Rating Rachel McAdams: we judge the star’s fashion choices as she walks the red carpets for Morning Glory
One of the things we love about Rachel McAdams is her adventurous fashion sense. It’s easy to look good when the risk is minimal, so in the endless sea of LBDs, our girl almost always stands out—even if it’s not always for the right reasons (ahem). Recently, McAdams has been earning frequent flyer miles in service of her movie Morning Glory, gracing red carpets in New York and all over Europe. Here, we rate her efforts, which—phew!—seem to get better as time goes by.

- Another five-star fashion effort. Here, we return to the matter of personal preference. Besides being beautiful, this is our kind of dress: flirty, classy and slightly modish. It looks like something Twiggy would have worn back in the day. This, to us, is the ultimate seal of sartorial approval.

- At last—a fashionable hole in one! The olive colour is perfect, the leather fabric is flirty, and the fit is beyond reproach. All in all, one of the most flattering frock-actor combinations since Hilary Swank went backless. Love the shoes (no one does strappy like Michael Kors), love the hair, love the lipstick. And best of all, the look <a href="http://www.gerenford.com/catalog/Detail.aspx?CCode=141%5eCollection&CCode=142%5eDresses&cICode=2758">can be yours</a> for about $455. All’s forgiven.

- There’s a big difference between bad fashion and personal preference. Personally, we find the whole plunging-neckline-exposed-side-boob look to be a bit J-Lo circa 1999, but the overall effect is fresh, stylish and age appropriate. Suno is one of the hottest designers out of NYC right now. Not sure why Rachel pulled out her prom shoes to wear with such a hip outfit, but they’re a lot better than what <a href="http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/archive/2011/01/14/a-week-in-the-style-of-rachel-mcadams.htm">this other girl’s</a> got on.

- We know we’re going to take heat for this, but the only word to describe this ensemble is “heinous” (unless she’s popping by a toga party in hell on her way from the premiere). What’s the point of hours at the gym when she’s just going to drape herself in fabric? We’re sure her breasts are in there somewhere. Add an old lady up-do and inexplicable vampy lips, and we’re having trouble even remembering the fresh-faced fashion plate we know and love.

- Is it just us, or does this frock look a little, well, frumpy? And cheap? Of course, given that it’s Lanvin, it probably cost more than our last mortgage payment, but the way the material bunches just looks a little Le Château. And the length is rather unflattering. Nice blowout, though.

Yeh, I agree with you on some of her choices being not so good! However, my opinion on the ‘Gerard Ford’ outfit is much the same as yours, being that I think it’s the Best one of the five! She needs to get a better handle, or a Better “Dresser” on her list of “help”, so that she can “pull off” looking glamorous all the time!! She’s a beautiful gal; she just needs more help in “pulling it all together” ALL of the time! Best of luck to her.
