Rooney Mara is rocking her signature simplicity in a white gown for the 2012 Oscars.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo actress nails every single look on the red carpet, but she took a break from her traditional black look and jumped to the opposite side of the color spectrum in a darling white gown.

Rooney wore an angelic white Givenchy gown on the red carpet but kept all else simple with minimal accessories.

Rooney played the hair safe with a perfectly coiffed bang and low bun and she finished off the look with a classic red lip.
