Slowly but surely, as the vaccines roll on, we are getting back to in-person events. Obviously the Oscars 2021 had to be pioneers and tried their luck by preparing an event that has little to do with those of years past.

One of the beloved actresses who walked the real red carpet was Carey Mulligan.

Mulligan stunned in a Valentino Couture Code Temporal organdi (the sheerest and crispest cotton cloth made) cuivre (bronze) dress entirely embroidered with iridescent sequins with pearl reflections from the Spring 2021 Couture collection. According to the Maison, 350 hours of work by hand have been necessary for the creation of the dress in their Ateliers.

She paired the gown with Sophia Webster platform sandals (according to Footwear News, they were Rita Platform Sandals, in a shimmery champagne hue) and a Cartier [SUR]NATUREL High Jewelry ring and earrings set with oval-shaped intense orangey yellow tourmalines, totaling over 30-carats. The actress was also spotted carrying a custom made Tyler Ellis The Perry clutch.

Her makeup artist Georgie Eisdell made sure to let us in on all the details of Carey‘s glam preparations (edited by us for clarity):

Hairstylist Jenny Cho explained her inspiration for the up-do to People.com: “Carey‘s gold Valentino dress was a symbol of classic glamour with a modern twist, which inspired me to do an up-do that felt fresh, current and playful.”

Manicurist Queenie Nguyen used different OPI nail polishes to create a gold micro reverse French: Samoan Sand / Glitzerland and This Changes Everything.
