Rooney Mara channels rock’n’roll in sheer, cut-out LBD

Does the name Rooney Mara ring a bell? No, we didn't think so. But the American actress will soon be hitting the big time (and hopefully Best Dressed lists) as she stars in the film adaptation of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, alongside Daniel Craig, this month.

And boy does this girl pack a punch: both on the big screen and fashion-wise at the New York premiere of the up and coming film last week.

Rooney Mara took a brave fashion leap of faith with the Prabal Gurung LBD that can be described as nothing short of a structural and innovative masterpiece. The cut away dress is a combination of barely-there sheer material and abstract blocks that envelop the actress perfectly. This edginess is gorgeously juxtaposed with feminine flowing skirting and ruffled sleeves. Rooney sports slicked black hair and naturalistic make-up, providing the perfect minimalistic canvas against the daring sculpturing of the dress.

To get the drastic look, have a look at the gorgeous key pieces Team LBD has picked out.

Don't forget to give the outfit that final rock'n'roll twist with a pair of spike stilettos (we can't believe this Karen Millen pair are such a bargain!) and an attitude to match!
