Carey Mulligans hair: awkward, funky, or kind-of cute?

Carey Mulligan is one of my favorite rising stars – she’s really emerged as a contender for decades-long girl-crush potential, like Cate Blanchett or Meryl Streep. She’s talented, she funny, she’s interesting, and she makes interesting career choices. But unlike, say, a Blanchett, Carey’s style is still very questionable. Over the weekend, she did two big public appearances at the Dubai Film Festival. For one appearance, she did this odd hair and a ball gown by Erdem Moralioglu that looks oddly like a Chanel coacktail dress I remember on Blake Lively.

Then, the second appearance… slicked back hair, making her look like a ferret.

Note to Carey: you do not have the face for this hair. I realize that after she chopped off her locks for a very cute and endearing pixie cut, there could potentially be tragedy in the months to come. Here it is – the awkward hair-growing-out stage. The stage where she can’t really do anything with it that doesn’t look like hell.
