Carey Mulligan’s Nina Ricci dress: adorably chic or totally boring?

wenn5545688

As CB already partially covered, the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps premiere was last night in NYC. All of the star were in attendance, including Michael Douglas (and his wife Zeta), Carey Mulligan, Shia LaBeouf and Josh Brolin (without wife Diane Lane). Noted lovers Carey and Shia absolutely refused to pose for photos together, much to my dismay. This is the film where they met and fell in love! And they posed together when they were promoting the thing in Cannes. But alas, they’re only in the same frame for the group shots.

In her Vogue interview, Carey explained why she doesn’t like to pose with Shia on the red carpet, saying “it feels like you’re selling something that has nothing to do with you…‘Oh, we come as a pair! Would you like to buy both of us? We’re available for weddings and bar mitzvahs.’”

Anyway, I love Carey’s little Nina Ricci outfit (from Ricci’s Fall collection), and everything about the way she’s styled. She looks very pretty and appropriately dressed-up for a premiere, and the styling suits her very well. I love her hair too. As for Shia… well, you know that boy brings out the cougar in me. He looked lovely too – he shaved his dirt lip, he was wearing a good suit, and he looked gorgeous. He’s a good looking kid!

By the way, Zeta looks refreshed, doesn’t she?

  2. Isabel says:

    She is so cute!. I like the dress and shoes 🙂

  4. Me1st says:

    what’s up with Josh Brolin going stag???

  5. mojoman says:

    Wow, Shia’s eyes!! I think Carey is cute and a very talented and refreshing actor.

  6. Ellen Smith says:

    Great dress and shoes. Totally on!

  7. jm says:

    I stayed at the same hotel as Shia in Chicago this summer (the Trump, he was filming Transformers nearby) and talked to him a couple of times. He was shy but nice, but so scruffy, dirty and NOT CUTE in person. And then here he is, all cleaned up – and looks great!!

  8. beaglegals says:

    totally chic! stylish, flattering, elegant!

  9. brin says:

    Tres chic….love her hair, too!

  10. Marie says:

    Carey is just adorable.

  11. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    Its not boring but its not chic. Chic implies neatness and style. Some sort of slick elegance. I love her but I don’t like the crinkles or that hideous bow detail on the front of the dress.

  12. eja102 says:

    she is cute. I never really thought so, thought “blancmange”.
    her hair longer is better.
    can’t stand shia.
    love michael. and CZJ.

  13. Solveig says:

    I’m not sure if I like that outfit, but she looks gorgeous.
    And probably this is the first time after months that C.Z. Jones looks stunning and elegant.

  14. Brooke says:

    Every time I see Michael Douglas it takes me right back to Romancing the Stone – and reminds me that I still totally WOULD.

  15. annaloo says:

    I love Catherine, but the makeup color is too harsh. Black eyeliner, blue-ish red lipstick? No no, Cat.. soften it up.

  16. maggiegrace says:

    Don’t like the dress – think she’s adorable. Josh Brolin and that tall guy who’s name escapes me, are in it? I’m definitely seeing it.

  17. Sandy says:

    She can wear about anything I think.

  18. k says:

    i like the dress but hate the rosette

  19. Amanda says:

    They are a fricken cute couple.

  20. spinner says:

    Love the outfit!! Very 40’s which is my fav. All she needs is a Cloche Hat.

  21. Janeth says:

    I just adore him, Yummy! Carey looks great love the hair.

  22. OtherChris says:

    She’s adorable, but she should watch taking herself too seriously or she’ll turn into the next Julia Roberts or god forbid, Gwennie.

  23. Carol says:

    Zeta Jones looks…plumped up. Do NOT like that effect of fillers.

  24. Aqua says:

    Love the dress and her.She’s becoming one of the “best dress celeb.”

  25. citysuede says:

    LOVE IT! Julia’s stylist is watching, i hope.

  26. original kate says:

    carey looks fantastic. love the dress & the styling.

  27. danielle says:

    Carey looks great. I request you lay off Zeta for awhile tho – her husband has cancer.

  28. Sumodo1 says:

    Carey is totally cute and appropriate. Zeta, well, has a husband undergoing cancer therapy, but her lipstick clashed with those awful earrings.

  29. Fiona says:

    Overated acctress!A bad copy of Michelle Willians…Boring,boring boring!!!She tries way too hard to play “the ingenue”, either you are or not, it is not the choice of weird outfits that will help…

  30. bagladey says:

    Love the dress.

  31. debbie says:

    Shia brings out the cougar in me, too! I want a poster of that nice photo of him with those pretty green eyes!

  32. mercy says:

    Carey is adorable … dress is cute on her. Shia looks better than I’ve ever seen him, love those eyes. Too much make-up on Catherine, but still lovely.

  33. jane16 says:

    I like the dress and shoes. And her hair.

  34. EMV says:

    She is soooo cute!

  35. redlips says:

    She is a doll and yes, Catherine does look “refreshed”! Love, love, love Catherine’s earrings………

  36. Mistral says:

    Chic! 🙂

  37. I Choose Me says:

    Hubba, hubba at Shia – did not know he had such lovely green eyes. I sooo would!

    Carey’s dress is fug imo. It needs a good ironing. Her hair and makeup however, is right on and she looks beautiful despite the dress.

  38. Camille says:

    Not a fan of Carey’s dress, but she does look adorable.
    Shia’s hair has always annoyed me, but he is a cutie.
    Catherine Z looks weird, something is off about her face in that pic.

  39. albeli says:

    Very cute! I love the dress and her hair. She looks adorable.

  40. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    Crumpet, not English crumple. Otherwise, she looks nice.

  41. notsoanonymous says:

    I don’t love her makeup, but I think what looks off about CZJ is that she is exhausted.

  42. Mouse says:

    I love her! She’s always adorable and I that dress is bitchin’.

    And Shia’s adorable too, I really like his eyes.

  43. DiMi says:

    Both – chic AND dull. Great for an elegant dinner, too dull for a premier.

  44. Adrien says:

    Carey Mulligan = adorable. Always.

  45. dread pirate cuervo says:

    She is too cute. I want to like this outfit, but I can’t. I tried to imagine it without the rosette, but it’s still…eh. It doesn’t even work up to a blah. But she’s adorable. I wish good things for her.

  46. Ruffian9 says:

    She’s too cute. and chic (sorry, LA).

    As for CZJ: ‘refreshed’ is obviously code for ‘has had a medical or cosmetic procedure done’.
