The Kate Mara Look Book

Style may run in the Mara family, but don’t lump in Kate with her sister, Rooney. The Fantastic Four star has a unique look of her own, which long predates her edgy haircut. Remember, she wore a woven ruffled Hervé Leger dress to the Screen Actors Guild Awards way before chopping off all her locks in 2011. When your BFF is celebrity stylist Johnny Wujek (known for putting a cupcake bra on Katy Perry), why shy away from a planet-printed mesh dress? Off duty, the actress stays away from the frumpy military jackets we got used to seeing her in as a reporter on House of Card, opting for chic oversize blazers instead. See all her best outfits, from a Dolce & Gabanna jewel-encrusted cocktail dress to pastel Dior, in our slideshow ahead.
