Look of the Week: Kate Mara

Sometimes you don't need anything else but some leather and a great pair of shoes. As long as the leather covers your bits.

Kate Mara is one of those petite beauties who'd look good in a sack (she's also one of the few who can successfully pull off a pixie cut) and she did indeed end up in sack territory with this leather shift. But - it's a leather shift so it works.

The whole look is so very simple - if you didn't know better you would think that she just threw it on before heading out to the premiere (for new flick Fantastic Four) - and indeed it is a piece that you can wear over and over again with different shoes and accessories.

What makes Kate's ensemble our look of the week is its simplicity. Everyone needs a pair of strappy black heels in their shoe collection - they are elegant but at the same time can totally funk up a look. Kate doesn't even bother with accessories  - where's her bag?! - and she doesn't need to. The earrings, visible because of her hair cut, and ring (which you can see in the rare pictures where her hands are out of her pockets) are enough.

We love her chic makeup too; it's all about paring it back this coming season.

What do you think? Would you wear something like this? Or would you can given the Best Dressed crown to someone else this week?
