2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish List Part 2

Since none of her films are nominated and she isn't presenting or performing I am wondering if Anna Kendrick will make her way out to the likes of the Vanity Fair Oscar Party at the end of the month. It might be likely that she does since Anna has a gaggle of movies that are going to be released this year and she does have to keep up appearances. I would love to see Anna wearing this raspberry one shouldered Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2016 draped gown on the red carpet because I think that since she has no official duties that night that she would go for something just relaxed and classic. A romantic updo, diamond drop earrings, a dark grey clutch, and a pair of silver sandals would ensure that Anna is absolutely beautiful on the red carpet.
I am beginning to wonder what if we will see the pop superstar on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party after all of the controversy of #OscarsSoWhite but I am hoping that she still shows up for Vanity Fair. I would love to see Beyonce redeem herself from the tacky look she had last year and this silver Roberto Cavalli Pre-Fall 2016 sequin gown would help do exactly that. This gown mixes the worlds of film red carpets and music red carpets which Beyonce can do oh so well. Old Hollywood waves strewn over one shoulder, dazzling Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings, a silver clutch, and a pair of silver Christian Louboutin sandals would ensure that Beyonce has an amazing moment on the Vanity Fair red carpet.
Brie Larson is expected to be the golden girl of the Best Actress category at the Academy Awards on February 28, 2016 and I am sure that the starlet with a smile to rival Julia Roberts will follow up the ceremony by celebrating at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Brie has probably been the star that I have most enjoyed see on the red carpet this season. She has consistently gotten better and better and I am sure that Oscar night will not be any different. I will be posting my wish for her gown for the main show next week but for the Vanity Fair party I would love to see Brie wearing this black Antonio Berardi Pre-Fall 2016 grommet embellished gown. After what I am sure will be an extremely glamorous moment during the show I would love to see Brie toughen things up a little with this edgy glam look which is perfect for the Vanity Fair party. Finish things up with a shiny gold Oscar statue, a pair of black sandals, and dazzling diamond drop earrings and this will be the perfect after party look.
I am sure that we will see a bevy of the Kardashian/Jenner clan on the red carpet but I bet you Caitlyn Jenner is the only one who ends up at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. As the most buzzed about Vanity Fair cover of 2015 I can bet that she will be there as well on the red carpet at the Elton John AIDS Foundation red carpet. I don't picture Caitlyn changing so I picked this watermelon pink Georges Chakra Spring 2016 Couture sleeveless caped gown for her to wear on both red carpets. All of Caitlyn's red carpet looks so far have been long sleeve gowns and I am wondering if she is going to be a one trick pony or not. This Georges Chakra gown would be a definite departure from her norm and a beautiful statement for her to make on the red carpet. A pair of gold pumps, a gold clutch, and diamond drop earrings would finish this look off perfectly for Caitlyn for the red carpet.
Camilla Belle is always at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party and I hope that she continues that this year. Camilla is always one that I love to see on the red carpet and I think that this black and navy Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2016 strapless striped ballgown which features an a-line silhouette with beaded embellishment along the bodice. Camilla and Carolina is almost always a match made in heaven and I am sure that this gown would be no different. Not many would have the gusto to make this gown work on a red carpet but I believe that Camilla definitely has it. A black Edie Parker clutch, black Christian Louboutin pumps, a chic up do, diamond drop earrings, and a diamond bracelet would finish this look off in just the most elegant way to ensure that Camilla has an absolutely amazing night on the red carpet.

2016 People's Choice Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 1

The People's Choice Awards is the second awards show of 2016 setting off on January 6, 2016. The dress at People's Choice is usually all over the place with looks ranging from jeans and t-shirts to evening gowns and off the rack purchases to haute couture, so it makes for a fun evening seeing all the different types of looks that grace the red carpet. ABC's Blood and Oil's Amber Valetta is one of the confirmed stars to take to the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards. I was really excited to find out that Amber was transitioning from modeling into TV and was hoping that would mean some amazing red carpet moments, that hasn't happened as of yet but I am always hopeful that it will turn around. With Balmain being everywhere & getting more and more tacky by each new collection I am almost fatigued but this almost sexy tuxedo inspired ensemble from the Balmain Spring 2016 RTW collection is one that I really want to see on a red carpet. I believe that with her supermodel presence that Amber would rock the hell out of this number on the red carpet, giving her a sultry sexy major moment to kick off 2016. Finished with a sleek hairstyle, a red lip, & black Christian Louboutin pumps & this look would make for a great kickoff to the People's Choice Awards red carpet.
Anna Kendrick is nominated at the 2016 People's Choice Awards for Best Comedic Actress thanks to her work in Pitch Perfect 2. Anna had a rather boring year on the red carpet in 2015 so I am hoping that she will make a come back in 2016. I picked this black Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2016 ensemble for Anna to wear for the People's Choice Awards because I think that this is a chic yet subtle and sophisticated way to start her getting back on her feet. Amp up the look with a pair of statement Jimmy Choo sandals and a pair of diamond studs to ensure that Anna kills the red carpet. 
One person who I am really excited to hopefully see on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards next Wednesday is Blake Lively, who is nominated for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress thanks to The Age of Adeline. I was not a fan of the actual movie but I love seeing Blake on the red carpet so I hope she steps out (especially since she hasn't been on a red carpet since promoting the movie earlier this year.) I would love to see Blake wear a version of this Gucci Spring 2016 RTW dress. I love this teal blue sequin dress with it's almost comic boom detailing. I think a shorter version with no rosette at the neck would make for a perfect look for Blake for this red carpet. Paired with a sleek pony tail, a pink lip, and a pair of silver Christian Louboutin pumps this look would be a major moment for Blake at the People's Choice Awards.
After killer promotional tours for Paper Towns and Pan I am really excited to see what Cara Delevinge will pop up in on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards, if she attends. Cara is nominated for the The DailyMail.com Seriously Popular award and I could totally picture the supermodel, whom has a major fan base, winning this type of award. Some of my favorite looks from Cara have come thanks to Alexandre Vauthier and this gold sequined Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2016 RTW ensemble. This sexy ensemble is something that I could picture Cara snatching up and rocking on the red carpet of the People's Choice Awards. This look would be perfectly styled with a pair of gold Christian Louboutin sandals and hair worn in Cara's signature waves.
Charlize Theron is probably one of the women that I am most excited to see take to the red carpet during awards season. Charlize is one of my favorite actresses to see on the red carpet as she just exudes glamour. While she is contractually obligated to wear Dior on the red carpet at the big events, like the Golden Globes or the Oscars, I get excited to see what else she will bring to these types of events. At the People's Choice Awards Charlize is nominated for Favorite Action Movie Actress thanks to Mad Max: Fury Road, and I am really hoping that she will make an appearance. For this red carpet I think that this sexy Anthony Vaccarello Spring 2016 RTW asymmetrical cocktail dress which has a very borrowed from the boys type look. This dress is masculine and sexy which is something we have not seen from Charlize in a very long time. A pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals, a white Dior clutch, and a red lip would ensure that this look is sleek and sexy.
After 2015 I think Ciara is becoming like Leslie Mann or Heidi Klum and inserting herself on any red carpet that she can. At the 2016 People's Choice Awards Ciara will be on the red carpet as she is nominated for Favorite R&B Artist. I didn't even know Ciara had released new music so I guess it tells you how much I follow her. For this res carpet I would love to see Ciara in this black Vera Wang Spring 2016 RTW ensemble. I think that this crop top and feather embellished pencil skirt would make for a perfect look for Ciara. She has been wearing a lot of edgy black ensembles and this would probably take the cake on all of them. A pair of the red to black ombre Christian Louboutin "Hot Chick" pointed toe pumps, sleek slicked back hair, and a red lip would ensure that Ciara has a major all black moment on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards.

2015 Academy Awards: Performers Wish List

Anna Kendrick is going to be taking to the Academy Awards stage tomorrow night. I have absolutely no idea what it is that she will be performing but I am excited to see what she will wear. I picked this gold Badgley Mischka Fall 2015 RTW strapless embroidered trumpet gown. While I don't ever remember Anna wearing Badgley Mishka I think that this gown would look amazing on the petite starlet. Changing gears from the major red carpet gown I figure that Anna will change, most likely into another gown, for her performance. This simple black Jenny Packham Pre-Fall 2015 gown with a plunging neckline and crystal embellishments would be perfect for Anna to perform in. This gown is flowing and would be perfect for a variety of different types of performances. Only time will tell what Anna will be performing and I can not wait.
Jennifer Hudson is coming back to the Oscars stage to perform yet again. After finally getting back in my good graces in her simple white Tom Ford cocktail dress at the Grammy Awards, I am praying that Jennifer continues to wow me at the Academy Awards.When I was watching the Monique Lhuillier Fall 2015 RTW collection and I saw this copper long sleeve backless metallic gown, my wheels started turning to figure out who should snatch it up for the Oscars. JHud is that person. I think that the copper color would look amazing against her skin tone and I would just die if she werked this gown on the Oscars red carpet. To perform, most likely the in memoriam segment, I would love to see Jennifer wear this grey embellished one shoulder gown from the same collection with a side cutout. This would look absolutely amazing on Jennifer, if she doesn't opt for a black ensemble. A pair of silver sandals and a red lip will finish off this look perfect for the stage.
Lady Gaga is the real surprise performer at tomorrow nights Academy Awards. I was really shocked when I got the press release that Gaga was performing. She did attend last year, as a guest of Chopard, so seeing her make a repeat Oscars appearance was shocking. For the red carpet I would love to see Gaga wear this amazing white Ralph & Russo Fall 2014 Couture asymmetrical ruffled gown with black floral embellishments. This is the over the top yet glam look that I was expecting Gaga to go for on the Grammy's red carpet but I think will infuse some fun into the Oscars red carpet. What will Gaga be performing? I honestly have no idea. This years Academy Awards are featuring more performances than ever. All of the Oscar nominated songs are being performed, on top of the performances by Anna Kendrick, Jennifer Hudson and Gaga. I think that this Zuhair Murad Spring 2015 jumpsuit that features all over embellishments, a plunging neckline and attached train. This makes this look sexy, glamorous, over the top and most importantly Oscars stage ready.
Rita Ora is the only woman whom I know what she will be performing tomorrow night at the Academy Awards. The British pop star will be performing the Oscar nominated song "Grateful" from "Beyond the Lights." Before she takes to the stage Rita will work her first Oscars red carpet. I would love to see her do so in this hot pink Zac Posen Fall 2015 RTW glitter infused taffeta structured ball gown. I love this gown. I was really disappointed in Zac's fall collection but this was definitely I high point and I figure that a pop star will get her hand on this bold statement of a gown. I think this mixes Rita's bold personality with the formality of the Academy Awards. For her performance I would love to see Rita bring out old Hollywood wearing this black and nude Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture embellished gown with a plunging neckline and a feather bolero. I can see this gown looking amazing with an orchestra behind Rita and lots of moving light beams, but I am really good at building up hype for an Oscars performance in my head and then get really let down.

Join me and Kelly from Dream In Lace tomorrow night at 5:30 PM EST as we live tweet all the looks from the Academy Awards. So grad your champagne and follow me (@FutureStylist93) and Kelly (@DreamInLace) for all kinds of fashion ID's and snarky commentary all night long.

2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Wish List Part 1

I am taking a break from the main ceremony to focus on some of the Oscar night parties for the next few days. These events can be just as glam and give just as much high fashion as the main show does. Amy Adams did not receive an Oscar nomination this year but I am still praying that she decides to hit up a few of the parties. I would love to see Amy on the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet wearing this shocking pink Schiaparelli Spring 2015 Couture silk gown. The silhouette of this gown is one we don't see from Amy very often but I think that the simple style with the bold color and pattern would just sing a beautiful with Amy on the red carpet.
Anna Kendrick is going to be performing at the Academy Awards ceremony next Sunday night and then I am sure she will head out to the parties. I am also figuring that Anna will make a costume change on her way. I created this wish before she was announced as a performer at the ceremony so I do not know if Anna would wear a ball gown, but I would love to see her wear this amazing black and white liquid organza Naeem Khan Pre-Fall 2015 gown that features a sweetheart neckline with multiple thin camisole-style straps, a black floral lace bodice that falls to a white floor length a-line skirt. This is a very pretty gown and I think that Anna would rock it on the red carpet. Old Hollywood waves, a red lip, a black Edie Parker clutch and a pair of black strappy Christian Louboutin sandals would be the perfect finishing touches to put Anna on top of the Best Dressed lists.
The Best Supporting Actress nominated Emma Stone usually changes out of her Oscars ceremony gown and into a second look for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. I have a feeling that is going to be the case next Sunday night. I picked a beautiful blue and gold Valentino Couture ballgown for Emma to wear for the ceremony so I figured I would give her something that wasn't as much for the Vanity Fair Party. I picked this light gold embroidered high neck gown from the Valentino "Sala Bianca" Haute Couture collection that was presented to commemorate the reopening of the Valentino NYC Flagship. This collection has been receiving a lot of red carpet love and I am sure that time is nowhere near up. I think that this gold gown would make Emma look like a flaming goddess. Finish the look with a gold Lee Savage clutch, a pink lip and a pair of gold sandals and Emma will show why she is one of the best dressed women on the red carpet scene.
Emmy Rossum is going to be hosting the Costume Designers Guild Awards on Tuesday night so I am hoping that she will stay in LA through Oscars night and attend the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party. Emmy is one of my favorite women who rocks red carpets. Very rarely does Emmy disappoint on the red carpet. I would love to see Emmy wear this heavy georgette Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2015 halter gown with a front opening that reveals a vibrant orchid print. I love this gown. When this gown is not in motion this gown you don't really see the print but it is a fun unexpected punch.
I could not find a Dior gown for Felicity Jones to wear for the actual Academy Awards ceremony, even though I feel like she will wear a custom dress. I would love to see her change into this floral print Christian Dior Spring 2015 Couture cocktail dress with side cutouts. This is a mix of 50's housewife and ultra sleek modernity. This is something that I really want to see Felicity do on the red carpet. She does the prim look so well it would be nice to see Felicity wear something with a little edge. Silver sandals and chic hair and  makeup would finish this look off perfectly for the Vanity Fair Oscars After-Party red carpet.
This year Gwen Stefani is rumored to be dropping not only an album with No Doubt but also releasing another solo album. I would love to see Gwen on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Party next Sunday night. The Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2015 Couture collection was really popular for Grammy weekend and I think that Gwen should get her hands on this collection. I would love to see Gwen wear this silver sequined long sleeve Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2015 Couture gown with a plunging neckline and split to there. The belt reminds me of a heavyweight championship belt so I would probably switch it up and pair it with a black Alaia belt, black sandals, a red lip sand some stunning Chopard diamond earrings to ensure that Gwen is a red carpet hit.
Hilary Swank always wows the fuck out of me. There is something about her grace and elegance that I just love to see her in what ever she wears. I would love to see Hilary wear this Elie Saab brown and blue long sleeve mermaid gown with sweeping train and all over embellishments from the Fall 2014 Couture collection. This gown would be a stunning look for Hilary to wear for the Vanity Fair Party. It is chic and sophisticated and Hilary would infuse sex into the look. A blue clutch, old Hollywood waves and a pair of black sandals would finish this look off perfectly for the Vanity Fair red carpet.

Top 10 Looks from the 2015 Grammy Awards

The Grammy Awards took place in LA last night and more celebs to the the red carpet and killed it. I will say that before I begin there was almost NO color on this red carpet. There are only two looks on this list that had color. I was slightly disappointed in that but I will say the stars worked monochromatic looks with great abandon. Topping my Best Dressed list is Taylor Swift. The now Pop Princess really took her red carpet style to another level in her custom Elie Saab turquoise sleeveless ball gown with a mini skirt cutaway. Listing these elements this look should have been a total looser but somehow Taylor makes it all work. The aqua earrings and fuchsia sandals just kept this look youthful fresh and modern. This is the kinda statement that I love to see on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards.
Gwen Stefani wore two looks from Atelier Versace last night. With my thirst for color needing to be quenched I picked her stunning red performance gown to be the runner up to Taylor. Her red carpet jumpsuit was amazing (though lacking a bold lipstick), this was the statement that I figured that Gwen would make for the Grammy Awards. For someone not nominated or performing I have to say that Rita Ora really dazzled me in her sparkling custom Prada silver long sleeve pailette covered gown. The human disco ball as she is being called really gave me thirst for a true diva moment on the Grammy carpet. When Rihanna showed up at the Grammy Awards last night her Giambattista Valli Couture ball gown the internet immediately started calling her a couture cupcake or a sugary pink loofah, and I have to agree. I did not like that gown, but when she changed into her black oversized Maison Marigela Spring 2015 Couture double breasted tuxedo that she paired with a dazzling Chopard diamond necklace. This was a chic look. I wanted Rihanna to stray away from this look but I loved this more than her left field ball gown.
I think my biggest shock of the night was how much I loved Nicki Minaj in her custom Tom Ford black gown with its deep plunging neck and beaded fringe skirt. Nicki has been toning down her red carpet style and I have to say that I am loving what she is putting down. Jessie J brought the sheer drama to the red carpet in her Ralph & Russo Fall 2014 Couture gown. I was happy that Jessie paired this gown with black panties instead of the nude ones that the gown was presented with. I got alien queen realness from Jessie. I was happy to see her represent her homeland wearing a British designer, and she did them proud. For her moving performance during the Grammy telecast Katy Perry let the stage be all about her voice wearing an off white Valentino Couture gown from the collection presented to honor the reopening of the NYC Flagship store. I loved how simple Katy kept this look, especially since she showed up on the red carpet in a beaded Zuhair Murad cocktail dress and a Purple wig.
And the last set of ladies were more of the black and white showing that they could be anything but basic. I was not a fan of Lady Gaga on the Grammy Carpet but for her performance with Tony Bennett and the awards photocall I loved the black beaded and feather embellished Brandon Maxwell strapless gown with a Jessica Rabbit v-neck was just lovely. It gave the perfect air for the type of music that Gaga and Bennett have been producing and performing lately. I think the toned down Gaga was exactly what I was expecting to see at the Grammy Awards and she more than delivered for me. The other Tom Ford look on the Grammy red carpet was from Jennifer Hudson. Her minimalistic perfectly tailored strapless white cocktail dress could have been very snooze worthy but thanks to the precision tailoring and expert styling this sang a sultry song on the Grammy Awards red carpet. And last but not least I have to give Anna Kendrick some real credit for totally stepping out of her princess gown and mini dress comfort zone and rocking a perfectly tailored Band of Outsiders tuxedo. Keeping the styling minimal let this amazing look shine, and leaving me wanting more from Anna.

Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture Presentation Wish List

Anna Kendrick has had a long time friendship with Elie Saab since about the time that she arrived on the red carpet scene in 2010 when she was nominated for every single award including an Academy Award for "Up in the Air." Anna did wear Elie Saab Couture for that awards ceremony and that has not been the only time. I am hoping to see Anna wear more Elie Saab couture coming up with the promo tours of "The Last 5 Years" and "Into the Woods" coming up this fall. "Into the Woods" is speculated to premiere at at least one of the major film festivals (Venice, Toronto, London, or Rome) and those would call for a stunning couture creation. To preview possible red carpet moments at the Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture presentation in Paris next Wednesday July 9th I would love to see Anna wear this deep berry Elie Saab Fall 2014 RTW jumpsuit. I feel like Anna is young and fun enough to make this look work for the front row. I would pair this with a pair of dyed to match pointed toe pumps and flowing curls to finish off this perfect front row ensemble.
Jessica Chastain has been another loyal Elie Saab devotee wearing him to all of the major film festivals. Jessica has 3 films that are film festival and awards season contenders that will premiere before the end of this year so it would not surprise me if Jessica sits front row at the Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture presentation next week to snatch up his stunning couture creations. To do so I would love to see Mrs Chastain wear this jade Elie Saab Fall 2014 RTW cocktail dress with an attached sheer cape. This is a dramatic look perfect for sitting front row. I would pair this with the runway clutch and a pair of gold sandals to ensure that Jessica has the perfect front row look.
Kate Beckinsale has two films coming out this year and always wow's me when she takes to the red carpet (especially when she is wearing Elie Saab). At the Vanity Fair Oscar Party earlier this year Kate dug into the Elie Saab Couture archives and rocked a sexy gold number for that appearance. If she could sit front row and judge all the new Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture creations I would love for her to rock the hell out of this Elie Saab Resort 2015 black jumpsuit that features lace yoke and sleeves as well as beaded embellishments on the bodice. This is sophisticated and sexy. Paired with her signature voluminous waves, a red lip, and a pair of black Christian Louboutin platform pumps would ensure that Kate wont fade into the background even in black.
And last but not least for this front row wish list I have a wish for Bollywood star Sonam Kapoor. When Sonam was not wearing a traditional couture sari at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival she was stunning on the red carpets in Elie Saab Couture wearing everything to haute couture realness to just plain pretty. I would love to see her previewing gowns for next years festival as she will most likely be back in attendance since she is a spokesmodel for festival sponsor L'Oreal Paris. This pastel yellow Elie Saab Resort 2015 sheath dress with a knotted keyhole (pictured left) would a perfectly appropriate dress to wear front row at the Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture presentation next week. I would go with a head to toe runway look wearing the nude and gold Elie Saab sandals and actually taking the nude and yellow Elie Saab chain strap purse from the look next to it to complete the perfect look with a bold red lip.

2014 Met Ball: Anna Kendrick, Charlize Theron, & Jennifer Lawrence Wish List

Anna Kendrick has been kinda on fire when it comes to her red carpet style as of lately. During New York Fashion Week Anna popped up in the front row of several major red carpet labels. Since she wore J. Mendel to the Academy Awards it only seems fit that she will wear Monique Lhuillier to the 2014 Met Ball. This black and pink high low ball gown from the Monique Lhuillier Fall 2014 RTW collection would be a perfect homage to the themes inspiration, Charles James. Anna would rock this feminine elegant gown on this red carpet. A black Rauwolf clutch, pink sandals, and stunning jewels will finish off this perfect look for the Met Ball red carpet.
Charlize Theron killed it at the Academy Awards in a black Christian Dior Spring 2014 Couture gown and $15 million dollars worth of Harry Winston diamonds. If she takes to the red carpet at the 2014 Met Ball I am sure that we will see the Christian Dior spokesmodel rock yet another gown from the label. This black and white Christian Dior Spring 2014 Couture strapless gown will be worn either during the Met Ball or the Cannes Film Festival next month and I would love to see Charlize rock it during the Met because I feel like it was made for her statuesque figure. Her cropped hair worn sleekly parted, a bold red lip, simple diamonds, a black clutch, and some black Christian Louboutin sandals would ensure that Charlize has yet another stunning moment on the red carpet.


Another Dior girl that we are bound to see take to the red carpet of the 2014 Met Ball as she is on fire in her career right now. I think that this black chiffon Christian Dior Spring 2014 Couture gown with a white sequin under dress would be an awesome option. This is one gown that I would love to see JLaw rock on the red carpet. I feel like this sporty ensemble was crafted with Jennifer in mind, as she does not fair well with the girlier frocks that they try to stick her with, A black Dior clutch and a pair of black simple sandals will finish off this ensemble for this red carpet.

2014 Academy Awards: Presenters Wish List Part 1

Angelina Jolie will take to the 2014 Academy Awards as one of the nights many glamorous presenters. It's not quite a shock as her long term lover Brad Pitt is nominated as a producer for '12 Years a Slave,' and Ange took home the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 2013 Academy Governors Awards. I figure that for this red carpet that Miss Jolie will don her favorite color, black, but I think that doing so in this strapless Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture embellished gown that features silver ombre embellishments fading from the bottom. In the last year every single one of Angelina's red carpet looks, sans one black Michael Kors ensemble, came courtesy of one of 3 designers: Ralph & Russo, Saint Laurent, or Versace. I am hoping she breaks that run come Sundays awards but I am placing a pretty safe bet that she will revert back to one of her 3.
Earlier this month Anna Kendrick was the darling of New York Fashion Week, popping up in the front row of several major red carpet brands like Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra, and J. Mendel. Despite taking in numerous fantastic gowns that we will undoubtedly take in on Oscar night I have chosen to put Anna in this gold Emilio Pucci Fall 2014 RTW embellished halter gown. I think that if Peter Dundas, the creative director of Emilio Pucci, added a liquid gold fabric underneath this gown as its lining this would make a perfect gown for the 2014 Academy Awards and not just a gown destined for a red carpet premiere or Oscar after-party. A pair of gold simple sandals, a gold Kotur clutch, Anna's hair worn in loose curls, and some very simple jewels will make this look just that much more perfect for Hollywood's biggest night.
It was never a surprise to me when the Academy announced that Anne Hathaway would be attending this years Academy Awards as a presenter. As the winner of the Best Supporting Actress award last year, Anne will be on hand to give another worthy winner their statuette. Having traded out longtime stylist, and friend, Rachel Zoe earlier this year for Penny Lovell, who dresses Rose Byrne and Bella Heathcote, I am expecting some major magic come Oscar Sunday. Rachel Zoe never pulls gowns from Elie Saab, sticking to all the really big names to pull for red carpets like Dior, Chanel, Posen, and de la Renta, and Lovell loves herself a major Elie Saab moment. Lovell gave Rose Byrne her now iconic Elie Saab Couture white jumpsuit moment at the 2012 SAG Awards. I am praying for Anne's first Elie Saab moment to come this Sunday via this white strapless Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture completely embellished gown. This is a perfect statement for the Oscar winner, and presenter to make, especially because Anne has 3 movies slated for release this year. A white Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver sandals, and some bomb ass statement diamonds in her ears and on her wrist will give Annie the moment to make up for her ugly pink Prada disaster last year.
Jennifer Lawrence will not be the only Christian Dior girl that will take to the 2014 Academy Awards red carpet, she will be joined by J'Adore Dior spokesmodel Charlize Theron. For this awards show, unlike for Jennifer, I did look to the Spring 2014 Couture collection. I did not see any major looks for a nominee but I think this red and white completely sequined gown with stylized circular cutouts would be perfect for the Oscar red carpet veteran. Since last years awards Charlize's hair has grown out from short and boyish to a cute and fun pixie. I think that this dress, accompanied with a red satin box clutch, a pair of red satin sandals, and some very simple diamond earrings will give Charlize that stunning red carpet look that the Oscars red carpet calls for.
And finally for today we have a wish for first time Academy Awards attendee and presenter Emma Watson. Emma has worn nothing but couture this year and why would that stop for Hollywood's biggest night? At the Golden Globes Emma shocked with a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Dior Couture frock that was a gown in the front and pants in the back and for the Elle Style Awards Emma channeled the 1960s in black and white Giambattista Valli Couture. For the Academy Awards on Sunday night I think that Emma will go for a classic old Hollywood glamour look via this cream beaded Chanel Spring 2014 Couture gown with a deep-v neck. Emma has had her share of Chanel Couture moments on the red carpet and I think that she will wear the brand for her first Oscars. I would keep this look simple with just a pair of gold sandals and very simple vintage jewelry to keep the focus completely on the gown.

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!
