2015 Grammy Awards: Performers Wish List

Gwen Stefani is set to perform at the Grammy Awards tomorrow night with Maroon 5. Their song "My Heart is Open" is a soft a brokenhearted love ballad. I figure that Maroon 5 will perform another of their hit songs, then Gwen will join in to perform "My Heart is Open," then we will get our first taste of Gwen's album that is set to be released later this year. To do so I would love to see Gwen wear this amazing silver beaded fringe long sleeve Balmain Pre-Fall 2015 trapeze cocktail dress. This is a perfect look for a performer. It has movement, sparkle and impact. A pair of black pumps and a rep lip are just the finishing touches that are needed to complete this perfect Grammy Awards performance ensemble for Gwen.

I always love to see Jessie J perform. She is a spitfire performer, a true diva. Tomorrow night at the Grammy Awards, Jessie J will be performing with the iconic Tom Jones for a once in a lifetime collaboration. This is going to be an amazing performance, I can just feel it. Jessie rocks a catsuit like no other and I think that this silver beaded striped Christian Dior Spring 2015 Couture catsuit is absolutely perfect for a Grammy Awards performance. Its sexy yet still sophisticated which is exactly what Jessie is all about. A pair of silver pumps would just round out this look for the Grammy stage.

Lady Gaga gave us our first taste of the Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture collection at the MusicCares Person of the Year Gala. I have a feeling that is not going to be the last gown from the collection that we see Gaga wear this weekend. Her work with Tony Bennett has definitely affected how Gaga dresses and I am loving this way turned down version of herself that she is putting out. Since the music on their Grammy nominated album "Cheek to Cheek" is all classic jazz style I would love to see Gaga wear this silver crystal embellished Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture gown with sheer paneling to perform with Tony during the Grammy telecast on Sunday night. I think that the sleek elegant yet still overt sexiness of this gown is perfect for Gaga and the Grammy Awards. A pair of silver pumps and something to make it Gaga would just finish this performance look perfectly.

Rihanna will perform her new single "FourFiveSeconds" on the Grammy Awards telecast on Sunday night with Kanye West and Paul McCartney. I am really excited to see this performance as I am totally obsessed with this song. In the video, Rihanna goes for normcore realness in a denim jacket, jeans, and work boots. I am going for the same feel with this Altuzzara Pre-Fall 2015 utilitarian chic jumpsuit. I would keep this look Grammy ready with having Rihanna with a full head of long curly locks, a red lip, and a pair of spiked Christian Louboutin pumps. This keeps the normcore chic that was projected with the video but elevates it for probably the most important performance of the song that RiRi will give.

2014 Toronto International Film Festival Wish List Part 2

Greta Gerwig is quickly becoming a fashion darling. This year alone she has worn custom Donna Karan Atelier, Lanvin, Theory, Narciso Rodriguez, and Stella McCartney, attended a few dinners hosted by Chanel, and was the date of Zac Posen at the CFDA Awards. This just makes me that much more excited to see what Greta is going to keep bringing to the red carpet. Greta will be making the film festival rounds promoting her film "Eden" starting at the Toronto International Film Festival. For the "Eden" premiere I would love to see Greta wear this green Stella McCartney Fall 2014 RTW strapless bustier and tapered pant ensemble. I love this bustier that features draping of not just fabric but the signature fringe of Stella's Fall 2014 collection. There have not been many successful outings of this collection but I do think that Greta can pull this look of with great aplomb. I would keep the styling simple with a pair of dyed to match forest green pointed toe pumps and a gold minaudiere clutch so that the focus is mostly on the stunning bustier.

While I have to say that I am most interested in what "Men, Women, & Children" leading male, Ansel Elgort, will wear for the TIFF premiere of the film, I am also hoping that Jennifer Garner will take to the red carpet to premiere the film as well. I tend to believe that Jennifer looks her best when she is wearing Oscar de la Renta and I am hoping that she will wear the designer for this premiere. Now I am sure that you will see this a lot on the blog in the coming days, but I figure that Jenn will grab a hot off the runway look from the designer as he is presenting his Spring 2015 Collection this coming week. If she wears something that has already been presented I would love to see her wear this blue and green polka dot on silk tulle Oscar de la Renta FALL (sorry it was a typo in the image editing) 2014 RTW collection. If I know Jennifer's style well enough I know that she would pair this look with a pair of black pumps and some simple jewels to finish off this look for the red carpet.

I know very little when it comes to Holliday Grainger's red carpet style and even less about her acting abilities. I do know that she is a British born actress who has had some rolls in "The Borgias" and "Great Expectations." Next year Holliday will have to hold her own on the red carpet next to Cate Blanchett while they promote "Cinderella" with Lily James and Helena Bonham Carter. I figure we will see Holliday represent a British brand when she premieres her film "The Riot Club" at TIFF this year. This strapless Nicholas Oakwell Spring 2014 Couture tea length gown embellished with white and pink beaded florals would be a sweet elegant choice for Holliday to wear for her first major major red carpet. I would finish this look with a pair of hot pink pumps and a sleek hairstyle to ensure that Holliday wears the gown and the gown does not wear her.

We are about to see a whole hell of a lot of Natalie Dormer on the red carpet. The "Game of Thrones" actress is presenting "The Riot Club" at TIFF and then will go on to promote "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1." I can honestly say that I am very excited to see what Natalie is going to bring to the red carpet coming up. For the most part Natalie has worn British brands on the red carpet and it will be interesting to see if she keeps it up. I am predicting that for the TIFF premiere of "The Riot Club" Natalie should wear this Roksanda Resort 2015 cocktail dress that consists of a bright yellow and navy sculpted one shoulder blouse and navy tone on tone pencil skirt. Natalie has the presence to ensure that this dress would overwhelm her. Paired with a pair of nude pumps, a sleek hairstyle, and a pink lip Natalie would rock the TIFF premiere of "The Riot Club"

We have not seen much of Amanda Seyfried on the red carpet since the 2013 Awards season where she promoted "Les Miserables" with the rest of her cast, so I was really excited to see her name amongst those that have films premiering at TIFF. When it is not Awards Season or the Met Ball we tend to see Amanda rock shorter lengths and that is probably what she will do when it comes to the TIFF premiere of her film "While We're Young" but I have remained optimistic and decided to pick this light sky blue Nina Ricci Resort 2015 gown with a shirred blouse. This is a simple gown that directly relates to Amanda's laid back sense of style. I could also see this gown being shortened to a cocktail dress if Amanda so deemed it worthy. A gold clutch and gold pumps would be the simple accessories that I would add for this gown. Finishing the look with a fresh face of simple makeup and a simple updo to showcase all the bodice detail would be the way to go to ensure that Amanda ends up on every best dressed list.

Naomi Watts has either made my heart skip a beat or made me want to hide my head in shame when she has taken to the red carpet this year. I am hoping that when she steps out for the TIFF premiere of her film "While We're Young" with Amanda Seyfried that Naomi makes my heart skip a beat. I would have that moment if she were to wear this stunning cream Altuzzara Resort 2015 draped gown. It looks as if the fabric that this gown is made in is very stiff and I think that means that it has to be impeccably tailored for Naomi so that it doesn't end up looking like a giant potato sack on Naomi. If she has this gown tailored and pairs it with a statement gold sandals and a gold clutch, sleek hair, and a red lip then I believe that Naomi would shut down the TIFF red carpet with a stunning ensemble.

2014 AFI Awards Wish List Part 2

It looks like Sandra Bullock is going to ride the 'Gravity' train all the way to the Academy Awards and one of her stops will most likely be the 2014 AFI awards where the film is one of the honorees for Film of the Year. For this luncheon ceremony I would love to see Sandy wear this amazing rust, burnt orange, and grey Altuzzara Pre-Fall 2014 color blocked sheath dress. This is a look that would look so elegant on Sandra. Now Sandy has some amazing shoe game always rocking new awesome pairs of shoes and very few simple black pumps. Finish the look with a pair of nude and metallic gold Aquazzura pumps and sleek straight locks will complete this perfect ensemble.

'Her' is the film with the largest amount of stars. I am not saying that they are all going to show up but I am going to make a wish for each and every one of the 3 major stars. Olivia Wilde is one of those stars. Olivia recently announced that she was expecting her first child with fiance Jason Sudeikis and I am expecting some amazing looks from her come awards season, especially after her bright blue David Koma dress at the 'Her' LA Premiere. I think that this navy blue Gucci Pre-Fall 2014 pant suit paired with a black menswear inspired button down. Style the look with a pair of black Gucci 'Viola' open toe pumps, a black Gucci 'Hollywood' clutch with gold hardware, and a selection of layered gold necklaces to ensure a sexy and sophisticated maternity look for Olivia.

Rooney Mara is also in 'Her' and will most likely be in attendance at the 2014 AFI Awards. Rooney usually sticks to black or white on the red carpet and instead of changing her style I am going to pick a black dress for her for this red carpet. This black Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2014 cocktail dress with a scoop neck and a voluminous skirt. This dress is something that I can see Rooney wearing as she has worn similar dresses from the likes of Louis Vuitton and J. Mendel. Finish this look with a pair of simple black Saint Laurent 'Janis' sandals and her signature deep berry lip color to complete her ensemble. 

The final star on this wish list is also from 'Her.' Scarlett Johanson is not seen in the film but her voice is heard as the voice inside the tablet which is the focus of the story. For this event I expect to see ScarJo wear something amazing as she isn't taking home any nominations, except for one from the Broadcast Critics Association. This black and white David Koma Spring 2014 RTW dress that features color blocking and a white sheer yoke and short sleeves would be a perfect choice for the actress for the 2014 AFI Awards. This is a sophisticated yet still modern look that on Scarlett would just shine. Finish the look with a pair of Jimmy Choo 'Kahlua' black pumps with a silver pointed cap toe and a red lip and ScarJo will have a perfect look for the 2014 AFI Awards.

2014 Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala Wish List

Amy Adams is a member of the cast of 'American Hustle' which will be reciveing the Ensemble Cast Award at the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala which will kick off awards season on January 4th 2014. The Palm Springs Awards Gala really kicks off the major awards this year but it is different than most because the honorees are announced in the 2 months prior to the event. With a cocktail attire or fancier dress code this is one of the more dressed down events where most ladies don shorter ensembles and have fun. I would love to see one of my favorite Hollywood red heads wear this amazing gold lame Altuzzara Spring 2014 RTW cocktail dress which features a side slit and a plunging neck. There is just something about this look that just makes me think of Amy and I am not quite sure what it is because it is not in her normal realm of style. Finish the look with a gold clutch and a pair of simple gold sandals and Amy will walk the carpet like she owns it.

Camila Alves will be on her husbands, Matthew McConaughey, arm as he receives his Desert Palm Achievement Award for his work in 'Dallas Buyers Club.' Camila has always stood next to Matt as he takes to the red carpet looking nothing short of a stunning trophy wife, though I am sure that she is much more than that. For this event I am going to wish that she wears this black Andrew Gn Resort 2014 knee length dress that features gold coral pattern embroidery and three quarter length sleeves. She really knows how to work a red carpet and I think that this would be the perfect look for her to wear for this event. Just add a simple pair of pointed toe Christian Louboutin black pumps and a red lip and Camila is ready to take the carpet by storm.

Jennifer Lawrence will also help pick up the Ensemble Cast Award for 'American Hustle' with co-star Amy Adams at the 2014 Palm Springs Film Festival. I am clawing to figure out what JLaw will wear for these red carpets because there isn't a whole lot of anything left from the Fall 2013 Couture or Spring 2014 RTW collections from Christian Dior, where she is the face of the brand, so I am re-posting a wish I made for her to wear for the LA Premiere of 'Catching Fire.' While I was highly impressed with her sheer grey Christian Dior Fall 2013 Couture gown on that red carpet I would still like to see Mrs Lawrence take to the red carpet in this tea length gown. Finish the look with a black clutch, a pair of black Saint Laurent 'Jane' sandals, and some simple Chopard diamonds will complete this look for this occasion.

Julia Roberts will be taking home the Spotlight Award at the 2014 Palm Spring Film Festival Awards Gala. The star known for her love of black an her menswear inspired layering should wear a modified version of this long sleeved Altuzzara Resort 2014 dress. I would close this dress up on the one side so there is no skin showing on her leg and remove the leather band around the breasts. Add a statement necklace from Van Cleef & Arpels and a pair of black and gold Saint Laurent 'Janis' metal-trim cap toe platform pump will complete this look for Julia and give her a look that I would actually enjoy seeing her in.

The performance that Lupita Nyong'o gave in '12 Years a Slave' is giving her the Breakthrough Performance Award at the 2014 Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala. So far since she stepped out on the scene in September Lupita has been able to snag looks from some of the worlds most coveted designers from brand new collections to custom creations to couture. For this awards show I would love to see the stunning Kenyan actress wear this copper colored Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2014 gown which is reminiscent of stuff out of the 1930's. A a bronze and brown Kotur art deco clutch as well as a pair of bronze Jimmy Choo sandals and simple earrings complete this look which is perfect for an emerging red carpet talent such as Lupita.

Last but certainly not least we have a wish for Desert Palm Achievement Award recipient for her work in 'Gravity' Sandra Bullock. There are two Sandra's that take to the red carpet. One is almost always on the best dressed lists and one is almost always blah. I am hoping that best dressed Sandy is out on the red carpet on January 4th for the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala. If she were to don this green, blue, and goldenrod Aquilano.Rimondi Spring 2014 RTW dress then I be believe that Sandy would look absolutely stunning on the red carpet. A simple satin black Prada box clutch, a pair of mustard yellow Charlotte Olympia pointed toe platform pumps, and some simple Bulgari jewelery will make for the perfect look for Sandy for the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala on Jan 4th.

2013 AFI Fest: 'Her' Screening Wish List
