2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish List Part 1

Ladies and gentlemen strap yourselves in and prepare for the onslaught of two Oscar party wish lists a day for the next week. I am combining my wishes for the two biggest parties on Oscar night the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party and the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Kicking off my wishes is Academy Award nominee, and probable winner, Alicia Vikander. I am betting that she will wear a custom Louis Vuitton gown for the red carpet but I am also betting that she will change for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party after the ceremony. I picked this vintage floral print Alexander McQueen Spring 2016 one shoulder chiffon gown for Alicia because I can picture her wearing this gown as a relaxed look after the big red carpet. This look would be perfectly accessorized with a pair of gold sandals, red lip, Louis Vuitton fine jewelry drop earrings, & an Oscar statuette for the

Vanity Fair red carpet.

We will be seeing Allison Williams on the red carpet on Oscar night at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party where is is one of the event's many celebrity co-chairs. Allison is one of the lovely ladies of television that I adore seeing on the red carpet and I think that she will shut the red carpet down. I am almost expecting to see her in something custom from Lanvin, Oscar de la Renta, or Altuzarra but I would fall over if she were to wear this amazing Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture sleeveless hand painted floral print ballgown. I have been wanting to see this gown on the red carpet and I think that Allison would be a vision in this gown on the Elton John party. A chic romantic updo, a pink lip, and gold pumps would finish this look off perfectly.

I usually adore seeing Amanda Seyfried on the red carpet and I am really hoping that the actress will be out on Oscar night at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. If she does I would love to see her wearing this pale pink Givenchy Spring 2016 Couture draped halter gown which features crocodile leather detailing along the side cutouts. I think that this gown is chic, modern, and elegant which is exactly what I think about when I think of Amanda's red carpet style. Keep this look chic with a pair of gold sandals, a diamond bracelet, & a sleek updo to ensure that Amanda has a winning red carpet look.

Amber Heard was a vision in custom Gucci at the Golden Globe Awards at the kick off of awards season and I am hoping to see her make the full round by attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Amber was part of the ensemble cast of The Danish Girl and has been making her rounds this season promoting the film as well as with her husband Johnny Depp. For Vanity Fair I would love to see Amber wearing this Miu Miu Pre-Fall 2016 draped gown with a beautiful print. I think that this is something that Amber would look absolutely stunning wearing, and it is something that I can picture her snatching this gown off the runway. A matching dark green satin clutch, a pair of gold pumps, a vintage inspired hairstyle, and a red lip will ensure that Amber had a killer moment on the red carpet.

One of the people that I am really hoping to see on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar party is Amy Adams. Amy always kills it on the red carpet and with three movies come out this year I am sure we will be seeing her on a lot of red carpets keeping up appearances. Last year Amy wore a strapless light blue Atelier Versace gown for the Vanity Fair party and I am hoping that she goes back to Versace again as she has had some of her best red carpet moments in the brand. I would love to see Amy wearing this strapless white Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture mermaid gown for this years Vanity Fair party as she really does work fitted classic looks really well and I think that the white gown would just look so ethereal on her, in a modern sexy way since that is the only way Versace knows how to do. Add a pop of color via a bold clutch, silver sandals, a statement diamond necklace, red lip, and old Hollywood waves to finish this look off perfectly for Amy.

2014 Young Hollywood Awards Wish List Part 1

Allison Williams is nominated for Fan Favorite Female Actor at the Young Hollywood Awards that will take place on July 28th. With so much going on in the upcoming month and a half I decided to start these wishes early. The "Girls" star favors girlie grown up styles with a hint of edge. This electric blue Dion Lee Resort 2015 draped cocktail dress would be a perfect choice for the 26 year old actress to make for this red carpet. As one of the older stars, yes 26 is old for this red carpet, I figure Allison will bring the sophistication as we are bound to see many colorful mini dresses on the red carpet. I would pair this dress with a pair of silver sandals to give it a fun shoe and have Allison opt to go clutch-less for the night to complete this red carpet ensemble.

30 year old Aubrey Plaza is nominated at the Young Hollywood Awards on July 28th in the "Cuz You're Funny" category. Pitted against some very funny company. For this awards show I would love to see Aubrey wear this black and red Proenza Schouler Resort 2015 aline cocktail dress. The print and the sporty style of this dress make it perfect for a young Hollywood party. A red Rawoulf clutch and a pair of simple black sandals would give Aubrey the perfect ensembles to fit right on in with all of the young twenty somethings and teenie boppers that will be in attendance.

Bella Thorne is one of those teenie boppers I was talking about. At 16, Bella fits the bill of Young Hollywood. Nominated for the "You're So Fancy" and "#SocialMediaSuperstar" awards at the Young Hollywood Awards later this month, there is no doubting that Bella will be in attendance. Having worked a Versace Pre-Fall 2014 dress to the MTV Movie Awards earlier this year I would like to see what else Bella and Versace could to together. That is why I looked to the Versace Fall 2014 RTW collection and picked this teal draped mini dress embellished with six gold Medusa head buttons. I think that this is sexy yet age appropriate for the star who would most likely ad gold pumps to not make it look like she is trying to be older than she is.

And last but not least for today we have Chloe Grace Moretz. Despite being seated front row at the Armani Prive Fall 2014 Couture presentation earlier this week, which defiantely showcased quite a few looks perfect for young Hollywood, I am going to pick something from Valentino for the budding fashionista. Also nominate for "Fan Favorite Female Actor" the 17 year old would look stunning in this Valentino Resort 2015 multi colored lace striped mini dress. This striped look is one of the biggest trends that came out of the Resort 2015 collections and I am really excited becuase I love seeing patterns on the red carpet. A pair of simple Stuart Weizmann 'Nudist' sandals and a pink clutch would finish this look off perfectly for the young starlet for the Young Hollywood Awards.

2014 Met Ball: Allison Williams, Beyonce, Camilla Belle, Diane Kruger, and Elizabeth Banks Wish List

Allison Williams from the hit HBO series 'Girls' made her first Met Ball appearance in 2012 wearing bland Ralph Lauren gown, and I was not a fan of her punk-inspired Altuzzara gown at last years event. So I am hoping that she will wow me this year, like I know that she can give me an amazing look on the red carpet. I think that this Marchesa Fall 2014 RTW gown with an embroidered cap-sleeve top black waistband and cornflower blue silk skirt would look amazing. Charles James, the inspiration behind this years gala, was known for his grand structured designs and I think that this Marchesa creation would fit right in amongst his stunning silk ballgowns. Finish the look with stunning diamond ear cuffs, black simple sandals, a red lip, and an old Hollywood updo to ensure that Allison looks theme appropriate!

The Queen of the Music World Beyonce has rocked amazing Givenchy Haute Couture ensembles at the past two Met Balls, and while the partnership has been absolutely amazing I am hoping that she will give us something different. This red Versace Fall 2014 RTW gown with gold embroidery would be an amazing statement for Beyonce to make. It's a lot more toned down than she has rocked in the past few years but I think that we will see a lot of that with the 'Charles James' theme of this years event. I would make sure that this gown has a dramatic train that will photograph exceptionally as she ascends that grand stair of the Metropolitan Museum of Art early next month. A pair of gold sandals, sexy waves in her hair, and a red lip will give Queen Bey a stunning yet sexy look for this event.

One person that I usually look forward to seeing take to the red carpet at the Met Ball is Camilla Belle. I have recently realized that I have no idea why she is famous but she shows up to red carpet events and looks absolutely stunning. One brand that Camilla tends to wear a lot of on the red carpet is Carolina Herrera and I think that she should snatch up this amazing red Carolina Herrera Fall 2014 RTW origami structured ball gown. While this gowns skirt might seem a little stiff in this picture, it actually moves very well and would glide elegantly up the red carpet of the Met. A red clutch, a pair of red peep toe pumps, statement diamond and ruby earrings and a chic up-do will finish off this look for Camilla and give her the perfect look for the 2014 Met Ball.

Diane Kruger is one of the women that I always die for on the red carpet. There is almost never a time that I have not fallen in love with one of Diane's red carpet looks. With this gala being focused around the grand sculptural designs of Charles James I am sure that Diane will give us a major red carpet moment. This Giambattista Valli Spring 2014 Couture gown with blue floral embellishments on the bodice and a white skirt with a bold peplum would give me that major red carpet moment that I am praying for. While most would reserve this for a much taller girl, Diane is only 5'7", I think that she would rock the hell out of it. A blue clutch, silver sandals, and a red lip would finish this look off.

Elizabeth Banks usually grabs an Atelier Versace gown for the annual Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala, and I don't see that changing this year. I think that this ice blue one shoulder Atelier Versace Spring 2014 Couture gown with sequins, chest cutouts, and a split up to there is exactly what Elizabeth should rock for this years gala. It's a sexy yet elegant silhouette that Elizabeth pulls off quite well. There is just a magic when Elizabeth puts on the legendary sexy brand, and I 9.5 times out of 10 put her on a best dressed list in their designs. A silver Edie Parker clutch, a pair of metallic silver Casadei pointed toe pumps, statement diamond earrings, a bold diamond cuff, and her hair worn elegantly in Veronica Lake waves over one shoulder would finish off Elizabeth giving her a sexy look to take to the red carpet in on May 5th.

2013 CFDA Awards Wish List Part 1

 The Council of Fashion Designers of America, or the CFDA as it is known, gathers at Lincoln Center every June to celebrate designers in American fashion. This year the ceremony will take place at the home of New York Fashion week on June 3, 2013. Now all of the ladies that are going to be features over the next few days in this list are not confirmed to attend and will not be until I see them walking the red carpet at the event. I have chosen each lady based on past relationships with CFDA members and nominated designers. Allison Williams has stepped out wearing Oscar de la Renta several time in the past year since she has made her mark on the fashion world. Oscar will be receiving The Founders Award in Honor of Eleanor Lambert and Allison would be the perfect date for the classic designer. This lime green gown with grape purple embroidery from the Oscar de la Renta Resort 2013 collection would be the best option for Allison as it is her classic sophisticated style to the T. Pair this gown with just a pair of simple gold sandals, a gold bracelet, and a classic up do and Allison will make her mark on the CFDA red carpet.

 Anna Wintour is the only woman that is 100% attending the 2013 CFDA Awards as the Council is partnered with Vogue to help launch the careers of promising young New York based designers like Alexander Wang, Prabal Gurung, and Jason Wu. For this event Anna usually wears a business like knee length sheath dress made my an American designer like Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, or Marc Jacobs so many of you might be puzzled as to why I have chosen to put her in this black and grey Balenciaga Fall 2013 RTW dress which is a French fashion house. Well in January the house announced that its new creative director is former CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award winner and multi time CFDA Award winner Alexander Wang. So I would not be surprised if the famous Vogue Editor in Chief wore a design by him. What would surprise me is if she doesnt wear her standard nude Manolo Blahnik 'AW' sandals and her beaded necklaces.

 Cat Deeley has selected a Monique Lhuillier gown for several of her major red carpet appearances in the past year. Cat wore gowns by the designer for the Emmy Awards and the Costume Designers Guild Awards among many others. If she were to attends as the guest of the designer who would just be attending as a member of the CFDA if she chose to attend I would love to see Cat wear this amazing white patterned Monique Lhuillier Fall 2013 RTW gown. She is one of the few ladies that I have been able to picture wearing this gown on the red carpet and I know she would have no trouble pulling of the glam that this look requires. Complete this look with a gold metallic clutch, gold sandals, and her hair pulled back would create a winning look for this red carpet.

 While I am usually a fan of Christina Ricci on the red carpet lately she has been underwhelming me so I am hoping that she redeems herself on the red carpet of the CFDA Awards if she was to attend this year. I would love to see her wear CFDA member and Women's Wear Designer of the Year nominee Marc Jacobs silver sequin gown from the Fall 2013 RTW collection. I was surprised that not more of this collection was worn for the Met Ball this year but Christina would look fantastic in this liquid sliver gown. Complete the look with a black Edie Parker clutch and some black peep toe pumps and Christina will dazzle and sparkle on the red carpet at the 2013 CFDA Awards

It would not surprise me if Claire Danes attends the 2013 CFDA Awards with designer and friend Ricardo Tisci the creative director at Givenchy who will be receiving the International Award. This is the one chance, besides possibly Anna Wintour, that we have a shot at seeing a non-American based brand on the red carpet. I decided to dig into the Givenchy archives to pick this amazing gold Givenchy Spring 2008 Couture completely embellished cocktail dress. I have been in love with this dress since the first time I saw it on the runway and I am surprised that this didn't get picked up for an Awards Show, Met Ball, or Film Festival in the past but you know what they say you snooze you loose. I would pair this dress with a pair of gold Jimmy Choo 'Lance' sandals and a loose up do would complete this absolutely stunning ensemble.
