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.
Ms. 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!
