Rooney Mara‘s high-fashion, dark dresses have quickly defined her signature, red carpet style while promoting The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. While the stylish newcomer strayed from not-so-basic black in a Rodarte gown, she was back to dressing edgy and chic in Michael Kors for the Berlin premiere of her latest flick.

Her dress, from the pre-fall 2012 collection, featured a rise-and-fall hemline — and I definitely think we can expect to see a lot more of this look during awards season! The dress, complete with cutout leather detailing, was another great choice for the star — even if you are getting a bit tired of seeing her in such dark looks, there’s no denying the fact that she brought a fresh, edgy vibe to the red carpet. A pair of Nicholas Kirkwood pumps completed her get-up.

What did you think of her latest look?

After showing off so many fantastic frocks while promoting The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, I can hardly wait to see what Rooney Mara has in store for us come awards season — and if it’s anything like her last appearance on the red carpet, we can definitely expect sophisticated glamour!

For the Madrid premiere, the petite star opted for a flowing Rodarte Fall 2011 halter gown. While lately she has opted for a lot of dark hues, this light look was definitely a nice departure. Once again, Rooney ruled the red carpet! Do you like her style choices so far?

Rooney Mara is a new face on the red carpet, and it looks like the star is determined to stand out — and that’s exactly what she did in NYC at the premiere of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo on Dec. 14. The star strayed away from a conventional look, instead wearing a gothic yet girly super-sheer Prabal Gurung frock — but did you like her different dress?

Personally, I thought the ensemble seemed as if it was made for her — it’s so consistent with her edgy yet feminine sense of style. I also thought it fit well with the theme of the flick. The star pulled her hair back to show off the sexy sheer detailing and completed the look with patent Christian Louboutin Mary Jane peep-toes. I’m obsessed with this particular shoe, and I think it added to the look without taking the focus away from the frock.

Rooney is definitely one to watch on the red carpet — but did you love her look as much as I did?

Noomi Rapace wowed critics, won numerous awards and was put on the map for her portrayal of Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish version of the “Millenium Series” films and now that the U.S. version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is hitting theaters, HollywoodLife.com got the talented actress’ thoughts on the remake.

“I will absolutely see it,” Noomi, 31, told us at the premiere of her new film, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, in Los Angeles Dec. 6.

She added, “I am quite curious, I think [the director] David Fincher is fantastic, so I will see it at some point.”

Starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, the American version of the first story of the series hits theaters Dec. 21. Judging from the trailers, the director and the actors involved, it’s going to be quite the film. We can’t wait!

Rooney Mara steers away from her bad girl look in the film and trades it in for a more lady like appeal. But does Rooney look better as a tough chick or refined woman?

Rooney wears a classic Ralph Lauren Daryn gown from his Fall 2011 collection which looks sexy and sophisticated, completed with a lacy tattoo design encasing. This is the perfect look for the daring actress and matches well with her choppy hair style and smoky eyes.

Do you prefer Rooney with an edgier or safer look, HollywoodLifers?

We’ve been counting down the months for the English version of ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ and now the wait is nearly over! Check out this four minute extended trailer — it’ll blow your mind!

There was a ton of debate over which young actress should play the leading role of Lisbeth Salander in the upcoming remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but after watching this extended trailer, we know Rooney Mara was perfect for the job!

The 26-year-old American actress appears to be brilliant as the emotionally challenged, yet genius, hacker in the David Fincher-directed film, also starring Daniel Craig.

Even if you haven’t seen the Swedish film version, or read the trilogy, watch this trailer and get excited for the film’s release Dec. 21. It’s going to be incredible!

Genius filmmaker David Fincher gets it right, keeping the film bleak, hypnotic — and even sexy!

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was one of the darkest novels to ever hit the top of the international bestsellers list, and now it’s the must-see thriller of the year!

Starring Daniel Craig as a disgraced journalist and Rooney Mara as a troubled punk-rock computer programmer, the odd couple attempts to solve a missing persons mystery — and danger follows them with every step.

The book is VERY dark and troubling, yet incredibly exotic and compelling. The trailer hits the right tone, likely thanks to the steady hand of director David Fincher, whose The Social Network was one of the best films of last year.

What do you think, HollywoodLifers — will this adaptation be as good as the solid Swedish version from 2009? Or has all of the hype simply passed you by?

Although Kristen Stewart was up for the role of a lifetime in the highly-anticipated movie The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, the job went to relative unknown Rooney Mara. With the first pictures of a punked-out, in-character Rooney, 25, showing up in W magazine, it’s hard not to think about how Kristen, 20, would have fit in the role. She has experience walking on the wild side, losing much of her glam while playing Joan Jett in 2010′s The Runaways. Vote now for your favorite girl gone punk!
