Rooney Mara Golden Globes dress 2012 & a tally of hers awards season looks

Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci pre-fall 2012 at the Golden Globes on January 15, 2012

Alright so we’ve been seriously annoyed because our Truffle Hunters were really out to lunch on who has been styling Rooney Mara but we can now thank The Hollywood Reporter for breaking this very important news — according to a late breaking article last night — the stylist’s name is Ryan Hastings (who also does Mia Wasakowska, FYI) and PS — he does not do interviews. #amazing

The Mara’s are having a REALLY good year with lots of wins for Rooney’s granddad, uncle and all her other relatives who own football teams …

#TruffleNotes: Her paternal grandfather, Wellington Mara, was the long-time co-owner of the Giants, succeeded by her uncle, John Mara. Her maternal grandfather, Tim Rooney, has run Yonkers Raceway in Yonkers, New York since 1972.[8] Mara is the great-granddaughter of both Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney, Sr. and New York Giants founder Tim Mara.[9] Her great-uncle, Dan Rooney, is chairman of the Steelers, the United States Ambassador to Ireland, and the co-founder of The Ireland Funds charitable organization. — via Wikipedia

And she is basically set for life in every way imaginable with the Lisbeth Salander thing and all. We liken her to several other Hollywood starlets and soon-to-be-starlets with vast family ties and to rival their talent (next on our watch list is Léa Seydoux, the pretty little actress from Midnight in Paris (she plays the sales girl on the Quai) and Mission Impossible and upcoming Haywire — and oh yeh, she was also in Inglourious Basterds, and is the face of Prada’s new fragrance and their 2012 Resort line, and … wait for it … her grandfather is the chairman of Pathe which owns everything in France having to do with Cable, satellite and cinema).

We first met the Roon at the L.A. premiere of Tanner Hall (Francesca Gregorini and Tatiana von Furstenberg’s movie) in Los Feliz and thought it was interesting she was about to become the biggest thing on the planet — more so that her sister Kate we took notice of several years before … And of course we noticed she looked really good in clothes. So, we’ve been keeping tally of Rooney’s awards season looks and will continue to track and guestimate her next move for you here …
