"Carey Mulligan is already garnering some pre-Oscar buzz for her role as a teenage temptress in the film An Education, but I&amp;#x27;m more hung up on how amazingly fashion-forward the 24-year-old starlet is. She&amp;#x27;s already been spotted in Lanvin, Thakoon, and Prada--I can only imagine what she&amp;#x27;ll wear on the red carpet if she does nab that much-coveted Academy nod! Find out why she&amp;#x27;s a style star on the rise, after the jump. Here&amp;#x27;s Carey at last night&amp;#x27;s Annual Hollywood Awards gala in a feathered dress by newcomer Prabal Gurung, who is already creating serious &amp;quot;I die&amp;quot; moments on the red carpet. Young hot designer + young hot star = very memorable style moment. Oh, and her short hair? I&amp;#x27;m obsessed. There&amp;#x27;s something so confident about a woman who can rock a pixie cut--and especially one who can wear it as many different ways as Carey can. She may look amazing in a Little Black Dress, but that doesn&amp;#x27;t mean Carey&amp;#x27;s style is a snooze. Check her out in this bold splashy floral print from one of Mrs. Obama&amp;#x27;s favorite designers, Thakoon. Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! Another gorgeous floral, another home run. This strapless frock is from Lanvin&amp;#x27;s latest resort collection, and her studded pumps, minimal accessories, and retro-glam beauty routine all had me carefully calculating my own outfit for Glamour&amp;#x27;s upcoming Women of the Year Awards. I&amp;#x27;m totally going to &amp;quot;Single White Female&amp;quot; her outfit! Last week, I was obsessed with Hilary Swank&amp;#x27;s dress from the Vionnet resort 2010 collection. Carey&amp;#x27;s red drapey number is from the same collection, and she is working it--don&amp;#x27;t you love that color against her pretty porcelain skin? The brooch (one of my favorite new accessories--thanks again, Mrs. O!) is the perfect finishing touch. I also love her more casual looks--who says you need to be all done up in a gown to be stunning? Carey&amp;#x27;s Chanel-esque tweed jacket and slouchy pants are the kind of masculine-meets-feminine outfits I&amp;#x27;m always striving for. What do you dolls think of Carey&amp;#x27;s red carpet style? Are you as obsessed as I am? Will you be watching this young starlet throughout awards season? Which of these looks are your favorites?
