From tousled-haired girl-next-door to career-defining cropped screen siren, we track the changing look of Brit beauty and critics' darling, Carey Mulligan

PA PhotosDoes she ever have an off-day? Sigh. Carey looked chic and glamorous at the London premiere of her highly-anticipated new film, Never Let Me Go in October 2010. We love the cute and quirky up-do and on-trend berry-stained lips. Someone’s been doing their hair and beauty homework...
PA PhotosDainty and doll-like, Carey looked stunning at the Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps Premiere in NYC - no doubt showing now ex-boyfriend Shia LeBeouf just what he was missing.
PA PhotosVa va voom! Carey smouldered at a New York screening of her new flick, Never Let Me Go (also starring Britain’s fellow finest Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield), with fashionably tousled tresses, on-trend pale skin and sizzling smoky eyes. Wow.
PA PhotosCute, yet undeniably chic, Carey proved that growing out a crop needn’t be boring by adding interest with an on-trend twisted braid and fashionable platinum highlights.
PA PhotosLooking very much like a young Mia Farrow during a red carpet appearance at Cannes, Carey rocked flapper girl chic with 20s-inspired pin-curls and false lashes. Love it.
PA PhotosPromoting new flick Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps with her then-boyfriend and co-star Shia by her side at Cannes, Carey seemed relaxed and happy. We love her naturally tousled crop, nude rose-hued lips and well-kohled eyes.
Rex FeaturesLooking every inch the polished Hollywood starlet, Carey looked grown-up and glamorous at 2010’s Independent Spirit Awards, sporting the foolproof, red carpet formula of ruby red lips and lashings of lashes.
PA PhotosWhat a difference a week makes. A mere seven days later, Carey rocked up to the 82nd Annual Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon in Hollywood with this edgy platinum hue. We applaud her beauty bravery.
PA PhotosReturning to her ‘natural beauty’ roots, colour-chameleon Carey - now showcasing new copper tones in her russet crop - kept her style simple at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival Awards 2010, flaunting that flawless skin with just a hint of rosy blush, nude lips and movie star lashes.
PA PhotosProving that she keeps a close eye on the catwalks, Carey fashioned her delicious amber locks into an on-trend quiff for the Hollywood Awards Gala in 2009. We loved this look.
PA PhotosSimply adorable at the An Education LA premiere in 2009 with an edgy side-swept cropped fringe and lashings of liner. Carey was by now rocking a red hot new hue and showing off the style that snared her one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors, Shia LeBeouf. Jealous, us!?
Rex FeaturesLooking young and vibrant with her on-trend side-swept crop, fashionably pale skin and edgy eyeliner for The September Issue premiere in New York.
PA PhotosIn 2009, Carey - now definitely one to watch in celebrity hair circles - swapped her blonde locks for this flattering brunette hue with warm tones. The starlet showcased her new look at the BAFTAs, where she was received the Best Actress gong for her breakthrough role in the critically acclaimed An Education. Not bad for a relative newcomer at just 22, eh?
Rex FeaturesA career-defining crop in 2008 helped garner style column inches for the new critics’ darling. Carey cut her lengthy locks pixie-short and swapped her natural mousy hue for this flattering honey blonde shade, earning her oodles of style points in our eyes and giving the starlet a chic, demure and elegant look reminiscent of siren Audrey Hepburn.
Rex FeaturesCute and pixie-like with a haphazard up-do and simple make-up for the 2007 British Independent Film Awards red carpet. Carey is yet to find her fashion feet, but this fuss-free look sure showcases her natural, ‘English Rose’-style beauty and enviably flawless complexion.
Rex FeaturesFresh-faced and natural, a 21-year-old Carey is snapped sans make-up backstage at London’s Royal Court Theatre in 2007, following a stint treading the boards in the West End. She may be make-up-free, but we think the au natural Carey is already oozing star quality.
