Carey Mulligan was dressed sharply and polishedly for the special screening of The Great Gatsby, which was held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City just a few days ago.
The An Education actress and singer wore a classic suit with black satin Brian Atwood ‘Aida’ platform sandals.

A suit may be a classic choice, but the design of Carey’s tuxedo jacket gave it a modern twist. It’s a cropped tuxedo in a dominant wool blend with satin detailing.
Carey’s look was completed with a simple updo and minimal makeup, maintaining her signature understated style on the red carpet.

Her cropped tuxedo jacket features raised, ruched padding at the top of each sleeve, black satin fabric on the outer side, and a wool blend inside. The satin lapels feature contrasting black and white colors, adding some edge to the design.

The fastening of this Lanvin jacket is also very different from what we’re used to. It has a horizontal top-stitched hem with a black press stud. Attractive and quite modern, agree?
