red platform pumps similar to the Kelsi Dagger Linzy Platform Pump. You can find Carey’s Christopher Kane dress from Colette for $3,172.37 if you want to replicate her look exactly. Unfortunately it is hard to find a dress with a similar outer space fabric print and neckline as Kane’s. For a similar tailoring and considerably smaller price, you might want to try the Merona Taffeta Party Dress from Target for $31.99 which is black with a boat neck and very true to Carey’s timeless style.
