Rachel McAdams is Irene Adler

Rachel McAdams is Irene Adler

Rachel McAdams bundles up and keeps warm with a steaming hot cup of coffee while shopping with a gal pal in London on Monday.

The 30-year-old Canadian actress has been in town to film Guy Ritchie’s detective flick, Sherlock Holmes. She plays leading lady Irene Adler, a femme fatale from New Jersey who once outwitted Sherlock (Robert Downey Jr.), earning his grudging respect. Last week, the first pictures of Rachel — in hair and make-up as her character — popped up online.

Sherlock Holmes is expected to release October 2009.

10+ pictures inside of Sherlock star Rachel McAdams

Cute outfit!

# 3

hopefully Downey can help her with her recent flops
all she is good for is being Gosling’s controlling gf

# 4

Mediocre actress and she looks old

# 5

Poor girl jealous of Ellen Page and she’s just a clone of Melissa George!

# 6

Good thing she is hiding her big forehead.

# 8

One of my fav actresses :)

# 9

Jealous much! LOL. Really people, do some research. You have no f&*$ing idea when it comes to anything Rachel McAdams but what the gossip mongers feed you. She’s gorgeous and thankfully not a famewhore or ****, like some people from her past. :)

Melissa George? LMAO. The same Melissa George that was in Home and Away? The same mediocre actress who was in The Amityville Horror? I’m sure she wants to be a clone of her…

looking forward to sherlock holmes, mostly because of robert downey though. Jude Law does nothing foe me. Rachel is ok too a bit overated i think. Amy Adams would be interesting in this role or Natalie Portman

I like Downey Jr. not Rachel.

Seth (#5), you’re a homo. Rachel is gorgeous.

gosh, i love her. she’s so gorgeous

great actress. she’s just amazing

shoegal421 @ 12/15/2008 at 6:21 pm

she’s beautiful and a much better actress than natalie portman! irene adler is a very intelligent but playful character and i think rachel will do an awesome job.

#3 - #7 are so the same person. Lame. Grow up.

Rachel is gorgeous and has more talent in her pinky toe than most actresses have in Hollywood.

Can’t wait to see State of Play where she plays a reporter..With Russell
Crowe

BECKY SMITH @ 12/15/2008 at 6:43 pm

Yes the same Melissa George who is now on Grey’s Anatomy..!

Yawn. Good actress, but such a boring celebrity.

She Rocks! @ 12/15/2008 at 8:43 pm

I LOVE HER!!!

The world needs more Rachel!

She’s awesome ! I’m happy she plays in Sherlock Holmes :-)

I saw her that day in boots :D

She was so lovely and looks even more beautiful in real life.
I couldnt believe it I never ever thought I would have the chance to meet my favourite actress as she lives so far away, But her dreams do come true :D

uhh natalies portman is the overrated one

the girl in the above picture can act, as i have seen more than “mean girls”…and so have seen the variety she can play

people need to actually be factual before making retarded comments

she could hold her own against Natalie Portman or Amy Adams any day trust

she’s always in movies with respected and better actors so therefore she gets hyped. the best film i saw her in was red eye but then im a huge Cillian Murphy fan ! if she acted with Colin Farrell i’d go see it … yeah i like irish men ! But she’s not terrible or anything better than Sienna Miller or Katie Holmes any day

Rachel looking rough as usual. Who could possibly be jealous of Rachel? Not everybody is going to like you in this world, she’s one of the most overrated actresses ever. There are far better actresses in Hollywood than Rachel puhleeze.
