Rooney Mara was just announced as the new face of this cooler-than-cool brand

It's the perfect pairing

Rooney Mara is one of those actresses who always seems to make the right career choices. From The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the bestselling novel turned Hollywood blockbuster, to Carol, a beautiful tale about forbidden love, every film she's in is either a box-office smash or a well-loved indie flick. The woman has been nominated for two Oscars for goodness sake. Well guess what? She's made another great career-defining decision by signing up to be the face of Givenchy Parfum.

Already a friend of the brand, she's often seen working the red carpet sporting the brand's intricate designs, take for example last night at the 2018 Met Gala in New York. Romain Spitzer, Givenchy Parfums CEO, explains why she is the perfect fit for the brand: “Rooney is a captivating actress with a remarkable talent. Her committed and generous personality, elegant look and radiating intensity perfectly reflect the world of the new fragrance she will embody from Autumn 2018 onwards.”

She's in good company; in the past Liv Tyler, Alicia Keys and our previous cover star, Amanda Seyfried, have fronted campaigns for the brand's female fragrances.

Annoyingly, we'll have to wait until Autumn to see any pictures, but if this pair is anything to go by we know that we'll be hooked. If you can't wait that long, she'll be appearing as the title character, alongside Joaquin Phoenix, in Mary Magdalene, which is out now.
