Anne shares with the magazine on how much she loves her short hairdo.

“I love the short-haired lifestyle. It’s awesome that I was able to go for a hike right before I came here to meet you, quickly wash my hair, and now it’s dry… But I’m turning 30, and — I hope this isn’t obnoxious to say — I feel prettier, and much more myself. I guess I just feel much more satisfied with less now”, Anne explains to Vogue.

As award season sadly drew to an end, all roads led to the Kodak Theatre in California for the 84th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday (26 February). 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‘. But it was silent film ‘The Artist‘ which made history by becoming only the first silent film to win ‘Best Picture’, since the ‘Wings’ did so during the awards’ inception 83 years ago. ‘The Artist’ also won Michel Hazanavicius ‘Best Director’ and French heartthrob Jean Dujardin ‘Best Actor.

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:

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.

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.

Rooney Mara Gets Soft For Allure

We are so used to seeing girl-of-the-moment Rooney Mara styled in an edgy manner, so much so that one has to do a double take to ensure that it’s really her on the cover of the January issue of Allure.

‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo‘ star graces the magazine’s year opener edition, refreshingly styled in a very soft and elegant way. Photographed by Michael Thompson, the 26-year-old actress looks like Demi Moore with slicked-back hair.

Rooney sheds some light on why director David Fincher went with an unknown person for the role of Lisbeth Salander.

“I don’t think David’s intention was ever to hire someone well-known. To make this movie, he needed someone that people were unfamiliar with because it’s the only way they would really believe this character. She’s such a mystery. You couldn’t hire someone that people already have a relationship with”, Rooney explains to Allure.

Checkout her romantic editorial, shot at a beach, below:

responsibility dating me. Because I come with a little bit of baggage, you know? I’m completely open. I’m honest about the journey I’ve been on, so I definitely don’t take dating lightly anymore. And they have to make me laugh!”, Demi explains to Glamour.

Head below to see for yourself.

Here are some highlights from ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ actress’ accompanying cover story:

ON THE DRAMATIC CHANGE IN LOOK SHE WENT THROUGH IN PREPARING FOR HER ROLE: “Before, I dressed much girlier. A lot of blush-colored things. Now I literally roll out of bed and put on whatever is there. I have really enjoyed being a boy this last year”.

ON HER VERSION OF LISABETH SALANDER ALWAYS COMPARED TO NOOMI RAPACE’S SWEDISH PORTRAYAL: “One of the things that make our version that much more heartbreaking is that even though I am playing a 24-year-old, I look much younger. I look like a child”.

ON THE PUBLIC’S RESPONSE TO HER GOING TOPLESS FOR THE MOVIE POSTER: “There’s a certain way people are used to seeing nude women, and that’s in a submissive, coy pose, not looking at the camera. And in this poster, I’m looking dead into the camera with no expression on my face. I think it freaks a lot of people out”.

The 26-year-old looks flawless in an Alexander Wang knit top. How gorgeous are those cheek bones?

A barefooted Rooney looks stunning in a Calvin Klein silver-framed halter dress.
