Carey Mulligan developed a soft spot for actor Freddie Prinze Jr. when she was a teenager, and she joked that it's been hard finding other celebs to live up to him.

She said: “When I was 14, all of my school friends and me were absolutely obsessed with Freddie Prinze Jr. He seemed to be everywhere and in everything was my first celebrity crush. So it set the bar high, because everyone since then has had to live up to Freddie Prinze Jr.”

Although she doesn’t have any celebrity crushes now, Carey Mulligan does have a famous friend -- Keira Knightley.

The two young starlets first met while shooting Pride and Prejudice and have become even closer since making the critically acclaimed drama movie Never Let Me Go together.

Carey Mulligan told new! magazine: “Keira and I met on Pride and Prejudice, but we didn’t become friends until the following year, when we were promoting the film. We got close because we’re both the same age, we both live in London and have the same circle of friends. It was great to work with her again on Never Let Me Go but it’s funny because in Pride and Prejudice I only had three lines. To do something equal to her, where we’re challenging each other, is great. I feel so lucky.”

Celebrity Pictures: Carey Mulligan And Maggie Gyllenhaal

Celebrity Pictures: 

Carey Mulligan And Maggie Gyllenhaal

Carey Mulligan and Maggie Gyllenhaal came out for the opening night of the production of Three Sisters in New York City yesterday.

Maggie posed for the camera with bells and whistles on but Carey Mulligan looks…tired? Upset? A little under the weather? Maybe she did just roll out of bed and go straight to the event. Maybe it’s just one of those days for the actress.

It really has to be tough to be a celebrity and be expected to look AMAZING every time you’re out in public. Plus, with Fashion Week right around the corner, I’m sure we’ll be seeing Carey Mulligan out in her finest, very soon. She’s considered a style icon, so I have high hopes for what she’ll be wearing!

I actually kind of like when a star shows up somewhere looking like a normal person, don’t you? This wouldn’t be a bad addition to my ongoing Celebrities Without Makeup post.

Carey Mulligan Is A Sensible Person

 Carey Mulligan Is A Sensible Person

I think Carey Mulligan is gorgeous, so it’s kind of funny to hear that she doesn’t consider herself sexy, but that’s exactly what the ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” actress told Britain’s Elle Magazine.

“I’ve never felt like a sexy person… I’ve always felt like a sensible person. I’ve always felt absurd wearing anything revealing.”

She also went on to say that the Hollywood trend of looking a ‘certain way’ isn’t for her;

“I’ve always felt different here. I remember going up for auditions, walking into rooms of girls in denim minis, with cut off tank tops, tanned legs, long hair and manicures, thinking, ‘Erm…’ But it never made me feel bad. I’ve never felt pressure to look like that.”

“I’m not trying to sell myself as a visual. I’m selling my willingness to play a part really well. If your body doesn’t look normal, how can you convey normal people, how can you be relatable?”

It’s so refreshing to hear a young actress say that! I love that she’s more concerned about her work than how she looks! Wouldn’t it be nice if we embraced that attitude a little bit more in Hollywood?

Carey Mulligan Saved Keira Knightley From Retirement

 Carey Mulligan Saved Keira Knightley From Retirement

It’s hard to think of someone retiring at the age of 22, but that’s how old Keira Knightley was when she contemplated retiring from acting. Knightley spoke to British Vogue and said;

“I wasn’t enjoying what I was doing and I felt terribly guilty about that.

“I remember hating the idea that I was in a privileged position and couldn’t see the point of any of it.

“I had worked solidly since I was 16, till 22, and I had not been on holiday in all of that time.”

Fearing that she might have missed out on a ‘normal’ life, the now 25 year old actress thought about finding a new job, until the opportunity to work with Carey Mulligan on ‘Never Let Me Go’ presented itself;

“I didn’t know if I was going to go back to acting at all. I think for a long time I thought I wouldn’t. I think I intended not to work again.”

“Carey’s a very good friend of mine and I felt if I was to start making films again, she was someone who would watch my back.”

Well working from 16 years old to 22 years old without a vacation is a long time, but I think that she’s pretty fortunate with what she gets to do for work. Not sure if I would be complaining about it!

The 10 Best Dressed of the Week

Following this weeks trend here on Style Spot, three of the best dressed on the list are wearing sparkly sequins. I'm a huge fan of sequins, and I'm afraid you just have to bear with me. It's just one of those things that I can't cure. Even though there are plenty of outfits focusing on the glitz and the glamour on the list, there are three really great everyday outfits, and I can tell you that Kate Moss is the brain behind one of them.

10. Sienna Miller

Sienna Miller is one of those who inspires me most when it comes to style. Her style does go up and down, but when she gets it right she really gets it right. Her outfits at the airport are also an inspiration most of the time, as they are not too fussy, but laidback and stylish at the same time. Just like this one. Comfy skinny jeans, a leather jacket and a few great accessories, like a big bag and a scarf.

9. Olivia Wilde

This is the first sequin outfit on the list. Olivia Wilde is wearing this beautiful and classic piece by Michael Kors. I read on The Fashion Spot that some find her looking older than she is in this dress, but I think it suits her very well. She has such a strong face that she can wear this dramatic outfit without looking like a witch (which is quite easy when you're wearing a long black dress).

8. Kate Moss

Not many can pull off a 70s inspired sequin jumpsuit, but Kate Moss most definitely can. I wish I was brave enough to wear this piece which she wore to the launch of her last collection for TopShop, but I doubt that I would look nowhere near as good as Kate. The bangs and the red lipstick completes this look perfectly.

7. Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway also wore a black jumpsuit this week, but left the sequins at home. I love the lace detail both on the chest area and at the bottom.  She kept it simple, but fun at the same time by wearing high black patent heels, colourful nail polish and a sparkly cocktail ring. Very chic indeed.

6. Stephanie Pratt

I am as surprised as you might be that I have given Stephanie the 6th place, but I really do like this outfit. Especially the details such as the necklace and the belt. I used to be quite the devoted "The Hills" watcher, and I saw a change in Stephanie's style in the last season. A change which was for the better. But back to the outfit: I'd maybe change the skirt and wear more low-key shoes with this if I were her.



5. Eva Mendes

I can always rely on Eva Mendes wearing a great outfit every week. She always looks stunning, and I believe that if she wore only a potato sack she would look amazing as well. I adore this floaty, chocolate brown piece teamed together with gold accessories and nude heels. Spot on as always.

4. Behati Prinsloo

Apart from Kate Moss, the model who has the best style in my opinion, is Behati Prinsloo. She has this cool and special something about her, and she projects it so well into her everyday outfits. There is absolutely nothing I would change about this outfit. Oh leopard coat, please come and live in my closet? And bring the rest with you.

3. Kate Moss

This is a standard outfit by Kate Moss, but it is oh-so brilliant. Even though I feel like I've seen a similar outfit on Kate before, she continues to wow me with her style choices. I want this camel coat so bad that my insides hurt, and I could easily wear those boots every day. A visit to Kate's closet would be an amazing dream come true.

2. Carey Mulligan

I fell in love with this outfit the instant I saw it, and it's mainly because of the combination of colours. I really like it when an outfit consists of basic colours, such as white, black and grey, and a bright colour is added as an great detail. The electric blue heels makes this lovely outfit so exciting. Carey Mulligan carries it so well.

1. Natalia Vodianova

I posted this outfit on Friday, so you know I love this. And when I say love, I mean LOVE! Natalia Vodianova is the perfect woman for this dress designed by Balmain, and she has chosen excellent accessories to wear with it. She could easily have looked like a walking Christmas tree, but instead she resembles a perfect angel dazzling at the top of it.
