Prada

Julie Bowen has a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants philosophy to style, but there is one thing that is non-negotiable: Prada. “If it says Prada, I don’t throw it out,” the Modern Family actress told InStyle.com at the Huggies Hawaiian and Baby2Baby Luau Event recently, where she wore a vintage green summer dress by the Italian label. “This is vintage Prada, top-to-bottom, and these are my vintage Prada shoes,” she explained. “I’ve held on to all of this since the ‘90s in the hopes that it would come back.” Not only did the pieces come back—she saved them! “I got the shoes on eBay, and I had to sew up the straps of the dress this morning,” she said. “I’m very handy with a needle.” We’d say so! Tell us: Is there anything you just can’t throw away in your closet?

— Carita Rizzo

On Monday night, Carey Mulligan wore a glittering gold and silver paillette-covered dress by Prada, one of her favorite designers, to a red carpet event in New York. Two days later—the dress is on eBay! The newlywed actress put the item on the global auction site for charity, promising to donate all proceeds to Oxfam, an international relief and development organization. At the time we published this, there are only six bids placed maxing out at $1,000. Bidding ends May 19th, which means expert eBayers have nine days left to carefully watch the auction and get their bids in at the very last minute (because isn’t that what we all do?). Visit her page at ebay.com to get in on the action.

Carey Mulligan attended last night’s annual Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala on the arm of her new husband, Marcus Mumford of the band Mumford & Sons. The British newlywed chose a glittering gold and silver paillette-covered dress by one of her favorite designers, Prada. Not only is the label one of two honored by the esteemed museum this year, she also wore a custom Prada gown for her wedding in the English countryside two weeks ago. The only thing that glittered brighter than her dress was her diamond engagement ring, which featured a blue diamond or sapphire gem on either side, and gold wedding band, shown here for the first time since the pair tied the knot.
