Mara's three-bun hairdo perfectly mimicked Rey's galaxy warrior look from Star Wars: The Force Awakens

While the knotted updo was functional for fighting off the dark side, it also looked beautifully elegant on the red carpet.

Perhaps it's the power she needs to snag the award for best supporting actress for her work in Carol.
