Carey Mulligan Receives CBE from King Charles III at Windsor Castle Ceremony

Carey Mulligan was honored with a Commander of the Order of the British Empire award by King Charles III during a ceremony at Windsor Castle. The event recognized her contributions to drama. For the occasion, Mulligan wore an outfit that included an ivory jacket with embroidery and a stand-up collar, paired with wide-leg trousers from The Row. She accessorized with large sunglasses by Jacques Marie Mage. This ensemble reflected her preference for comfort in formal settings, a principle she has discussed publicly. In a previous interview with Vogue, Mulligan emphasized feeling her best when comfortable, whether at home or attending events. Her fashion choices have consistently drawn attention, such as during the 2024 awards season when she was nominated for her performance in Maestro. At the 96th Academy Awards, she wore a recreated Balenciaga gown from 1951, which she described as her favorite dress. British Vogue's fashion director Alice Newbold praised that look as the standout of the season. Mulligan's upcoming role in Greta Gerwig's Narnia film, where she portrays Mabel Kirke, is anticipated to bring further attention to her style.
