Carey Mulligan Makes First Red Carpet Appearance After Giving Birth To Baby

Actress Carey Mulligan has made her first red carpet appearance to promote her new film Suffragette since the birth of her "happy and healthy" baby, reports have revealed. Mulligan, 30, didn’t ever confirm her pregnancy with husband singer Marcus Mumford, 28, but sources have suggested that the couple welcomed their first child in September.

The film focuses on the woman’s suffrage movement of the late 19th and early 20th Century as activists fought for women’s right to vote.

Speaking at the BFI Festival press conference, Mulligan said of her newest movie: "What I love about this film is it didn’t feel like a documentary about a time; it felt like a film about today.

"It is a film to mark the achievements of what these women did and what they gave us but also to highlight where we are in the world.

"We still live in a society that is sexist and that goes throughout history."
