Not the best dressed of the night but she pulls of the look really well. She has the height and the long legs to make a plain gown look elegant.

The dark color also makes her tan stand out a bit. Too orange I suppose.

Actress Carey Mulligan in Prada. I’m not a fan of this scale-like gold and silver dress. Perhaps the lighting didn’t compliment the already very bright number.
