Carey Mulligan captured our hearts on the big screen in Maestro, and now she has captivated us on the Oscars red carpet.

The Great Gatsby star made her grand arrival tonight at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre for the biggest night in film in an ensemble that was so good, it makes us want to sing. Mulligan looked grand opera ready in a glorious velvety black gown that featured a sweetheart neckline and a flared-out mermaid skirt, with a scalloped hem layered over a second voluminous cream tulle skirt. Fittingly, she paired it with long inky-black gloves and classic diamond stud earrings by Fred Leighton. For beauty, Mulligan glammed up with minimal, fresh makeup and styled her signature blonde bob straight with a middle part.
