Last night was the New York premiere of The Time-Traveler’s Wife. It seems like it was a half-decent red carpet, with several A-listers showing up. There was Brad Pitt, who produced the film, who looked like a reject from Saturday Night Fever. There was Ron Livingston, who is actually one of my favorite actors, and a cutie to boot - if you want to hear me wax on about the beauty of these Irish boys with pale skin and jet black hair, just go to the Seth MacFarlane post. Then there was always gorgeous Eric Bana, looking hot in a good suit. He was with his wife, Rebecca Gleeson, who seemed to be wearing some kind of tie-dyed toga? She’s really pretty, though. She looks too young to have a 10-year-old and a 7-year-old. And she gets to go home to Eric Bana, so I might have some nasty feelings about her.
The person most people will be talking about from this red carpet is none other than newly-single Little Miss Dimples Rachel McAdams. The reason Rachel will be poured over? Because she wore a really weird dress to the premiere. Now, I’m actually a fan of Rachel (don’t kill me) though I think she’s a little bland. I find her to be adorable, in spirit and in physical cuteness. She’s thirty years old - which is a good age for Hollywood. Her style could go either way - she could dress younger, and totally pull it off, or she could dress her age or older and be recognized as an adult actress for adult roles. Unfortunately, Rachel veered too far into the “dressing older” range. She looks like she pulled something out of Madonna’s cougar closet.
That being said, I do like the dress. It would be gorgeous on a darker, curvier, slightly older woman. Maybe on Eva Mendes, it could be amazing. But on Rachel? All I can see is her flat-as-a-board chest. It does nothing for her petite, athletic figure. And the color’s wrong too. The white just washes her out. Yuck. Someone get this girl a better stylist.

I’m 29 and not only do I love that dress, but I have one cut very similarly but in more of a cream. I think Kaiser nailed it by saying she’s not curvy enough; the rouching around the hips is supposed to draw attention to the figure, not just hang there looking like there’s too much material.
-
I think the dress is perfect for her. Keep in mind that she is in her 30’s. Its classy but not completely boring. Go Rachel!
-
Eric Bana’s wife is a hag! She looks ragged out as all h***. And what’s up with that hideous dress? She and I are probably the same age and she looks like she is hitting her 50’s. Let that be a lesson to us all to wear sunscreen. He is starting to look more and more like a Keebler elf. Thank God we have Jon Hamm to look at.
-
Yea…I’m 23 and I wouldn’t wear that dress…probably ever because I’m too damn slender for it. And it looks like it’s trying too hard.
-
That’s not a cougar dress. It’s a leftover from Dynasty. (Did I miss the memo on shoulder pads?)
She’s cute, but her hairstyle is too old/dated and her makeup too harsh in a “Pam Anderson circa 2005″ kind of way.
-
She is so smoking hot! But that dress doesn’t work without a chest to go with it.
I’m so glad she’s single now, I’ll call her for coffee (eyes rolling).
-
I like Rachel; sure she’s like a cute little dimply puppy–so what? I do like that dress, but I agree it would look better in a different color MINUS the shoulder pads [[Kelly, I obviously missed the memo, too!!]]. The hair is also wrong.
However, that being said, I hate to see women on here saying she’s too flat–chested to wear that or any dress; it’s REFRESHING to see a woman–any woman–with a chest made of natural ingredients, you know? Let’s don’t knock her for that, ok?
-
I really enjoy Rachel McAdams’ work, but that is a shiteous dress. There is nothing about it that works. Absolutely nothing. And it looks off the rack, too. The too-big wrong-color pumps aren’t helping matters any, either. Kaiser, you called it, she definitely needs to hire a stylist, or a better one!
-
The dress wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t as wide open. Plunging necklines tend to look far more elegant on less-bosomy women I find, but there does need to be a balance.
And I’m pretty sure Krystle Carrington will shove Rachel in a fountain to raiding her shoulder-pad drawer.
-
Eww, those white shoulder pads showing through look so tacky. Otherwise I think she looks great.
-
i think it’s the long sleeves. needs cap sleeves or something.
-
Hope the movie is as good as the book. Glad that Rachel was chosen for the heroine. Still not sure about Eric Bana.

“I’m pretty sure Krystle Carrington will shove Rachel in a fountain to raiding her shoulder-pad drawer. ”
@ mairead: krystle would kick her ass, LOL! funny that the fountain from dynasty (and the pool from melrose place) existed for the sole purpose of catfights! love it. don’t love rachel’s dress, though…very unflattering for her type. halle berry could rock it.
-
I think she looks beautiful!
-
I think that dress is hot! She looks awesome. If she had massive boobs it would look trampy and awful. ( Reminder: you chesty girls were complaining about this just a few weeks ago. )
Also, I really have to object to calling it a cougar dress… Rachel McAdams is still too young to be a cougar, and Madonna would never wear something that classy. And I hate the word cougar (in this context, the animal is very nice). A lot.
-
Shoulder pads..noooo. Please dont bring back miss shoulder pads. I ike her hair and makeup, it makes her mysterious. The dress is ok.
-
I love the make up and hair, but I wouldn’t put that dress on. However, I think she’s courageous
-
She looks good, but I don’t like that dress on her. I’m relatively flatter in the chest like she is, and I would feel so uncomfortable wearing it. But, if that’s what she likes, good for her. She’s adorable. Look at those eyes!
-
she’s so pretty… she doesn’t have to try so hard *eyeroll*
-
Love her-hate the dress…its like she just jumped into the Carrington’s home circa 1981 on Dynasty.
-
Two words: SHOULDER PADS!
run for the hills!She looks like Alexis Carrington’s daughter.
-
Just say no to shoulder pads! Her eyes look amazing. There I said something nice. I normally love her, but this is all wrong.
And I LOVE BURGER!!! I probably didn’t spell his last name right from SATC.
-
i think she looks fantastic!
-
If her breasts were not smaller like they are, she’d look like a desperate woman trying to get people to stare at her chest.
I have “curves” which is to say that I have proportionally huge boobs, a small waist and shoulders, and larger hips.
I would fill out a dress like that “better” than Rachel, but I would look like a two-dollar whore in it.
I think she looks nice, and I am always jealous of the ladies with small or middle cup sizes that can wear those elegant plunging necklines. It shows off the collarbone and chest in such a feminine way. Alas…all you see when I put on something with a deep neckline is boobs bursting out.
-
I think Rachel McAdams is an underrated actress who should get more work. And yes, she is as cute as hell, to boot. About the dress, I couldn’t care less what her stylist chose to put her in that night. It’s inconsequential.
-
It helps if you can fill out the dress. Who wants to look at a rib cage?

“I can’t help but say that appears that you have got the dead on target essence of the position at hand. While others look to have missed the essential detail of it all, what was expressed prefatorial is complete and on the money. I am avoiding pronouncing that I harmonize along every one of the points; still, I admit that you did minded me cause to take some time to think numerous of the premises that I recalled that I withstood as strong beliefs in that attentivenesses. Strongly expressed, and it is now time for myself to think a some more connected to some of your outstanding ideas. All At Once I have to think that you have clearly stated what needed to be said.”

Looks like she’s wearing it backwards…or maybe she should have worn it backwards!
