When it comes to her everyday ensembles, Carey Mulligan tends to go for a minimalist aesthetic. When it comes to her red carpet ensembles, she seems to prefer understated elegance. But recently, she switched it up and served three striking looks while promoting her latest film, “Mudbound.” Even her footwear choices have massively improved as she stepped out in gorgeous heels from Francesco Russo and Rupert Sanderson.
1. Giambattista Valli Resort 2018 gown
The 32-year-old English actress stunned in a beautiful red gown from Giambattista Valli at the New York screening of “Mudbound.” This ruby Resort 2018 number featured a jewel neckline, bishop sleeves, a floor-length skirt and subtle ruffle details. It was also cinched at the waist with a tonal bow belt. She finished off her look with an upswept bun and a ruby lip.

2. Gucci Resort 2018 dress and Francesco Russo sandals
Perhaps Carey’s best look during this stylish promotional tour was her Grecian-style Gucci dress at the London Film Festival. Carey channeled her inner goddess in this Resort 2018 number, which featured metallic detailing and mint green lining. It also had a V-shaped neckline embellished with a metallic silver rope.
She capped off her look with a wavy bob, soft pink lips, jewelry from Stephen Webster and metallic gold sandals from Francesco Russo. This style is currently unavailable, but you can shop for other Francesco Russo shoes at Net-A-Porter, MyTheresa and Matches Fashion.

3. Chanel Pre-Fall 2017 dress and Rupert Sanderson “Myril Plato” sandals
Last month, Carey premiered her film at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival in a chic Chanel dress. She looked effortlessly stylish in this Pre-Fall 2017 design, which featured contrasting tweed accents. Her sleeveless dress also had a wide double-C belt and a pleated skirt. She styled it with a side-swept updo, minimal makeup and Rupert Sanderson heels.
