Two Red Carpet Dresses You May Have Missed — and Need to See up Close
Madame Bovary costars Mia Wasikowska and Laura Carmichael stepped onto the red carpet over the weekend in two dresses we haven't stopped thinking about since. While floor-sweeping gowns always have their place at a high-profile event, like the BFI London Film Festival, we were awed by their shorter hemlines and intricate details.
In a metallic cotton tweed corseted dress from the Chanel Haute Couture Spring '14 lineup, Mia reminded us just how much we miss her, while Laura's floral-appliquéd black and white confection proved that the Downton Abbey star is even more exciting to watch off screen. If you don't believe us yet, you will when you see their dresses up close. Just scroll to get a zoomed-in view of their breathtaking premiere moments.

It doesn't get any more beautiful than the floral embroidery on Laura's neckline.

Mia Wasikowska
A closer look reveals embellishments at the sleeves and a playful proportion that slims the waist.

So as not to distract from the dress, Mia selected a simplified pair of black stilettos.
