Carey Mulligan is a repeat fashion offender!

Last night the Drive actress stepped out for the London Critics' Circle Film Awards in a demure red Roland Mouret tea-length dress with white tulips. She paired it with blue suede Yves Saint Laurent pumps, a side-parted 'do and Tacori gold earrings.

But it wasn't her first time wearing the frock.

Exactly two weeks ago, the 26-year-old thesp donned the same dress to a party in SoCal, accessorizing with black peep-toe pumps and a wavy, back-swept hairstyle.

While most stars wouldn't be caught dead wearing the same look twice, this fashionista brazenly dared to recycle her dress!

Carey must really love it to wear it again, because as a hot young actress, you know she can have her pick of any new designer duds out there for every event she attends.

Do you think it's refreshing to see this actress keep it real by wearing the same dress twice, or was it a fashion faux-pas? Weigh in below!
