Rooney Mara scores floaty white fashion coup

Rooney Mara scored a fashion coup at the Carol premiere in a diaphanous white gown that upstaged her more famous co-star Cate Blanchett.

Thirty-year-old Mara plays opposite Blanchett in the captivating lesbian drama and wowed crowds Sunday with her simple, yet elegant silk dress with delicate halter neck and white make up.

Blanchett looked typically ravishing, arm in arm with director Todd Haynes. But the 46-year-old star’s shoulderless bustier dress came over a tad busy with clashing blue prints and huge proportions in the train that ushers needed to help her with.
