Julia Carey always gets it right on the red carpet.

All eyes were on her suited and booted husband James Corden as he arrived to host the Tony Awards earlier this summer, but it was her beautiful floral print dress that really caught our attention!

Nobody does florals quite like Erdem. When it comes to the print, you might think you've seen it all, but season after season the label manages to take a fresh approach the trend. No wonder the likes of the Duchess of Cambridge and Alexa Chung are big fans!

Julia's dreamy dress is from the forthcoming Resort 2017 collection, and we love the deep V-neckline, black waistband and frill layers. Unfortunately it's not yet available to buy online, but click (right) to shop the current collection at Net-a-Porter.

'I sat there and thought, OK, this didn't used to happen.'

Ross asked James who footed the bill for the extravagant evening.

'It was Sean Penn,' he replied. 'I was like, "thanks Sean. You didn't have to do that. I'll er, get the next one,"' while giggling.

Now there's a memory: James also credited Mariah Carey's people for the success of his segment Carpool Karaoke, which has seen the likes of, Michelle Obama and Justin Bieber join him in his car to sing a few jingles
