Carey Mulligan: Look of the Day

January 20, 2012

Who: Carey Mulligan

Where: The Critics’ Circle Film Awards held at the BFI Southbank London, England

Why we like it: Carey’s daring choice to pair bright blue Yves Saint Laurent Palais platform pumps with an equally vivid Roland Mouret number paid off in a big way. The red jersey dress featuring white tulip appliqués and structured shoulders comes from the designer’s Spring 2012 collection.
