Marvelous in monochrome: Carey Mulligan is an androgynous beauty in black and white tuxedo at Great Gatsby screening

Marvelous in monochrome: Carey Mulligan was an androgynous beauty in a black and white tuxedo at a Great Gatsby screening in New York on Sunday night

The Oscar nominee, who turns 28 later this month, donned a pointy-shouldered black tuxedo and peep-toe heels for the event held at the Museum of Modern Art.

The demure English rose swept her short blonde locks into a loose knot and accentuated her delicate features with neutral makeup.

Absent from Carey's look was jewellery, which she may be avoiding after unfortunately breaking a £200,000 Tiffany pearl necklace on the set.

Bright star: The film is a highlight in an already stellar career for Carey

'I wore a pearl necklace around my wrist and I broke it. They went everywhere. I’ve never seen a group of people react so fast,' the Drive star told the Detroit Free Press.
'To be wearing literally millions of dollars worth of jewelry every day really lends a quality of elegance, in a way. You feel very kind of expensive when you’re walking about. I’ve never experienced anything like it.'

Carey has been on a whirlwind publicity tour for the Baz Luhrmann remake - shot in 3D - based on the 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The lavish film, due out May 10, also stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher, and newcomer Elizabeth Debicki.

'When I’m back in London living my normal life, that world doesn’t really affect me. I’m never recognized. I’m recognized maybe once a year,' said Mulligan.

'Now, because of Gatsby at the moment, because I’m on magazine covers, I get a few more people recognizing me. But generally, I just kind of walk around completely left alone.'
