She completely transformed herself for the role in The Girl with the Dragon tattoo cutting off and dyeing her hair, plus getting a few piercings, but that hasn’t stopped the talented actress at rocking this dramatic new look. Her dark hair, pale skin and bright green eyes totally work in her favour allowing her to be a little quirky but elegant when it comes to fashion. Rooney always seems to look so flawless, evoking a slight old Hollywood glamour edge. A definite style crush, her look is truly fascinating and us fashionistas can’t get enough!
The stunning actress keeps her accessories simple allowing her choice of garments to be the statement piece. Her dress choices for red carpet appearances are extremely chic featuring beautiful detailing such as sheer material which compliments her look perfectly. She normally sticks to black, white and nude shades allowing her classic beauty to shine through. Plain, yet elegant styles are her strong point too and Rooney was also recently snapped in a gorgeous tailored ensemble. She teamed a structured black and brown patchwork jacket with black shorts, opaque tights and pumps. I want her wardrobe!

I am a huge fan of Nicole Richie’s designer fashion label Winter Kate which consists of contemporary ready-to-wear pieces that has all us fashionistas swooning over! The collection is packed full of gorgeous statement dresses, kimonos and jackets that reflect Nicole’s personal style so why not add a few of these pieces to your wardrobe to give it a winter update?!
Keeping up with this season’s latest trends, velvets and flowing silhouettes are featured in the recent collection adorned with intricate embroidery and stand-out detailing such as fringing. The stunning deep shades are perfect for Christmas and New Year, which will add a luxurious flare to outfits. There is a definite bohemian style of the ‘60s and ‘70s that can be seen throughout the velvet designs too allowing the pieces to stay true to the brand’s overall signature feminine vibe.
Be on trend for this winter and invest in a circle cut style dress which is ultra flattering. Most designs will suit all shapes and sizes and they are perfect pieces which can be easily dressed up or down for day or night. High street stores are full of these must-have dresses and celebrities who have been seen sporting them include Kelly Rowland, Jaime King and Jamelia.
The rounded hemline adds volume and a sassy edge to the dresses whilst the nipped in waist cinches you in giving you a sexy silhouette and a lovely shape. Long sleeved, one shade styles are sophisticated yet still remain chic and adding a belt to the look will help you to achieve an hour glass shape. Contrasting panels will also help to enhance your waist and will provide a statement twist to your look which I love!
If you’re after a dress that will give you a neater silhouette then opt for one which is more structured and fitted with a zip-up back. For comfort choose a stretchy style. Add a cardigan to sleeveless designs if you’re worried about showing off your arms or maybe wear a retro blouse underneath.
The variations of styles and colours are endless and will be your go-to dress for the season!
