I have an awkward confession. I try to be all jaded and cynical, but really… I love Richard Curtis, who is like the king of sweet romantic comedies. He wrote the screenplays for Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and he wrote and directed Love Actually, Pirate Radio and this new Rachel McAdams film, About Time. These are photos from the premiere of About Time, which stars Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel and Bill Nighy. If you haven’t seen the trailer for About Time yet… it looks very sweet. Very romantic and lovely, but completely cheeseball. So I’ll probably see it, of course. But I won’t tell anyone. Here’s the trailer:

Anyway… Rachel wore this outfit (these are separates, if you can believe that) by Roksanda Ilincic. When I first saw these pics yesterday, I was like, “Ugh, why is she dressed as a futuristic priestess?” But I don’t really hate it. Mostly I want to fix the sleeves and make the tailoring better overall. As for Rachel’s red hair… she dyed it a few months ago, finally ridding herself of that terrible bleach-blonde look she had while dating Michael Sheen. I like her as a redhead, but I still think the color is off. She needs a better colorist overall.

At the premiere, Rachel talked about how much she loved working in England, saying: “I love working in British cinema, it is simply delightful because everybody is so much fun and people are always making jokes on set. But it was quite challenging to work on a British film because the rhythm of humor is different to movies elsewhere.”
