Check Out All of Rooney Mara's Awesome Lisbeth Salander-ish Looks from Her Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Press Tour

At this point, it's common knowledge for those who have been following Rooney Mara's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo transformation that the film role as left a bit of a permanent mark on her personal style. In addition to holding onto to the short bangs and nipple ring, she recently told Allure that she "used to wear a lot of girly, frilly things" and now "buys things that are more comfortable, and more utilitarian, and sort of boyish." While not exactly boyish, her red carpet and promotional appearance looks have all been thoughtful, with a gothic vibe and a little severe. The Prabal Gurung, Givenchy couture, Roksanda Illincic, YSL and Rodarte pieces we've seen her in have felt Lisbeth-appropriate, in a more formal, fashion-y way. For some reason, she also seems very committed to revealing the sides of her torso in every dress. The result has been stunning and captivating every time and keeps us wanting more.

Here's a Closer Look at H&M's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Collection

We got a little peek at H&M's forthcoming The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo-inspired women's collection when it was announced in WWD last week and now we have full styled-out looks courtesy of the New York Post. The collection, which was designed by the film's costume designer, Trish Summerville, is inspired by Lisbeth Salander, the film (and book)'s ass-kicking, crime-solving, computer-hacking female protagonist. Summerville told the daily, “I tried to pick pieces from the film and adapt them to make them a little more fashionable for real-life women.” When asked what she thought Salander would think of "all of this commercialism," responded with reason, “She’s a character from books. So she doesn’t really have a voice in it.”

Rooney Mara Will Cover November Vogue

We've heard it from two very reliable little birdies that Rooney Mara will cover Vogue's November issue. Her cover is obviously timed to her breakout star-making turn as Lisbeth Salander in the hotly anticipated US version of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, out December 21. But if you were looking for more evidence that Mara was in with Vogue, look no further than the front row at Rodarte's spring show, where Mara, with her black close cropped Lisbeth-hair, sat next to Anna Wintour. We're excited about this cover because Rooney Mara is an exciting fresh face. She completely won us over as Erica Albright in The Social Network, when she told Jesse Eisenberg's Mark Zuckerberg “You are going to go through life thinking that girls don’t like you because you’re a nerd. And I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that that won’t be true. It’ll be because you're an asshole.” So satisfying! (I could watch that scene over and over.) She also starred in Diane von Furstenberg's daughter's new film Tanner Hall, so you know, there's another tenuous fashion connection. What do you think of Vogue's November cover girl choice?
