Rachel McAdams lopsided Elie Saab at TIFF: budget or beautiful?

These are photos from the TIFF premiere of To the Wonder, a Terrence Malick romance/drama “centered on a man who reconnects with a woman from his hometown after his marriage to a European woman falls apart.” Rachel McAdams plays the hometown girl, Olga Kurylenko plays the European woman (I’m assuming). The film also features Ben Affleck and Javier Bardem, neither of whom were at the TIFF premiere. So let’s just discuss the girls, shall we?

Rachel wore this lop-sided, one-sleeved Elie Saab gown which I kind of hate. I almost always dislike half-and-half dresses, where one side is conservative and the other side is all “SKIN!” I think the people at Elie Saab should have just decided whether the dress should have sleeves or not, instead of looking like they just “forgot” to add the additional sleeve. I also dislike the too-high neckline – I feel strangled on her behalf. The color is good, though. It would have been better if Rachel would go with a darker hair color. I guess we should be happy that she’s not still trying to make that horrible, too-light blonde work, but this color isn’t some big improvement. Rachel is a beautiful woman – it takes real effort to make her look this bland and unappealing.

Olga Kurylenko wore Emilio Pucci – I actually thought THIS was the Elie Saab. It looks like Elie Saab, right? Anyhoodle, I kind of love this dress. I love a long sleeve, I love some sparkle done well, and I love this color on a brunette. I was paying attention to Olga’s recent promotional tour through Venice, and I have to say… she did not wear anything half as cute as this dress.
