Rachel McAdams barely-there Suno dress in London: tacky or cute?

morning_glory_prem_3_wenn3162331

These are photos from the London premiere of Morning Glory. A few days ago we had photos from the Berlin premiere – Rachel McAdams went high-glamour in a bright red Michael Kors, accessorizing with funky hair. While I think Rachel’s overall look at this London premiere was a lot better, I can’t help thinking that this is all wrong for a January premiere in London. The dress is an adorable little Suno (a label I’ve never heard of), accessorized with simple makeup and easy-breezy hair – gorgeous for an LA premiere in May. Wrong for London in January. And that’s not my only quibble. Look how much skin she’s showing! Yes, she’s a petite little thing, so the daring neckline doesn’t look trashy or tacky, like it would on someone more voluptuous. But still – eh. She doesn’t need to walk that line. Is anyone else getting the feeling that Rachel needs a new stylist?

Other photos… Harrison Ford was there for the premiere too. He looked really handsome, I thought. I like the teal scarf. It looks nice on him.

Does anyone like Patrick Wilson? I think he’s a good actor, but he just seems so… I don’t know. “Pillow weeper” comes to mind. He’s all of the equipment: handsome, talented, nice smile, nice body. And yet the entire package feels less than the sum of its parts.

    She looks cute to me. I’m not a big fan of the dress but she manages to wear it right. On someone else it would look trashy but on her it works. Isn’t she freezing?

  2. Rita says:

    I thought purple shoes were outlawed in London in 1984?

  3. sisi says:

    in the close up her hair looks really awful, like she just came out of an austin powers movie. Too bad, because I do like the dress. The styling could indeed be better.

  4. tracking says:

    She’s adorable and can pull off just about anything, but I’m not generally a fan of the cut-down-to-there look (see Time Traveler’s Wife premiere as well). Maybe she’s trying to offset her natural cuteness and youth with some sexy, but it feels a little off to me.

  5. happygirl says:

    **snickering @ Rita*** Haha!

    Yeah…LOVE her…but maybe the dress looked better in person? Here’s to hoping…

  6. Dorothy#1 says:

    I think she looks pretty.

    I LOVE Patrick Wilson!!!! He was great in the Phantom of the Opera!

  7. Vi says:

    it’s a cute dress but i agree it’s all wrong for january and i think it’s a bit too young. it’s something i’d expect to see on emma watson or someone of that age.

  8. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    Rachel looks like a drunken man in the first pic. Really not cute pose there or posture. I like the dress, don’t think its right for this event as its a sun dress not a red carpet or cocktail dress. Its so cold in London to, what was she smoking that she thought this was a good idea?

    Love Patrick Wilson. He was great in Little Children, Lakeview Terrence, and Hard Candy.

  9. louise says:

    The cut is tacky but overall a pretty dress. Fortunately she has no cleavage or she would have looked slutty.

  10. Chismes says:

    OMG, those shoes! Besides looking awful, they look painful.

    She’s beautiful, but that dress looks like a Project Runway challenge gone wrong.

  11. Richi says:

    She looks painfully skinny!!!

  12. Bubbling says:

    I hate the dress, hate I say. Can’t quite put finger on it but granny love, old design, 2000 comes to my mind

  13. Marjalane says:

    Other than just the always very pretty face, I think this whole thing is ghastly. Just ghastly. For someone who has really good hair, this “do” is a tragedy. I can’t think of what her name is, but she looks like the chick on 30 Rock that’s having a baby with Alec Baldwin.

  14. Kato Valentine says:

    Bad shoes, summer dress, it is frickin freezing in the UK just now and please Harrison – get shot of the earring, loving your suit though 🙂

  15. beth says:

    this girl can wear a marilyn manson around her and still look hottt.

  16. lucy2 says:

    In the summer this might be better, but right now it looks silly. I like her a lot, but rarely like her red carpet fashions.

  17. Oi says:

    The hair is bad. She shouldn’t layer the top like that. the dress needs to me in say, my closet this summer.

  18. Trace says:

    I think she looks cute. Patrick Wilson is a good character actor. I noticed him in Watchmen. I think he gets steady work according to IMDB, but yeah, he’s handsome, but he’s not jump-out-at-you hot.

  19. brin says:

    Sheesh…she goes from classville to sluttown in a flash.

  20. guesty says:

    tacky. because it’s out of season.

  21. mln76 says:

    I love Patrick Wilson I actually find him hot eventhough he isn’t my type AT ALL. I loved him in Little Children.

  22. Twez says:

    Harrison is redefining “craggy”. It’s working for me, though.

  23. Tiffany says:

    Tacky and out of season for sure. Am living in London now and when I attended the premiere for my hubby’s Cirque show at the Royal Albert Hall there were “celebrities”(never heard of these English celebs before) and the girls in the tiny cocktail dresses looked cold and out of place.
    It’s freezing here and most of all there are such amazing examples of shoe and coat porn, I couldn’t just wear a freezing floral or yellow mini.
    It looks stupid when everyone else is covered in winter gear.

  24. azurea says:

    That’s not a dress…it’s an apron.

  25. Wresa says:

    Am I the only one disturbed by the yellow eye makeup? It makes her look sickly!

  26. Arianna says:

    pillow weeper ahahahahahah so totally accurate!

    at times i wish i was flat enough to wear things like this, but then i remember i’m a woman.
    and shit this is coming from somebody who’s a workout-aholic

  27. Isa says:

    Looks like a house wife from the 1950s, who cut out her dress in a tantrum.

  28. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    I have a girl crush on her so, I think she looks great.

    But she could lose the gold colored eye shadow.. that gives me the creeps.

  29. Reality says:

    It’s actually unseasonably mild right now in England. I haven’t had to wear a coat (just a blazer) for the last few days.

    Anyway, I love the dress and her hair, hate the shoes, and at a premier she can suffer the cold for a few minutes.

  30. Lee says:

    Is the yellow eye-makeup a new “it” thing, and I’m out of touch? Cause that to me is even more disturbing than a summer dress in the winter…

  31. kai says:

    I like Patrick Wilson! Agree that he’s kind of bland in pictures, but there’s something about him in films. He could be good in a Patrick Bateman role.

  32. LeeLee says:

    I agree with wrong season. I think she’s adorable though and if it was Spring, the outfit wouldn’t be questioned.
    I’m editing it to say the dress wouldn’t be questioned but the shoes still would.

  33. insidescoop says:

    One London is freezing now, so it is insane to wear a spring dress in the middle of January. Two, why such a revealing top and granny-like knee brushing bottom? If you are going to get provocative, then get provocative and hike that hemline up girlfriend! That way if you are freezing your ass off at least you look hot while you are doing it.

  34. insidescoop says:

    @ Tiffany hear hear!

  35. baby says:

    i love rachel mcadams and the dress is very cute but i think in general she looks awful here. she’s too pale for the dress, and her hair and makeup are terrible.

  36. Emma says:

    She looks high. You know, I never thought about it before, but I bet she’s a stoner. She’s got a cute lil stonerish look to her. I love it.

  37. leuce7 says:

    Jumping in on the Patrick Wilson love. There’s just something about him, I think because he *is* so unassuming, that when he falls into your radar (Little Children, Watchmen, for example), RAWR!

  38. Scarlet Vixen says:

    I don’t think the 80s little girl Laura Ashley print matches the sexy cut of the dress. But she does have the chest to pull it off…

  39. sapphire says:

    @rita-at the same time they dissolved the House of Lords.

    Ok, in order: wrong jewelry, make-up definitely off, wrong season for dress and was her hair stylist high? Actually it looks like her look was put together for a different dress and at the last minute she dragged the dress and shoes out of the bottom of the suit case.

  40. Anti-icon says:

    I’m not even a dude and she looks the sexiest I’ve ever seen her!!!!!! She’s single, she’s talented, she’s gorgeous. She’s working it. I approve.

  41. Laura says:

    It would look so great and much more weather appropriate if it was a floor length dress instead of knee length

  42. malachais says:

    i think she looks beautiful and her hair looks amazing…but I agree the styling was more for a summer premiere. Its like 50 degrees in London, jeez.

  43. serena says:

    UGH. Horrible dress. Horrible hair. Total mess.

    Harrison Ford is very hot.. wtf.

  44. Lila says:

    I loved Patrick Wilson in Phantom of the Opera. He played the sweet, protective role to a t. And he actually rocked long hair pretty well.

  45. Dizzybenny says:

    iiiiiiiiiisssssssshhhhhhhhhh!!!

  46. ugh says:

    It’s funny that a few years ago she opted out of the Vanity Fair strategically posed ‘nekkid’ cover with Scarjo and Keira and Tom Ford, yet THIS monstrosity showing her teats is okay? Oh well, guess it worked, because normally Rachel would get like 3 comments, she’s got almost 60.

  47. original kate says:

    she looks cold.

  48. I Choose Me says:

    just here to echo the Patrick Wilson love. He was great in Hard Candy & Lake View Terrace. I hated Watchmen overall so I can’t speak to his performance in that.

    Why does everyone rag on Harrison for his earring? It’s barely noticeable imo and he’s had it for a while so I’m guessing he ain’t getting rid of it any time soon.

  49. lrm says:

    her chest is too flat for that dress style(IMO a common problem among starlets-it’s okay to be flatter chested, just wear the right look to accentuate your physique…Kate Hudson always did that too-and it looked awful-you are just drawn to this breastbone area and nothing to look at. it’s weird.)

    However, Rachel is beautiful and IMO can carry off just about anything…..she looks fine, just not great.

  50. Camille says:

    Yeah she does need a new stylist, but Rachel is adorable, love her.

  51. Ari says:

    Patrick Wilson is just creepy to me. Ever since I saw him in Hard Candy I can never look at him the same in…anything. He should just play a serial killer in every movie he is in and call it a day.

  52. TrixC says:

    Yes I agree with lrm, you need some boobage to carry this look off. Not too much, but enough not to look like a little girl playing dress up.

  53. DD says:

    I like her and all but she just looks wrong in these pictures.

  54. Crash2GO2 says:

    Oooh it looks like she got sunburned in the tanning bed. And that yellow eyeshadow. Gads.

  55. kelly says:

    She’s got the itty bitties for it- why not? Way too vanilla for my taste, but it suits her.

    Wish I could go all braless and not instigate the Ragnarok!

  56. Katie says:

    I agree it doesn’t seem like a winter dress at all but I think she looks great from head to toe. I generally find her to be fantastic though. Ford does look cute.

    Pillow weeper is the best thing I’ve heard all day.

  57. dahlia47 says:

    Nah, I don’t like it. Maybe if it was in a solid color. Her shape just gets lost in this dress.

  58. Matt says:

    Love Angelina:

    “Rachel looks like a drunken man in the first pic.”

    OMG YES. Which is strange because she is beautiful. The dress is fug, the shoes don’t work with the fug dress either. That is all.

  59. mia says:

    Who queer eyed Harrison Ford?

  60. Isa says:

    Yellow eyeshadow is most often not a good idea.

    I like the dress. The shoes look a little too pointy. But this entire look is not right for January in London! What is up with people these days?

  61. Lyla says:

    I adore her but in the first pic and really all of them, she looks like a crack head. Not that I’m saying she is, just an unfortunate choice in makeup, but eww. She’s one of those girls who is sooo pretty that you wouldn’t think any makeup or dress could not make them look bad. Somehow, she found that perfect makeup/dress combo that actually does make her look a bit trashy. The hair makes me think of the 80’s for some reason. Not a good decade for hair by the way.

  62. Mrs. Harrison Ford says:

    My Harrison looks delish!

  63. Phoenix says:

    I like the dress but she must be incredibly cold. Oh well. And yes, Harrison Ford is looking pretty hot.

  64. Liana says:

    Rachel McAdams is one of those actesses I irrationally do not like (as in the Gawker article referenced in another post). I don’t know why. She’s cute and she seems perfectly nice, but I see that she’s in a film and I’m like “oh no, not HER again.”

  65. Abby says:

    RAOUL!! Patrick Wilson was way hot in Phantom of the Opera. Also in that random movie The Alamo as WIlliam Travis. yum.

    On another note, I lovelovelove Rachel McAdams but how is she not freezing in this outfit? Cute shoes though.
