Red Carpet To Real Life: Carey Mulligan's Balenciaga Gown

March 18, 2024

Carey Mulligan Balenciaga Dress

When Carey Mulligan stepped onto the Oscars red carpet, she instantly skyrocketed to the top of Best Dressed lists with her classic look. She wore an elegant black and white Balenciaga dress that was a recreation of a 1951 design. It was a fitting reference back to the era of her Maestro performance (for which she was nominated) and celebrated the simple glamour of 1950s Hollywood.


Many of you agreed with me on social media that Mulligan's was one of the best looks of the evening, so imagine my delight when, while scrolling through Revolve's new arrivals, I came across this dress that looked like its modern-day, cocktail party counterpart:


While I would not necessarily call this AKNVAS x REVOLVE dress a "look for less" (it is currently listed at $695) it is no doubt considerably cheaper than a custom Balenciaga creation, and certainly more wearable for a wider swath of events. If you are on the hunt for a fun black-and-white party dress, why not channel Ms. Mulligan and take this dress out for a spin?

I Think I'm A Skort Girl Now

Back in the elementary school days, I was all about a good skort. They were ideal for dressing girly and cute while still being able to spontaneously do a cartwheel. I wore them on playdates. While playing sports. Swimsuit variations to the beach. Name an occasion and I had a skort to match.

Somewhere between fifth grade and now, I stopped wearing skorts (aside from the athletic variety for tennis and golf) and they went out of style anyway. For years, I had to pick a side of the shorts vs. skirt debate every day. It was devastating.

Over the past few months, I've noticed that the skort has had a major resurgence. It began in the athleisure space with inventions like the Exercise Dress (of which I own 2) and now has blossomed into a full-blown movement. It helps that the micro-mini skirt trend is a thing and that not all of us (namely, anyone with a butt) are comfortable rocking ultra-minis sans some sort of booty coverage. The skort has thus become the perfect workaround for girls who want to wear the trendy styles without flashing the entire world. 

So join me in embracing the skort once more. I've even rounded up some styles for you to shop and try the trend for yourself!
