Rooney Mara starred as Una Spencer (age 28) alongside Ben Mendelsohn in Benedict Andrews’ Una, which had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on September 2, 2016.

Rooney Mara’s commitment to her role as Lisbeth Salander in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” was evident in her numerous physical changes, including piercings.

One of these piercings was a nipple ring, a modification she got specifically for that character. In the film “Una,” a shower scene showcases this particular piercing, which is, in fact, Rooney Mara’s own and not a prop or special effect.

Rooney Mara stayed true to her signature vampy style as she attended the premiere of her new movie “Una,” held during the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.

The 31-year-old actress was her usual edgy self in a Louis Vuitton Fall 2016 black dress.

The mixed-media dress featured a deep v-neckline and a layered chiffon skirt that perfectly showcased her décolletage and highlighted her alabaster complexion.

The “Carol” star skipped the jewelry, allowing her dress and slender frame to take center stage.

Rooney added a few inches to her height with the Brian Atwood “Aida” sandals. They have cutout details, adjustable ankle straps, peep toes, about 1.5-inch double platforms, and five-inch heels.

These Brian Atwood sandals debuted in the Spring 2013 Collection and are no longer available.
