Carey Mulligan in Prada

Carey could have been a contender. Wearing a Prada black box pleat with Swarovski encrusted crystals. Great choice for Carey’s petite frame. Though Carey’s accessories choice, completely wrong.

Carey should have passed on Fred Leighton‘s stunning chandeliers in favor of highlighting her creamy skin and dramatic Mia Farrow inspired cut.

The fit of this dress was very flattering on Carey’s petite figure and the shorter hemline in front would have been a styling moment all on it’s own. The heavy
crisscross black straps on Carey’s heels ruined the drama of her unexpected hemline.

A beautiful barely there metallic strappy stiletto paired with a diamond post or tiny teardrops would have highlighted Carey’s Mia cut and her pale ivory skin. Could have been a best dressed contender. Sigh!

Style Tip-
Are you accused of fading into the background? Don’t let this post scare you. Evening wear demands more effort. Get your hair and makeup done for your most important events.
