Carey Mulligan is one of those actresses who you know will never fit the typical Hollywood mould. Her quirky style and tendency to stay away from the cameras when not working makes her an intriguing personality and mysterious style icon. Carey is not afraid to try edgy short hairstyles, and with her delicate features she can pull it off effortlessly. We think after the upcoming release of the classic movie “The Great Gatsby” (she plays lead character Daisy), the fashion world won’t be able to get enough of Carey Mulligan and her chameleon-like style. For now, she provides great inspiration for those of us with, or considering, short hair.  Check out some of Carey Mulligan’s most successful looks so far:
