2016 Costume Designers Guild Awards Red Carpet Wish List

Tuesday night are the last of the guild awards before the Oscars next Sunday night, the Costume Designers Guild Awards. I am excited to see who will be out on the CDG Awards red carpet as all of Hollywood is going to be out in LA for all of the Oscar week festivities. I hope Alicia Vikander is on the red carpet as the costume designers for her films The Danish Girl and Ex Machina are nominated. Alicia has been having a wonderful year of the red carpet as a Louis Vuitton ambassador, but I am hoping that she will dazzle us in something not LV on the red carpet since she is sure to wear the brand on Oscar night. I would love to see Alicia on the red carpet at the Costume Designers Guild Awards wearing this amazing silver Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition Spring 2016 Couture beaded fringe cocktail dress. This is something that is a little out of Alicia's wheelhouse but yet still chic and elegant. I would not take this look into full costume territory with 20s styling. I would have Alicia style her hair into old Hollywood waves over one shoulder and add a killer pair of silver pumps to ensure that the dress is the statement of this look.
Cate Blanchett is going to be at the Costume Designers Guild Awards as she is the recipient of this years LACOSTE Spotlight Award. Cate is a dream to dress for Sandy Powell, and any costume designer she comes into contact with, and is being honored for wearing clothes so well. I would love to see Cate, who was back on top form in Alexander McQueen on BAFTA night, wearing this brown and teal Valentino Spring 2016 Couture gold embroidered velvet gown with side cutouts. This gown has the potential to look like old curtains but I think that Cate's grace and elegance would make this a regal red carpet moment. While side cutouts might not be her thing to wear on the red carpet I think that in this case that Cate would maintain her regal style and elegance. A gold clutch, chic updo, glamorous fresh faced makeup, diamond cluster earrings, and a pair of gold sandals would ensure that Cat stands tall and regal on the Costume Designers Guild Awards red carpet.
Daisy Ridley has been a killer force on the red carpet since she burst onto the scene during the Star Wars: The Force Awakens promo tour. The films costume designer is nominated at the Costume Designers Guild Awards on Tuesday and I am hoping that Daisy will be on the red carpet. I think that chances are likely since Daisy is one of the presenters at the Oscars next Sunday. For the CDG Awards I would love to see Daisy keep expanding her designer repertoire and wear this amazing Oscar de la Renta Fall 2016 RTW photographic floral jacquard printed draped tea length a-line gown. I think that is would be a very chic and classic way for Daisy to kick off Oscar week. I am probably the most excited to see what Daisy is going to wear over Oscar week and I think that this would be a perfect look for her to rock. A pink clutch to match the print, a chic updo, black sandals and a light pink lip would ensure that Daisy continues to wow on the red carpet.
Kiernan Shipka is the one former star of Mad Men that is able to consistently able to give me stellar red carpet moments. I am hoping that she will be on hand at the Costume Designers Guild Awards as she always makes me swoon. Recently we have seen Kiernan start to expand her style and experiment with more grown up looks. I would love to see Kiernan wearing this gunmetal grey J. Mendel Fall 2016 RTW pleated asymmetrical gown as I think it's a chic more grown up look on the red carpet, but still appropriate for a 16 year old to wear on the red carpet. Chic waves, fresh faced makeup, a gunmetal clutch, and a pair of gunmetal Jimmy Choo sandals would ensure that Kiernan has a gorgeous red carpet moment at the CDG Awards.
The costume designer for American Horror Story: Hotel is nominated for a Costume Designers Guild Award and I am sure that Lady Gaga is going to be on hand as you could very much see her influence on costuming with couture designers like Ashi Studio and Stephane Rolland (favorites of Gaga) featured on the show. I would love to see Gaga wearing this embellished and feathered Saint Lauren Fall 2016 RTW Part 1 dress on the red carpet. Gaga was on hand at the Hollywood Palladium for this presentation and I think that this is probably the look that screams her name the most. This major 60's moment is something that I think Gaga is one of the only that could make this look not look like a costume. I would not have the thick black belt in favor of a thin silver Prada bow belt and add a pair of silver pumps would ensure that Gaga would have a major red carpet moment.
Lily James was in Cinderella alongside Cate Blanchett and the film is nominated for a Costume Designers Guild Award. I am hoping that Lily is on the red carpet and chooses this pink Elie Saab Spring 2016 Couture 3D floral embroidered cocktail dress. Lily wore Elie Saab quite a few times while promoting the movie and I would love to see her end wearing this flirty cocktail dress. Lily is not herself nominated so I think that couture is appropriate since it is a cocktail dress. I would add a pair of gold pumps, old Hollywood waves over one shoulder, and a pink lip to finish this look perfectly for Lily and the CDG Awards.

Vintage Glamour: Madalina Ghenea in Alberta Ferretti at the Sanremo Festival

Following her tigress moment in Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition earlier in the day Romanian actress and model Madalina Ghenea continued her hosting responsibilities at the 2016 Sanremo Festival by digging into the Alberta Ferretti archives and grabbed this Pre-Fall 2012 gown. The beaded vintage inspired gown has been something that I have always wanted to see on the red carpet and I more than think that Madalina has made this gown work for her. It might be a little short or I would have swapped her white sandals for gold sandals but I still think that with the beautiful finger wave hairstyle and her chandelier diamond earrings that this is a beautiful look. Like I said earlier I am very excited to see what else Madalina has in store for the rest of Sanremo.

You Better Werk!: Madalina Ghenea in Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition at the Sanremo Festival

I was turned on to the Sanremo Music Festival (which takes place in Sanremo, Italy) a few years ago when George Clooney's ex-girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis was a host and wore a bevy of couture creations over the course of her duties. I check back every year to see who will wow me and this year Madalina Ghenea, a Romanian actress and model, caught my eye wearing a tiger print gown modified from the Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition Spring 2016 Couture collection. I don't see many women having the confidence or presence to be able to pull off this gown but I think that Madalina does so with such an elegant ease. The relaxed wavy bob and smokey eye just added the perfect punctuation to this amazing look on the Sanremo stage. I am excited to see what else that Madalina will wear. Will she give us Armani Prive? Atelier Versace? Dior?

Runway Report: Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition Spring 2016 Couture

I thought Alberta Ferretti's involvement with couture was a one off season for Fall 2015 so I was a little surprised when she released another collection of Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition for Spring 2016 Couture. Italian heiress and actress Marchesa Luisa Casati, yes the same woman who inspired the name of Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig's Marchesa collection, was the starting point for the Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition Spring 2016 Couture collection. We were treated to a visual feast that spanned inspiration from almost every decade that Marchesa Luisa was alive. There was some turn of the century inspiration, 20's flappers, 30's and 40's glamour, and 50's volume and I would like to believe that this is what Marchesa Luisa's closet actually looked like at the end of her life. A collection rich in different textures, silhouettes, and varying levels of embellishment. My favorite look from the collection is the bronze fully embellished flapper dress (center) that I can pictured someone like Emma Stone having a fabulous red carpet moment in. Many of these gowns could grace the red carpets from the Oscars to the Met and on to Cannes and I can picture glamorous ladies like Diane Kruger, Jessica Chastain, Florence Welch, Naomi Watts, Hilary Swank, Kate Beckinsale, Elizabeth Banks, Nicole Kidman, and Nieves Alvarez also wearing this collection on the red carpet.

Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition Spring 2016 Couture
I have been pinning all the collections on my Pinterest page with my immediate wishes of who I would die to see wearing these stunning couture creations, so to get more of an idea of who I want to wear what from the collections I would head over there!

2015 Venice Film Festival: "The Danish Girl" Premiere Wish List

Eddie Redmayne is gunning to be the next back to back Best Actor winner at the Academy Awards. This has not been done since 1994 when Tom Hanks won for "Forrest Gump" just a year after winning for playing Andrew Beckett in "Philadelphia." Eddie's portrayal of artist Einar Wegener/Lili Elbe, one of the first transgendered women in the world, in 'The Danish Girl" is garnering the buzz needed to be able to take home the prize yet again. I was slightly disappointed by Eddie this past awards season as he let his fun quirky sense of style take a back seat to the red carpet standard black and navy blue tuxedo's. I am hoping that Eddie will bring back the fun styles for his promo tour of "The Danish Girl" which starts during the 2015 Venice Film Festival. For the films photocall I picked a rusty brown Burberry Prorsum Spring 2016 single breasted suit that I would keep paired with the runways cream lace button down shirt and turquoise tie. I would figure that Eddie would choose a pair of sold light brown oxfords but I have to say that I would love to see him wear the runways two toned black and green oxfords instead. To step out for the big red carpet premiere is where I am really hoping that Eddie sticks to his sartorial guns and rocks this black and white Tom Ford Spring 2016 Menswear dotted tuxedo blazer paired with black tuxedo pants, a crisp white shirt. This is the type of look that I have missed from Eddie. I loved him for pushing the boundaries of menswear on the red carpet and this Tom Ford tuxedo definitely does just that.
Alicia Vikander is also getting a bit of Oscar buzz for her performance as Gerda Wegener, the wife of Eddie's character, and I am hoping that she will really turn it out for the "The Danish Girl" premiere. As a face of Louis Vuitton I am holding out hope that Alicia will be allowed to wear other brands besides LV as I get tired of seeing the same styles all the time. I am picking this simple black Louis Vuitton Fall 2015 RTW shift mini dress with a squiggly visual detail on the long sheer sleeves for Alicia to wear during the films photocall. Paired with a pair of blue pumps to add a bold pop of color to the look and a red lip this would be a perfect photocall look. For the red carpet premiere I picked this stunning royal blue Alberta Ferretti Fall 2015 Demi Couture chiffon gown. We see a lot of Alberta Ferretti during Venice and I think that this goddess like silhouette would be perfect for Alicia. The way that this gown drapes makes for an elegant red carpet moment. Finish off the look with a pair of silver sandals, a Louis Vuitton black and white Petite Malle graphic print clutch, ruby and diamond earrings, a soft ethereal updo, and a red lip to ensure that Alicia looks every part the Hollywood heavy hitter that she is becoming.
This year Amber Heard has gone from bad to pretty good and I am looking forward to seeing if she continues to bring the sexy to the red carpet during the 2015 Venice Film Festival. For the "The Danish Girl" photocall I would love to see Amber wear this simplistically sexy Altuzarra Resort 2016 red suit with a slight flared pant leg, impeccably tailored blazer, and black and white thin striped button down blouse. This is not an in your face sexy look but I think that a woman in an impeccably well fitted suit who oozes sex appeal looks so sensual. The borrowed from the boys look paired with a pair of gold Christian Louboutin pump, soft waves, and neutral makeup is a perfect look for Amber to wear for the photocall. The look that I picked for Amber to wear for the film's big red carpet premiere is much more classically sexy. This peacock blue velvet Ralph & Russo Fall 2015 Couture long sleeve gown that features a plunging neckline and split to there is just so elegantly sexy that Amber would look drop dead gorgeous. A chic updo, a red lip, a pair of black sandals, and a statement diamond necklace will ensure that Amber exudes old Hollywood glamour on the Venice Film Festival red carpet.
I have been trying to figure out who I wanted to wear this stunning cream Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture featured and beaded gown with its remarkably sexy thigh high split. When Diane Kruger was announced as a juror for the 2015 Venice Film Festival I knew right then and there that she was the one. No one wears a gown quite like Diane and I have to say that I could see Diane making this sexy look very chic and sophisticated while still working that sexy central split to ensure that she isn't overwhelmed by all that is going on in this gown. Finished with a chic up do, a light pink lip and gold sandals and Diane would kill this look on the red carpet.
The curators of the Venice Film Festival have really given us fashion lovers a treat by not just giving us Diane Kruger on the Jury but also Elizabeth Banks. Each is a red carpet heavyweight but in their own ways. Elizabeth knows how to work the more demure looks really well while Diane works the avant garde with ease. For the "The Danish Girl" premiere I would love to see Elizabeth wear this elegant Marches Resort 2016 antique gold gown with 3-D floral embroidery. This gown needs someone who will wear it will confidence and Elizabeth defiantly has the presence to rock this gown on the red carpet. A gold box clutch, a pair of gold sandals, a red lip, and a simple updo will ensure that Elizabeth wears this gown and the gown does not overwhelm her.

Be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook during the 2015 Venice Film Festival, which runs from September 2 to September 12, to keep on top of all the looks that come down the red carpet.

2015 Venice Film Festival: "Black Mass" Premiere Wish List

"Black Mass" is the second of two films, the first being "A Bigger Splash", that Dakota Johnson will be premireing during the 2015 Venice Film Festival and I gotta say that I am nervous because I have not been Dakota's biggest fan. For the photocall I picked this purple lace Gucci Resort 2016 shirt dress. Dakota was front row when Alessandro Michele presented his first Resort collection for Gucci back in May in New York City and I am hoping that Dakota picks up a look for two from the collection, as shown by the gown I picked for her to wear for the "A Bigger Splash" premiere. I think that Dakota should keep the look with a yellow shoe but opt for a lighter sandal for this photocall. For the premiere I picked this shocking pink Schiaparelli Spring 2015 Couture bias cut gown with a sensual abstract human anatomy print. I think that this would be an elegant offering from Dakota but I am expecting her to wear a custom Christian Dior or Saint Laurent design for this premiere. A black clutch, a pair of black sandals, simple diamond drop earrings, and a light pink lippie would finish this look off in such an elegant way even though I expect we will see Dakota wear either black or white for her premiere.
I have to say that I am probably the most excited to see what the members of the feature film jury wear on the red carpet because Diane Kruger and Elizabeth Banks are two of my favorite to see on the red carpet and I can not wait to see what they bring to Venice. For the "Black Mass" premiere I have picked this Alberta Ferretti Fall 2015 Demi-Couture printed chiffon ballgown. The gowns print is actually taken straight from the walls of Alberta Ferretti's new Parisian offices and I have to say that there aren't many that I could see pulling this look off and Diane is one of them. Only thing that I think could put Diane off from wearing this look is the fact that Elizabeth Banks wore a similar style by Elie Saab Couture for the "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" premiere in London last year and it became one of the most buzzed about looks of the year. If Diane were to still go for this look I would pair it with a gold clutch and gold sandals and a chic updo to ensure that the look is all about the stunning gown and not the accessories.
Elizabeth Banks will look stunning I am sure at every premiere that she attends during the course of the 2015 Venice Film Festival. For the "Black Mass" premiere I chose to put Elizabeth in this stunning Alexander McQueen Resort 2016 figure hugging gown completely embellished with different flowers. I think that this is an edgy choice and if anyone can make an edgy choice look extremely glamorous it is Elizabeth, I mean she does pull off all of Effie Trinkets costumes with great aplomb in "The Hunger Games." This is a look that needs to be styled very simply. I would pair this look with a pair of black peep toe pump and a small black clutch, finishing the look with old Hollywood waves and a red lip to add a touch of glamour to the look.

Be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook during the 2015 Venice Film Festival, which runs from September 2 to September 12, to keep on top of all the looks that come down the red carpet.

2015 Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actress Nominees Wish List

Emma Stone has been slaying Awards Season, albeit she has only attended the Golden Globe and SAG Awards despite nominations at other awards shows. I am sure that the "Birdman" star will step out for the Academy Awards next weekend. I am hoping that Emma gives us a beautiful feminine statement since her previous two awards show look mastered the menswear trend. Emma started the journey to the Oscars with this film at the Venice Film Festival wearing a stunning Valentino Couture gown and I am wishing for her to end the journey in a stunning Valentino Couture gown. When I was watching the Valentino Spring 2015 Couture collection walk the runway, via the livestream, I was actually looking for a dress for Keira Knightley, but then this stunning celestial embroidered  ballgown took to the runway my Oscars wishes immediately changed. This needs an Oscars moment and Emma is the only person that I can see wearing it and making it WERK like it owes her $10. This would fulfill my need for color and feminine glamour from Emma at the Oscars. Sleek hair, a red lip, and gold sandals would be the final finishing touches to ensure a perfect Oscar look for Emma.
After deciding to go with Valentino for Emma Stone I started to dig into the Chanel archives to find a gown for Keira Knightley to wear for the Oscars next Sunday night. Keira has not been a shining maternity style star like we all expected her to be this awards season, but she has SLOWLY getting better and better. I am still waiting for Keira to give me a show stopping moment this awards season. I think that this black and white Chanel Fall 2006 Couture gown would give that to Keira. It would hide her baby bump that she wants so much but still be a big statement. A chic up do, a pair of black pumps, simple Chanel Fine Jewelry earrings and a bold red lip will ensure that Keira is ready for the Academy Awards red carpet.
Having not been nominated at any of the other awards shows it was very shocking to hear Laura Dern's name called out when the 2015 Academy Awards nominations. Never one to really make the couture splash I think that this pretty Roberto Cavalli Pre-Fall 2015 black gown with gold embroidery would be a perfect gown for Laura to wear for the Oscars. Laura is not the likely to win, Patricia Arquette of "Boyhood" is,  so this is not something that should be out of her realm of possibilities. A pair of black sandals, a black and gold clutch and neutral makeup will finish this look off perfectly for Laura for the Oscars.
And finally for the nominees we have Meryl Streep, of course, whose role as the witch in "Into The Woods" earned her a nomination this year. I picked this eggplant Alberta Ferretti Pre-Fall 2015 faux wrap gown with three quarter length sleeves and a crystal hip embellishment for Meryl to wear. Since she has not been announced to present and is not likely to win then this gown might be a little much of a stretch but I think that the 65 year old actress would look elegant and beautiful on the Oscars red carpet. Why not take the chance to get dressed up and have some fun, of course with 18 previous Oscar nominations it might just be another day at the office for Meryl. Stunning diamond earrings & black pumps are my recommendations for finishing off this look for the Academy Awards.

2015 Producers Guild of America Awards Wish List

Emma Stone definably took one of the biggest risks at the 2015 Golden Globe Awards this past Sunday night wearing a Lanvin jumpsuit with an embellished bustier top and back bow. I have to say that her risk paid off and she did my Top 10 list. If she attends the 2015 Producers Guild of America Awards next Saturday to support the producers nominated for her film "Birdman," I would love to see Emma wear this amazing Gucci Spring 2015 RTW green embellished dress with a beautiful Chinese inspired printed skirt. This dress is sweet and is the kind of dress that I love to see Emma in every once in a while giving a break from all of her edgy ensembles. This is also a winning look in my book because, redhead + green dress = perfection. Finish the look with a pair of gold sandals and a red lip to ensure that Emma has another winning red carpet moment.
Felicity Jones is making her presence on the red carpet scene known, nothing said that more than her teal Christian Dior ball gown at the Golden Globe Awards. While I am anxiously awaiting to see what gowns she will wear for events like the SAG Awards, the BAFTA's, and ultimately the Oscars I am also excited to see her looks at these smaller awards shows. So far this year she has shunned her head to toe black ensembles and I am hoping that is kept up all through awards season. The producers of Felicity's film  "The Theory of Everything" are nominated at the PGA Awards and I am hoping that Felicity attends the ceremony the night before the SAG Awards. This black and red one shoulder Armani Prive Fall 2014 Couture lace dress which features a flared hem and illusion lace on the shoulder. I think that this would make for an even more impactful red carpet moment than her last Armani ensemble at the Toronto International Film Festival. A pair of black Christian Louboutin 'Paralili' slingback pumps, hair worn sleek and up, and a red lip will ensure that this is a winning red carpet look for the Producers Guild Awards.
Reese Witherspoon has been on and off wowing me this awards season. I either am totally enamored or it is a look that I feel that I can just blow off. I am hoping that at the 2015 Producers Guild of America Awards, where "Gone Girl" a film she was a producer on is nominated, that Reese will bring it. I am picking this Chanel Fall 2014 Couture cocktail dress. Cream, silver, and grey embellishments come together to make this amazing lady like cocktail ensemble for Reese to wear for the red carpet. I would not recommend that she wear the runway's matching cycling shorts with the dress. It didn't work for Lupita Nyong'o and it won't work for anyone. A pair of nude sandals would be the only accessory that I would pair with this look. Hair styled in chic curls and a bold red lip will make sure that Reese has a perfect red carpet moment at the PGA Awards.
Sienna Miller is stunning and I am extremely excited to see what she will bring to the red carpet if she attends the Producers Guild Awards on January 24. With two films that she appears in nominated, "American Sniper" and "Foxcatcher," I think that it is highly likely that we will see her at the PGA Awards. I am throwing her the gown that I had picked for Jennifer Aniston to wear for the Golden Globes since Jen didn't snatch it up. Unlike Jennifer I think that Sienna would totally take this look and make it her own styling it up with statement gold earrings, adding a gold clutch, a and a pair of gold pumps to ensure that she does not fade into the background like Jen so often does. I think that this gown fits Sienna's boho glam type of style.
And lastly we have a wish for supermodel Suki Waterhouse who will most likely be in attendance to support her boyfriend Bradley Cooper, who is nominated as one of the producers of "American Sniper." I gotta say I either love or hate what Suki wears on the red carpets, there have been very few times where one of her looks has fallen in the middle ground for me. I am hoping that next Saturday that Suki will give me an amazing look at the PGA Awards. This lilac Alberta Ferretti Spring 2015 RTW sleeveless chiffon gown is totally in tune with the models laid back type of glamour and I think that her favored messy hair would look perfect with this gown. Finish the look with a gold clutch and a pair of nude sandals an Suki would have a wonderful red carpet moment on her hands.

2014 Cannes Film Festival: L'Oreal Spokesmodels Aishwarya Rai, Araya Hargate, Barbara Palvin, & Bianca Balti Wish List

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IT IS NOW THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN, ITS TIME TO START THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL WISH LISTS! Like every year we will be kicking things off with the lovely ladies whose job it is to walk the red carpets in couture just to add some glamour, that is right I am talking about the stunning L'Oreal Paris spokesmodels. Up first is Aishwarya Rai, the stunning actress from India. Each and every single year Aishwarya returns to the red carpet and rocks the most stunning gowns. Last year she rocked Gucci Premiere, Elie Saab, and two couture saris and looked absolutely amazing. This year I have two wishes for her. First is this amazing black Armani Prive Fall 2013 Couture embellished gown. I am surprised that no one picked up this gown since July of last year and I am praying to see it on the Cannes red carpet and Aishwarya would be the perfect woman to bring it to life on the croisette. The other is this goldenrod Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture draped gown, its so elegant and goddess inspired that Aishwarya would look absolutely stunning.
Last year Araya Hargate made her Cannes Film Festival debut wearing a midnight blue Salvatore Ferragamo fringe gown and a green Zac Posen ballgown and I am excited to see what she will bring to the red carpet next month with L'Oreal. The first look that I can see Araya rocking on the red carpet is this bright green Christian Dior Fall 2014 RTW, while her last green moment (the Zac Posen) might not have been one that most applauded but I do think that this minimalist moment would defiantly be. The other look I picked is more glam this black to burgundy Elie Saab Fall 2014 RTW halter ombre gown with a sexy slit would give the opposition to the other look. I would have this look modified to include a really long train because the steps into the Palais de Festivals needs a dramatic moment.
Two years ago Barbara Palvin, the Hungarian supermodel, rocked Valentino Couture girly beaded gown and last year a sexy Alexandre Vauthier tuxedo, I am hoping that she brings back the glamor for this year because the tux just did not work for me. The first gown I would pick for Barbara is this dove grey Alexis Mabille Fall 2013 Couture long sleeved pearl embellished gown. This is seriously one of my favorite gowns from the Fall 2013 Couture collections and it has yet to be worn which makes me incredibly sad. The other is a sexy, yet sophisticated, Versace Fall 2014 RTW red silk chiffon gown with gold embellishments. This gown would mix the statements of the past while the first would much more go back to the glamour that the Valentino evoked.
Bianca Balti is a stunning model and sometimes knows how to get it right on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. Last year was not one of her finer years with the unflattering pin Chanel Couture gown she paired with clunky black accessories. I am hoping that this year she redeems herself with stunning moments that shut the red carpet down. The first gown I picked is this black, stone, and gold Alberta Ferretti Fall 2014 RTW gown. This gown needs a woman with presence to rock it and Bianca definitely has that. The same can be said about the cram colored Chanel Fall 2013 Couture halter gown that I have also picked. Only a model and like 3 actresses in Hollywood would be able to pull this gown off and what would be a better option than Chanel Couture to add glamor to a red carpet.

2014 Grammy Awards: Anna Faris, Anna Kendrick, & Kim Kardashian Wish List

 Funny lady and 'Mom' star Anna Faris will be on hand on Sunday night to be a presenter at the 2014 Grammy Awards. Anna stepped out earlier this month in an old lady style Naeem Khan beaded pant and top ensemble for the Peoples Choice Awards. I am hoping she takes to the Grammy red carpet wearing something much more fun an appropriate to her for 37 years. This yellow Naeem Khan Pre-Fall 2014 flapper fringe cocktail dress would be the perfect choice for Anna to make for this red carpet. Pair this look with a bright pink lip and a pair of gold Christian Louboutin peep toe 'Hyper Prive' pumps and we will see sexy Anna on the red carpet.
 Anna Kendrick had one of the most played songs of 2013 with 'When I'm Gone (Cups)' from her hit blockbuster movie 'Pitch Perfect' so it really isn't a surprise to know that she will take to the stage of the 2014 Grammy Awards as a presenter. Before she does that though we are bound to see Anna take to the red carpet and I think that she should wear this bright orange Alberta Ferretti Spring 2014 RTW floral embroidered chiffon cocktail dress. Anna really wowed me earlier this year in a raspberry colored Reem Acra gown at the UNICEF Ball in LA and I am hoping that she keeps up her run of good looks Sunday night. Anna usually has a great shoe game so I am hoping that she will bring me a great pair of blue or green sandals to bring out some of the color in the floral embroidery. Finish up the look with a light pink lip color and a purple minaudiere clutch to have a wonderful look for the 2014 Grammy Awards red carpet ensemble.
You know that I am scrounging for people to write about for this event when I choose to feature a wish for Kim Kardashian. I am going to start by saying I can not stand this woman who is completely irrelevant and is only still in the public eye because she is screwing Kanye West. The woman really ruins every major designer red carpet look that she wears and most of the time these looks are ensembles that Kanye bought for her that other celebrities have already worn. Well for Sunday if she walks the red carpet on Kanye's arm as he scurries into the Staples Center for the Grammy Awards. On Tuesday Kim was spotted sitting front row at the Stephane Rolland Spring 2014 Couture presentation and I figure she will wear a look from the designer if she does. This black long sleeved gown from the collection is probably the best look for her even though I would much rather her not wear anything from this occasion and save the fabulous looks for red carpet professionals for other major red carpet events. I figure she will wear a pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps and some totally unneeded over the top jewelry to complete her ensemble. Please Kim stay home!
