Runway To Virtuoso Awards – Carey Mulligan In Prada

Runway To Virtuoso Awards – Carey Mulligan In Prada

February 8th, 2010

Carey Mulligan was honoured for her stand-out performance in “An Education” at the Virtuoso Awards at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival this weekend.

I’ve felt very lukewarm to Carey’s red carpet choices lately, but this is more like it.

The Prada loving Brit actress looks beautiful wearing a pink beach print satin dress from Prada’s Spring 2010 collection with what appears to be a matching clutch.

The dress is quite obviously modified from the runway and in this case very much for the better.

I love her hair here. She doesn’t have many options with it, but on this occasion it looks lighter and like more attention has been paid to it.

Overall I’m lovin’ it.

With all this Carey/Prada love, could a campaign be on the horizon or could this simply be the equivalent of a Herrera/Zellweger collabo?

Either way I’m happy as it’s a perfect fit.

The moment I saw this, I thought… finally! Carey looks so cute and the color matches her hair so well.
But I have one request, I hope the dress was shorter. She would’ve looked even cuter.

I absolutely love this outfit on Carey!
I just can’t help wondering if the dress would look better with an inch off the bottom.

I really like this look on her and she is actually smiling! My one tiny problem is that the skirt seems just a little too long; it should stop just above the knee. But that might actually be an illusion from the angle the picture was taken.

I really don’t mind that she’s picking a lot of Prada and Lanvin because it suits her and IMO, it’s never repetitive. I love the print on this dress. I also love her hair here, for some reason.
Best dressed worthy.

Awesome! Perfection. Those colours are great on her, and while I did at first think it would have looked better shortened a bit, on second thought, I’m really loving the demure length, which suits her individual style, which so many young actresses lack desperately.

Prada fits her so well. She looks very good in this, the colours go very well with her hair.

Far prefer the runway version. This looks frumpy to me.

Carey is sweet and do d’mn cute here I am not getting cavities. This dress was actually like some of the chic 1960’s sheath and frock dresses she wore in An Education.
