Yesterday, I said I would be more than happy if Rooney Mara’s stylist gave up the “corpse bride/secretary” aesthetic and simply let Rooney own a “glamour goth” style. I believe that some shade of goth is basically the only thing that works on Rooney currently, given that she’s still pretty much in character as Lisbeth Salander, and given her extremely pale skin and whatever that Spock monstrosity is on her head.
So, is Rooney listening to me? These are photos from the Berlin premiere of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Rooney wore this chic Michael Kors mullet dress that she comes close to pulling off. I don’t like the dress, but it sort of works on her. I’d still like to see her do something different with her hair and makeup, of course. But at least she’s not wearing a beige pile of cat sick.
I also wonder about Daniel Craig – wearing jeans for the premiere? Really, Mr. Bond? Daniel gets hooked up with some of the finest Saville Row suits out there, and he wears jeans to the premiere? He must already be over it. And why didn’t Rachel Weisz come out for this premiere? Maybe she was just looking for a free trip to Spain, and she didn’t feel like going to Berlin.
PS… Rooney has some very severe angles, doesn’t she? I’ve seen photos where she looks angelic and lovely, and then there are too many photos where she just looks like the Grinch. It’s rough.
