Actress Carey Mulligan makes a dramatic impact in a red cocktail dress from Prabal Gurung Spring 2011 with corsage details along the bodice at the Moet British Independent Film Awards 2010, teamed with a clutch and simple black peep-toes.

Style tip: As racy as a LRD (little red dress) can be, Mulligan proves it's possible to look lady-like in red -- just go for a higher neckline and longer skirt to keep it elegant.
