While many fans wanted Rosamund Pike to portray the royal elf Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings film series, she was never offered the role.
The Academy-award nominated and Primetime Emmy-winning English actress has not starred in any of the epic fantasy adventure films based on the novel written by J. R. R. Tolkien.

According to “Anything You Can Imagine: Peter Jackson and the Making of Middle-earth,” the definitive history of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth saga by Ian Nathan that you can buy at Amazon, Cate Blanchett got the role as she was on the casting wishlist compiled by Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens.

Portraying Amy Elliott Dunne in the 2014 American psychological thriller film Gone Girl, in September 2014 the lovely Rosamund Pike jetted off to Rome for the photocall for the film directed by David Fincher.
The then 35-year-old English actress looked radiant as she posed for photographs with a beautiful garden backdrop at the Hotel de Russie.

Keeping her look simple and structured, Rosamund opted to wear a sophisticated shift dress in a gorgeous navy blue color.

The actress was four months pregnant with her second child, but her belly was well hidden by the loose-fitting frock. You could barely tell that she was pregnant!

To finish the structured ensemble, she covered up with a navy blazer and wore a pair of ankle-strap heels.
We absolutely love her fresh-faced makeup, and the sleek short hair was the perfect do for this modern chic look.
