Rooney Mara has been channeling her Girl With a Dragon Tattoo character, Lisbeth Salander, on the red carpet lately.

Not my favorite look for the actress, but hey.

It's a money maker.

At a recent awards show, though, she was looking fabulous in an eyecatching emerald green dress.

It's a hot color among celebs lately, and I for one am loving it.

Emerald green is a flattering color on just about anyone, and it's definitely going to get you noticed.

Check out some affordable emerald green frocks after the jump -- then tell me this in the comments:

Would you wear an emerald green dress?

I have been stalking this particular green dress (Ann Taylor, $98) for WEEKS now, trying to catch it in stock on a 40% off day (or heck, even a 30% off day). So far, I've had no luck. CURSES!

I suppose I could opt instead for this Ali Ro Drape-front Dress (eBay, $98). Love it.

And this One-Shoulder Dress (Victoria's Secret, $79.50) would be hot for a date night ...

This Foley + Corinna dress (The Outnet, $128 on sale) is a little more refined.

Finally, this Tahari ASL dress (Bluefly, $50.99) is a great price and perfect for work!

Which one would you wear?

(I'd wear ALL OF THEM!)
