There is something special about the 24-year-old Oscar-nominated English actress from London.Her brilliant performance in An Education has critics jumping up and down and her sense of personal style amazes the fashionistas!
Her perfect skin, the short hair, the big eyes and the skinny, awkward posture make her look odd and different – in a good way that is; she looks fragile and sweet. She’s always smiling, but in some way she looks very mysterious.
Personal style
Needless to say, Carey’s personal style is something else. It is a true mixture of sophistication and edge along with femininity, which makes her stand out at red carpet events. Carey takes her personal style with her on the red carpet and isn’t afraid to experiment.
Wearing a leopard hat is a bold move and something that makes her style memorable.
She has been seen wearing the boyfriend blazer many times and this particular piece goes well with Carey’s very feminine and simple dresses and skirts, as it makes the look more modern and young. Even though she wears conservative cuts, she manages to make them look young and hip by incorporating statement pieces like big jewelry, hats and modern heels and flats.
Minimalism
On the red carpet and in general, Carey is often seen wearing black. Her very simple, but bold, haircut, demands ultra feminine dresses and that is exactly what Carey often goes for; the little black dress!
But in stead of wearing it in the classic way – a little black dress and high heel sandals, Carey often wears booties in stead. These give the dress a young and edgy feel and makes the look personal and modern.
Sophistication
Her outfits are often simple, consisting of not many items and little to no jewelry. She wears only one main piece, when it comes to jewelry; earrings or a necklace or bracelets. Her hair is her accessory and the changing from red to blond of this very short haircut really does work as an accessory for Carey.
With one hand in the pocket, Carey manages to make this beautiful maxi dress look edgy!
Carey’s blond, short haircut makes this otherwise conservative look young and hip.

Layering
Carey’s style is very dualistic in the sense that she can go from being ultra minimalistic to layering and layering and layering.
Carey is great at mixing and layering. She is mixing colors, patterns and materials and it somehow works for her. But be careful when mixing and matching as well as layering not to end up looking bulky!
Day Look Inspiration
Carey likes to sport a casual, rock chick look during the day. She looks comfortable and stylish in her capri pants, flat shoes and her leather jacket!
This look is perfect for lunch dates, classes, shopping, going to the movies and so on…

she looks so young and fragile. her style compliments that without making her look like she is wearing her big sister’s clothes. I love the scarves she wears in the layering look.
Yes, she really pulls these ‘conservative’ outfits off perfectly! So elegant! Thanks for the comment, Susan!
i like her minimalism and layering look. she knows how to play with her style.
She is so darling! I loved the Prada dress she wore to the Oscars with all of the wee forks and shears all over it! Her style is sweet!
Yes, I loved her dress too. She looked so pretty, but edgy at the same time!
