Who? Carey Mulligan
What? Tis' the season to sparkle and Carey Mulligan did just that in her glittering Valentino dress for the Alzheimer Society A Small World Gala dinner. A beautiful brocade dress is the perfect way to go statement fashion-forward this season. The sheer and lace paneling, the cinched waist and the studded heels made Mulligan's look a show-stopper.

Where? A Small World Gala Dinner for the Alzheimer Society, The Gstaad Palace Hotel, Switzerland.
Verdict? We're still all for the love of brocade and LOVE anything baroque this season. Take note from Mulligan and don an embellished dress or fantasy clutch bag to your evening attire.
