2013 MTV Video Music Awards Wish List: Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez has really mastered the teen to adult transition and just coming off her 21st Birthday and I can definitely see that Selena has grown to be a fabulous woman. For the big night where Selena is expected to take home at least one moon man award and to do so I would love to see her wear this dove grey Giambattista Valli Fall 2013 Couture strapless cocktail dress. This dress might be a little tame for the occasion but Selena doesn't really do crazy for the red carpet. This dress paired with a silver Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver Jimmy Choo platform sandals, some simple diamond dazzlers on the ears, and a cocktail ring with a statement stone to stand out against the simple grey palate. If she does this with her tresses just flowing over one shoulder and Selena will have a hit on her hands at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards on August 25th at 8pm.

2013 MTV Video Music Awards Wish List: Rihanna

Rihanna started this year on a high not with her light etherial red chiffon Azzendine Alaia gown at the 2013 Grammy Awards but has been all over the fashion map for the rest of the year. I am hoping to see top standard RiRi back on the red carpet at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. For this red carpet I would love to see Rihanna wear this blue to black ombre Zuhair Murad Fall 2013 Couture mermaid gown with a feather skirt. For those of you who read and don't know me I have a huge thing for looks with feathers I think they are fun and when done correctly can be very chic. This is a gown where I think that it is done in a very chic way. Just a simple up-do and no jewelry or back and a pair of black simple sandals. I think that this would be a perfect look for an MTV red carpet for RiRi.

2013 MTV Video Music Awards Wish List: Pink

I have to say I have been a huge fan of the songs that Pink has put out in the past year as it has been really catchy or really passionate which are two things I look for in music that I put onto my iPod. With that said while I may love her music I am not always a fan of her red carpet dressing. Pink is not a typical red carpet lady as she is not a girly girl and tends to find edgier looks to wear on the red carpet. I think that this white silk chiffon top and black and silver embellished skirt from the Juan Carlos Obando Fall 2013 RTW collection is a perfect match for Pink. This is, what I believe to be, a perfect mix of red carpet glam and tomboy for Pink as I still think her best red carpet look came from a frilly Tony Ward couture gown at the 2010 Grammy Awards and this could go on the same rack of amazingness. I would complete with an edgy hairstyle and a pair of black sandals and this would be a huge improvement over several of her past red carpet ensembles.

2013 MTV Video Music Awards Wish List: Paula Patton

Paula Patton is the wife of R&B crooner Robin Thicke who has one of the catchiest tunes of the summer, 'Blurred Lines,' nominated for a VMA. I will say I am not entirely looking forward to seeing Paula at this years MTV Video Music Awards because this year she has given all kinds of hot mess looks on the red carpet. She needs to fire her stylist in favor of someone who would actually be able to dress her and flatter her. I had to go back to the 2012 Golden Globe Awards to find a decent picture of Paula in her yellow Monique Lhuillier mermaid gown. While a gown is not where I think that Paula should go for the 2013 VMA's I do think that she should stick to Monique Lhuillier because the two of them usually make good red carpet music together. I think that this gold brocade print crepe georgette peplum corset top and black silk crepe pants would be the perfect ensemble for this event. Complete this look with a pair of black Christian Louboutin platform pumps and a black oversized clutch and ditch the coat paired with this ensemble.

2013 MTV VIdeo Music Awards Wish List: Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus I believe has finally grown into her own personal style not dictated by anyone just her. Her run on the red carpet really started back in May at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards where she wore a stunning crystal embroidered Balmain Spring 2013 RTW jumpsuit and continued with a black vintage Versace cocktail dress at an event for an iHeartRadio event. Well for the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards I would love to see Miley wear this grey crystal embellished Atelier Versace Fall 2013 Couture crop top and evening skirt. Miley has been going for this glam punk look and I think that this is the perfect look for her to do so. A pair of gunmetal grey Jimmy Choo sandals, her hair styled into a faux hawk, and a red lip would be the perfect way for Miley to complete this VMA ready ensemble.

2013 MTV Video Music Awards Wish List: The Timberlakes

Justin Timberlake is one of the two artists nominated for the most MTV Video Music Awards so I have no doubts that he will take to the red carpet at the Barclay's Center on August 25th. The 'Suit & Tie' singer will with out a doubt don a Tom Ford suit and tie for the event as he and Justin have partnered to dress him for his 20/20 Experience tour. I think that this blue jacquard Tom Ford Spring 2014 Menswear ensemble would be the perfect choice for Justin who knows how to step outside of the standard black tux look when he wants. I would exchange the shoes that the look was paired with on the runway for a pair of simple black patent lace up oxfords and Justin will look HOT, well hotter than he usually does.

I am expecting to see the new Mrs Timberlake, Jessica Biel, at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards as she has been the Best Plus 1 this year standing by her husband at all of his events from Time 100 to the Grammy Awards to the Cannes Film Festival. I think that this black strapless Oscar de la Renta Resort 2014 cocktail dress would be perfect for Jessica as a plus one. I would imagine that she would have this skirt fully lined and then pair it with the on trend white pumps and a clean face would keep Mrs Timberlake on the track as the perfect plus 1.

2013 MTV VIdeo Music Awards Wish List: Beyonce

In exactly a month the best of the music world will gather at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, NY for the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. One star who won't have to travel too far is Beyonce, who resides in Manhattan with her husband, Jay Z, and daughter, Blue Ivy. It was at this same event 2 years ago that Beyonce announced to the world that she was with child wearing Lanvin and Dolce & Gabbana. This year I do not believe that she is with child so I am choosing to have her wear this daring sexy Alexandre Vauthier Fall 2013 Couture gown. This gown features an angular skirt with a cut to there and a deep deep plunging necking and long sleeves to combat the overt sexiness. I could see Beyonce pairing this dress with some emerald earrings, an emerald cocktail ring, and a pair of silver sandals to complete this amazing red carpet look.

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has been constantly breaking out of her country princess and going glam royalty but it has been much of the same with the embellishments. I am hoping to see something totally off the wall when she steps out at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards next month. This nude Zuhair Murad Resort 2014 jumpsuit would be exactly what she needs to shock me. After donning short Herve Leger minis and cut out Emilio Pucci gowns I think that this jumpsuit isn't to far out of the realm of possibilities for her red carpet options. This is one event where if Taylor wanted to rock a jumpsuit she totally could. I would finish this look off with a sleek straight hairstyle and just a pair of nude Christian Louboutin peep toe platform pumps. Keeping it simple would be the way to go for Taylor.

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez has been transitioning from Disney princess to solo artist for about a year now and with a lot of help from Versace. This transition started in early Fall of 2012 when Selena stepped out onto the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival premiere of her film 'Spring Breakers' in s sophisticated nude Atelier Versace gown and forever changed the dynamics of her red carpet style. Gone are the days of sugary sweet ballgowns and in are the days of daring sleek looks and mini dresses, done quite tastefully of course. For the 2013 Teen Choice Awards, which Selena has garnered several nominations for, I would love to see Selena wear this white Versace Resort 2014 cocktail dress with long sheer sleeves. This dress is sophisticated yet sexy which is every that Selena embodies in her new look. Finish the ensemble with a pair of silver Jimmy Choo platform sandals and an emerald green clutch will make for a perfect red carpet look for the 2013 Teen Choice Awards.

'The To-Do List' LA Premiere Wish List

Aubrey Plaza attended the 2013 MTV Movie Awards to promote her latest film 'The To-Do List' wearing a strapless grey Prada dress with '#TheToDoList' scribbled across her chest in permanent marker. I was appalled that she did this because it reads really desperate and a little off the 12 step program. I am hoping that when she steps out onto the red carpet tomorrow night at the Bruin Theater in Hollywood for the LA Premiere of the film that all signs of desperation will be far gone and she will just look glamorous. To do so I would love to see Aubrey wear this white Marios Schwab Resort 2013 strapless gown with a deep embellished illusion v. Complete this look with a pair of on trend white pumps and a silver crystallized clutch and Aubrey will come across less harsh than she has in the past.

Connie Britton also stars in this film and hot off her Emmy nomination, for her role in the hit show Nashville, I am sure that we will see a lot more on the red carpet between now and the Emmy's on September 22nd. For this premiere tomorrow night I would love to see Connie wear this deep purple Romona Kevesa Fall 2013 RTW strapless cocktail dress sans matching shrug. I believe that Connie has the potential to have a glamorous red carpet future and she has shown some amazing looks this year from Zac Posen, Black Halo, and Reem Acra. This dress paired with a black crystallized clutch and a pair of black peep toe pumps would be the perfect match for each other.

Rachel Bilson will be the only member of the cast that could bring couture to the red carpet so I am wishing that she does. This black shirred Chanel Spring 2013 Couture dress was one of my favorite looks from the collection and I am still surprised that this dress hasn't been picked up for a red carpet appearance. Rachel would look amazing in this dress as it's sophisticated yet BoHo which is the essence of Rachel's red carpet and personal style. A green Chanel lego clutch and a pair of black satin pumps would be the right additions to not make this look too over the top for this event.

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Saoirse Ronan

I will say that I truly loved watching 'The Host' which is the film based on 'Twilight' author Stephanie Myers novel of the same name which has garnered star Saoirse (pronounced Sore-Shah) Ronan a nomination for the 2013 Teen Choice Awards. Saoirse is a true fashion girl wearing the brands that fashion editors love and not the usual red carpet standard brands like Proenza Schouler, Osman, Christopher Kane, and Rodarte. While all of those brands are fabulous I am choosing a designer with a little bit more of a red carpet history, Nina Ricci. I think that this yellow and white Nina Ricci Resort 2014 ruffled cocktail dress would be the perfect choice for Saoirse. I would change the green skinny belt to a gold one and pair this dress with a pair of on trend white pumps or sandals to complete this amazing look which is perfect for an end of summer event like this one!

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Nina Dobrev

Nina Dobrev has been knocking out of the fashion ball park the past two years and I have to say that I am glad that she finally found her fashion footing as she is such a beautiful woman. Nina is nominated for several awards for both her hit CW show 'The Vampire Diaries' as well as her film 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' which debuted almost a year ago during the Toronto International Film Festival. Having worn a cute blue and white gingham D&G dress in 2011 and a much more sophisticated teal J. Mendel dress for 2012 awards I would love to see Nina mesh the fun and the sophisticated with this Monique Lhuillier Resort 2014 ensemble. I love the oversized abstract houndstooth print on the bubble hemmed skirt and the sexy sophistication that the one shoulder lace top gives the look. I would complete this look not with black sandals, as presented, but with a pair of on trend white pumps and a clutch in a stand out color like yellow or aqua.

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Mila Kunis

Whilst I love Mila Kunis I am not entirely sure that she will take to the red carpet at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards next month. This year she has been on a roll with her red carpet style after a disappointing 2012 and I am hoping that if she does walk the red carpet that she will look absolutely stunning like she has been. I would pick this black and grey Jason Wu Fall 2013 RTW lace print dress with a structural peplum for the former 'That 70's Show' star. This dress is demure but still sexy which would only be enhanced by Mila's stunning body and sexy attitude. I would only add a simple pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps to complete this look as this dress is just enough on its own.

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Lea Michele

I would like to start this post out by sending my most sincere condolences to Lea Michele and the rest of the cast members of  'Glee' as well as the Family, Friends, and Fans of Corey Monteith who past away this past weekend. I am sure that we will not be seeing much of Lea on the red carpet but I think that the 2013 Teen Choice Awards is where she will make her first public appearance after the loss of her long time boyfriend. I think that this ethereal Atelier Versace Spring 2013 Couture dress would look absolutely stunning on the star who likes to go big or go home and this is definitely a little over the top for the 'Glee' star. I would complete this look with a pair of gold sandals and possibly a gold clutch and that would be it!

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart will be taking her final walk on the Teen Choice Awards red carpet nominated for 'Twilight" which she has only garnered one nomination this year for Choice Movie: Liplock between her and ex-boyfriend Robert Pattinson in the final installment of  'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.' I have a love hate relationship with Kristen Stewart when she takes to the red carpet because she either looks great or like a disheveled mess. I am hoping that she will look amazing on this red carpet and do we wearing this black and white Maxime Simoens Resort 2014 cocktail dress. Maxime Simoens is an up and coming brand that celebrities around the world are starting to discover and rock on the red carpet and the Resort 2014 collection is full of red carpet potential. Kirsten would look really pretty in this dress with her long locks cascading over one shoulder and a pair of black strappy sandals, like the ones paired with the dress on the runway.' If she did this then I think that she will have an amazing red carpet moment on her hands.

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Kerry Washington

Kerry Washington used to be a favorite and was one of my favorites during awards season but lately I am not loving what she is what bringing to the red carpet and I am hoping that she will bring back the high fashion when she steps out for the 2013 Teen Choice Awards. This magenta Giles Fall 2013 RTW cocktail dress would be the perfect option for Kerry for this event who is nominated for Choice Movie Actress: Comedy for Peeples. This dress paired with a black Edie Parker clutch and a pair of black strappy sandals would be the perfect finishing touches to this amazing avant garde ensemble.

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Hayden Panetiere

Hayden Panettiere can either have a great look or a tragic look when she steps out on the red caret there does not seem to be a middle ground for the actress. The 'Nashville' actress is nominated for Choice TV Actress: Drama for her role in the hit musical series and I am hoping that we will see an absolutely amazing red carpet look from the star. I would put her in this electric blue sporty Preen Resort 2014 cocktail dress. The Teen Choice Awards, much like the Kids Choice Awards, has to be one of the most casual red carpet events and only a few break the norm and wear couture for this event. This Preen dress is absolutely perfect for this event short, fun, and flirty. Complete this look with a bronze Jimmy Choo 'Candy' clutch and a pair of brown Christian Louboutin glitter peep toe slingback pumps. If she were to do this and then many people will have herself a best dressed look on her hands that will be recognized world round.

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow will undoubtedly be rocking the 2013 Teen Choice Awards red carpet as she is nominated for two awards for her role in 'Iron Man 3.' After a slightly lackluster promotional tour for the film I am hoping to see Gwyneth Paltrow make a stellar red carpet moment at this awards show. To do so I would love to see her wear this black and gold Julien Macdonald Fall 2013 RTW beaded dress. I can see Gwynie sortening this dress to me more above the knee which would be a choice I could still get behind for this event. A pair of black Chrisitian Louboutin sandals and a black clutch would be the perfect subtle finishing touches to complete this amazing red carpet ensemble.

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Emma Watson

Emma Watson may have put her Teen Choice Awards hit franchise 'Harry Potter' behind her but she has still managed to grab two nominations this year. She is nominated for Choice Movie Actress for 'Perks of Being a Wallflower' and Candies Choice Style Icon this year and I am really excited to see her take to the red carpet. Lately when Emma has not been donning Chanel she has been reping British based brands like Christopher Kane, Marios Schwab, Antonio Berardi, and Peter Pilotto. For this years Teen Choice Awards I would love for Emma to cement her 'Style Icon' status by wearing this amazing coral Marios Schwab Resort 2014 cocktail dress with a sculptural peplum top. She would rock the red carpet in this modern yet classic dress finished with just a pair of strappy gold sandals and a sleek hairstyle to keep the look simple yet glamorous.

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Blake Lively

I would not be surprised to see Blake Lively attend the 2013 Teen Choice Awards as she is nominated for the final time for her role as Serena Van Der Woodson in the hit CW show 'Gossip Girl' which ended its 6 year 6 season run in late 2012. Blake is the spokeswoman for the Gucci fragrance 'Gucci Premiere' and since being announced as such she has been extremely loyal to the brand at events where she is promoting herself like she would be at this event. I would put Blake in a modified version of this black Gucci Fall 2013 RTW jumpsuit. I would have it turned into a sleeveless shorts playsuit to show off Blake's enviable legs which are undoubtedly one of her best features. Complete the look with a bold colored Gucci clutch and a pair of shoes picked out to match by her dear friend Mr Christian Louboutin and Blake would have the perfect event appropriate look for the Teen Choice Awards which take place on August 11th!

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Anna Kendrick

Anna Kendrick will hopefully be in attendance at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards to represent her film 'Pitch Perfect' which is nominated for Choice Movie Comedy and Anna herself is nominated for Choice Movie Actress in a Comedy for the film. To take to the red carpet I would love to see the former 'Twilight' star to wear this amazing orange Halston Heritage mini dress. Anna used to be one that I would always look forward to seeing take to the red carpet until after she was nominated for an Oscar. Since then her style has gone down hill but I think that this bold dress is exactly what the doctor ordered to bring her mojo back. Complete the look with a bronze Edie Parker clutch and a pair of gold sheer Diane Von Furstenberg sandals will complete this look and leave Anna on top!

'The Smurfs 2' LA Premiere Wish List

 The 'Smurfs 2' will undoubtedly have a star studded blue carpet at the Regency Village Theater in Hollywood, California on July 28th and I am sure that we will see quite a few blue looks on the red carpet. This wish list will consist of blue looks for all of the stars though I do believe that not everyone will show up in blue. For this premiere I would love to see Christina Ricci, who plays Vexy one of the blue smurfs, wear this amazing just presented Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture cocktail dress. I think that this is a fun flirty look even though it is a couture creation. I believe that this dress would fit in perfectly at the animated/live action red carpet premiere. I would just pair this dress with the blue satin runway shoes and maybe some simple diamond earrings and Christina will rock the red carpet at her big Hollywood premiere.

 'Glee' actress Jayma Mays has been, sadly, missing from the red carpet this year. I love to see her take to the red carpet as she has a cute sense of red carpet dressing that varies from appearance to appearance, she can go from sexy vampiress in Alberta Ferretti one week to peachy goddess in Jenny Packham in another. For this premiere I have chosen to put Jayma in this classic shaped Erin Fetherson Fall 2013 RTW silk jacquard dress. I think that for a 'Smurfs' animated feature (even though Jayma's character Grace is one of the live action characters) that this dress is appropriate for Jayma without going too over the top. A simple blur Edie Parker clutch and a pair of gunmetal grey Jimmy Choo sandals will have Jayma back on the worlds Best Dressed lists.

And finally we have a wish for Katy Perry. The quirky star has already been busy promoting this film when the film held events during the 5th Annual Summer of Sony event held in Cancun, Mexico wearing brands like Monique Lhuillier, Dolce & Gabbana, and Zimmerman. Katy plays 'Smurfette' and when the first film premiered Katy took to the red carpet in a custom bustier mini dress by The Blonds with her characters face bedazzled onto the bodice. While I think that Katy will not play to the gimmicks this year I still think that there will be a quirky blue factor which is why I have chosen to put Katy in this blue and white Giambattista Valli Fall 2013 Couture cocktail mini dress. I think that it has been way to long since Katy has really brought a major quirky red carpet moment, lately opting for much more demure gown up looks, but this is the place for this cute youthful cocktail dress. Pair this dress with a pair of Christian Louboutin blue sandals and Katy will look absolutely amazing while taking to the red carpet at this July 28th Hollywood grand premiere.

'The Lone Ranger' London Premiere Wish List

I was actually rather pleased when the stars of the new Disney adapation of 'The Lone Ranger' took to the red carpet at Disney's California Adventure to for the big premiere of this film as they really took the standard for a Disney premiere and raised the bar. Armie Hammer who appears in the film as the title character took to the red carpet wearing a pink linen suit by Tom Ford. I have to say that this will almost 100% be in my Top 10 Menswear Looks of 2013 because he Really took the effort and stepped out of the navy/grey/black/tan suit regiment that most of the men in Hollywood are stuck in and took a risk. For the London premiere of this film on Sunday July 21st I would love to see Armie take yet another red carpet risk and go for this very bold blue Tom Ford Spring 2014 Menswear suit styled the exact same way it is on the runway sans the shoes I would go for a pair of black lace up oxfords to give this look a polished finish so that Armie will continue to shine.

Ruth Wilson really jettisoned onto the red carpet scene last year at the 2012 Olivier Awards when she stepped out in a stunning McQ Fall 2012 RTW ankle length ball gown and she has continued to do so wearing Dior Couture, Jason Wu, and Alexander McQueen in the year since she made her first major appearance. For the London premiere of 'The Lone Ranger' Mrs Wilson will be back on her home turf so I am hoping that the level of glamour stays high with this amazing black and white Michael Kors Resort 2014 gown. This gown is absolutely amazing with its embellishments that just seem to mix with the minimalist design of the look which is a challenge not mastered by many. Ruth would look fantastic waltzing down the red carpet at the Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square in London in this creation. Complete the look with a black satin Prada box clutch and a pair of satin Jimmy Choo sandals and Ruth may just have a spot on the Ones To Watch or Best Newcomer list!

'Only God Forgives' Premiere Wish List

I am surprised by the lackluster promo tour for 'Only God Forgives' with it only having a glam star studded premiere when it screened in Cannes in May. The film has gone on to have screenings at the LA Film Fest among others but Kristin Scott Thomas and Ryan Gosling have been nowhere in sight. I am hoping that before the movie releases into theaters on July 19th we will see the stars take to one more red carpet in LA, New York, or London to premiere this film. To do this I would love to see the sophisticated Kristin Scott Thomas to wear this amazing silver Chanel Fall 2013 Couture sheath gown. I think that this gown is perfect for Kirsten who favors very sophisticated ensembles for her red carpet appearances. This gown paired with a silver Edie Parker clutch an a pair of silver Salvatore Ferragamo satin pumps, and glamorous Cartier diamonds to complete this amazing ensemble.

Ryan Gosling has been, much to the worlds disappointment, absent from the promotional tour for this film. I am hoping that we get Ryan and Kristin Scott Thomas arm in arm as they would be a glamorous couple together on the red carpet. For this premiere I would love to see Ryan wear this amazing silver Gucci Fall 2013 Menswear tuxedo. Ryan is one of my favorite men to see on the red carpet because he constantly keeps things interesting by not wearing the basic red carpet standard black tuxedo. This suit would look amazing next to Kristin in the silver Chanel which is another reason why I picked it for him.

'Red 2' LA Premiere Wish List

Next Thursday the stars of the comedy thriller 'Red 2' will take to the red carpet at the Regency Village Theater in Hollywood to premiere the latest installment of the film. Its has been quite awhile since we have seen Catherine Zeta Jones take to the red carpet and a welcome return it will be. For this premiere I would love to see Catherine Zeta Jones wear this amazing blue Elie Saab Fall 2013 RTW satin dress paired with a pair of black satin peep toe pumps and wavy locks to create the perfect look for the Welsh actress for this premiere.

Helen Mirren unlike Catherine Zeta Jones is a returning star of the film and I would not be surprised to see her take to the red carpet next Thursday to premiere this film in Hollywood. I used to love seeing Helen take to the red carpet but I will say in the past two years my love for her sense of dressing has dramatically decreased but I am hoping that she will return to the red carpet at the 'Red 2' premiere wearing this amazing crystal embroidered Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2013 RTW dress. This dress paired with red kitten heels and a black satin clutch and Helen will make a triumphant return wearing a brand that she has been loyal to in the past 2 years but not had a successful run with.

10 Best Looks from Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week

Zhang Ziyi to wear the Resort 2014 Collections

 Zhang Ziyi has been one of my favorite non mainstream red carpet stars especially after her successful run at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival wearing couture almost exclusively but the stunning Chinese actress doesn't discriminate against Resort or Ready to Wear collections for her red carpet ensembles either. This white Chanel Resort 2014 gown with an embellished shoulder piece would look amazing on Zhang who really knows how to take the complicated looks and make them look effortless and chic. This has to be one of the best Chanel gowns that was featured in this collection but it will definitely bot be chosen by a mainstream star as like I said it is a complicated look.

 A more casual look for Zhang to pull for maybe a photocall or other more casual appearance would be this amazing leaf print Peter Pilotto Resort 2014 dress. This dress is a sexy yet sophisticated look that would be absolutely divine on Zhang. I would pair this dress with the same yellow Christian Louboutin pointy toe pumps that Zhang wore with her Giambattista Valli dress at the 'Un Certain Regard' jury photocall during the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. In fact this Peter Pilotto dress seems like a bit of a commercial version of that garden inspired couture dress (pictured left.)

Last but not least we have this absolutely amazing Zac Posen Resort 2014 ball gown. The Zac Posen Resort 2014 collection was a glamorous 30s inspired glamour collection and that this amazing ball gown is another one of those looks that not many would gravitate toward and I think Zhang Ziyi is one of the few women in the entire world that could take this avant garde gown and make it work on a red carpet and make me love it! I hope you have enjoyed my insight into the Resort 2014 collections, there are even more amazing ensembles that I am sure will be making it onto wish lists for fall Awards Shows and Film Festivals so keep on the look out!

Happy 4th of July

Happy Fourth of July to all of my American readers! I have been out celebrating with friends and family and have not been able to get the pictures edited or a story written for today! I will be back tomorrow with my another Resort 2014 Wish List and then on Saturday I will be posting my Top 10 Looks from Fall 2013 Couture Fashion Week! All my favorites are posted on Twitter but I will have to pair down the over 20 looks to just 10! Hope you all have a fabulous day! I am also sending out a great amount of gratitude to all the men and women who follow this blog that are members of the United States Armed Forces past, present, and future!

Michelle Obama for the 4th of July Celebrations Wish List

As a proud citizen of the United States of America I must mark the Fourth of July with a wish for my nations First Lady, Michelle Obama. I know that there is not usually a grand Independence Day Ball (like in the Princess Diaries) though if there were our First Lady should grace the crowd wearing this amazing Reem Acra Fall 2013 RTW gown which has a beading on the bodice and skirt that very much reminds me of fireworks against the night sky. This gown is a glamorous gown that looks like it was absolutely made for an American First Lady for the Fourth of July. I would make this look even more patriotic with a red manicure and silver sandals so that all the colors of Old Glory are represented in this stunning ensemble.

Emilia Clarke to wear the Resort 2014 Collections

 Emilia Clarke has defiantly been on my radar this year after she broke her steady run of Chanel only looks. One of the designers that she broke away with was a stunning Altuzarra dress while doing press for her hit HBO show 'Game of Thrones.' I think that this blue and white long sleeved Altuzarra Resort 2014 backless dress would be another perfect look for Emilia to wear while out on the promotional trail be it for 'Game of Thrones' or her Venice Film Festival contender 'Dom Hemingway.' Emilia usually looks the part of a glamorous fashion forward woman so I could totally see her rocking this dress with a pair of white high heeled sandals and loose wavy locks so that the focus would still be on any interview that she would give.

 An up and coming red carpet star should also wear other up and coming red carpet stars (no not in the Hannibal Lector way but up an coming celebrities should wear up and coming designers which is what I am wishing for with this amazing black with silver embellishment Maxime Simoens Resort 2014 gown. This gown has to be one of my favorites from all of the Resort 2014 collections. I am hoping to see it on some major red carpet between now and awards season and I think Emilia would be the perfect choice to give this gown its much needed red carpet moment. Finish the look with a black Edie Parker confetti clutch and a pair of crystal embellished Jimmy Choo sandals as well as some stunning Chopard diamonds would be the perfect top off to this amazing ensemble.

The final wish for Emilia is this amazing blush pink Zac Posen Resort 2014 strapless  peplum cocktail dress. Another favorite from the Resort 2014 collections and possibly one with the most potential to make it onto a major red carpet and I am hoping that Emilia will be the one to scoop it up especially after being the date of Zac to the amFAR Gala to Kick Off New York Fashion Week. This would be perfect for a pre-Emmy party or even the HBO Emmy Awards After Party. A pair of gold Jimmy Choo 'Lance' sandals and a gold Judith Leiber clutch would be the perfect options to finish off this amazing ensemble.
