Carey Mulligan Wears 1998 Prada Print to 2026 Met Gala

Carey Mulligan attended the 2026 Met Gala in a Prada column dress featuring an abstract, solarized rectangle motif from the house's spring 1998 collection, selected by stylist Danielle Goldberg. Mulligan, who has worked with Goldberg since the Beef premiere, praised Goldberg's ability to bring out her personality. The actor reflected on her red carpet evolution from being terrified to feeling more lighthearted, and noted the intimidating nature of the event despite her experience. She recalled her favorite Met Gala in 2012, which coincided with her honeymoon and had a 'Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations' theme. Mulligan also mentioned losing her mind when Cher performed in 2019, and praised Zoë Kravitz's 2021 crystal-mesh Saint Laurent dress as her top Met Gala look. She plans to travel with Nick Hoult this year to start the fun early.
