Yay or Nay: Rooney Mara - Classically Elegant or Boring as Heck?

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday May 20, 2013

Let's get one thing straight: Rooney Mara is a badass statuesque alien that is not of this world. Somehow she always manages to perfectly straddle the line between punk rock and simple elegance. However, I think maybe the fresh faced, avant garde look that has become her signature, is starting to wear out its welcome.

I like this outfit. The draping is visually interesting and I love the pantsuit combo instead of an expected skirt. Her makeup and hair are both naturally beautiful and understated. But also, I'm kind of yawning here.

She's done this so many times I'm getting a bit tired of it. How about some colour, Rooney? A bold lip, perhaps? It's spring for goodness sake, how about some florals or pink, yellow or green? I get what you're going for but even your posing is making me fall asleep. It's a bit of a one trick pony.

What do you think of Rooney Mara's outfit? Has she nailed it or is she totally ho-hum? Leave a comment below by May 26th and you could win!

The hair is severe, but it is more of a "tidy" look, matching her natural make-up. i can't see her with it down with the side caplet. I don't think this ages her, a woman any older could not get away with this outfit. Yay from me.

I think she pulls off the white and black look well and I also get what she's going for, but you're right... maybe a bright eye or a dark lip... or dark eyes! Kind of boring.
