Yet Another Reason to Watch the Super Bowl: Rooney Mara

If you need further convincing that Super Bowl Sunday will a joyous, highly entertaining event (Madonna, Nicki Minaj, and M.I.A.David Beckham's butt!), consider this: There's an overwhelming chance that Rooney "Editor's Dream" Mara will be at the game (Mara's father works for the Giants, as did her grandfather and great-grandfather). WWD took the liberty of asking designers what she should wear for the occasion: Chloé's Clare Waight Keller envisioned a chunky turtleneck, while Balmain's Olivier Rousteing hopes for "a sexy jumpsuit with a rock ’n’ roll edge." So, consider yourselves officially convinced — Anna Wintour's 60 Minutes special stands no chance.
