Cassie from Promising Young Woman 

Looking for something more than just dressing up as a sexy nurse? Look no further than Carey Mulligan’s most iconic look from the film Promising Young Women.

It is a dark comedy/thriller that follows Mulligan’s character – Casey – as she deals with her traumatic past.
