Cannes Film Festival 2011: Rachel McAdams …..What she wore!

Rachel McAdams stole the spotlight of the Red Carpet at the premiere of her upcoming movie Midnight in Paris. 

Looking absolutely radiant in her dazzling red Marchesa gown

Later that week, at the premiere of Sleeping Beauty, she had her arm wrapped tightly around beau Michael Sheen!  Looking fabulous, as always, when she hit the Red Carpet wearing a silk trouser suit by Monique Lhuiller.

We think Rachel McAdams rocked the Festival! Her natural beauty makes her look fabulous no matter what she wears…… But throwing in a little Marchesa and Monique Lhuiller never hurts either!
