The Fug Girls’ Red-Carpet Thunderdome: Carey Mulligan vs. Anna Kendrick
After seven months of gala outfits, which new starlet is likely to outshine the other at the Oscars?
As the Oscar red carpet fast approaches (and, oh yeah, the actual Oscars), we’re particularly excited about seeing the outfits of two first-time nominees and heretofore unknowns: Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air) and Carey Mulligan (An Education). In the seven months of premieres, parties, and award shows that have served as the run-up to Oscar night — a period where many freshman starlets might choose to play it safe, for fear of landing on the worst-dressed lists — both of these women have consistently made risky sartorial choices, some of which paid off, and some of which should pay us off to forget they ever happened. Translation: On Sunday, these ladies could trot out anything. So as we wait to see who will make the bigger splash on Hollywood's Night of Nights, we present a side-by-side comparison to see which starlet, Anna or Carey, so far reigns supreme on the red carpet. Think of it as a slideshow Thunderdome, but with fewer loincloths.
