How Carey Mulligan Came Into Her Own on the Red Carpet

For the Spaceman photo call in Los Angeles, Mulligan dazzled in a Valentino couture column gown that featured a light blue train detail.

Mulligan looked like liquid perfection in this Armani Privé gown at the 2024 SAG Awards.

Mulligan channeled her signature brand of Old Hollywood glamour for the 2024 Berlin Film Festival. She hit the event’s red carpet in a Schiaparelli couture confection that she topped off with Kwiat and Fred Leighton jewels.

Mulligan dazzled at the 2024 BAFTAs, where she was nominated for her role in Maestro, with this dramatic Dior couture gown.

Mulligan managed to make the plunging neckline of this Armani Privé number looked oh-so elegant on the red carpet of the Critics Choice Awards.

The actress paired an Agent Provocateur corset with an ankle-length Bottega Veneta skirt to attend the AFI Awards Luncheon in 2024.

For the 2024 Governors Awards, Mulligan went for a Celine gown with a sculptural white neckline.

For the Golden Globes, Mulligan wore a Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown that was reinterpreted from a design Elsa Schiaparelli originally sent down the runway for her Fall 1949/1950 collection.

Her Balmain outfit was pure red carpet drama, even as it also seemed appropriate for a futuristic business woman.

At the Maestro premiere, Mulligan opted for another dramatic Celine gown, this time one in a sparkling midnight blue.

Mulligan’s small role in Saltburn stole the show, and she may have stolen the red carpet too in this Balmain concoction.

Wearing Gucci to Los Angele’s preeminent arts gala, she certainly looked dress appropriately for “Tinsel Town.”

The skirt on this Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown was certainly an eye-catcher.

For the “In America”-themed Met Gala, Mulligan once again with Schiaparelli couture.

Temporarily going back to brunette, Mulligan opted for a whole lot of pink with this Valentino gown.
