Cool Girl: Noomi Rapace

Not that I don't love my American movies, but why is it that we can't seem to do a GOOD movie adaptation from a book? (Except for a select few, like A Single Man.) It just seems like the foreign filmmakers do it best. Today, I saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I love the Stieg Larsson books (there are 2 out with a third on the way) and was really happy with the movie. The best part? The amaaazing Swedish actress Noomi Rapace. I don't use the word fierce often but seriously, this girl is fierce. Her resume includes some seriously edgy films. (FYI: if you do a google image search-her resume also includes a ton of nudity.) She is so awesome as the title character, Lisbeth Salander, that she makes you feel all her emotions as if they were your own, which is a little rough in the graphic rape scenes. In real life, Noomi seems so cool, the girl who wears black when you're wearing pink. Can't wait to see more of her here in the States.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Super sexy and menswear inspired.

LOVE this dress. How different for the red carpet?

So cool. Even her husband is hot.
