Rachel McAdams in Lanvin at the ‘Morning Glory’ premiere: cute or tragic?

wenn3086321

In addition to the European MTV Awards, last night was also the big premiere of Morning Glory, the film everybody’s mom wants to see. Personally, I’ve already had to promise my mom that I’d take her to see it, and I doubt I’m the only one. It’s going to be epic – Harrison Ford as a curmudgeon, Canada’s Sweetheart Rachel McAdams, and Diane Keaton doing her silly best. Now, while I think the trailer looks good, I don’t really get how this film is being promoted. If I was in charge (if, if, if), I would be putting the emphasis on Rachel as the Everywoman, the next Julia Roberts/Reese Witherspoon type who can carry a rom-com on her own. I’d also add a dash of Oscar nomination “rumors” for Harrison, because he looks really interesting in this. What I would not do is encourage my leading lady, Rachel, to dress up like some kind of twitchy blonde bombshell. This premiere dress (Lanvin) and styling reeks of “trying too hard” and it makes me not like her. Plus, I just don’t care for her as a blonde.

Harrison looked like hell too. I know he’s Old and everything, but the hair and the earring… God, Harrison. Just slick back your hair and be the elder statesman that you are.

Diane looked cute though:

    I think she looks cute-but that blonde is the wrong shade-or maybe it’s just he style…

  2. scotchy says:

    i agree, the outfit is a wee bit tragic, it could have been better perhaps in a different colour. who knows.

  3. brin says:

    Cute!

  4. Eileen says:

    I love Rachel-she’s my girl crush! But I like her better as an auburn too. I think she’s trying to rock the edgy look but she’s too cute to pull it off.
    Dianne is so freaking adorable!

  5. Brooke says:

    I think McAdams looks adorable – the fit and cut and color of that frock are all flattering. The shoes aren’t my taste, but the ensemble isn’t skin-tight, a shocking color, overly embellished nor is she overexposed. Your try-hard comment makes no sense – she’s not tarted up nor trying to look ‘edgy’ and failing.

    Although I do agree that Harrison Ford looks less delightful with that hair and earring. A shame bc I’ve loved him forever 🙁

  6. Lisa says:

    I love Rachel McAdams. I think some of her fashion picks aren’t her best at times, but I love her anyway!

  7. girl says:

    Dress is meh, the blonde washes her out but I am kinda concerned about those shoes. They do not look good.

  8. serena says:

    Yeah I want her as a brunette!
    But the dress is ok I guess.

  9. Julie says:

    I agree that this is a bit too harsh on McAdams.

  10. Nina says:

    I wish Harrison would get rid of that earring.

  11. OtherChris says:

    Her hair is just too blonde. Harrison Ford needs to stop. Get rid of the earring. Diane = adorable.

  12. Patty says:

    Rachel looks like Chelsea Handler with her hair colored and styled like that. And that’s not . . . um . . . a compliment.

  13. bros says:

    I must have missed when Harrison joined a boyband circa 1999….

    and mcadams has made herself look mighty stumpy in those terrible shoes. dress looks like nicole miller, not lanvin.

    fail for everyone.

  14. lrm says:

    Yep. Rachel is always gorgeous-she’s a knockout no matter what. But thtat blonde is wrong on her, and the shoes are horrible…I love the dress and she looks good in it-different shoes would have helped-they are too heavy for that dress, too speak easy/swing dancing, and the dress is more evening cocktail wear.
    Yet still…she looks beautiful.

  15. carrie says:

    her hair is awfully too blonde and her dress is just totally forgettable

  16. Raven says:

    To me McAdams’ outfit is the antithesis of trying too hard. It looks like you’d just put it over your head, pull it on, pop on the shoes and the bracelets and go. It reminds me of the scene in Breakfast at Tiffany’s where Holly Golightly is quickly dressing to visit the prison. Very quick and she looked great when she was done.

  17. Kaiser says:

    bros – from what I could find out on style sites, the dress is Lanvin, but they could totally be wrong. It doesn’t look like Lanvin to me either. It looks like Gucci from five years ago.

  18. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    WOW! Diane is soo cute!

    I like Rachel as a brunette/auburn color. She looks washed out.

    Love Harrison but damn, he’s tryin too hard to look young.

  19. ams511 says:

    yeah…she needs to lose the blonde hair. it does nothing for her…

    now she just looks like that elizabeth banks girl-who by the way, IS another person. I seriously have argued that these 2 are 1 person.

  20. Tia C says:

    Kaiser, I am right there with you regarding her blonde hair. I don’t understand why she insists on being blonde when she is such a lovely brunette. I thought she was strikingly cute in “Wedding Crashers” with her dark hair. The blonde completely washes out her features.

    Having said that, I do like the dress. It’s kind of fun. She could’ve made a better shoe choice, but they’re not that bad. Diane Keaton’s dress is the tragic one. She looks like a black teletubby.

  21. Cruisin Through says:

    I like her better with darker hair as well, but she still looks very good. Some people just can’t look bad.

  22. danielle says:

    Cute! Harrison Ford’s hair is tragic.

  23. Marjalane says:

    A while back someone posted about Rachel McAdams having a new and tragic nose and at the time I didn’t see it, but I do in these pictures- that little ball on the tip is a dead giveaway. I wonder why she did it- her old nose wasn’t bad! I really like the hairstyle, it just needs a little more depth of color.

  24. MERCY says:

    She is beautiful. I don’t like the zipper in the back of the dress. The dress is not the best but she pulls it off and her body looks good in it.

  25. Megan says:

    ACK! those shoes! dreadful! they ruin the whole outfit!

  26. liz says:

    She looks great.

  27. truthSF says:

    Rachel is totally channeling Kelly Bundy circa 1989 with that hairstyle and outfit.

  28. Wicked SteppMom says:

    I’m just going to go in a whole different direction w/this & ignore the actors completely to say, Do you see the “talk about it!” logo on the wall behind them? Last night’s NYC premiere benefited the Epilepsy Foundation. November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month, but gets little-to-no press, so this is HUGE!!

  29. sauvage says:

    Cute! Nice cut.

  30. Stephy2585 says:

    Wow.
    Her hair is awful.
    It’s tousled-sexy for a 50something. She’s WAY too young for that cut and style.
    And yeah, she defs looks like she’s trying too hard…And failing at it.

    She is naturally spectacular and radiant. Makeup and bleachblonde playboy bunny hair do nothing to compliment her already gorgeous self.

  31. Alexa says:

    I think Rachel looks GORGEOUS, BEAUTIFUL, LOVELY! I love her hair, makeup, skin, dress color and shoes. The dress style is perfectly flattering on her . . . I’m just not a fan of strapless dresses – especially plain ones. They almost remind me of someone just exiting the shower wrapped in a towel. Ya know? They easily look too casual imo. Not Rachel’s fault, though. Plus – they’re EVERYWHERE!

  32. bananapanda says:

    She looks like Elizabeth Banks. Exactly.

  33. Jenna says:

    hair & make up looks GREAT, dress isn’t too flattering. nice color but a strange length. emphasizes her hips & thighs.

  34. Stubbylove says:

    Diane is fab, Harrison – please with the stupid hair – you’re so much better than that, Rachel is boring.

  35. LT says:

    @bananapanda – uhg, don’t say that! I can’t sttaaaaaaaaand Elizabeth Banks!

    I think Rachel looks cute. Keaton looks cute. Harrison looks so without a clue that it’s cute.

  36. Henriette says:

    Harrison looks RIDICULOUS! Diane, as always, looks great – quirky but attractive and appropriate. Rachel – meh. The dress doesn’t do anything for her and the hair is just silly.

  37. Lauren says:

    Awful dress–but I don’t care; I still love her. I don’t think she’s into fashion as much as all the others. BECAUSE she’s talented, and that’s much better if you ask me.

  38. Camille says:

    I think Rachel looks gorgeous (don’t like the dress though) and Diane does look great. Harrison needs to lose that stupid earring.

  39. Jeri says:

    I like Rachel. It looks like the stylists were trying for the “blonde bimbo” look which is too bad. It’s hard to make Rachel look really bad though. I like her with the light brown hair like in The Notebook.

  40. Anti-icon says:

    God Rachel is stunning. I think is some smart casting. I want to see Harrison looking good though (I bet he’ll make an excellent curmudgeon).

  41. jdao says:

    Cute – but her hair is washing her out.

  42. PennyLane says:

    Love it…except the shoes. Blech.

  43. wunderkindt says:

    Cute!

    not diggin the shoes though

  44. Trashaddict says:

    Being brunette is one of the things that makes Rachel stand out. There are so many Barbie-cut (literally) blondes in Hollywood, it makes me want to scream! It would be fun to put mugshots of them up and see if you could name them accurately.
    Stay brunette and smart, Rachel. I had made up my mind not to like you but you were way too good with Robert Downey. It wouldn’t have worked if you were a blond.

  45. Ruffian9 says:

    She’s gorgeous (and Canadian – yay!). Having said that, I will always prefer her as a brunette.

    Diane Keaton may be my idol.

  46. Jennifer says:

    Those shoes should hook up with Michael Lohan’s mesh tees.

  47. birdgherl says:

    The tragedy is that she is dating MY boyfriend, Michael Sheen. That said, this is not a disaster. Diane is beyond adorable. I might go gay for her.

  48. Newbie says:

    She looks pretty, imo. I would have picked a different color for that dress, but she’s still gorgeous. I’m rooting for this movie. It looks cute.

  49. shockedandappalled says:

    I think she looks amazing. I love her hair that color, and the color of the dress is very flattering too. Don’t love the shoes, but they aren’t the worst I’ve seen. Two thumbs up from me!!!

  50. KateNonymous says:

    Love the dress, hate the hair.
