As a huge fan of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' franchise, I was a little hesitant about the American remake -- that is, until I saw the Rooney Mara W Magazine cover shoot. This sizzling actress appears edgy and sexy in the spread, yet still manages to maintain a hint of femininity that is totally sultry and subtle.
Channeling the trilogy's unlikely hero Lisbeth Salander, the Rooney Mara W Magazine cover shoot will be part of the February 2011 issue. It was photographed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino and styled by Trish Summerville.
