Why it matters
This highlights current trends in high-fashion red carpet styling and the influence of major luxury houses.
Following the photocall earlier in the day, Rooney Mara returned for the Venice Film Festival premiere of Bucking Fastard , where, as predicted, the actress wore black.
Only half of my prediction came true, however, as I also expected her to wear Givenchy. Instead, Rooney wore a Louis Vuitton black satin slip dress featuring a fitted, panelled bodice before erupting into a voluminous, densely ruched hem.
I love how Nicolas Ghesquière took the humble black slip dress and transformed the lower half into this extraordinary mass of gathered fabric. The contrast is what makes the dress: simple and familiar through the body, then completely unexpected from the knees down.
