She's one of Britain's finest young actresses.

Posing for photos on the red carpet at the Old Billingsgate Market, the Suffragette star - who gave birth to daughter Evelyn in September - flattered her post-baby body in a lovely frock.

The Oscar-nominated actress looked sensational in a striking floor-length Gucci patterned dress.

The stand out column gown boasted a unique geometric design and floral pattern, in addition to an oversized bird print.

Her brunette tresses were styled into a slick side-parting and teased into glossy, tousled waves, which cascaded past her shoulders.

The London-born beauty sported a flawless beauty look, consisting of a dewy complexion, slicked-back brows, lashings of black mascara and glossy lips.

The actress - who's married to Marcus Mumford, 28, of the band Mumford and Sons - was up for the Best Actress award for her portrayal of Maud in women's rights movie Suffragette.

She lost out to Saoirse Ronan, who won the BIFA for the role of Eilis in movie Brooklyn.

Meanwhile, Carey recently praised Jennifer Lawrence, 25, for speaking out in the name of feminism.

Carey applauded the 25-year-old for her essay discussing the Hollywood gender pay gap, telling Deadline: 'It’s a long overdue conversation and it’s admirable what she has done.' 

The Great Gatsby star also addressed controversy surrounding Jennifer's article, since she is the world's best paid actress.

'Sure, there’s been cynicism toward her speaking out and the fact that she makes a lot of money, but she is completely and selflessly rising above that,' Carey gushed.
