It’s slightly amusing to me to see that someone at the studio told Meryl Streep that she needs to take a big seat and not say anything else for a while. After Meryl took a big dump on feminism last week, the Suffragette producers must have been like, “Well, this was unexpected. I guess Carey is going to have to do more.” These photos are from last night’s NYC premiere of Suffragette – Meryl didn’t even come! It was just Carey Mulligan, really. Carey wore this Alexander McQueen dress which is… sort of boring, actually. It’s Sarah Burton-for-McQueen, so that explains it.
It’s amazing to see Carey out and about and hustling for this film considering she literally just gave birth a few weeks ago. All we know about when she gave birth was that it happened in September and it was probably mid-to-late September, considering she was begging off of an appearance at Telluride in early September because she still hadn’t given birth. While Carey appeared on The Graham Norton Show over the weekend, she also confirmed that she had a girl and that she gave birth “three weeks ago.” And now we know the name too…
EVELYN. Evelyn Mumford. Because Carey’s husband is Marcus Mumford of the Mumford & Sons. Carey told ET that the name Evelyn has no real family significance, she just “came up with it” on the fly. It sort of reminds me of the non-drama of Keira Knightley’s baby-naming. Keira didn’t announce she had given birth for a while, and then she sort of dropped the name to a media outlet like it was no big deal. Keira had a little girl too, and she named her daughter Edie. Considering Keira and Carey are good friends, don’t you believe that Edie Righton and Evelyn Mumford will grow up together and by BFFs for life?
