Rachel McAdams Pairs $1,490 Christopher Esber Gown With Patent Paris Texas Pumps at Send Help Premiere

Rachel McAdams turned heads at the London premiere of her latest survival horror film, Send Help.

She stood out instantly against the red backdrop at the Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square, her Christopher Esber dress and matching brown heels catching the light and giving off a subtle shimmer even from a distance.

Send Help is a survival horror-thriller directed by Sam Raimi. The film follows two corporate colleagues—Linda Liddle (Rachel McAdams), a strategist from a financial management company’s Planning & Strategy Department and survival enthusiast, and her arrogant, newly appointed CEO, Bradley Preston (Dylan O’Brien)—who find themselves as the sole survivors of a plane crash on a deserted island.

As they try to survive, the film focuses on their changing power dynamic, rising tension, and fight for survival, mixing horror with dark humor.

Rachel McAdams Grounds Her Shimmering Premiere Look in Sleek Brown Stiletto Pumps

Rachel McAdams looked effortlessly polished in her deep brown ensemble, and I loved how her Paris Texas pumps quietly pulled everything together. She chose a sleek, understated pair with a glossy finish that subtly reflected the light beneath her shimmering gown. They didn’t draw too much attention, but they worked well with her dress.

The pumps featured an elongated toe and a sleek vamp, giving them a clean, elegant line. Finished with slim stiletto heels, they added just enough height to enhance Rachel’s posture and the fall of the dress.

Styled by Thomas Christos Kikisa, her shoes looked refined against the gown’s sparkle and drama, keeping the overall appearance sophisticated.

Celebrities keep coming back to Paris Texas’ statement-boot-and-sleek-heel formula because the brand delivers runway drama with real-world wearability—think sharp pointed toes, glossy patent finishes, and leg-lengthening silhouettes that photograph beautifully.

The label’s most recognizable hit, the “Lidia,” has become a modern It-shoe: Emily Ratajkowski turned the Lidia mules into a press-tour staple, while Natasha Lyonne used turquoise Lidia slingbacks for a bold, color-pop premiere moment.

Even when the styling is more understated, the shoes still do the work—Daisy Edgar-Jones leaned on classic patent Lidia slingbacks to polish a London promo look, and Florence Pugh’s press-tour roundup shows how Paris Texas pumps can read both futuristic and timeless depending on the outfit.

Monochrome Magic: Rachel McAdams Pairs Brown Stilettos With a Christopher Esber Sequin Gown

Rachel went fully monochromatic, pairing the brown pumps with a dark brown Christopher Esber dress that fit her like a second skin. The silhouette was smooth and fluid, hugging her curves beautifully, while the sequins shimmered naturally with each step. From a distance, the rich brown tone gave off a soft, molten glow!

The sleeveless, floor-length number was entirely covered in brown-toned sequins, elevating the otherwise straightforward silhouette. What made the design even more striking was the bold side cutout, trimmed with jersey fabric. It revealed her black bra and a hint of skin, adding an unexpected sultry twist to the sleek, modest gown.

I also loved how the hem grazed the floor perfectly. It created a long, clean line that made Rachel appear even taller. This Christopher Esber creation retails for $1,490 at Mytheresa.

Soft Glam Finish: Tiffany Diamonds, Flowing Waves, and a Red-Carpet Polish

Rachel carried the shimmer into her accessories with pieces from Tiffany & Co.’s Knot collection. I would’ve skipped the necklace to let the high, round neckline stand on its own, but she chose to add extra sparkle with the $46,000 Double Row necklace in 18k yellow gold, set with 3.12-carat round brilliant diamonds.

She finished the look with matching diamond earrings and a few rings, including the $12,900 Double Row ring in 18k yellow gold with round brilliant diamonds totaling .61 carats, adding a touch of shine.

Her hair was styled in soft, flowing waves that framed her face and softened her overall appearance, while her makeup stayed classic and understated. She wore eyeliner, a hint of blush, and a matching lip that complemented the deep brown tones of her outfit.
