Since her memorable turn as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo back in 2011, Rooney Mara (Side Effects, Her) has become one of Hollywood’s new generation’s most recognizable face with her classic good looks, her gamine figure and crazy talent to boot; yet despite her astronomical rise to fame, she managed to remain a mystery and keeps us guessing on what she’ll do next.
On the red carpet however, Rooney wears almost exclusively black and white with occasional splashes of blush tones favoring fashion houses like Givenchy, Chanel and Alexander McQueen. Although she doesn’t experiment much on her color of choice, she still keeps it interesting by playing with the silhouette of her dress – she’s been seen rocking frilly frocks, cut-out couture, structured straight-from-the-runway looks etc.
True to her “fashion girl” status, she pulled all the stops during her press tour for her new film Carol (more on this soon) opposite Cate Blanchett (another fashion girl) so imagine the parade of glorious dresses they wore – from Cannes, London to New York, Los Angeles and all the stops in between. And with the buzz that the film generated, it can be said that there’s still so much to come this awards season!
Can’t wait to see what she wears next week during the SAG awards, then the BAFTA’s and finally, the Oscars!
*She can be seen next on Kubo and the Two Strings, Una, The Secret Scripture, Lion and an Untitled Terence Malick film all coming out this year! And here’s hoping that we get to see the long-overdue sequel to the Dragon Tattoo!
