Carey Mulligan surprised everyone with her bold choice of color as she sauntered down the red carpet for the screening of Inside Llewyn Davis during the 57th BFI London Film Festival.
We have mostly seen her wearing spectacular dresses in dark hues, such as the black halter dress from Alexander McQueen that she wore to the New York Film Festival.
This time, however, she opted for a lovely lemon yellow frock from Christian Dior, which made her stand out in a crowd of celebrities clad in monochromatic hues and autumn colors.

The British actress plays an angst-ridden folk singer in the upcoming musical drama directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. The film boasts of a stellar cast, including Oscar Isaac, who plays the title role, and veteran actor John Goodman.

Carey was accompanied on the red carpet by her equally fabulous co-stars who gamely posed for photographs and happily signed autographs for fans.

Carey always makes bold sartorial choices for red carpet events, and this one was no exception as she stepped out in head-to-toe Dior. She radiated in her yellow matte silk and wool crepe strapless dress that made her look sexy and classy.
