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.

#Grammys 2016: Chrissy Teigan, Demi Lovato, Rihanna, & Selena Gomez Red Carpet Wish List

I am expecting that Chrissy Teigan is going to give me baby bump realness when she steps out on the red carpet on Monday at the Grammy Awards with her hubby John Legend, who is performing in a homage to Lionel Richie. Chrissy always looks fabulous when she is on John's arm and I am sure this will be no different. At the NAACP Image Awards Chrissy gave her bump a fitted gown to show it off and my choice for her for the Grammy's is a little more flowing. I would love to see Chrissy rocking this pink Naeem Khan Spring 2016 RTW gown rendered in silk charmeuse and features a column silhouette with a beaded embellished halter neckline. I think that this gown would just drape ever so elegantly over her baby bump and with that embellished halter neck Chrissy would have no need for any diamonds. I would finish this look off with a silver clutch, a pair of silver sandals, diamond stud earrings, a chic sleek updo, and a pink lip to ensure that this is a perfect red carpet look for Chrissy and her baby bump on the Grammy Awards red carpet.
I am not sure what to expect from Demi Lovato who will be attending the Grammy Awards on Monday night as a performer during the homage to Lionel Richie. I am basically checking all of Demi's standard music award show boxed by going short, sparkly and long sleeved with this camel Balmain Spring 2016 RTW cocktail dress. I am was not a fan of the Balmain Spring 2016 RTW collection and I kinda hope I am wrong that she will wear Balmain but I think out of any of the dresses from the collection that this would best fit Demi's style and not be garish on the red carpet. Since there is a whole lot going on with this dress I would keep the styling simple with just a pair of gold sandals and a red lip so that the styling doesn't conflict with the dress.
Rihanna is probably the person that I am most excited to see on the Grammy Awards red carpet on Monday night. She will be performing music off her just released album Anti, hopefully not that terrible song "Work." Last year RiRi walked the Grammy Awards red carpet in a pink Giambattista Valli Couture cupcake gown and I was not a fan. I am really hoping that the edgy songstress grabs up this Jean Paul Gaultier Couture ensemble which included a metal cage bustier, chiffon robe, and black tuxedo pants. As we all know Rihanna is not afraid to show off her breasts and with this look at least they would not be in direct view and I think that RiRi would rock this look like not many could. Finish the look with her new angular bob, a red lip, a diamond cuff bracelet, and a pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps and this would be a record look for the Grammy Awards red carpet.
Finally rounding out all of my Grammy Awards rec carpet wishes is this last wish for Selena Gomez. I have a bit of a suspicion that Selena is going to wear a Louis Vuitton look for the Grammy Awards but honestly I am hoping I am wrong because Selena and LV have not been a very good match. I would love to see Selena wearing this black Antonio Berardi Pre-Fall 2016 grommet embellished gown. This gown is sexy while still being very chic and sophisticated and I think that those are the looks that I tend to like the most from Selena. I don't expect her to go all Angelina Jolie with the gowns thigh high split, actually I would really prefer if she didn't, but I think that Selena would flash us just enough leg to show us how sexy she really is. Keep the styling sleek and sexy with a small black clutch, a pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals, a red lip, sleek pulled back hair, and modern diamond drop earrings to ensure that Selena has a red carpet hit on her hands

2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards: Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Nominee Wish List

The 2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards are just a week away! I am excited that, aside from tonight's Critics Choice Awards, that the stars will be back out in full force for the next major stop on the road to the Oscars. Alicia Vikander is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for The Danish Girl, unlike at the Golden Globe Awards where she was nominated in the Lead Actress category. I think that this makes a stronger case for Alicia as the competition is not as strong. As a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton I am intrigued to see what Alicia will bring to the red carpet, and her white sequined Louis Vuitton gown at the Globes was quite enchanting. I am not so sure that she will wear Louis Vuitton again until the Oscars but if she does I would pick this gold suede Louis Vuitton Resort 2016 runway gown as it is that chic elegant style that Alicia tends to favor, though I would imagine that it would be a custom gown probably based on the Spring 2016 RTW collection. Alicia really is the only person that can consistently bring a Louis Vuitton look of the perfection to the red carpet so I really hope that continues to be the case.
Kate Winslet, surprisingly, took home the Best Supporting Actress award for Steve Jobs at the 2016 Golden Globes last Sunday and I am interested to see how she will fair with a completely different panel of women she is nominated against. Kate is very cut and dry with her red carpet style; it is always fitted and usually in black, blue, champagne, and green. I am not really very interested in her red carpet style but I think that she would look very beautiful wearing this Antonio Berardi Spring 2016 RTW features a scoop neck with jewel embellishments at the bodice sides and a reverse wraparound silhouette with a long fluid column skirt. The looks fitted silhouette is a Kate Winslet approved standard and the jeweled embellishments on the sides make it something that is a little more than the Kate Winslet standard. Finish with a black clutch, a pair of black pumps, a pair of Tiffany & Co. diamond drop earrings, and a red lip would ensure that Kate has a very beautiful red carpet moment at the 2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
I was in the minority of not liking the floral Lanvin ballgown that Rachel McAdams wore on the red carpet at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards a week ago. I am interested to see what she will wear for the the red carpet at the SAG Awards since she is actually nominated for her film Spotlight. I picked this chic lemon yellow Naeem Khan Spring 2016 RTW twisted halter neck silk chiffon gown which features an illusion cutout bodice and a ruffle detailed skirt. I think that this is such an elegant look for Rachel as I have fallen out of love with her red carpet style and this would help me get back in groove with this look. Paired with a gold Rauwolf octagon cut gemstone clutch, a pair of gold sandals, a pair of yellow diamond drop earrings this would be quite the beautiful red carpet look.
Rounding out this wishlist is Rooney Mara, who like Alicia Vikander is going to be making this category tougher after campaigning in the lead category at the Golden Globe Awards. Rooney has yet to give me a moment where I say wow and I am hoping that we start taking baby steps to getting there. I picked this black Chanel Fall 2015 Couture sleeveless gown which features crystal embellishment and a tiered silk organza paneled high low gown. I have been waiting to see this gown on the red carpet and though I originally imagined it on someone with a lot of presence like Diane Kruger but I think Rooney's subtle sophistication that this could be a very chic moment a la Audrey Hepburn. Keep the look very simple with a sleek pony (not the bubble thing that she had at the Golden Globes), a pair of black sandals, a red lip, and a pair of chic diamond drop earrings and this just might be a look that I can get excited about.

2016 Golden Globe Awards: Presenter Wish List Part 1

The Golden Globe Awards are only a few days away and the lists of presenters are starting to roll in. With each new tweet I get more and more excited, it seems like all of Hollywood is planing on turning out on Sunday. Amber Heard helped kick off awards season this past Saturday at the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala, but I was sadly disappointed in her black lace Dolce & Gabbana gown which had a black bralet and a nude pencil skirt lining. I am praying that Amber really brings the sexy to the red carpet at the Globe's on Sunday and I think that she would rock the hell out of this champagne Ralph & Russo Fall 2015 Couture silk corseted gown with its off the shoulder neckline and draped skirt with a sexy split. This dress reminds me of a Grecian goddess and I believe that Amber would absolutely beautiful wearing this gown on the red carpet. Old Hollywood waves, a red lip, a gold Marchesa embellished clutch, a pair of Jimmy Choo gold 'Lance' sandals, and a pair of dazzling vintage yellow gold set Van Cleef & Arpels diamond earrings would make me fall in love with Amber on this red carpet.
 It was only Tuesday that the Antonio Berardi Pre-Fall 2016 collection was presented in London. I am hoping that this color and patterned blocked column gown will be on a plane on it's way to the back of Amy Adams for the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday. When I first saw this gown in the lookbook Amy immediately popped into my mind so when she was announced as a presenter at the Globes my mind went straight to this gown for her red carpet moment. Many stars don't take the risk of wearing patterns on the red carpet at these big red carpets but I think that this is done in such a chic and modern way that Amy would look amazing. The navy coloring in this gown would compliment Amy's peachy pink complexion and stand out against her flaming red locks. Finish the look with a black Rauwolf clutch, a pair of black Brian Atwood peep toe pumps, a red lip, old Hollywood waves, a pair of dazzling Cartier diamond earrings, and a Cartier diamond bracelet to make this the perfect look for the modern woman on a Hollywood red carpet.
At the 2015 Emmy Awards Jaimie Alexander set herself up to be a woman to watch on the red carpet wearing a custom Armani Prive multi-color long sleeved gown. I am excited to see what the Blindspot actress is going to wear on Sunday at the Golden Globe Awards. I would love to see her step out wearing this black and white velvet devore Zac Posen Spring 2016 RTW gown which features an inverted halter that drapes at the back, a relaxed floor length silhouette, and an exposed split at the back. This relaxed silhouette is something different for Jaimie who tends to stick to more fitted looks, but I think that this gown would look absolutely fantastic on her. This gown needs someone confident to wear it on the red carpet as many would get lost wearing this type of silhouette alone and add the print this is a downright difficult gown to wear. Finish this look with a vintage inspired bob, art-deco diamond drop earrings, a black clutch, and a pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals and this look is fantastic for Globes red carpet
So far Julianne Moore has been the hardest person to pick a gown for. I went through all of the recent and archived collections trying to pick something that just screamed Julianne, and I couldn't find a single thing. I am figuring that Julianne will wear a custom gown by one of her friends like Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy, Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, or Tom Ford. I really hope so. If I had to pick a runway dress for Julianne it would be this Brandon Maxwell Spring 2016 RTW gown with its column silhouette and its dramatic train, but I would have it made in a bordeaux red or emerald green. While the black is dramatic on it's own (and a great backdrop for some amazing statement earrings) I would really love to see Julianne wearing color. I personally would love this in emerald with a gold clutch, yellow gold set Bulgari diamond and emerald earrings, a pair of gold pumps, chic updo, and a red lip to ensure that Julianne has a major moment on the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday night.
Kate Hudson was kinda difficult because almost every look that I said "OOOOOOO she would look great in that" was white, and I don't think that after having such a major white moment at the Golden Globe Awards last year that she will do that again so soon. When I scrolled past this gold short sleeve column silhouette Marchesa Pre-Fall 2016 Gown with a scalloped v-neckline and bugle beaded fringe detailing I mentally dressed Kate in it and my breath was taken away. Kate really does high fashion bohemian like no other on the red carpet and I think that this gown would just come to life on her. I would keep the gold laser cut Marchesa clutch that the gown was paired with on the runway and add a pair of gold Christian Louboutin sandals, a pink lip & a simple updo to finish this look off for Kate.
I am crazy excited that Olivia is going to be on the red carpet at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday! Olivia has such a chic high glam type of look and she always leaves me speechless when she steps out. While she is not usually one to go big or go home I would love to see her wearing this Elie Saab Fall 2015 Couture wine red beaded spaghetti strap gown which features a caped back. The only reservation I can see someone having about wearing this gown on the Globes red carpet is the comparisons to the red caped Ralph Lauren gown that Lupita Nyong'o wore in 2014. Olivia has this modern glamour that would take this gown into such an elegant place and would definitely put her in contention for best dressed on this red carpet. 

I will be live tweeting the Golden Globe Awards red carpet with my partner in snark Kelly from Dream In Lace on Sunday January 8, 2016 starting a 6pm. Make sure you check out Kelly's blog and then follow us both (@DreamInLace and @FutureStylist93) on Twitter. Join in on the snark and the fashion of the first major awards show of the year!

2015 London Film Festival: "The Lobster" Premiere Wish List

Next Tuesday (October 13) "The Lobster" will premiere at the 2015 BFI London Film Festival. After a huge reception at the Cannes Film Festival in May I am excited to see what the stars will bring to the red carpet in London. Lea Seydoux skipped out on attending the films premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, and with a full load coming up promoting "Spectre" I am not so sure that she will be in London either. If she does I would love to see Lea step out of her Prada/Miu Miu box and rock this red floral embroidered Christian Dior Fall 2015 Couture sleeveless ankle length gown. Lea has been front row at a few of Raf Simons runway presentations for Dior Couture and I think that this would be an amazing break from her Prada/Miu Miu loyalty (though she is the only one with a 100% record of fabulous Prada/Miu Miu gowns.) Finished with a sleek hair, a light pink lip, and a pair of simple silver sandals and Lea would have a perfect red carpet moment.
Rachel Weisz has been having a wonderful red carpet run this year having made some beautiful choices during Cannes and TIFF. For the LFF premiere of "The Lobster" I would love to see Rachel wear this black Antonio Berardi Spring 2016 RTW spaghetti strap gown which is made less than basic by the beautiful crystal detailing down both sides! Rachel has such a banging body and this gown would hug every single one of her beautiful curves. Finish the look with a chic low bun, a red lip, and a pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps would give this look a classic Audrey Hepburn finish for a film festival red carpet.

#NYFF15: "The Lobster" Premiere Wish List

We are going to be seeing quite a bit of Lea Seydoux on the red carpet in the coming months. "The Lobster" is hitting almost all the major film festivals, and she is one of the femme fatale characters in the next Bond film "Spectre." For the New York Film Festival premiere of "The Lobster" I wold love to see Lea wear this white long sleeve Christian Dior Fall 2015 Couture cocktail dress with its embellished chainmail-esque overlay. I think that this simple dress is elevated by the chainmail overlay making this look anything but basic. I would keep the styling very clean to keep with the air of the ensemble finishing the look off with a pair of white Christian Louboutin sandals, loose waves, and a light pink lip.
We might actually see a lot of Rachel Weisz on the red carpet over the next few months too for the same reasons as Lea; as Rachel's husband is "Spectre" star Daniel Craig.  NYFF is a more laid back film festival so you wouldn't expect to see stars showing up in show stopping gowns, stunning cocktail ensembles are the norm. With that in mind I picked this black and white asymmetric Antonio Berardi Resort 2016 cocktail dress that is rendered in a variegated striped print and features an asymmetric neckline with a single off the shoulder sleeve, a fitted bodice with a layered blazer design at one side, and a knee length sheath silhouette. The fitted silhouette would show off all of Rachel's stunning curves. Finish with a pair of Christian Loubotuin black sandals, a red lip, and a sleek updo and Rachel would be perfectly dressed for the NYFF red carpet.

#Cannes2015: "Macbeth" Premiere Wish List

I don't think that it would be a Cannes Film Festival without Marion Cotillard and this year the stunning French beauty will be premiering not one but two films during the festival. I am sure that Marion will showcase many Christian Dior looks on the red carpet and I can't that that thrills me. For the "Macbeth" photocall and premiere, which is premiering In Competition,  I am picking only one look from Dior. The Dior look for Marion is a powder blue dress from the Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2015 dress which evokes the 1950's in a very modern way. I would strip back all of the runway styling loosing the boots and silver sequined top so that this look is chic and elegant and all about the dress. I would then pair this look with a pair of metallic electric blue Christian Dior pumps and some simple Chopard earrings to ensure that Marion is as elegant as ever. For her red carpet wardrobe change I have picked something a little more avant garde I am absolutely in love with this Antonio Berardi Fall 2015 RTW tiered duchess satin dress with leaf print jacquard inset rendered in a silk blend and features a jewel neckline with a fitted bodice in a leaf jacquard, and a flared skirt in a tiered ruffle design with an asymmetrical hem. What I love about this gown so much is that I feel like it mixes modernity and classic construction all in one stunning look, which most would be fearful of. Finish this look with a chic updo, a red lip, Chopard yellow diamond cluster earrings, and a pair of gold Christian Dior sandals, to fulfill Marion's responsibility to Dior, and this is a perfect set of looks for the Cannes Film Festival.

#Cannes2015: "Irrational Man" Premiere Wish List

I was actually really surprised, but delightfully so, to see "Irrational Man" pop up as an Out of Competition special screening for the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, because I read from sources close to the festival that the film was out of the running. I absolutely love seeing Emma Stone on the red carpet and I am excited to see what she will do with her first Cannes Film Festival appearance. For the films photocall I would love to see Emma wear this Antonio Berardi Fall 2015 RTW lilac long sleeved dress with leaf jacquard detail rendered in silk and features a sheath silhouette with a jewel neckline, a jacquard colorblock bodice, and a draped skirt with pleating detail and an asymmetrical hem. I don't know many that could take this dress and make it look effortless and I think that Emma would, with a pair of yellow sandals and loose waves this look would be perfection. For the wardrobe change for the red carpet gala premiere I would love to see Emma wear this Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture watercolor butterfly strapless gown. This gown screams Cannes and I have been dying to see Emma wear this gown on the red carpet since it first rocked the runway so I am sending prayers to the fashion gods that this is the gown that she chooses. A simple pair of gold satin sandals, simple earrings, a pink lip, and her hair styled into Marcel waves would ensure that the Cannes red carpet wouldn't even know what hit it.

2015 Academy Awards: Cate, Chloe, Dakota, Gwyneth & Jennifer Wish List

Winner of the 2015 Best Actress Oscar, Cate Blanchett will be on hand Sunday night at the 2015 Academy Awards as a presenter. I think the only sure thing about the Oscars red carpet is that Cate Blanchett will wear Armani. I am going to guess that Cate will wear a custom gown from Armani Prive founded from the ideas in the Spring 2015 Couture collection. If she were to pick one of the gowns right off the runway I would pick this one shoulder midnight blue silk blouse paired with a blue iridescent beaded skirt. I think that this coloring would look amazing against Cate's pale creamy complexion. A pair of black sandals, a red lip & Chopard diamond cluster earrings would finish off this perfectly for the Academy Awards red carpet.
Sunday night will mark the first Academy Awards for Chloe Grace Moretz. The 18 year old actress, whos film "Dark Places" will premiere later this year, will be on hand as a presenter. I am predicting that Chloe will most likely wear a custom gown but if I had to pick a runway gown for her to wear it would have to be this pastel pink embroidered back Antonio Berardi Spring 2015 RTW sleeveless silk organza gown which features a high round neck, an embroidered cape with sheer panels at the back and a floor length skirt with a train. I have been waiting to see this gown on the red carpet and thus far into awards season I am still waiting. This would be a glamorous yet youthful look for Chloe to wear for such a big night on the Academy Awards red carpet.
Dakota Johnson has yet to blow me away on the red carpet and I am not exactly thrilled that she is going to be on the red carpet at the Academy Awards come Sunday night. I am going to give her one more chance to give me something before I write her off. This Atelier Versace Fall 2014 Couture embellished sheer long sleeve top and satin ball skirt is what I think would make for a perfect red carpet look for Dakota for the red carpet at the Oscars. This is within Dakota's black and white color box that she has been living in and I think that this will make for a major red carpet moment. A chic updo, a red lip, a black clutch, simple diamond earrings and a pair of simple black sandals will finish this look off in a way that will make the gown the focus.
The moment that this Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture black cap sleeved embellished gown I put it on hold for Gwyneth Paltrow. This gown may remind me slightly of the Emilio Pucci ensemble that Gwynie wore for the 2011 Emmy Awards but I think that this look would still be able to hold it's own. I think first that this gown should be lined for the Oscars red carpet, and since Gwyneth is just presenting this would be a simple look for her to wear on the red carpet. A black clutch, old Hollywood waves, simple diamond earrings, a red lip and black sandals would finish this look off perfectly for the 2015 Academy Awards on Sunday night.
Well I am actually really surprised that Jennifer Aniston is going to be a presenter at this years Academy Awards, after many have vocalized that she was this years biggest snub. Never the less Jennifer will be on hand Sunday night to hand out one of those little gold men. I picked a tulle cap sleeve Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2015 that features a tulle construction with a V-neckline, a flared sheath silhouette and a pleated ruffled skirt. I am not a huge Aniston fan and I am on almost the same level of excitement for Jenn as I am for Dakota Johnson. As long as we don't see Jennifer's panties, a la the SAG Awards, I would count this as a win for her.

2015 Golden Globe Awards: Lorde, Meryl, Reese, & Rosamund Wish List

The eccentric Australian indie pop star Lorde is nominated for Best Original Song, Motion Picture for her hit song "Yellow Flicker Beat" from "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" at the Golden Globe Awards this coming Sunday. I am excited to see what the awkward red carpet star will wear for her big night amongst the film and television elite. Having established a relationship with Karl Lagerfeld and the House of Chanel, I could find no better option for her to wear than this grey Chanel Fall 2014 Couture tea length gown which features an embellished crop top that is embellished with crystals and cement beads. I think that this hard meets soft off the wall look would make for a perfect red carpet look for Lorde. I would pair the look with the runways concrete embellished flat sandals, her hair in its natural curly manner, and purple lipstick to make this a perfect look for the young singer for her first Movie/TV awards show.
What would awards season be without a nomination for the goddess Meryl Streep? This would definitely come as a shock, and thankfully we are not going to find out just yet. The iconic actress is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her role as the witch in "Into The Woods." I recently saw this film and Meryl was absolutely fabulous but I do not believe that this role will give her the Globe but every actress in the category is absolutely amazing. For the event I would love to see Meryl wear this navy blue Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2015 floral bouquet silk faille off the shoulder ball gown with an overlapping fold-over detail at the neckline with a fitted bodice, long sleeves, and a full ball skirt with a vibrant floral print. I saw this gown in the lookbook and immediately put this gown on reserve for Meryl for awards season in my mind. Finish the look with a chic up do, red lip, gold sandals, and a red clutch to ensure that Meryl looks absolutely amazing on the Golden Globes red carpet this coming Sunday night.
"Wild" has earned Reese Witherspoon a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama and I really can not wait to see what she will wear on the red carpet come Sunday night. During her promo tour for this film, which included the Toronto International Film Festival and London Film Festival, Reese wore black almost exclusively. She also wore black and white to the unofficial awards season kick off, so I am hoping and praying for color at the Golden Globe Awards. This is why I picked this pale pink Antonio Berardi Spring 2015 RTW sleeveless silk organza gown that features a fully embroidered attached cape. This is a simple gown from the front but definitely has a dramatic back. A pair of light gold Jimmy Choo 'Vamp' platform sandals, a light pink Edie Parker 'Lara' clutch, some Van Cleef & Arpels Pierres de Caractère Precious Light earrings, and a vintage Van Cleef & Arpels gold and diamond chain link bracelet would be the perfect accessories to compliment this ensemble. Finish the look with an old Hollywood up-do, simple eye makeup, and a red lip so that it will be sure that Reese has the perfect red carpet moment.
Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama nominee for "Gone Girl" Rosamund Pike has always been a favorite on the red carpet and since she just gave birth a few short weeks ago it will be interesting to see what she will bring to the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards this Sunday. At the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala Rosamund wore a trapeze dress that did not show any of her post baby body. I am hoping that she shows it off come Sunday night. This light to dark red ombre Elie Saab Fall 2015 Couture chiffon gown with a deep v-neckline would be an AMAZING red carpet moment. I would imagine that with the right shapewear and corsetry that any lingering problem areas would be relatively hidden and all that would be left would be Rosamund looking like she is ready to take home a Globe. Accessorize the look with the matching Elie Saab runway clutch, a pair of red sandals, a pair of diamond chandelier earrings, and a diamond bracelet to ensure that the gown is allowed to sing. A red lip, simple bun, and her fabulous smile are the last perfect finishing touches to ensure that all eyes will be on her.

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.

New Years Rocking Eve Wish List

Ladies and Gentlemen, 2015 is literally three days away now. On Wednesday night Ryan Seacrest will hold down the fort in New York City while Fergie will be hosting the Hollywood party for "Dick Clark's New Years Rocking Eve." Fergie always shuts the television screens down as she rocks stunning ensembles throughout the night. I picked three looks that I would love to see Fergie-ferg wear during her hostess duties. Up first is this stunning one shoulder Georges Chakra Spring 2015 RTW blueish greenish gown with embellishments and a slit to there. This gown is sexy and a pop of color that we don't often see on New Years Eve. In a sea of black, silver, and gold this gown will stand out. Up next is a Mugler Spring 2015 RTW ensemble which  consists of a silk crop top and fitted skirt with another slit to there. NYE is the perfect night to mix sexy and glamour which is exactly what this ensemble brings. Finally, we have a stunning all over embellished Zuhair Murad Fall 2014 Couture long sleeved cocktail dress with an asymmetrical hem. This is a wow moment and I am really praying that this will be one of the dresses that Fergie gets her hands on for New Years.
Taylor Swift is the headline performer for "Dick Clark's New Years Rocking Eve" in New York City. I am expecting her to sing hit songs like "Blank Space," "Style," and "Shake it Off" and praying that the telecast opens with Taylor performing "Welcome to New York." I think that this would make for a perfect set list for New Years Eve. With her reinvention of her sound there has also been a reinvention of Taylor's red carpet looks and I am excited to see what she will spend new years eve in. I would love to see her wear this Antonio Berardi Spring 2015 RTW suit ensemble. The light pink and red duchess silk blazer and pants paired with white, red, and black crossover color blocked asymmetric crop top ensemble is a sleek an sexy look for Taylor. The pants will have to sit at her natural waist as Taylor does not like to show her belly button. A pair of red pumps, a red lip, and sleek locks will finish off this look perfectly for "New Years Rocking Eve."

2014 London Film Festival: "Wild" Premiere Wish List

Recently we have seen Reese Witherspoon donning a lot of black for her red carpet appearances and while they have been okay nothing has wowed me. I am hoping that when Reese chooses her ensemble for the London Film Festival and her May Fair Hotel Gala premiere of "Wild" that she goes for high impact and color. This is why I picked this pale pink Antonio Berardi Spring 2015 RTW sleeveless silk organza gown that features a fully embroidered attached cape. This is a simple gown from the front but definitely has a dramatic back. A pair of light gold Jimmy Choo 'Vamp' platform sandals, a light pink Edie Parker 'Lara' clutch, some Van Cleef & Arpels Pierres de Caractère Precious Light earrings, and a vintage Van Cleef & Arpels gold and diamond chain link bracelet would be the perfect accessories to compliment this ensemble. Finish the look with an old Hollywood up-do, simple eye makeup, and a red lip so that it will be sure that Reese has the perfect rec carpet moment on the London Film Festival Red carpet.

2014 Grammy Awards: Nominee Wish List Part 1

Sunday night will bring us another big awards show red carpet, and quite possibly the funnest one of the season, The Grammy's. Alicia Keys has one nomination at this years Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album for 'Girl on Fire.' I will say at the end of 2013 Alicia worked the stage, performing at several different events, in designers like Armani Prive and Manning Cartel and I am hoping that she will keep up the fantastic looks come Sunday. While a new Alexandre Vauthier collection was released today I think that Alicia should wear this edgy Alexandre Vauthier Fall 2013 Couture halter neck mono-chromatic ensemble. I think what makes me love this look for Alicia is the mix of classic and uber sexy, which is exactly what works for her. Finish the look with a pair of gold Christian Louboutin sandals and some simple jewelry and this will make for the perfect Grammy look.
Last year Beyonce might not have taken to the red carpet a lot but showed her amazing sense of style through her performance ensembles while on her Mrs. Carter World Tour and ultimately won my Entertainer of the Year award. Sunday night Beyonce is nominated as the featured artist on her hubby Jay-Z's Best Rap/Sung Collaboration or 'Part II (On the Run)' and I am praying for a stunning red carpet ensemble. I am turning to one of the brands that Bey wore quite a bit while on tour, Emilio Pucci. This body hugging white Emilio Pucci Spring 2014 RTW long sleeved gown features quite a bit of skin for a gown which is so covered up and I think that it would look absolutely fantastic on Beyonce. Add a white and gold Edie Parker clutch and a pair of Christian Louboutin gold sandals to complete this look and give Beyonce a best dressed list worth ensemble.
While Amy Adams gave us our first peak into the Valentino Shanghai Collection 2013 on the red carpet at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, I am hoping that we will see Grammy nominee Florence Welch also pluck a gown from this collection. Florence Welch is nominated in collaboration with Calvin Harris for a Best Dance Song Grammy for their hit 'Sweet Nothing.' I am hoping to see the indie rock diva wear this red and maroon Valentino Shanghai Collection 2013 long sleeved collard gown. This is something that I can see Flo really going for on a red carpet, it's floaty and very vintage looking. With her red hair pulled up and a pair of red sandals on her feet a red lip will be all that I wish for to complete this ensemble for the Grammy Awards red carpet.
I have not loved a Katy Perry look in a very long time. Last year Katy ditched the quirky persona that made me fall in love with her in favor of much more sophisticated looks. If sophisticated is the route that Katy is going to go then I would like to see the the Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance nominee for 'Roar' wear this white Giambattista Valli Fall 2013 Couture rise and fall strapless gown. The Spring 2014 Collection for Giambattista Valli was presented yesterday in Paris but I am still holding out a little bit of hope that this gown will get a red carpet appearance and I think the new Katy is the girl to do it. Finish the look with a strappy pair of silver sandals and some statement diamond earrings in her ears and Katy will make a big sophisticated statement.
And finally for today we have Best Song Written for Visual Media ('Young & Beautiful' from 'The Great Gatsby') and Best Pop Vocal Album (Paradise) nominee Lana Del Rey. I am usually very indifferent to anything Lana Del Rey does. She usually fails to elicit any excitement from me in either her music or fashion so I really don't follow her work. With that said I do not expect much from her at the Grammy's but in the slight hope that she might surprise me I think that this black, white, and ivory Antonio Berardi Spring 2014 RTW gown would actually look really stunning on Lana. Lana is a British star who tends to rock British brands and one of the ultimate's right now is Antonio Berardi. Finish this look with a black clutch and a pair of black sandals and Lana will shock me with a great look at the 2014 Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

2014 Golden Globe Awards: Everyone Else Wish List Part 3

 Really late last night over here on the east coast of the United States the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced that Amber Heard is going to be amongst the presenters tomorrow night at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards. I am so excited to see what the bombshell sexpot will wear on the red carpet for this event. This grape purple gown from the Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2014 strapless gown with hot pink lining is an absolutely perfect look for Amber for this event. This Oscar de la Renta collection was inspired by vintage Cecil Beaton photographs of fashion by American couturier Charles James. This is the perfect way to bring that vintage glam via a modern route. I would finish this look with the runway pink satin clutch, a pair of simple black Saint Laurent sandals, and a dazzling pair of drop earrings in Amber's ears to complete the perfect look for the Golden Globe Awards tomorrow night.
 Anne Hathaway is the only woman that took home an acting award last year at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards that hasn't been confirmed to return to the event to present this year. I am remaining hopeful because on the fifth was the last time the paparazzi snapped a picture of the actress she was arriving at LAX Airport on January 5th. I am praying that she will take to the red carpet and kinda give me the red carpet moments I was really dreaming of her giving me last year. I think that this girly pink Monique Lhuillier Spring 2014 RTW gown is very bohemian chic and extremely feminine, which is exactly what Anne Hathaway loves in a red carpet gown. I would just pair this gown with some simple jewels and a pair of silver sandals to keep the look as simple and glamorous as possible.
 'Game of Thrones' has really jettesoned Emilia Clarke onto the major red carpet scene as she always steps out and wow's me on the red carpet sometimes in simple ensembles and sometimes in extremely avant garde designs. The moment that Emilia was announced as a presenter for tomorrow nights Golden Globe Awards I knew that I would die if she wore this shell pink Vivienne Westwood Spring 2014 RTW gown. This gown is a classic, architectural, sculptural design from the Westwood house but I am absolutely in love with this gown even though it seems like something that we have seen a million times from the house. A gold minaudiere, a pair of dazzling gold sandals (as they will be visible), and some simple jewelry will complete this amazing red carpet moment for Emilia.
 When the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced that Emma Stone was going to be among the presenters at this years Golden Globe Awards tomorrow night I might have let out the slightest of fan girl squeals. Emma has always been one of my favorites on the red carpet and unfortunately we did not see a whole lot of Emma last year. This year though I am sure that we will be seeing a lot of her due to her press tour for 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' as well as several other projects that will be premiering throughout the year. I hope that she will be starting the year off with a bang tomorrow night. This red and pink color blocked Antonio Berardi Spring 2014 RTW gown is something that not many can pull off and Emma Stone is one of them. Emma usually brings the whole package to the red carpet and I would finish this look with a simple red satin clutch, a pair of red Salvatore Ferragamo peep-toe satin pumps, slicked back hair, and a red lip will make this a a perfect look for the Globes.
 Kate Beckinsale is one of the ULTIMATE red carpet divas and I am really excited to see what she will wear as she takes to the Golden Globe Awards red carpet tomorrow night as a presenter. This white Giambattista Valli Fall 2013 Couture strapless gown with floral embellished peplum would look absolutely amazing on Kate and she would work the hell out of this gown. Kate usually has really good styling and even though I do not think this gown needs a whole lot but some fantastic colored stones in her ears and on her finger as well as a pair of silver Salvatore Ferragamo pumps will be all that this gown needs to finish it off styling wise.
And last but not least we have our last wish for the 2014 Golden Globe Awards! A sad moment, I know, but we have a jam packed first half of 2014 and the wishes will not stop coming. Zoe Saldana was one of the lovely ladies who helped announce the nominations for the Golden Globes last month and I am excited to see what she wears tomorrow night as a presenter. This ice blue Jason Wu Spring 2014 RTW mermaid gown is absolutely stunning. Jason Wu made a gown that mixes this high/low style with high fashion red carpet couture and the one of the few people that I can see wearing this and really making it work is Zoe. Finish the look with a silver clutch, a pair of silver sandals, and some absolutely amazing diamonds in her ears and on her wrist will make this the perfect look for Zoe to wear for the 2014 Golden Globe Awards tomorrow night.


REMEMBER! Tomorrow night I will be taking to Twitter (@FutureStylist93) to dish on all the fashion, gossip, and all the winners and losers. Hope that all of you will join me there and join in on the conversation! Do actually converse with people on Twitter, especially on awards nights!

2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards Wish List Part 1

Adele Exarchopoulos is a new face on the red carpet after debuting her film 'Blue is the Warmest Color' at the Cannes Film Festival wearing Balmain and Gucci. The film as garnered the 20 year old actress a nomination for Best Young Actor/Actress at the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards on January 16th 2014. Having worn some very simple and some very complicated looks I am torn on what to put her in but I ultimately decided to put the French starlet in this Valentino Spring 2014 RTW folk style gown. I think that the star just oozes sex though her pours so that even though that she would be completely covered up in this gown. Finish the look with a pair of nude sandals and a gold clutch to add the right finishing touches.
American Hustle star is Amy Adams has garnered a nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy for her work in the film at the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards. Earlier this year Amy Adams wore a top and skirt by Vionnet to this event when she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her work in 'The Master.' I have kinda kept the same style for her to wear with this 30s inspired Jenny Packham Spring 2014 RTW gown. I am in love with this gown and I am praying that I will see it take to a red carpet during the 2014 Awards Season and Amy would make the perfect model for this look on the red carpet. Finish the look with a Prada box clutch that matches the salmon pink band in the dress, a pair of bronze Christian Louboutin d'orsay knot peep toe platform pumps as well as some stunning statement jewels in her ears, around her wrist, and on her finger from Bulgari.
My queen of the red carpet Cate Blanchett has been nominated for Best Actress for her work in the Woody Allen flick 'Blue Jasmine' at the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards. I am predicting that during the course of awards season that we will see Cate wear one Antonio Berardi ensemble and I think that this pink and red color blocked gown from the Spring 2014 RTW collection will look absolutely amazing on the red carpet. This is amazing dress needs someone with the presence of Cate to pull it off and then who better than the queen. Finish the look very simply with a red Roger Vivier clutch, a pair of red Roger Vivier sandals, and Van Cleef & Arpels diamond drop earrings to ensure that all eyes will be one the queen.
Best Actress for 'Saving Mr. Banks' nominee Emma Thompson has not exactly thrilled me on the red carpet whilst out promoting the film, but I am hoping now that she has garnered some nominations that she will be able to make me fall love some of her looks (if not all). For the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards I think that this Naeem Khan Pre-Fall 2014 gown with gold beaded draped fringe would be the perfect gown for the 54 year old British actress. Add a simple Jimmy Choo 'Tube' clutch in gold, a pair of black Salvatore Ferragamo satin peep toe pumps, a pair of Chopard Red Carpet Collection fire opal earrings, and a turtle shaped Chopard ring that consists of 16 carats of yellow, brown, and cognac diamonds to finish off a chic sophisticated look for the nominee.
It would be a delight to see Best Actress in an Action Movie for 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' nominee Evangeline Lilly take to the red carpet at the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards. Whilst on the promo tour for this film Evangeline wore a stunning Catherine Dean stone white gown (pictured left) and I still think her best ever red carpet look came from the 'You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger' premiere at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival with a blue and green fringe Emilio Pucci cocktail dress. For this event I think that this slinky body hugging Emilio Pucci Spring 2014 RTW white long sleeve gown that features slashes all over the sleeves and down the sides would make Mrs Lilly looks like a sexy femme fatale queen. An ivory and silver Edie Parker 'Jean' stripe box clutch, a pair of Jimmy Choo 'Lance' sandals, A pair of dazzling Chopard drop earrings featuring 23 carats of emeralds and 5 carats of diamond, and a 20 carat emerald Chopard cocktail ring set in a setting of platinum and diamonds will ensure that this is one of the best looks of the night.
Relative red carpet newcomer Greta Gerwig first stepped out for the world to see on the arm of designer Prabal Gurung wearing one of his creations at the 2012 Met Ball and she looked fantastic' so naturally I turned to the designer to find her look for the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards where she is nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy for her work in the film 'Francis Ha.' Having a knack for wearing some of the more avant garde looks I chose this bright blue look from the Prabal Gurung Spring 2014 RTW collection which features a portrait neckline. This look takes a very brave woman to make it work and I think that Greta can be one of those women. A pair of simple Jimmy Choo silver 'Raven' sandals, a mirrored Jimmy Choo 'Cosma' Clutch, as well as a pair of Harry Winston sapphire and diamond earrings from 1975, and a newer Harry Winston diamond and sapphire bracelet would complete this absolutely perfect look for Greta.
