Yesterday in Dubai, the reigning queen of black-and-white looks and severe buns graced the red carpet at the Oxfam Charity Gala in her signature style. Though her color choices weren’t surprising, Mara still stunned in a custom white Lanvin gown, complete with dramatic structural cloth petals on one shoulder, that outlined her sleek, hourglass figure. She swiped the darkest shade of berry onto her lips, making them look Goth black from certain angles, pulled her hair back into a tight bun, and then smized her heart out — because Ice Queen Rooney never cracks an actual smile.
