Rachel Weisz dazzles in a plunging midnight blue gown at the Canneseries International Festival

Rachel Weisz looked nothing short of sensational on Saturday evening as she attended Day Two of the Canneseries International Festival in Cannes, France.

The actress, 53, stunned in a plunging midnight blue gown with sparkling embellishments as she walked the pink carpet at the glitzy event.

Rachel’s strapless gown clung to her figure, with the deep V-neck detail highlighting her décolletage.

The Mummy star boosted her height with towering black suede platform heels, while he allowed her dress to do the talking by ditching any further accessories. 

She wore her raven locks in a loose style that cascade over her shoulders while her features were highlighted with a radiant palette of make-up.

Rachel looked in good spirits as she beamed for the cameras as she made her way down the carpet.  

It comes after Rachel cut a stylish figure as she promoted her series Dead Ringers at the festival.

The six-episode miniseries is a gender-swapped adaptation of director David Cronenberg’s 1988 psychological thriller of the same name, which starred Jeremy Irons as twin gynaecologists operating a infertility clinic.

It comes after the actress, who shares a daughter with husband Daniel Craig,  revealed she was ‘obsessed’ with the original movie and that it was she who brought the idea of a female-led remake to Amazon.

Amazon first announced the project in August 2020, giving it a straight-to-series order, with production beginning in August 2021.

Set in New York, Weisz plays both Elliot and Beverly Mantle, twins who share everything: drugs, lovers and an unapologetic desire to do whatever it takes.

They team up to push the boundaries of medical ethics -in an effort to challenge antiquated practices and bring women’s health care to the forefront. 

The key to the plot is the relationship between them, she explained.

She said: ‘Beverly is altruistic, thoughtful, careful, and kind. She wants to change the way women give birth.

‘Elliot is very, very different. She’s not altruistic and she’s pushing the boundaries of what’s ethical.’

‘It’s quite deliciously mischievous at times. Emotional. Moving. And there is some humour, also — darkly, darkly humorous,’ Weisz told the Hollywood Reporter.

With her telling the publication: ‘It’s a very intense relationship. They love each other very deeply, but I think they kind of feel everything about each other very deeply, and that takes us to more of a dangerous co-dependent place.’

The original David Cronenberg film was adapted from the 1977 novel Twins by Bari Wood and Jack Geasland, which was loosely based on the true story of twin gynaecologists Stewart and Cyril Marcus.

They were both found dead in July 1975 in separate rooms of Cyril’s Manhattan apartment at just 45 years of age, with Stewart dying of a barbiturate overdose and Cyril suspected of possibly taking his own life in a suicide pact after finding his brother dead.
