Rachel McAdams bucked the solid color trend for the Oscars and instead wore an
Elie Saab Haute Couture strapless gown which featured a hand pleated bodice with multiple buttons up the back. The full skirt featured flowing panels of organza and mousseline in a spring print of pastel blues, greens and pinks. The dress looked lovely in up close photos, but it really did not play terribly well on television. The subtle colors of the dress looked muddy, which is one reason most women avoid wearing prints to these kind of events.
Rachel accessorized her look with natural, multi-color diamond earrings and a diamond ring, both by Lorraine Schwartz. Rachel carried a lilac satin clutch from Ferragamo and wore shoes by Sergio Rossi. She wore her hair in the most popular hairdo of the evening, a textured updo. No doubt the high humidity and the rain was behind the proliferation of buns at the Oscars this year. Those actresses who wore their hair down (with the exception of Sandra Bullock and Kate Winslet whose hair looked perfect all evening) were looking a bit bedraggled.
