Over the weekend, we got a sneak peek of Rooney Mara on the cover of the March issue of Interview magazine (Checkout the cover and editorial preview here). Now, take a look at the 27-year-old actress’ full black and white editorial, shot by photographer Mikael Jansson. Rooney looks vampy in designs from Givenchy, Chanel, Balenciaga, Miu Miu and Dior.
Interviewed by filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, who just happens to be the director of her latest movie ‘Side Effects‘, Rooney explains in the magazine why she is naked in every movie.
“I just do what I’m told, when I’m told. There is a line, though — like when you asked me to do reverse cowgirl with Channing [Tatum, who plays Mara’s husband in Side Effects], and I put my foot down. If the character should be nude in the scene and it makes sense and I trust the person making the film — and I regret my decision to trust you now that I know you more — then I don’t see a problem with it. I certainly don’t want to be involved in anything that is gratuitous, but I don’t think the human body is something to be ashamed of”, Rooney reveals.
Rooney Mara graces the cover of the March issue of US Interview magazine.
Clad in Calvin Klein, the 27-year-old actress gives a haunting stare on the moody Mikael Jansson-shot cover.
The ‘Side Effects‘ star reveals to the magazine how it was like growing up in the Mara house.
“When I was growing up, I wasn’t allowed to say ‘fart.’ Fart was a swear word. We had to say ‘honk’ instead — ‘He honked!’ A penis was a ‘winky.’ But these days, I like words with a little more punch… Like c—”, Rooney explains to Interview.
After the jump, checkout Rooney’s dark and dramatic editorial preview, where she dons a Marc Jacobs dress, with a cut-out skirt. Rooney also wears a Maison Martin Margiela strapless top.
Raven-haired starlet Rooney Mara lands her second US Vogue cover for the February edition of the magazine.
The close-up shot cover of the 27-year-old actress, with her hair styled into a messy chignon and wearing Calvin Klein, was snapped by David Sims.
Rooney discusses being a fashion icon with the magazine.
“The thing is, it’s kind of an annoying part of the job — because I’m not a model, and I don’t want to be. I didn’t try to be a style icon. I’m just not that interested in that world. But it does matter, and either I can fight that or I just have to accept that it is a part of my job, and I may as well wear things that I like and that represent me”, Rooney explains to Vogue.
For her editorial, after the jump, the ‘Side Effects’ star dons mesh pieces from Calvin Klein, Alexander Wang and Helmut Lang.
It has been an incredible year for Emma Stone, the ‘Gangster Squad‘ starlet scored two major Vogue covers and now she earns the top honour of gracing the cover of US Vogue’s 2012 Special Edition ‘Best-Dressed’ Issue.

Legendary actress Meryl Streep finally broke her 30-year curse on the night, by winning her 3rd Oscar for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in ‘The Iron Lady‘.

In true Oscar style, the red carpet did not disappoint, many stars dared to take risks. Head below to checkout if those risks worked in their favour or against:
‘The Help‘ princess Emma Stone channeled Nicole Kidman in a Giambattista Valli high-neck gown.
BEST-DRESSED: Gwyneth Paltrow looked flawless in a white Tom Ford dress, with a cape.
Glenn Close showed some cleavege in a Zac Posen strapless gown, but kept it age appropriate with a matching jacket.
Jessica Chastain took a huge risk in her black Alexander McQueen corset gown, with gold embroidery, and it worked in her favour.
With her hair up in a bun, ‘American Idol‘ judge Jennifer Lopez flaunted her curves in a Zuhair Murad dress, with all the right cuts in the right places.
Meryl Streep knew way before everyone that she was going to strike gold on the night, thus she opted for a gold Lanvin dress.
BEST-DRESSED: Pixie-haired Michelle Williams gave us the most fashion forward look in her retro-meet-modern burnt orange Louis Vuitton gown, with a peplum skirt.
BEST-DRESSED: ‘Resident Evil‘ actress Milla Jovovich brought all the right elements to the red carpet in her one-shoulder Elie Saab gown — elegance and drama. Love the old Hollywood glamour styling.
WORST-DRESSED: Penelope Cruz got it all wrong in her Armani off-the-shoulder frock. Too matronly.
Rooney Mara graduated from her favourite colour black, but still kept it minimalist in white Givenchy. ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo‘ starlet kept true to her signature styling of chic bangs and bold lips.
WORST-DRESSED: Shailene Woodley‘s white longsleeve Valentino dress aged the 20-year-old immesely.
Rocking her natural her, Viola Davis added a pop of colour on the red carpet in an emerald green Vera Wang corset gown.
