The 2024 Oscars red carpet showcased a mix of sophisticated and dramatic looks, including Eva Longoria’s structured black gown and Michelle Yeoh’s dazzling sequined ensemble. Carey Mulligan stunned in a sleeveless black Balenciaga gown, complete with full-length opera gloves. The gown featured a form-fitting silhouette and sweetheart neckline, but the highlight was its dramatic mermaid skirt, accented by a white tulle petticoat peeking out from the scalloped hem. Mulligan kept her jewelry minimal, wearing classic diamond drop earrings and no necklace.
Fashion enthusiasts may recognize this gown—it’s a close copy of Balenciaga’s classic Flamenco dress from 1951. Vintage fashion expert Cherie Blach pointed out the iconic monochromatic color scheme and daring tulle mermaid skirt.
Nominated for her role as Felicia Montealegre in “Maestro,” Carey Mulligan embraced a classic, opera-ready look at this year’s Oscars. Known for her timeless style, Mulligan has consistently impressed with her fashion choices. From oversized blazers to elegant gowns, she effortlessly blends sophistication with minimalism. Her sleek blonde bob adds the perfect finishing touch to each ensemble.
