Carey Mulligan swaps English rose look for ethereal elegance in vampish make-up


Carey Mulligan as you've never seen her before! Actress swaps English rose look for ethereal elegance in vampish make-up and dramatic wigs


She has a reputation as a genteel English rose, but Carey Mulligan stepped out of her style comfort zone for a new magazine shoot. 
The Great Gatsby actress sported a poker straight blonde wig and vampish make-up as she posed for a series of ethereal shots for the latest issue of Flaunt magazine.
Carey, 27, sports a series of wigs, wearing a poker straight blonde bobbed hairpiece with bangs in the majority of the photographs, teamed with pale make-up and dramatic eyes and lips.

The demure star shows off her long toned legs in one shot where she sits on a chair in a plunging black and pink gown with gold Egyptian style bangle jewellery and necklace. 
Another photograph features the actress showing off her slender figure in a floor length lacy off-white dress and a tall hat made up of crimson roses. 
The drama of the shot is accentuated by the menagerie of burning candles at her feet as she stands in front of an altar.

Roses appear to be a common theme in the set of photographs, with Carey sporting a black wig and lying on a pillow of yellow and crimson roses teamed with a flouncy scarlet strapless dress over a black and white brassiere.
The actress also wears a geometrically designed white dress with a slew of bright red roses tucked into her bosom. 
And in one photograph, she wears an elaborate floral head dress with matching floral ankle adornments with a  colourful maxi skirt and sheer polka dot top.

The black and white set of photographs were even more dramatic, with a close-up of the star showing a dark spiky wig and dark red lips. 
One snapshot captures her strolling through a churchyard with a flowing black dress and white collar - lending itself to a gothic look. 
The star has been on the promotional trail to plug her latest film The Great Gatsby, in which she appears as shallow Daisy Buchanan.

She stars alongside Leonardi DiCaprio who plays self-made enigmatic millionaire Jay Gatsby. 
Carey recently paid tribute to the actor's performance in the Baz Luhrmann film, telling Access Hollywood: 'Leo’s fabulous in everything — he’s one of the greatest actors of our generation.
'But he has gone further than you could ever have imagined with this character, and really made [Gatsby] so multi-dimensional, and so flawed and so vulnerable, and yet so macho and sexy — everything that you want in Gatsby.'
Carey also 'loved' working with the actor, who she famously kissed during the audition for Daisy. 'It was amazing,' she said. 'From the first audition he was so incredible generous and sweet and was helping me the whole way through.'
