41	----
42	!!Tropes in her works:
43
44	* AltoVillainess: Despite playing mostly heroines, she is very capable of adjusting her cadence to a menacing lower register.
45	* FakeAmerican: ''{{Film/Doom}}'', ''Film/GoneGirl'', ''Film/JackReacher'' and a few others.
46	* MagnumOpusDissonance: Her favourite role is actually playing Jane Bennet in ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice2005''.
47	%%* MsFanservice: Some of her roles qualify.
48	* TheOtherDarrin: She replaces Creator/AlexaDavalos as Andromeda for ''Film/WrathOfTheTitans''.
49	* PlayingAgainstType: As a ditzy slacker in ''Film/AnEducation''.
50	* PlayingWithCharacterType: Rosamund often plays capable or sensible women - and is almost always heroic. In ''Film/GoneGirl'' and Return to Sender this makes the twist that the capable and sensible woman she’s playing is also [[spoiler: a manipulative psychopath]] all the more shocking.
51	* PromotedFanboy: She's a fan of Creator/JohnnyDepp and got to work with him on ''Film/{{The Libertine\|2004}}''.
52	* RealitySubtext: She and Simon Woods had dated (before Simon came out as gay), lending a lot of realism to Jane and Bingley's relationship in ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice2005''.
53	* RomanceOnTheSet: With Joe Wright, who directed her in ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice2005''. They were engaged for a while, and the wedding was called off at the last minute.
54	* SoMyKidsCanWatch: She took roles in ''WesternAnimation/ThunderbirdsAreGo'' (as Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward), ''[[Literature/TheMoomins Moominvalley]]'' (as Moominmamma) and ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' (as Duchess in the episode "Thomas and The Royal Engine") for her two sons.
55	* StatuesqueStunner: Qualifies at 5'9".
56	* ThoseTwoActors: She appears alongside Creator/CareyMulligan in ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice2005'', ''Film/AnEducation'', and ''Film/{{Saltburn}}''.
57	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
58	** She was one of the top contenders to play Lois Lane in ''Film/ManOfSteel''. But she chose to do ''Wrath of the Titans'', which meant that she wouldn't be available. Creator/AmyAdams ended up cast instead.
59	** She was offered the part of Rita Skeeter in ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire''. She didn’t want the trouble of a multi-film contract with the offered paycheck (ironically, Rita would only appear in ''Goblet'' aside from a quick image cameo in ''Deathly Hallows Part 1'') so she turned it down. It went to Creator/MirandaRichardson.
