Rooney Mara in red lace Valentino in Rome: very pretty or too frilly?

These are some new photos of Rooney Mara and her God and Creator, director David Fincher, in Rome. I guess Daniel Craig wasn’t contractually obligated to make appearances for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo any further than Berlin. Or maybe Rooney and Fincher just wanted to have some private time in Rome. Is that gross? I can’t decide if it’s really gross or just sort of uncomfortable. Obviously, there’s the age difference, and the difference in status. It’s all so Pygmalion – Prof. Higgins and his Eliza Doolittle. And look at the way they look at each other. They’re doing it. Gross? Eh.

As for Rooney and her shot of color – my immediate assumption was correct, this dress is Valentino. It reminds me of the lace dress Keira Knightley wore at the 2011 Venice Film Festival premiere of A Dangerous Method, although I liked Keira’s a lot better, and Keira wore her dress with more elegance. Still, it’s interesting to see Rooney in color. Red works on her, and I appreciate that her makeup is improving. I still think she needs a new stylist, though.

I’m also including photos from the photo call earlier in the day yesterday. I wish we had better photos of Rooney’s dress at the Rome photo call. She wore this odd Dion Lee leather dress – you can see it here. It’s… weird. I don’t think Rooney has the kind of figure that she thinks she has.

    Very, very, very, very pretty dress. I wish someone like Angelina Jolie had worn this at the prime of her beauty.

    She needs to hike her boobs up a few inches. They looked sad and neglected.

    And the red dress would look better cocktail or even tea-length.

    I don’t like her hair. I wish she’d wear more makeup, too. She looks like a zombie. The Valentino dress is nice, but everything else is just ick.

    I wish she’d do something about those godawful bangs. Yes, I realize she’s probably contractually obligated to keep them until the second and third movies are done filming, but she’s pushed them off to the side on one or two red carpets and that makes her look so much better!

    Bangs trauma. They look like a low slung yarmulke.

    I like that dress, and I’m not really a frilly person. Her makeup looks great with it too, but I agree the hair is too severe.

    Ha ha..oh man…the bangs trauma just kills me. The dress is awful but I guess it suits her *oh-so-avante-garde-style*? She’s just so completely unattractive to me. Bleh. Cue the “she’s so edgy and stylish and different!” defense comments.

    Dress is ok – makeup is better than usual. The bangs have got to go – makes it look like she only has half of a head.

    I think she looks very nice. I don’t even hate the bangs when they are styled like they are in the red dress. She looks very pretty which she has that little angelic smirk on her face…she knows how to work her angles, thats for sure.

    Rooney is homely looking, and I’m sick to death of everything about her–her horrible make-up, those dumb bangs, her “I’m so edgy” terrible fashion choices, and her superior attitude. Go away, Rooney. Please.

    Valentino is for women who are over 30.
    After the royal wedding, and that hideous beige number that Princess Eugenie (either her or her sister) wore, I dislike Valentino. He needs to retire.
    This dress, although a nice colour, reminds me of a toilet roll cover.

    What is up with her face? In some photos I’ve seen of her from this litttle tour she looks very unattractive and goofy and yeah you get my meaning. Then in others she looks really gorgeous!

    I like the top part of the red dress. The bottom, not so much.

    I just feel like tilting her chin up. The way Fincher is looking at her makes me feel icky.

    Her make up looks very nice. I also hate those bangs, but I guess she has to keep them for a bit.

    These two definitely have something between them–you can see the tension in the photos. I feel bad for Cean, his producing/life partner. Unless she’s really evolved, I doubt she’ll take it well.

    Oh I “get” that she has to keep the hairstyle for movie promotions but it doesn’t change the fact she still looks awful.

    The only pretty thing about her are her eyes.

    This dress is such a throwback to the 1950′s. Not in a good way.

    Fincher has a face like a drunken bird of prey and is chunky, just a few pounds away from having man-boobs. Now, I don’t judge people by their weight, but if this was a female director with more than a few extra pounds, she would be talked about like a dawg, (and probably right here on this site).

    Her makeup is improving and I find myself liking this dress. I still hate her hairstyle, it’s a trainwreck.

    I hate admitting this but my gut feeling is that there is something inappropriate with her and Fincher. Really hope I’m wrong.

    In that second picture he’s probably thinking about all the nasty things he’ll do to her. Looks like it to me :P

    For all the people who don’t like her hair. It’s her “lisbeth hair”. There obviously isn’t much she can do with it. Even if she didnt have another Dragon tattoo movie to shoot, her hair would still be growing out, and therefore she would still have bangs.

    The red really suits her. If you remember all the silly color matching from the 1980′s, she’s a “Winter”. The dress is perhaps a bit too girly, but again-that red is gorgeous.

    Ok. I’ve changed my mind about Rooney. I saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo today, and I thought she owned it. I was prepared to hate her as much as I loved Noomi Rapace in the role, but I couldn’t. I thought she did a great job. Even if she’s a douche in real life, I think I have a soft spot for her now.

    She was amazing in the movie, but talk about bangs trauma on the red carpet. Girl get some hair extensions!

    I think she looks nice and edgy. You should accept that there are people who are different, not everyone should wear extensions, great lashes, spray on tan etc. She has this special, more intelectual look. She is certainly not Barbie – baby-pinkish blond.

    its difficult to make a Valentino dree look anything but spectacular

    but Rooney Mara did it

    I just hope this isnt the new
    ‘standard” of beauty

    Im so tired of her “middle aged white man fantasy” thing
