Rachel McAdams arrived in style at the “Top Gun: Maverick” premiere in San Diego, Calif., on Wednesday. The long-awaited sequel to the 1986 film faced two years of production delays due to the pandemic. The movie officially hits theaters on May 27 and includes a star-studded cast such as Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller, Glen Powell, Val Kilmer, Monica Barbaro and Jon Hamm.

McAdams looked stunning in an all-black ensemble. The Canadian actress graced the red carpet in a long-sleeve turtleneck dress by Alexander Vauthier. The garment was complete with pointy shoulder pads, ruched detailing on the bodice, a knee-high split and an asymmetrical hemline.

To keep things simple, the “Notebook” star pulled her blond hair up into a high ponytail and let a few strands frame her face. She opted for minimal makeup and accessories and only added a pair of stud earrings.

As for footwear, the “Mean Girls” actress rounded out her look with black sandals. The high heels featured a double strap across the toe and an asymmetrical strap that ran along the instep.
