Rachel Weisz in Dior at ‘The Bourne Legacy’ premiere: lovely or busted?

These are photos from last night’s NYC premiere of The Bourne Legacy. It comes out next week. Are you going to see it? I’m going to see it. As I’ve said before, I love the Bourne Trilogy and I love Jeremy Renner, so I have high hopes for this. And I think Rachel Weisz is an interesting love interest/action-partner for Jeremy too – surprisingly age appropriate and size-appropriate, right? I think Rachel is even one year older than Jeremy, and they’re both lovely and small. Pocket boyfriend and petite actress.

Anyway, Rachel wore a Christian Dior Fall 2012 Couture dress that I’m not crazy about. I actually thought this was Narciso Rodriguez on first glance, just because Rachel wears a lot of Narciso, and because he seems to design a lot of these minimalist, slim-cut looks. I’m surprised it’s Dior. It’s not a bad dress, really – it’s just slightly disappointing. Rachel is usually a bit bolder. Also: she looks really slim, right? She’s lost weight over the past year.

As for the boys… Jeremy Renner and Edward Norton were both in attendance. Norton plays the CIA “bad guy” I think – the dude who burns Blackbriar/all of the CIA operations that involve Jason Bourne and all of the other black-ops assassins. Some days… Norton really does it for me. I know he’s “difficult” and all. But I would still make out with him a little. As for Jeremy… I hate his habit of wearing dark suits with dark shirts and a light tie. He does that look all the time! And it’s awful. I kind of think he should forget the tie – imagine Jeremy in this suit with a black shirt and no tie… much sexier, right?

PS… I forgot about Rene Russo. She looks good! But I don’t care for her dress.

    The dress looks nice on her but the shoes got to go they look like a child’s crafts project.

  2. Eileen says:

    LOVE her, but not fan fan of this look. Maybe with different shoes and styling??

  3. Membia says:

    I was there last night!! Jeremy was soo sweet. And yes he’s around 5’9 tops I’m 5’7 and he was taller than me. No one knew who Rene Russo was, sad!! BTW Daniel Craig would it hurt to smile once in a while?

    • NYC_girl says:

      Rene Russo is so beautiful – esp in Thomas Crowne Affair. I LOVE Edward Norton. I would run away with him. At least for a few days.

      • Amelia says:

        Ditto on Edward Norton. I loved him in the Painted Veil.
        I think Daniel Craig just generally hates the limelight. I’ve always got the impression that he likes to act (he went to Guildhall), but he’s more of a ‘jobbing’ actor if you know what I mean.

    • Izzy says:

      LUCKY!!! How did you get to attend the premiere? Give the rest of us a few tips!

  4. cassius. says:

    she is a beautiful lady, but that dress makes her boobs look weird.

  5. sennet says:

    I’ve always thought Edward Norton made a great bad guy, but ever since The Painted Veil he’s been a huge, sentimental favorite of mine.

    • NYC_girl says:

      I love that movie so much. Never really liked him until I saw it years ago. Such a great film and very underrated.

    • dahlianoir says:

      the ending had me tears, it was such a beautiful movie !

      • The Original Denise says:

        Totally agree, that was a lovely movie! I do have a soft spot for Norton and he is aging well.

  6. Eve says:

    I wish Oscar Isaac was attending this premiere too.

    *sigh*

    As for Rachel Weisz, she looks great. I hate those shoes though.

    • normades says:

      Yes, soooo beautiful. Dress is fine but she should stand up straight and have worn higher heeled shoes.

      • Eileen says:

        I would have LOVED to see her wear a pop of color on her shoes like Turquoise or Red?
        Those shoes are horrendous!

      • Eve says:

        Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you soooooooooo much!

        I love you.

        On my god, that beard! And here I was thinking I hated beards…I want that. I want that rubbing against the back of my neck. I even want to have to spit a couple of hairs after kissing him!

        GAHHHH!!!

        *rushing to Gettyimages to see if I can find more pictures*

      • Eileen says:

        LOL damn Eve-your excitment got me excited and I wasn’t even sure what you were getting excited about until I saw the link! 😉

      • normades says:

        Who is this Oscar Isaac person?

      • Eve says:

        @ Eileen:

        I have it BAD for him.

        @ Normades:

        He’s my future husband, that’s who he is!

        Now, seriously, Oscar Isaac is a Guatemalan actor (moved to Florida when he was a kid). He’s been in movies like “Robin Hood” (as King John — priceless in the role), “Drive” (along with your Ryan Shovelchin Gosling), Madonna’s “W.E.” (movie is silly, but watchable — he’s super sexy as a Russian security guard) and “Sucker Punch” (a Zack Snyder movie — so you’ve been warned — but he’s great as the villain).

    I love the dress but hate the shoes.

    • anonymoose says:

      Yes! Rachel looks lovely as usual, but not those shoes.

      @CB: Please do not forget about Renee Russo again. Thank you!

  8. MJ says:

    Damn, Rene Russo looks amazing! I haven’t seen her in years. Whatever she’s doing, it’s working for her.

  9. Hmm says:

    Love Norton, Renner is nice also, but Norton is nice and seems to have brain to.

  10. Vivian says:

    Love everything but those horrific shoes! Oh very sad that ppl forgot Renee R, I liked her and she looks great too. All the guys look great; can’t wait to see this movie.

  11. Cathy says:

    I would like Rachels dress better if the hem line was knee length or a little above the knees. That length is ewww. As for Rene Russo, she looks good but I don’t like the dress either.

  12. Ming says:

    WOOOOOOOOOOOT !

    Reneeeeee, Rachel and Norton AntiVirus, my heart. So much goodness on one carpet.

    Can’t love more than three people at once, so whateverJeremy, seriously Rene, Rachel and Eddie.

  13. Jenna says:

    The dress is alright; hate those shoes though. Gosh, they’re fugly. Not crazy about the hair or make-up either.

  14. hoya_chick says:

    I cannot wait to go see this movie! It looks great, the cast is fantastic. I love Ed Norton (‘memba when he use to date Selma Hayak? seems like eons ago). I know others on here don’t like him but honestly him and Christian Bale are the too people I give a pass to.

    Rachel looks lovely, the shoes are a little weird and I don’t like the length of her dress but over all she looks nice. I like the cut of the dress and I love pockets oh and her boobs like great!

    Jeremy needs a new stylist but I give him a pass, he’s gorgeous and a great actor. Renee! Where have you been? She looks so great. Not all botoxy, this is how you get older in hollywood people. Even if she has had something done it’s subtle and she still looks like herself.

  15. T.C. says:

    Hate the bangs so much on Rachel. Bad makeup plus dress is crushing her teets. Rene Russo looks beautiful. Ed Norton looking hot again. Jeremy Renner please change up your styling.

  16. Lipsy says:

    I WOULD WATCH THIS FOR NORTON ALONE. Ahhhh… he’s getting even hotter with age. Rachel is beautiful!

  17. Madhubala says:

    I’m there opening day. The movie looks like it’s going to be great. Rachel is beautiful but I’m not feeling her shoes. I have a soft spot for Edward Norton, his performance in American History X is for me one of the greatest performances ever. As for Renner? LOVE. I hope this is a huge hit for him.

    • lucy says:

      Agree with you. Edward Norton is one of the best actors ever. In my list with Daniel Day Lewis and Javier Bardem. And he’s a great human being, he has created a great charity site called Crowdrise. I’m really full of admiration for this guy.

  18. Ravensdaughter says:

    Re Rachel: Beautiful woman transcends awful dress!

  19. Cameron says:

    Is it me? Rachel has very harsh manly features. She’s a handsome man.

  20. Cameron says:

    I meant to say handsome woman

  21. Mira says:

    Why no pics of Craig and Isaac? Craig looked like he hated to be there and I love it 🙂 I’ll see this movie for Norton. Feels like I haven’t seen him in a movie for a long long time.

  22. anniecc says:

    She’s beautiful, but I’m kind of sad that she lost so much weight. She had such beautiful curves and now she looks like every other starving Hollywood actress.

  23. JB says:

    First of all- Rachel Weisz never looks “budget.” She is perfect.
    And Rene Russo looks good?! I didn’t even recognize her. She’s the one who brought the budget.

  24. LittleDeadGirl says:

    Rachel Weisz is my girl crush right now so I love her but the dress is meh. It’s a little boring and it makes he boobs look almost a bit small when I’ve seen other pics where she looks like she has a fantastic rack. I think it’s too long as well and I’d atleast have done something else with the styling or the accessories. A bit snooze fest all around that being said I’m totally seeing the movie next week.

  25. dj says:

    I can’t wait for this movie too. I told my husband I would see that movie even if there was no dialogue. What a action geek I am. Renner is cast perfectly in this movie. Squeee! Renee R. is lovely. She played Thor’s mom and I was dissapointed she was barely onscreen. Rachel’s shoes have to go.
