#Emmys2015: Oustanding Actress in a Lead Role in a Comedy Nominee Wish List

The comedy stars rarely hit high notes on the red carpet and I am not expecting much aside from that. Amy Poehler tends to stick to very basic looks on the red carpet and many of her looks are black. I picked this J. Mendel Fall 2015 RTW silk crepe gown which features a plunging neckline, high center split, and gold silk lame inserts for Amy to wear for the last Emmy Awards where she will be nominated for "Parks & Recreation." Some people are predicting that Amy will walk away from this years ceremony with her first trophy for her last performance in the show, so Amy needs to make sure that she is on point. Finished with black peep toe pumps and a gold clutch and this look will be perfectly on point for the Emmy Awards red carpet.

Amy Schumer showed off her burgeoning red carpet chops as she promoted her latest film "Trainwreck." I am interested to see what she will wear on the red carpet for the Emmy Awards. This will mark the first time that the funny lady will be on the red carpet at the Primetime Emmy Awards so I wonder if she will go big or go home, or will she stick to a simple look. Amy's red carpet MO is usually short and tight, not the standard of dress for the Emmy Awards. I think that this red one shouldered Badgley Mischka Fall 2015 RTW flowing silk gown is a perfect red carpet ensemble for her first Emmy's red carpet. I am having a battle with myself over whether or not that Amy should wear the gold bejeweled belt but I also think that disrupting a fluid silhouette would section Amy off and that just wouldn't be a good look. A gold clutch, a pair of gold sandals, and a chic bun would finish this look off perfectly for Amy's first Emmy Awards red carpet.

"VEEP" star Julia Louis-Dreyfus is Amy's only real competition to take the Emmy Award home and set a major upset. Julia tends to stick to black on the red carpet and I think that she would be instantaneously drawn to this black Monique Lhuillier Resort 2016 with a high round racer shape neckline and an exposed back, a bead embroidered necklace that extends to the straps at the back, and a floor length fit and flare silhouette. Julia knows how to make these types of looks look anything but basic and I am sure that would be the case again. Styled with simple hair and makeup, a black clutch and black sandals and this simple look would be finished perfectly for the Emmy Awards red carpet.

I will be live tweeting this years Emmy Awards red carpet and telecast with Kelly from Dream In Lace on September 20. I hope you will follow me and Kelly on Twitter and join in on the conversation! I am excited as this is our awards tradition now, so pop your bubbly and join in the fun.

2015 Golden Globe Awards: Hostesses Tina Fey & Amy Poehler Wish List

The FABULOUS comedy duo of Amy Poehler and Tina Fey will be once again hosting the Golden Globe Awards which are just a week and two days away. Neither lady has ever been on the forefront of fashion but seeing what they bring to the red carpet and the stage is always a pleasure. The two usually bring their best to the red carpet at this event. I am choosing to outfit each lady in one single designer for the night as that is what they normally do. For Amy I picked three looks for her to wear from Badgley Mischka, all from their Pre-Fall 2015. For the red carpet I have picked this black strapless sweetheart neck mermaid gown that features beaded and feather embellishments. Black has always been Amy's go to color for the red carpet and I think that this design would just look stunning on her. To open the show I went to the opposite of the color spectrum, white. I think that this is so much better for the show than a black dress because it will stand out against a most likely dark stage. Speaking of standing out I would also love to see Amy wear this magenta gown that features gunmetal crystal encrusted floral embellishments. I love to see Amy wow in a pop of color especially since she usually sticks to black and white for all of her red carpet options.

For a good part of the end of 2014 Tina Fey stuck with the designs of Christian Siriano for her red carpet appearances, and I am hoping that the two will partner for her looks for the 2015 Golden Globes next Sunday night. I I have to say that I am actually excited to see what Tina will bring to the red carpet because she has been trying to bust out of her LBD comfort zone. For the red carpet I went to the Christian Siriano Spring 2015 RTW collection and found this stunning navy blue caped column gown for the perfect red carpet moment. It is not anything earth shattering but the fact that it is sophisticated and not black I think that this will make for a perfect red carpet moment. Tina has been known to take her red carpet look and make it one of the two looks that she wears during the show. I am hoping that this year that she puts that idea aside and really goes full glam hostess for the event. I would love to see her kick the night off wearing this black gown from the Christian Siriano Fall 2014 RTW collection. I think that this silhouette is perfect for Tina ans will make her look 10 feet tall and despite being black this look is anything but basic, with it's embellished bodice and peplum train. And last but not least I think that this Christian Siriano Pre-Fall 2015 full skirted cocktail dress would make a great addition to Tina's hostess wardrobe. She wore a tea length dress by the late L'Wren Scott two years ago and I thought it was a revolutionary idea as major awards show hostesses are always expected to wear long glam gowns but I think that this iridescent purple cocktail dress makes just as much impact as a big ball gown.

If you want to join the conversation I will be joining Kelly from Dream In Lace with a live Twitter commentary on what all the stars are wearing. So please join me (@FutureStylist93) and Kelly (@DreamInLace) at about 5 PM EST for all kinds of fashion ID's and LOTS of snarky commentary.

2014 Critics Choice Television Awards Wish List Part 2

Amy Poehler is nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series at the 2014 Critics Choice Television Awards come Thursday evening. I am hoping to see Amy keep up her awesome run from the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, even if it was in all black. I am picking yet another black gown for Amy to wear Thursday night but I believe that she is taking small steps to looking even more amazing than she used to. This body hugging Kaufmanfranco Fall 2014 RTW black sheath gown with a sweeping train and under bust cutout is perfect for Amy to wear. I do believe that this gown has cutouts on the hips as well but I would have this look modified to remove those. A black sparkling clutch, a pair of simple Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals in black, and a pair of pretty and simple diamond earrings would ensure that Amy looks absolutely fantastic on the Critics Choice red carpet.

The HBO film "The Normal Heart" has garnered Julia Roberts a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Movie or Mini-Series at the 2014 Critics Choice Television Awards. After giving me disappointing look after disappointing look during awards season I do not have high hopes if she even attends Thursday's red carpet. I figure that Julia will turn back to one of her favored brands Valentino, Givenchy, or Dolce & Gabbana. I am picking this black Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2014 RTW lace long sleeve gown for Julia. Nothing inspiring but typical Julia.

Minnie Driver has given some awesome red carpet looks in the past as a supporting actress at movie premieres and I am hoping that she kills it Thursday night at the Critics Choice Television Awards where she is nominated for Best Actress in a Movie or Mini-Series for her Lifetime film "Return to Zero." This navy Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Resort 2015 gown is typical of the Westwood legacy but I think that Minnie would look absolutely stunning wearing this amazing creation. A sparking navy Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver sandals, and some stunning diamond and sapphire earrings would make this look stand out even with its classic silhouette and muted colors.

Robin Wright usually sticks to covered up black ensembles when she takes to the red carpet. In the past two years she has made 8 red carpet appearances in black, black and white, nude, and navy so dark it might as well have been black and all very basic designs at that. I am hoping to see Robin revert back to the stunning red carpet dresser that she used to be prior to her divorce from Sean Penn. I have picked this Prabal Gurung Resort 2015 lace sequin embroidered lace cap sleeve top gown with a black and ink blue chiffon skirt for Robin to wear on the red carpet Thursday night where she is nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series for the Netflix original series "House of Cards." It is not way to far out of her usual comfort zone but it is all at the same time. A pair of simple Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals in black, an ink blue Edie Parker clutch, and a pair of simple diamond cluster earrings would help waltz Robin right back onto the worlds Best Dressed lists.

2014 Golden Globe Awards: Hostesses Amy Poehler and Tina Fey Wish List

 The dynamic duo of Amy Poehler and Tina Fey will be back hosting the 2014 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night after an amazing triumph at the task last year. During last years Awards Amy wore a selection of looks that came custom made courtesy of Stella McCartney. While she looked fantastic in all of those looks I am hoping to see Amy really shine in different looks during this years ceremony changing designers as she changes looks. For the red carpet I have picked this amazing Caribbean waters blue Georges Hobeika Spring 2014 RTW gown with a sheer and embellished bodice. Amy looks best when she puts the focus oh her upper half and simple on the bottom as that will keep her shape beautifully and lengthen her figure. For the opening of the show I think that this nude Naeem Khan Spring 2014 RTW gown with an embellished bodice with cap sleeves and a simple chiffon skirt. Finish the night with a beautiful electric blue ZAC Zac Posen Spring 2014 RTW gown with a ruched top would be the perfect look for Amy to close the night off in.

Tina Fey has a better red carpet track record than her co-host Amy but then again Tina tends to wear just a lot of black. Like Amy, Tina stuck to one designer for her two looks that she wore during the 2013 Golden Globe Awards. She looked fantastic in both her L'Wren Scott designs but I would love to see Tina branch out into different designers throughout the night. For the red carpet I have chosen to put Tina in this off white Oscar de la Renta Spring 2014 RTW strapless gown. This gown would hug all of Tina's curves as well as make her look taller than she actually is. Next I am going into a more comfortable region for Tina with this black Andrew Gn Spring 2014 RTW gown with gold embellished birds and a sheer hem to add visual interest to this look. And to close out the selection I have picked this beige Alice + Olivia Spring 2014 RTW lace ball gown that features black leather straps to give Tina an impact to finish the night in.

2013 Emmy Awards: Oustanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series Wish List

Sometimes Amy Poehler isn't the most glamorous woman on the red carpet but she has had her moments and I am hoping that she has one of those moments on the red carpet at the 2013 Emmy Awards. Amy is once again nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in 'Parks & Recreation.' I think that this bubblegum pick Badgley Mischka Resort 2014 simple gown with waist ruching and an embellished waist band. I think Amy is at her best when she wears something that isn't overworked and just a classic design. I think that this color would be the perfect way to infuse some modernity into the ensemble. A simple silver clutch and silver sandals as well as some select simple diamonds for her ears and wrist would complete this look for her for this years Emmy Awards.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus took home the 2012 Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her HBO comedy 'VEEP' and is nominated again this year in the same category. At last years ceremony Julia wore a stunning maroon Vera Wang gown and looked the best that she ever had so I am wishing for the partnership to follow onto this years event. I think that this Vera Wang Spring 2014 Bridal mermaid gown with a floral pattern embroidery would be perfect for this event. I would change the gown from ivory to be a blue color so that the look doesn't come off as bridal but I love the shape for Julia. A black clutch, black sandals, and some simple diamond dazzlers would be the way to finish off this custom look.

Oh Lena Dunham what to do with you? I am NOT a fan of her style because she hasn't learned how to dress her body shape and its sad because I think if she could get it right that she would look beautiful. I think this blue ZAC Zac Posen Resort 2014 gown with a nipped waist and a hip peplum would look really elegant on Lena for the 2013 Emmy Awards. Keep the look simple with a black clutch, black pumps, and very simple jewelry and let Lena take some baby steps to making her way feeling more and more comfortable on the red carpet.

This year will be Tina Fey's sixth and final nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Liz Lemon in the hit NBC comedy '30 Rock,' which ended its run earlier this year. I think that for this years awards show that this black rise fall Marchesa Resort 2014 gown would be perfect for Tina. With newer shows like 'Girls' and 'VEEP' I think that Tina isn't in the main line to win unless they give her the award because of the shows finale. A simple black clutch and black sandals will give Tina an awards show worthy look but one that isn't the most visually interesting. I hope that the comedy ladies don't let me down and work the Emmy's red carpet.

2013 Golden Globe Awards Wish List: The Hostesses

The funny ladies of NBC are hosting the Golden Globe Awards this year. Amy Pohler is one of the lovely ladies. Now when we think of Amy we don't necessarily think of outstanding red carpet style. Well as an event hostess Amy will have to step up her game if she is going to make the required multiple costume changes throughout the event. For the red carpet I would love to see Amy wear this powder blue Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2012 RTW. I think that this gown is totally within Amy's red carpet style. 

For the actual production here are my wishes for Amy. First we have a cream Naeem Khan Spring 2013 RTW gown. I think that this gown is simple yet different in an extremely good way, finish this off with some gold strappy heels and she is ready to open the show. The mint Peter Som Resort 2013 gown is something that Amy would stereotypically pick out for a red carpet appearance, so why wouldn't she wear something that is totally in her comfort zone. I love the yellow J. Mendel Fall 2012 RTW gown and I think that Amy would look amazing in this design. The color would look amazing on her. Finally I have this black TadashI Shoji Spring 2013 RTW gown. I was not a huge fan of this look when I saw it walk the runway in New York Fashion Week in September, but looking at it now it is the perfect gown for Amy.

I am more looking forward to seeing Tina Fey walk the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards. I have grown to start to appreciate Tina' s style and think that of the two hostesses that Tina will definitely be the one to bring the fashion factor. For the red carpet I would love to see Tina wear this stunning draped Oscar de la Renta Resort 2013 gown. Tina tends to wear a lot of black on the red but every so often she steps out of that box and wows w wearing a bold color like the red of this gown. Finish this look with a gold clutch, gold pumps, and some simple gold jewelry and Tina is on her way to a best dressed position.

Never thought I would say that I believe that Tina Fey would be the one to bring the fashion factor but I am expecting some amazing looks from her during the duration of the telecast. I would love to see Tina open the show in a show stopping manner wearing this dot printed Naeem Khan Fall 2012 RTW gown. I have seen another dress from this collection that has the same print up close and personal and it is a spectacular pattern and would turn many heads for sure. Next I have chosen this white, black, and gold Oscar de la Renta Spring 2013 RTW gown. This gown was one of my favorites from all of the spring collections and I think that Tina would look fantastic in this creation. Follow that up with the gown that I wished for her to wear to the 2012 Emmy Awards, a stunning L' Wren Scott Fall 2012 RTW purple velvet gown. This gown is old Hollywood glam and Tina would look fantastic in this design. I would have Tina finish off the evening wearing this stunning Elie Saab Resort 2013 black beaded gown. This gown was made to sparkle under hundreds of bright stage lights and would make a dramatic end to the evening.

2012 Emmy Awards: Comedy Actress Nominees

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy nominee Amy Poehler who stars in the hit comedy show Parks and Recreation does not tend to hit the red carpet high notes. Well here at If I Was A Stylist I would like to change that and I would do so by handing her this amazing orange Georges Hobeika Fall 2012 RTW gown. I think that this gown with a sequined top and chiffon skirt would make the actress look elegant as long as she has the right size top because her gowns tend to be to tight on the top. Add a gold clutch and some gold pumps and this look will be make perfect for the red carpet.

Edie Falco is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy for her work as the title character in Nurse Jackie. Depending on her red carpet outing Edie either is best dressed or worst dressed there is no in between. I think that this red Romona Kevesa Fall 2012 RTW long sleeved asymmetrical gown would look amazing on the star. I think that the gown is out of Edie's comfort zone of grey and black but would be a great choice. A pair of silver strappy sandals, a black clutch, and some amazing jewels this look is now red carpet ready.

HBO's new hit show 'VEEP' about a fictional female Vice President of the United States is where Julia Louise-Dreyfus gets her nomination from. This amazing grape colored Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2012 RTW draped halter neck gown. Julia usually only wears Narciso Rodriguez gowns on the red carpet should open her horizons to other gowns because if this nomination means anything to next years awards season I do not want to keep seeing these Narciso gowns on her on the carpet. I think that this color would look amazing on Julia. Add a gold bejeweled clutch and some gold pumps will make this look simple and chic.

 I think that Kristen Wiig will win the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy for all of her ensemble work on the classic sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live because the star just announced her retirement from the show. I think that this black Bibhu Mohapatra Resort 2013 gown with lace inserts would just hug Kristen's body. We have really seen Kristen evolve on the red carpet this year. Starting with a really bad Bill Blass nude gown at the Golden Globe awards to her stunning orange lace Stella McCartney full skirted 50's inspired cocktail dress at the Met Ball. I think that even though this is a black look that it has the potential to be Kristen's best look of the year. Add an emerald clutch, black pumps, and some amazing emerald and diamond earrings and this look would have a huge impact on the red carpet for just another black gown.

I have no real idea of who Lena Dunham is but I know she is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy thanks to her HBO show 'Girls'. At the Met Ball Lena wore an emerald green 60's inspired Stella McCartney gown that she brilliantly accessorized with bubblegum pink pumps and a black clutch. Well I would like to see Lena wear this amazing toffee/taupe Carmen Marc Valvo Fall 2012 RTW gown which instead of making her look short and dumpy like her McCartney gown, I believe would elongate her frame. I would add a Donna Karan Spring 2012 wood grain clutch and a pair of gold heel nude Lanvin Spring 2012 heels.

Tina Fey is ALWAYS nominated for an award for her role of Liz Lemon on the NBC comedy '30 Rock.' I am not sure why as I personally feel that there are far better and funnier actresses on the big screen. Well regardless of my feelings I think that Tina should once again find friends with Oscar de la Renta and wear this stunning red asymmetrical gown with a silver waist band for this years awards. I think that this gown would elongate Tina's short stature whilst giving the fashion world something to actually be interested in. A silver sandal and a silver clutch will leave fashionista's everywhere with their jaws dropped.

And last but certainly not least we have Zooey Deschanel who over the past year has really started to capture my attention with some amazing looks. Zooey is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy for her character Jess on the hit show, 'New Girl.' I think for this years awards I would love to see Zooey wear this silver jacquard Andrew Gn Resort 2013 ball gown because it really is a Zooey type of gown. Add a silver clutch and some silver pumps to complete the ensemble.
