Carey Mulligan nodded to ’90s style icon Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The actress promoted her new film “The Ballad Of Wallace Island” in two black and tan looks.

Mulligan first paired a cashmere knit with baggy jeans, changing into an oversized sweater and knit pencil skirt at the film’s premiere. Her second look also included a black overcoat and knee-high boots, evoking one of Bessette-Kennedy’s 1996 ensembles.
