TIME TRAVELING IN STYLE

Posted Aug 16 2009 @ 05:13 PM

Out promoting her new movie The Time Traveler's Wife on the eve of its release last week, Rachel McAdams looked stunning in New York City in two daring looks on August 12 and 13. At the premiere held at the Zigfeld Theatre, Rachel worked the red carpet in a white Emilio Pucci dress with a plunging wrap neckline (try Raw 7's Embroidered Loop Hole Dress in Pure White before summer ends or if you like the draped look check out Interlud's Band Picket Dress in Coral Red). I don't usually like the 80's shoulder pad look but this frock is stunning on her! The hair and make-up also add a sexy, mussed up look that is in perfect contrast to her usual polished look – for example, the way she styled her hair and makeup the following night for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. For her tv appearance, Rachel looked sophisticated cool in a plum 3.1 Phillip Lim frock with a split keyhole neckline and a flirty mermaid ruffle down the front (try Black Halo's Bustier Detail Pleated Mini Dress in Geranium in the same shade). Again keeping her accessories simple, Rach wore her hair up to show off sparkly teardrop earrings (Kuo Ting's Amethyst and Purple Coral Earrings in Gold would be stunning with a dress in the same shade) and wore the same classy Christian Louboutin "Pigalle" pumps both nights. Maybe she forgot to pack her shoes? I like the classic pointy-toe with the second look but with the white she could have pulled off something more exciting, don't you think? Although Rachel was a little nervous about how the adaptation of one of her fav books would pan out, the movie had a great opening weekend, grossing over $18 million. Brad Pitt is one of the producers, so it can't be all that bad, right? It is getting a pretty horrible rating on RottenTomatoes.com though – only 36% fresh! Would any of you disagree?
