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.

Red Carpet Predictions: "While We're Young" NYC Premire

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.

2013 Met Ball: Film Stars Wish List Part 1

2013 Academy Awards: Presenter Wish List Part 2

Amanda Seyfried will be attending this years nominated not only supporting her Best Picture nominated film 'Les Miserables' but will perform in the 'Celebration of Musicals of the Last Decade' which will be a special feature during the show highlighting Oscar nominated musicals 'Chicago,' 'Dreamgirls' and "Les Miserables' with musical performances from each of these films by their original cast members. I would love to see her wear this smoke grey and black Armani Prive Spring 2013 Couture ball gown. Amanda usually looks her best when she is wearing darker ensembles and I think that this gown would look amazing on her. Just some simple jewelry and silver grey satin pumps would make this look perfect.

Catherine Zeta-Jones has been announced as one of the presenters at this years awards as well as a performer in the Musicals tribute and I am actually really excited what she has in store for the red carpet. I am not entirely sure if she will wow me but I am trying to hold out hope. If she wears Monique Lhuillier or Elie Saab I think I would be pleasantly surprised at how she looks. I think that if she were to wear this malachite green gown that she would look exceptionally stunning and it would be a grand surprise as you don't see many printed gowns at the Oscars. Gold accessories would be the perfect compliment to this look.

Nicole Kidman has been having a lot of fun with fashion since she started prepping for her role as Grace Kelly in her latest project. Well for the 2013 Academy Awards I would love to see her wear this midnight and electric blue gown from the Armani Prive Fall 2012 Couture collection. I think that Nicole is one of the few statuesque beauties who has the height required to pull off this gown. Finish with a blue clutch, the blue sandals, and some stunning jewelery.

If there is one person that I am really not looking forward to seeing on the red carpet it is Rene Zellweger. I personally do not think that she is pretty at all and she is almost 100% of the time wearing a Carolina Herrera gown. For the 2013 Academy Awards I am predicting that Rene will wear this black Carolina Herrera Fall 2013 RTW gown with sequined sleeves. This with statement earrings, a black clutch, and black pumps are what I am expecting her to wear.

Sandra Bullock has really undergone a red carpet transformation since the year she won her Oscar for 'The Blind Side.' For this years Academy Awards, where Sandy will be one of the presenters, I would LOVE to see her wear this stunning coral Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture gown. I did a consensus of my friends and they did not see it so try to envision it the way I am about to describe it. First she has to wear her hair in a tight slick high pony tail. Then pair this with a gold clutch and a pair of gold sandals and I think that this would become a wonderful red carpet moment.

2013 Berlin Film Festival: 'Les Miserables' Premiere Wish List

Amanda Seyfried has been the person that has really brought it on the red carpet constantly making it onto the best dressed lists at the awards season events and with a special premiere of 'Les Miserables' at the Berlin Film Festival she is one that I am most looking forward to seeing take to the red carpet. I think that this periwinkle Elie Saab Spring 2013 Couture gown would look amazing on Amanda and would be weather and event appropriate. Finish this look with a metallic silver minaudiere and silver pumps and I will 100% be in love with this look.

Anne Hathaway has been making some extremely questionable choices for red carpet dress as of late and I am not quite sure why as she was on a roll at the end of last year. I think that this black Chanel Spring 2013 Couture tiered ball gown would be perfect for her for this event. I do not know what lies beneath the jacket that it is paired with on the runway but I imagine that it is a sleeveless gown. Pair this with a black Chanel satin clutch and some black satin peep toes as well as some stunning cluster earrings and this may just redeem her to put her back in good red carpet standing.

Top 10 Best Dressed at the Screen Actors Guild Awards

2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards Wish List: Presenters Part 1

Amanda Seyfried has not yet been announced as a presenter (most of the stars haven't!) but as she is part of the cast of 'Les Miserables' which is nominated for Best Ensemble Cast for the film I believe it is a safe bet to say that she will be there. I would like to see her wear this pale pink Valentino Spring 2013 RTW gown. I think that this gown is truly in Amanda's style and she is one of the few that could pull this off. Hair pulled back into a bun, and gold accessories would keep this from going into washed out nude blob territory.

Kerry Washington is going to be one of the presenters tomorrow night at the SAG Awards and I am always looking forward to seeing what Kerry brings to the red carpet as she is very unpredictable. As a presenter I would love to see her wear this raspberry Zuhair Murad Spring 2013 RTW peplum gown. It is simple but on Kerry it would give ultimate impact. She should finish this off with a statement necklace, gold box clutch, and gold peep toe pumps to help give it that Kerry flair.

At last year's SAG Awards Rose Byrne took to the red carpet in a daring white Elie Saab Couture embellished jumpsuit which really was her 'I Have Arrived' moment. For this years SAG Awards I would love to see her wear this light pink and black Chanel Fall 2012 Couture ankle length dress. She proved at the Academy Awards last year that she is one of the few that can pull off this length and not look a like the dress is too short. Pair this dress with a black clutch, black sandals, and minimal jewelry and she has another winning look.

Stacy Keibler will do doubt be on George Clooney's arm as they enter the 2013 SAG Awards. Of all of George's girlfriends Stacy has been my favorite to watch while they are still together. For this event I would love to see her wear this ivory embellished Romona Kevesa Spring 2013 RTW gown. I think that this is perfect for someone who is attending as the guest of someone with such a high profile. Finish the look with a silver Edie Parker clutch, silver sandals, and some vintage inspired diamond jewelery and she is set to wow me.

At last years Screen Actors Guild Awards Viola Davis took home the Best Actress award and will be on hand this year as a presenter. I would love to see Viola wear this art deco Egyptian inspired Badgley Mischka Pre-Fall 2013 gown. Viola tends to favor very simple gowns with little to no embellishments and I think that this is just a little outside her sparkle comfort zone but would look stunning on her. Add a black and gold Judith Leiber crystal embellished clutch, black pumps, and simple gold jewelry and she will be radiant.

2013 Directors Guild Awards Wish List

 Even though Amanda Seyfried may not be nominated for her acting for 'Les Miserables' but she has been on hand at all the awards shows to represent the film. If she continues to do so we are sure to see her at the 2013 Directors Guild Awards. For this award show I would love to see her wear this Nina Ricci Spring 2013 RTW dress. I am not one to usually pick an all black dress but the fabrics and structure of this dress make it something that would be a stellar red carpet look. Finish it with a black embellished clutch, black sandals, and some simple diamond jewelry and the look is complete.

 

 Anne Hathaway is one of my red carpet favorites on the red carpet especially since she chopped off all her hair and has been wearing looks that she would never have picked before. I am sticking to this new edgy Annie by wishing that she will wear this white Azzaro Spring 2013 RTW jumpsuit for the 2013 Directors Guild Awards if she does attend like I believe that she will. Finish this edgy look with just a pair of silver crystal embellished Christian Louboutin heels as the look doesn't need much to accessorize it.

 Here we have an If I Was A Stylist first a wish for a man. Through the promotional tour of 'Les Miserables' and the start of the 2013 Awards Season, Eddie Redmayne has wowed me on the red carpet because he so often strays from the plain black suit with a white shirt and black tie that has become the red carpet uniform for male celebrities on the red carpet. For the 2013 Directors Guild Awards I would love to see Eddie wear this white and grey print Alexander McQueen Spring 2013 RTW jacket. The printed pants may be too much for the eyes but this jacket paired with a pair of the same style pants in black, a white dress shirt, and a black and white striped tie would be amazing. I love that Eddie has fun with fashion as there are many runway looks that are shown for men that never see a red carpet or even the light of a boutique. 

 As this will most likely be Ben Affleck's night, I am sure that his loyal wife Jennifer Garner will be on hand to walk the red carpet with him. As she is not in a nominated film I feel that this black Badgley Mischka Pre-Fall 2013 dress with gold Art Deco beading would be an appropriate choice and would stunning on Jen. Finish this look with a gold Jimmy Choo tube clutch and black pointy toe Jimmy Choo pumps and she will look stunning.

And finishing a trio of black dresses I have a wish for Jessica Chastain to wear this black beaded Antonio Bearadi Spring 2013 RTW dress. I think that this dress is simple yet edgy and sophisticated all in one one design. Finish off this look with a pair of statement heels and sleek hair and I will fall in love with this ensemble.

2013 Critics Choice Awards Wish List Part 1

The Critics Choice Awards is the first major red carpet awards ceremony of the 2013 Awards Season. Coinciding with the announcement of the 2013 Academy Award Nominations on January 10th I am looking forward to seeing all the stars step out in their red carpet glam for the award show. Amanda Seyfried is not directly nominated for an award but her film 'Les Miserables' is nominated for Best Acting Ensemble and Best Picture. Amanda could end up attending the event as just a guest or a presenter. I wold love to see her wear this black Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2013 gown. I think that this gown is extremely elegant and show stopping without the power to upstage her nominated co-stars as well as the other nominees. Pair this gown with a gold and black Alexander McQueen clutch, a gold cuff, and some black and gold pumps and she is set to wow on the red carpet.

Anne Hathaway has been wowing me on the red carpet since she has cut off all of her hair. The edgy pixie cut that she did for her role as Fantine in 'Les Miserables' has given Anne a whole new look on the red carpet wearing edgy looks that she never would have looked at in the past. I would love to see Anne wear this amazing teal J. Mendel Spring 2013 RTW gown for the 2013 Critics Choice Awards. Anne is nomnated for Best Supporting Actress for 'Les Miserables' and has a running chance at winning the award. I would love to see her walk home with the Critcs Choice Award and a Best Dressed Award. Pair tis gown with a silver box clutch, some silver or teal strappy sandals, and some amazing Chopard diamonds and she is set to stun whether she takes home the trophy or not.

Also nominated for Best Supporting Actress with Anne Hathaway, is Amy Adams for her film 'The Master.' I would love to see Amy wow me, but she is either a huge hit or she is a big flop for me on the red carpet there is rarely an in between with Amy. For this event I have chosen this 1920's inspired gown from one of Amy's go to designers L'Wren Scott's Spring 2013 RTW collection. I have to say that L'Wren Scott designs have almost become stale on the red carpet because of people like Nicole Kidman who wear every look in the collection and they all have the same design ascetic. This is one of the few that I am in love with. Amy would pair this gown with a black clutch and some black Brian Atwood 'Wagner' pumps.

Elle Fanning is not one of my favorites on the red carpet. Since her debut on the red carpet in 2010 I have not been in love with one of her looks. This is because she tends to wear things that are either down right ugly or they wash her out. I had a hard time trying to pick a gown for Elle, but I ultimately decided upon this Valentino Spring 2013 RTW gown. Elle wears these 1970's style gowns often and the style can usually work but the styling usually doesn't. First of all I would love to see Elle dye her hair back to the red color she was sporting last summer as it helps not wash her out. Then the styling would be a bold purple clutch, and some black strappy sandals. If she takes my advice she very well may end up hearing high praises from me as she walks the red carpet at this event.

Amanda Seyfried 'Les Miserables' Premieres Wish List

Amanda Seyfried plays the daughter of Fantine, played by Anne Hathaway, in the upcoming musical film Les Miserables. I am holding out hope that Amanda will wow on the red capret for the promotional tour for this film. Having already made one stop at the Hollywood Film Awards to honor the films priducers wearing a stunning tangeine Prabal Gurung cocktail dress I do believe that this is possible. For the London premiere of this film I would love to see Amanda wear this amazing classic red Valentino Fall 2012 Couture gown. This gown is elegant and demure which is the epitome of Amanda's style. She has had a few misteps this year but I will say that I am excited to see what she brings to the table. For LA I would love to see her wear this navy blue and aqua Giorgio Armani Spring 2013 RTW gown. This is my favorite gown from this collection and possibly on of my favorite gowns from the Spring 2013 RTW collections so I am putting a lot of faith in Amanda not to disappoint me if she is to wear this stunning creation.

2012 Hollywood Film Awards Gala Wish List

Marion Cotillard is going to be attending the 2012 Hollywood Film Awards Gala as she is this years recipient of the Hollywood Actress Award for her film 'Rust and Bone' which first premiered in May at the Cannes Film Festival. The Christian Dior spokesmodel will do doubt be wearing a Dior creation for this event. I would love to see her wear this amazing black sequined dress with a sheer tulle overlay. I think that this dress is amazing for the French star. Finish this look off with just a simple pair of black peep toe pumps, a silver box clutch, and some amazing jewelry and she will shine on her night.

Amy Adams is also being reconized at the 2012 Hollywood Film Awards Gala with the Hollywood Supporting Actress Award for her work in 'The Master.' The recipients of the awards usually dons some amazing gowns and I would love to see Amy wear this amazing black and white Gianfranco Ferre Spring 2013 RTW gown. I think that Amy would look absolutely amazing in this gown that is classic yet modern all at the same time. I would not pair this gown with the bronze belt that it was paired with on the runway and just send it with just the gown. Add a pair of black strappy sandals and a black Edie Parker clutch and this look is ready to take the red carpet and stage by storm.

Amanda Seyfried's next hit film, the movie version of the hit Broadway musical Les Miserables, is being honored at this years Hollywood Film Awards and I am hoping that she will be in attendance. I have a love hate relationship with what Amanda wears on the red carpet because sometime I feel like she tries so hard to be edgy when in reality should stick to classic looks. That is why I have chosen this white Prabal Gurung Spring 2013 RTW dress with a flowing chiffon caplet. This dress is simple and elegant and a perfect choice for Amanda. She is one of the few extremely pale people that can get away with wearing white. Pair this with a pair of silver strappy Jimmy Choo sandals and a silver Edie Parker confetti clutch would be the perfect way to finish off this look

Anne Hathaway is also in Les Miserables and I would really like to see her walk the red carpet at this event. After cutting off her hair for the film I have to say that she has been rocking a very amazing sense of style. I have chosen this classic style Oscar de la Renta Spring 2013 RTW robins egg blue lace cocktail dress for her for the occasion. I think that if Anne were to don this dress that she would have an amazing Audrey Hepburn moment on the red carpet. Pair this dress with a simple pair of silver peep toe pumps, a silver Leiber clutch, and some diamond and pearl Tiffany and Co. earrings and the look would scream classic chic.

Jennifer Lawrence should be on hand to help honor her 'Silver Linings Playlist' costar Bradley Cooper with his Hollywood Actor Award and the films director who is reciving the Hollywood Director Award. Even though Jennifer has just been announced as a new face of Miss Dior I am wishing that she will wear this rust and cream Bottega Veneta Spring 2013 RTW fringe dress. To fulfill her brand ambassador duties to Dior I would have her pick a cream Dior clutch, and some Christian Louboutin rust or bronze peep toe pumps to complete this ensemble.

Keira Knightley's film 'Anna Karenina' is being honored. The star and face of Chanel has not worn nearly enough of the brand this year and for this event I would love to see her wear this amazing blue embellished Chanel Spring 2012 Couture cocktail dress. This dress is out of Keira's normal comfort zone as it is very bright but I think that it would be an amazing choice for her. Pair this with silver pumps and a silver clutch and she is set to go.

Kerry Washington is a star of the new Quentin Tarantino film 'Django Unchained' for which he is receiving the screenplay award. I would love to see Kerry wear this black Valentino Fall 2012 Couture draped dress with gold metallic details. Finish this look off with a black and gold clutch and some black strappy sandals and she will no doubt make it on my best dressed list.
