Carey Mulligan wore a pretty good Schiaparelli to the Berlinale premiere of Spaceman (where Carey costars with Adam Sandler). [RCFA]

Carey used to look so uncomfortable and strained on the red carpet, but these days she looks happy to be there. She’s lovely when she smiles.
She really looks incredible in these pics. I always wondered if she just deeply hated doing work events, because she’s beautiful but photos always look off.
These photos show her lit up in a way that isn’t typical for her. It’s nice to see. She is super talented.
I remember most of the things detailed in the Buzzfeed article but not numbers AND letters for phone numbers (and letters, I guess lol). Was that from someone outside of the US?
Also, I’m so thankful I grew up in a time when there was no social media. I’m not really here to debate the pros and cons, I’m just saying that I would have likely been an oversharer and would spend decades regretting every poor decision I documented on FB, IG, TikTok whatever.
Even now, it still surprises me how quickly young women are to send/exchange nudes. Like, even before going on a first date with someone….glad that was never something that was expected of us back in the day.
But I digress, I guess I’m not an elder Millennial but a Boomer after all LOL.
Oh it was the US, just before our time. (Like the boogie-woogie song Pennsylvania 6-5000 would be PA6-5000.)
The one that still outrages me was not being able to wear pants in school. Especially thinking of how that restricted you on the playground.
In sixth grade we could wear pants on Fridays and I had spectacular paisley print bell bottoms!
Ok yeah some of these things are def before my time. We def wore pants to dances and the letters in phone numbers thing is wild to me!
And I would wear the HELL out of some paisley bellbottoms lol. It IS really gross thinking about how sexist all those rules were smdh.
@Kitten, they were aqua, pink and purple and when they wore out I used the fabric for patches on my jeans 💗
How about this one? There did not used to be pantyhose. 🤣 Actually, who wears hose anymore at all🤣
But I was in middle school when you could buy pantyhose at Woolworths thus eliminating the need for the deeply unsexy garter belts, but not yet the belt for your extremely bulky “sanitary napkins”.
I wore an onion on my belt, it was the style at the time.
(Cracking myself up with a Grandpa Simpson reference.)
My childhood phone number started with TF6- so that wasn’t foreign that was US. Maybe I’m an older boomer 😂. The first 2 were letters and the rest were numbers. I’ve also seen that in old movies when they were talking about calling a phone number.
And the letters indicated which town or even neighborhood you were in within the area code. My mom’s address book still has the number codes for some older landlines because that’s how she learned them.
And people used to memorize phone numbers. I barely can remember my own
I grew up in Brooklyn NY (ok, a million years ago…) and our telephone number then was CLoverdale 8-8xxx. (We just referred to it as CL8-8xxx)
It was in the days when all five boroughs had the area code of 212 too.
I also remember when my (Catholic) high school finally broke down and let us wear pants to school, on really cold days only though.
The more I write, the older I feel lol
I “feel” like I remember this too. . . . 212 to 718 🤔
I’m so glad I didn’t have social media when I was in college (Facebook started a year after I graduated more or less.) Its so much worse now with camera phones etc, but even in those early days with the digital cameras…..yeah I’m so glad, lol.
It’s fun to look back at my college pictures and sometimes I share a few on social media but…..a lot are staying in a shoebox in my closet, hahaha.
Listen, I am thankful on a daily basis that I completed high school in the 20th century!
I get that Schiaparelli is supposed to be “it” right now, and I’ll admit that I don’t usually get it. It usually feels like bad art school ideas brought to expensive fruition – but this one I don’t mind, this actually has sort of a cool Erté vibe and she’s carrying it off well.
Carey looks gorgeous and confident in both looks. Her ability to morph from one look to another has fascinated me since Promising Young Woman.
Anyone have an ID on Angelina’s bag?
I Googled it, and it’s Giancarlo Cipri also known as “Gee” with a quote on the bag from Girls interrupted “Some I’ve seen, some never again, but there isn’t a day my heart doesn’t find them,”
That Schiaparelli is BEAUTIFUL and I want it!
I agree, that dress is beautiful, and perfectly tailored for her. But….I wish the draped pieces weren’t flesh toned? A bright contrasting color, or even white or ivory would be better.
It’s perfection. A brighter color would look garish and costume-y. Black would be pretty but boring. And the white/ivory would be too harsh.
Thank you!
I’ll give it points for originality, and also for taste because I can’t see her nethers, but honestly, Carey’s dress looks to me like the most embarrassing toilet-seat-liner-caught-in-waistband accident EVER.
Whew! Not just me. I was getting “cute little black dress, with toilet paper accidentally tucked into her undies” vibe.
This is now the second photo I’ve seen of Adam Sandler in an actual red carpet suit and tie! He looks so nice!
That Schiaparelli is really interesting! I feel like if you spoke the concept out loud it would sound terrible, but it somehow works.
Also threadjacking a little but I look forward to the coverage of the first look at Rufus Sewell as PA in the Newsnight interview movie. I love RS and I almost spat my drink seeing him living inside PA’s awful facial mannerisms.
I have no taste apparently because I definitely do not like the dress although the black part fits her well. That pose is so unflattering with every tendon in her face and neck showing. That said she’s looked comfortable and happy on the red carpet. She and her husband we’re together for one recently and looked really sweet together
Showing prince William how it’s done…love the huge smile on her.
Ps cool dress.
