Rooney Mara wore stark white on the 2012 Oscars Red Carpet and surprised the world who expected the star to wear her usual black.
Her dress? A Givenchy designed by Riccardo Tisci–an angular, futuristic take on haute couture with a plunging neckline.
Rooney told E!‘s Ryan Seacrest that she chose that gown the same day, having picked it between three dresses at the last minute.
The 26-year-old actress who was nominated for her role as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo did the unthinkable: She wore no jewelry to the big dance.
