Oscar-worthy Wear: Carey Mulligan

Carey Mulligan was great in An Education (2009), which I completely loved. The film is about a teenage girl's life and how it changed once a grown man, almost twice her age, starts seducing her and her family. Her dress at the Oscars, designed by Prada, was just as outstanding as the movie!


There was a lot of buzz about what her dress was going to look like before the event and many reporters kept asking her to spill the details, but all she said about it was that "It’s kind of long. But it is kind of crazy but classic at the same time. It sort of fulfills all my 12 year-old girlie dreams about wearing the classic dress. But it’s got a twist!". The dress was decorated with ornamental scissors and silverware, nuts, bolts, screws, and other small metal objects. It brought a very modern, eclectic style to a vintage, classic, Audrey-Hepburn-like gown.
