The Deauville American Film Festival started this weekend, and the first major star to walk the red carpet was Rachel McAdams.

Rachel wore a Stella McCartney Resort 2010 dress, which has been shortened from the gown version presented.

Rachel could have worked either look on the runway and still looked fabulous.

Her cute short sassy look was paired with black peep-toes and a bold pink lip colour on the windy evening.

A lot of people seem to think that Rachel is wearing the same jacket Rumer Willis wore just last week.

I disagree. Rumer is actually wearing a jacket to Rachel dress.

Rumer’s jacket has a deep plunge and padded shoulders, to Rachel’s dress with an nude illusion panel on the front.

The only similarities for me is the lace, long sleeves and the designer.

I love premiere look, but I wasn’t so crazy about the other Stella McCartney Resort 2010 blue striped dress Rachel wore to the photocall.

The dress needed the belt or any belt to give it some shape, plus I would’ve preferred a daintier heel.

You many remember Diane Kruger wore the a tulip skirt in this same striped blue material recently.

“Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans” Premiere

I’m glad this event happened on Friday after I posted my Best Dressed Of The Week poll, because my first reaction to Eva Mendes wearing this Armani Privé Fall 2009 gown was that I liked the dress, but I wasn’t sure if I liked Eva in the dress.

Then as more pictures came in and I saw more angles, I started to appreciate how difficult this gown was to pull off. Especially by someone with Eva’s beautiful curves.

But she does pull it off, and with some ease I might add.

I would’ve never thought of Eva as a Privé girl, but her black gown which appears to be made out of ribbons is exquisite. From the keyhole bodice, to the rosette jeweled detail on her hip.

I’m not a fan of hair pushed back behind her ears, but it’s a small detail when everything else looks so amazing.

Her look was paired with black satin peep-toe pumps.

“Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans” Party

After the premiere Eva headed to the marina where she partied with designer Alberta Ferretti.

It was no surprise that Eva was wearing a gown by the designer.

Eva’s teal chiffon dress with a fringed hem was from Alberta Ferretti’s Spring 2009 collection.

Love the dress, not so crazy about the pale pink heels/black clutch combo.

“Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans” Photocall

This navy polka dotted Christian Dior Resort 2010 sheath dress is actually my favourite look of all 4 looks on this post.

The look is so chic and so classic yet not old fashioned.

I wish she had worn the runway heels, but I’m glad she wore the collar down.

Jaeger-LeCoultre host “Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans” Dinner

Completing the quartet of stunning looks this weekend was Eva wearing a white Chloé by Hannah MacGibbon Resort 2010 dress.

The white lace dress has long sleeves with a delicate chiffon ruffled plunging neckline.

It’s relaxed, yet not too informal. It’s also summer time fresh, even though we’ll all have to wait for next summer to buy this dress.

Some girls have all the luck.

She paired her maxi dress with a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, wedges and a Bulgari clutch.

I also spy another headband.

When I saw Tilda Swinton at the “Io Sono L’Amore” Premiere during Venice Film Festival I was a tad disappointed as it felt something was missing from her look.

Then I saw the back her Jil Sander Fall 2009 white dress and I cursed myself for believing for one second that Tilda would ever let me down on the red carpet.

I didn’t recognise the dress until I saw the contrasting navy draped back panel. It was a pleasant and interesting surprise.

Tilda screams elegance from her strawberry blonde quiff to the tips of her Jil Sander Fall 2009 platform heels.

Including her Haider Ackermann look at Cannes Film Festival, this is one of my favourite looks from Tilda this year.

You can purchase Tilda’s stunning dress from the Net-A-Porter US site for $2,345, or the Net-A-Porter International site for £1,250/€1,440.

Earlier that same day Tilda attended the photocall for this movie wearing another Jil Sander look.

This time she was wearing a plain white suit with no surprising contrasting panels.

She looks fabulous as always.

My first thought was there’s a lot of black at this premiere.

But considering 2 funerals took place in LA yesterday, I think it’s fitting that some of the stars wore black as a mark of respect.

Rumer was a shoe in for Best Dressed this week with her Zac Posen dress, but her Stella McCartney ensemble has trumped that look.

I have been rooting for Rumer for a very long while, and for the second time she gives me red carpet head-to-toe perfection.

The lace jacket hints at nudity without being tacky, whilst the black pants completes the sleek silhouette.

Her deep brunette hair is swept to the side, with jewels kept to a minimum.

If you are feeling a touch of de ja vu with this look, it’s because Stella McCartney wore the jumpsuit version of this lace look to the 2009 Costume Institute Gala.

For once Rumer isn’t upstage by her mother…

…who btw looked stunning wearing a black Oscar de la Renta Resort 2010 dress with black satin Brian Atwood pumps.

Demi Moore’s dress had a large rosette detail on the neckline, from which large ruffles cascade down the front of her dress.

So ladylike, so chic, so Demi, so glad she wore the runway belt. I’m not sure the dress would’ve worked without it.

Audrina Patridge has walked the red carpet a few times without her favourite Alexander McQueen bow clutch, but it was back last night.

The actress wore a black strapless textured See by Chloe dress, with a tie to the waist and a tulip skirt, with Alexander McQueen strappy sandals.

I know blondes are meant to have more fun, but I hope Audrina returns to the darker locks soon.  The blonde was cute a first, but it’s starting to lose it’s original spark.

Jamie Chung looked sassy wearing a rubbery LBD by Giorgio Armani paired with Brian Atwood heels.

The dress is interesting with those sharp details cascading from the shoulder, but what I love here is her flawless make-up.

Margo Harshman opted for a creamy Gustavo Cadile Fall 2009 strapless gown.

I love the ruched bodice and the gold band on the empire-waist, she really looks so elegant in this stunning gown.

A gold clutch and her hair swept up completes this beautiful look.

I didn’t expect to see this ivory Miu Miu Spring 2008 mini dress on the red carpet again, but Jasmine Dustin gave it another outing.

It’s still such a stunning dress, but it really deserved better shoes.

Whilst everyone opted for something youthful, I think the black satin gown Briana Evigan wore was a bit of a safe option.

Caroline D’Amore wore a sexy Dolce & Gabbana trademark strapless bustier dress with a eyelet skirt.

She paired her dress with silver strappy Jimmy Choo’s and a matching clutch.

TV personality Casey Reinhardt wore a Alice + Olivia taupe dress with leg lengthening nude heels.

Sorority Row hits theaters across the US next Friday, September 11, but in the UK it comes out on September 9.

Some of you have commented on previous Dita von Teese post that you are bored of her, mostly because her hair and make-up are always the same.

I will never tire of Dita.

She gives us perfection from the top of her head to the tip of her well-manicure big toe.

Just when you are expecting another black structured dress, she arrives at this event in a Fendi Spring 2009 nude dress covered in floral appliqués.

I was not at all fond of the Fendi Spring 2009 collection, but Dita’s dress has been modified to suit her sensual style.

The extra layer under the dress has been removed to become a shorter dress, with a deep plunging neckline showing even more of her milky skin.

Her look is complete with red lips, red nails, watermelon satin heels and a matching floral Fendi clutch.

She’s definitely up for Best Dressed this week, as she gives us the romance of summer dressing when so many are already wearing Fall pieces.

Eva Mendes was still glowing after her red carpet appearance the previous night, when she arrived at the Excelsior Hotel with her co-star Nicholas Cage for their photocall.

She wore a soft nude J.Mendel dress with black lace sleeves, paired with the Dolce & Gabbana headband she wore to the opening ceremony.

Will Eva become the Paris Hilton of the Venice Film Festival and wear headbands to every occasion?

Eva completed her look with black peep-toes and a stylish Salvatorre Ferragamo gathered leather hobo.

‘Rec2′ Photocall

Manuela Velasco opted for ballet flats with her striped Chanel Spring 2007 mini dress, which we have seen on Katie Holmes.

‘Rec2′ Premiere

I adored Manuela Velasco’s premiere look.

Her nude dress with an embellished bodice reminded me of the many emellished pieces from the Miu Miu Fall 2009 collection.

Manuela did kinda let me down with the black heels - such a safe choice - but the silver clutch perfectly complemented the silver beaded details on her bodice.

Opening Ceremony Dinner

Iris had funnily enough just added this Valentino Spring 2009 Couture strapless dress to her wish list for Britney Spears.

Not sure Brit Brit could pull this off, but Isabella Borromeo looks fabulous in this green gown with a thigh-high spilt.

I love the embellished bodice, but it looks like the foliage around her neckline needs watering as it looks a bit limp.

Barbara Palombelli opted for a Moshino Fall 2009 navy and red floral dress, which is versatile enough to be worn day or night.

The floral appliqué detail on her shoulder are so pretty.

Barbara pairs her dress with classic wooden wedges.

Gisella Marengo would’ve stood out at this event wearing sexy Roberto Cavalli Resort 2009 one-sleeved gown in a gorgeous ocean blue colour.

A silver clutch and a winning smile complete the look.

“Baaria” Premiere

I much prefer Nicole Grimaudo’s modified Gucci Fall 2009 ensemble to the runway version.

Her version is cutier, sassier and I just love her curly bob.

When Jenna Dewan wore this Blumarine Fall 2009, she was oozing sexy appeal.

Even though Italian actress Eliana Miglio is wearing the same strapless aqua ruched dress, she makes it appear more charming than overtly sexy.

Australian actress Melissa George was on hand to help celebrate the opening of the new Burberry Prorsum store in Perth yesterday.

I believe Australia is currently mid-winter, so she was appropriately dress in her Burberry Fall 2009 ensemble which was quite a quintessential British look.

I love her botanical print silk taffeta Burberry Prorsum dress, which is perfect refreshing replacement for a LBD, but I wish I could have found one picture of her without the Burberry coat.

Burberry obviously wanted her to be styled like the runway model - 10 out of 10 for that effort - but is the dress sleeveless, 3/4 length sleeved?

These are questions I want answers to.

Those questions are partially answered by Net-A-Porter who have the v-neck version of the same Burberry Prorsum silk floral taffeta jacquard dress on sale for £2,495/€2,995.

They have also recently added Melissa’s Burberry Prorsum leather and wood sandals.

Stamp out your city style with these platform sandals for £525/€607.
