That's just too much, though. I think if you are Lady Mary and you are about to present your demon vagina to a suitor in your boudoir, and hope that he lives to return there another day, you could spruce up in this and present quite well. Not in love with it on a red carpet, though.
Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara
"Look, Roo, were both in ruffles! How droll!" "Oh, yeah, it's... great. It's just great. Having to stand next to you in photos is so... special."
Rooney Mara, Todd Haynes, and Cate Blanchett
"Todd, it's going to be okay, right? People will be looking at her and they won't even notice my dress and so they won't compare it, right? Should I just go home, Todd? Todd, are you hearing me? Todd?"

This is VERY pretty, though, and compared with the Givenchy HELLSCAPE that Cate herself wore to this event, I think Rooney won that battle for sure.
