Rooney Mara Starts Slow, Ends Stunning :: Dragon Tattoo Actress

Sometimes, the Design Superstar honors we bestow around the trendy dames of Hollywood come with a wild twist: a starlet who starts out slow on the style front, but then comes back the following day with an outfit that is pure perfection. And get ready, 'cause it is one of those weeks! Today, our design MVP is also the week's MIP (that's "most improved player," for the uninitiated), thanks to her wonderful followup to an earlier not-so-great attempt. Who're we talking about?
It's Rooney Mara, of course-who was ubiquitous this week during the multi-continent premiere occasions for "The Girl Using the Dragon Tattoo." Rooney continues to be channeling Lisbeth Salander in a major way with her style options for your various premieres, sticking strictly with basic black or white and choosing sudden silhouettes with cut-out accents, echoing the distressed gothic aesthetic of her wardrobe for your film. Call it "Lisbeth Couture"! But at first, it wasn't fairly working: at the Stockholm premiere, her Roksanda Illincic jumpsuit was wrinkled, overlarge, and waaaaay too long (even though none of this stopped Rooney from donning some beautiful crimson lipstick and laughing it up adorably with Stellan "Father of Alexander" Skarsg?rd).

But just one day later, Rooney had gotten her haute Lisbeth appear down to a science, showing as much as the brand new York premiere inside a daring Prabal Gurung dress with surprising lines and lots of sheer netting. It's a terrific choice-flattering and interesting, displaying off her lengthy limbs and with angles that echo her sleek, cropped hair. And with bold lips, minimum makeup, and pale skin peeking out in all the correct places, this appear was a shoo-in for style superstardom. Also, the shoes! And also the back! OMG THE BACK.
