2015 Berlin Film Festival Jury Members Wish List

Two years ago Audrey Tautou played the role of Mistress of Ceremonies at the Cannes Film Festival, and looked absolutely amazing doing so, and this year we will see her take to the red carpet as a member of the International Jury, which chooses the winners of the main competition. When I saw this amazing electric blue lace Christian Dior Spring 2015 Couture strapless tea length full skirted evening gown, my breath stopped. The dress is definitely one of my favorite Dior creations in a long time and I think that Audrey would give us a major Audrey Hepburn moment on the Berlinale red carpet in this gown. Audrey has a good friendship with Dolce & Gabbana so I figure one look will come from the house over the course of the festival. If she chooses to wear a gown from the collection, over a look for the photocall, I picked this Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2015 RTW printed gown. I think that this gown is a statement and Audrey would make it look like Haute Couture. Speaking of couture I think that this Giambattista Valli Fall 2014 Couture jumpsuit with chiffon house coat would be an amazing moment, probably my favorite if she wore it, because it is something that we NEVER see on the red carpet and Audrey is the perfect candidate to make this a perfect red carpet moment. And finally I picked a menswear inspired Lanvin Pre-Fall 2015 tuxedo that incorporates crystal embellishments on the shoulders. Menswear dressing is quickly becoming the biggest trend of 2015 and I think that this would be the perfect way for Audrey to join on on the fun. Add a menswear inspired button down and a pair of killer Christian Louboutin heels and this would make for a perfect look for a film festival premiere, but only if one wishes to stand out.

Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko is on the First Film Jury and I am praying that she will be on the perfect form that she was during the end of 2014. Olga has long proved why I love her so much with an amazing red carpet history and only narrowly not making Best Dressed of the Year lists several times. I think that this could be Olga's year. If Olga could get her hands on my favorite gown from the Chanel Fall 2014 Couture collection, then I think that this would be her first BDOTY contender. The silver and grey gown embellished with sequins and concrete beads is not for the faint of heart to wear on the red carpet and I think Olga is one of the few that has the presence to not make this gown look heavy. For a bold color statement I would have Olga wear this cinnamon red Marches Pre-Fall 2015 embroidered v-neck tulle ball gown rendered in tulle and features a deep V-neckline with scalloped lace detailing and a fully ruffled skirt. Going down the soft ethereal route this lavender Ralph & Russo Spring 2015 Couture gown would be absolutely perfect on Olga with her dark hair and milky skin. And finally a look going for edge and beauty would be this amazing Valentino Pre-Fall 2015 midnight blue tulle ball gown covered with galactic embroidery all over. This is probably the biggest statement that Olga could make on the red carpet. Not many would dare to wear this type of embroidered gown on the red carpet at a major film festival, and I think Olga is the one.

2014 Kennedy Center Honors Wish List Part 1

2013 Cannes Film Festival: Closing Ceremony & 'Zulu' Gala Premiere

The 2013 Cannes Film Festival will come to a close on Sunday May 26th with a glamorous celebrity packed awards ceremony immediately followed by the premiere of 'Zulu.' Mistress of Ceremonies Audrey Tautou, who is sadly missed on the red carpet during the events, will take to the stage to host the awards ceremony. Audrey looked stunning wearing a custom Yiqing Yin gown for the Opening Ceremony, and I am hoping that she will wow again on Sunday. This navy blue Chanel Spring 2012 Couture gown is something that I would love to see Audrey wear as it is classic yet still glamorous and memorable. Finish with stunning diamond jewelry and black peep toe pump and Audrey will meet if not exceed my expectations for her.

At the Opening Ceremony of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, Nicole Kidman took a huge risk wearing a Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture tea length dress. That risk payed off and I am hoping to see her wow me again on Sunday. This red Valentino Fall 2010 Couture gown has been sitting in the designers archive and I just can not understand why. I think that Nicole would look stunning wearing this 60s inspired gown. The last major red gown moment that Nicole had on the red carpet was her red Balenciaga at the 2007 Academy Awards so she is LONG overdue for another. A rockabilly inspired updo, a red clutch, red sandals, and stunning Chopard diamond earrings would be the perfect toppings to this amazing gown.

Finally we have the final wish for the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Miranda Kerr will most likely be in attendance at the Closing Ceremony of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival as her husband, Orlando Bloom, is one of the stars of 'Zulu' which will be the closing film of the festival. Miranda always looks glamorous when she steps out be it to get her divers license renewed, attend a promotional event for Victoria's Secret, or walk a red carpet. For this event I would love to see her wear this amazing cream Naeem Khan Fall 2013 RTW gown. This is a perfect look for someone who will be just attending the event as a plus one but will still allow her to hold her own on the glamorous red carpet. A pair of gunmetal Jimmy Choo 'Lance' sandals, a gunmetal silver clutch, and sparkling diamond jewelry will have all eyes on her.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: amFAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala Wish List Part 1

On the 23rd of May there will be a grand partnership of Hollywood, fashion, and awareness as amFAR, the AIDS research superpower, hosts their annual amFAR Cinema Against AIDS gala at the Hotel Du Caps in Antibes, France just outside of Cannes. Its a rare night where the red carpet has nothing to do with a premiere so everyone will mix and mingle there way while raising funds to help find a cure for AIDS. Everyone attends this event from members of the Jury to the stars of the films being presented and of course the Mistress of Ceremonies. Audrey Tautou is not one to take to the red carpet often but for this event I would love to see the French actress wear this amazing red, black, and white Armani Prive Spring 2013 Couture gown. This is a glamorous yet effortless option for Audrey to wear for this event. Complete the ensemble with a red clutch, black pumps, and simple Chopard jewels to ensure a best dressed worthy moment.

Yesterday French actress Berenice Bejo presented her newest film 'The Past' at the Cannes Film Festival and I am hoping that she will stick around to attend the amFAR Cinema Against AIDS gala next Thursday. Last year Berenice wore a stunning Giambattista Valli Couture gown and I am hoping that she is able to top that moment this year. If she were to don this gold Elie Saab Spring 2013 Couture gown for the event then I am hopeful that she would be able to top herself. Add a gold Salvatore Ferragamo minaudiere and gold Christian Louboutin pumps as well as some canary Chopard diamond earrings and Berenice will make an amazing red carpet appearance.

Recently Diane Kruger was named the face of Chanel Skincare so I am hoping that she will make her mark on the amFAR red carpet. As a new face of Chanel I know that Diane will be the first woman that gets her hands on the Chanel Resort 2014 collection. I think that this black and white gown with a sequined top from the Chanel Resort 2014 collection is perfect choice for Diane as it goes perfectly with her effortless style of red carpet dressing. Complete with a black Chanel clutch, Christian Louboutin 'Super Vic' black and silver crystal encrusted pumps, and stunning Chanel diamond jewelry and Diane will have a best dressed ensemble on her hands.

I had to change my wish for Fan Bingbing at the last minute because the Queen of Cannes wore a similar gown (which I had desperately wanted her to wear) to a premiere on the second day of the festival. So I dug into the Atelier Versace archives to find her the best possible gown for the 2013 amFAR Cinema Against AIDS gala. I love this royal blue silk Atelier Versace Spring 2008 Couture gown. I am surprised that I could not find someone wearing this dress and I am in love with this amazing blue gown. A chic up do and black crystal encrusted Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps as well as dazzling Chopard diamonds and Fan will keep on wowing me on the red carpet.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: 'The Immigrant' Premiere

Marion Cotillard will present her second film of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival 'The Immigrant' on May 23rd adding a little glamour to the end of the festival. For this premiere much like the one for 'Blood Ties' I have dug into the Christian Dior archives to find a gown for Marion to wear. While I do love what Raf Simons has done for Dior the collections are limited as they are hot tickets so I do believe that Marion will wear a custom creation by creative director Mr Simons I am going to put out some wishful thinking. This teal and yellow Christian Dior Fall 2005 Couture gown designed by John Galliano is one of my favorite gowns from this house of all time and I am surprised I have never seen this gem turn up on the red carpet. Of course I would have the gown lined but in gold not nude or yellow. A 1920's finger wave inspired hairstyle, a teal clutch, and some gold sandals are what is needed to add the finishing touches to this amazing gown.

For jury member Nicole Kidman I also looked back the Fall 2005 Couture collection archives. I am expecting amazing things out of Nicole during the course of the festival and I think that this midnight blue Elie Saab Fall 2005 Couture gown is a perfect choice. Now I am sure that since the announcement that she was going to be a jury member designers have been throwing current runway and custom gowns at the stunning Australian beauty. Despite this I think that Nicole would look absolutely in this amazing beaded gown. Add to this amazing gown a blue clutch, and some amazing Jimmy Choo sandals as Nicole was announced yesterday as the new face of the brand, and some amazing sapphire and diamond jewelry by event sponsor Chopard and Nicole will hit another red carpet home run.

Another wish for Mistress of Ceremonies Audrey Tautou to wear while attending the premieres during the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Face of Chanel No. 5 and a woman who has played the famed designer herself. Another archive pick for the red carpet this amazing gold and blue Chanel Fall 2009 Couture peplum gown would be the perfect option for Audrey to wear during the festival. I am hoping that she fairs better than she did at her photocall yesterday wearing a lackluster Red Valentino sundress. Finish this Chanel gown with a pair of black pumps and she will be absolutely wow me on the red carpet.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: 'Behind the Candelabra' Premiere Wish List

All of the major stars of the film 'Behind The Candelabra' are male but star Michael Douglas will hopefully bring his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones to add some Hollywood glamour. I think that this amazing black Ralph Lauren Fall 2013 RTW silk gown. This is a simple subtle look for Catherine as she is not the person the focus of this event is on. Finish with a Salvatore Ferragamo minaudiere, black Christian Louboutin embellished pumps, as well as some incredibly dazzling diamonds, and of course sans feather jacket. Catherine has always been one to wow me on the red carpet and I am hoping that Cannes will be no different.

'Behind the Candelabra' is an HBO film that will be presented as an official selection which Nicole Kidman was in the HBO film 'Hemingway & Gellhorn' so I am sure that she will attend this premiere. Nicole is expected to wear at least one L'Wren Scott design during the course of the festival as L'Wren is her stylist. This will be the only wish that I make for her to wear for the event. I think that this black and gold strapless L'Wren Scott Fall 2013 RTW art deco inspired gown. A black and gold Bulgari clutch, a pair of black Jimmy Choo pumps, and some stunning yellow diamond jewelry from Chopard and Nicole will keep the red carpet glamorous.

I am hoping that Audrey Tautou will be seen more than the Opening and Closing Ceremonies as well as the amFAR gala but at some of the premieres in between all of them. The precedent set for the Mistress of Ceremonies varies from just those events to attending several of the premieres outside of those events. If she were to attend this premiere I would love to see her wear this cream Christian Lacroix Fall 2007 Couture gown. I was saddened in 2010 when the Christian Lacroix label closed and his avant garde designs stopped showing up on the red carpet. I have been in love with this look since I saw it in Vogue and again in the first 'Sex and the City' movie. Complete with a pair of champagne and crystal Christian Louboutin satin pointy toe pumps, simple pink diamond Chopard earrings, and a silver clutch would complete this ensemble.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: Opening Ceremony & 'The Great Gatsby' Premiere Wish List

Nicole Kidman is a member of this year Cannes Film Festival feature film jury and I can not be more excited. For the Opening Ceremony gala premiere of 'The Great Gatsby' I would love to see Nicole wear this amazing white Elie Saab Spring 2013 Couture gown with a short cape. Yes I want Nicole to dare to wear the cape. Nicole is one of the few people in Hollywood that could pull off this gown which has been a favorite runway look from fashion critics worldwide. Pair this dress with an old Hollywood up do and a pair of silver sandals. And to complete the ensemble bring a pop of color via a pair of Chopard diamond and sapphire earrings and ring would complete this amazing opening ceremony ensemble.

Audrey Tautou is the Mistress of Ceremonies at this years Cannes Film Festival so she will be on hand to host the opening and closing ceremonies. For the opening ceremony I would love to see Audrey wear this Lanvin gown that I found on Net-A-Porter.com in cream but wear it in a blue like I have shown here. I think that this is a perfect look for the French beauty who loves to rep classic French brands. Finish the look with a pair of black pumps, a Chanel diamond and pearl Camilla ring, and diamond and pearl Chanel bracelet and earrings and Audrey will wow which she has not done in a very long time.

The promo tour for 'The Great Gatsby' from Carey Mulligan has been very lack luster and I am hoping that when she presents the film as the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival on May 15th that she brings the high fashion glamour that she is known for. I would take this pearl silver Lanvin Fall 2013 RTW cocktail dress and have it made into a full length ball gown. There were some stunning ballgowns made by Lanvin last year, most notably the pink gown worn by Natalie Portman, and I think that this would be a perfect look for Carey for this event. Finish with a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo silver satin pumps, and some amazing Tiffany & Co. (the official jewelers of The Great Gatsby) jewelry and a wavy up do and Carey will finally wow me on the red carpet.

Isla Fisher has never been to the Cannes Film Festival so I am predicting that she will live up the opportunity to wear a big glamorous gown for her big night. I think that this pink Tony Ward Spring 2013 Couture ball gown is perfect for Isla for the big night. Pair this with a pair of nude pumps, and a gunmetal silver clutch, as well as some simple diamond earring and bracelet and Isla will be able to hold her own against fashion heavy hitters like Carey and Nicole on the red carpet of the Palais de Festivals during the Opening Ceremony.

Beyonce's husband Jay-Z produced the soundtrack for the film and Bey was one of the performers on it as well. I would not be surpirised to see Queen B walk arm in arm with her husband because on top of all of those factors she is also a L'Oreal spokesmodel. For this premiere I would love to see her wear this black Zuhair Murad Fall 2013 RTW one shouldered gown. This gown will look absolutely amazing on Beyonce's body but is subdued enough not to take the spotlight away from the nights big stars. Complete the look with a pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals and some amazing statement jewelry including earring and a bracelet from Beyonce's go to jeweler Lorraine Schwartz.

For the past three years Chinese actress Fan Bingbing has attended the Opening Ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival wearing a cultural inspired gown and the fashion world waits to see what she chooses. All of her gowns have been custom made for her for the event but if I were able to choose a runway gown it would have to be this red and gold Guo Pei Spring 2013 Couture ball gown with fan and dragon embellishments. This would be the biggest gown she has worn at the festival and is reminicient in shape of the hot pink Marchesa gown she wore for this years Oscar's ceremony. A gold and red Anya Hindmarch fan clutch and a pair of gold peep toe pumps would be the perfect accessories to this amazing gown for Fan for the Opening Ceremony.

As a sponsor of the Cannes Film Festival, Chopard tends to send model to help add glamour to the red carpet much like L'Oreal. Eva Herzigova has been one of these models who has introduced important collections for the brand like their 'Marylin Forever' set during last years festival. This year I would love to see Eva wear this amazing fully beaded Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2013 RTW dress with 3/4 length sleeves made into a gown with a sweeping train. Add some diamond and ruby earrings, a red clutch, and a pair of silver sandals and Eva will be set for the red carpet.

2012 Toronto Film Festival: Premiere Wish List Part Seven

Andrea Riseborough was one of last years winners of the 'One To Watch' in last years End of the Year Awards after making a huge splash on the red carpet wearing amazing couture creations last year whilst promoting Madonna's film 'W.E.' in which she stared. Although we have not seen much of Andrea this year she has still given us a few amazing looks from Marchesa and Marios Schwab, she is set to make an appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote her newest film 'Disconnect.' Andrea is someone who tends to go for the extravagant looks when she walks the red carpet. For this premiere I would like to see Andrea wear this silver sequin and and nude chiffon draped Vionnet Fall 2012 RTW gown. I think that this look is simple yet makes a huge impact all at the same time and would be perfect for this premiere.

Amy Adams was a no show at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of 'On The Road' but sources say that she will venture to Toronto, Canada for its premiere there. Amy Adams is a huge fan of Giambattista Valli and I am almost positive that she will wear the brand for her premiere. I think that this Giambattista Valli Resort 2013 with a ruffled shoulder gown. Pair this look with gold strappy sandals and a gold clutch and she is red carpet ready.

Kirsten Dunst is one that I either love or hate on the red carpet and while she has had some ok appearances lately she hasn't really wow'ed me in a while. While I do not think that this cheery lemon yellow Andrew Gn Resort 2013 dress would WOW me I think that I would most likely still put this look on the best dressed list especially if she wowed me with some amazing bold accessories like a sparkling gold clutch and a pair of green sandals to really wow me.

Selena Gomez will be promoting her new film 'Spring Breakers' during the TIFF this year and to keep with this fun theme I have chosen to put her in this amazing sapphire blue Moschino Fouall 2012 RTW dress with a feathered skirt. It is a dress that has a young youthful air about it but still has a mature look about it. Finish it off with a blue Edie Parker clutch and gunmetal Jimmy Choo sandals and a high pony tail to complete the look for the red carpet.

Nicole Kidman is about to become a very busy lady on the red carpet promoting all her films in the coming months and attending the Emmy Awards later this month and I am hoping that the Nicole who has been giving us amazing hollywood glamour all year keeps it up. I would love to see her wear this gold emblellished Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture dress with 3/4 length sleeves. Pair this with a pair of gold strappy Manolo Blahnik sandals and a gold Jimmy Choo tube clutch will make an amazing top to this look which has an unexpected open back.

Audrey Tautou shocked the fashion industry for two reasons at this years Cannes Film Festival Closing Ceremony which premiered her film 'Therese Desqueyroux,' which is also premiering at TIFF, by wearing a tea length dress by Prada instead of Chanel. Well I do not believe that she will stray from the brand for long and will be back in their couture frocks during the Toronto Film Festival. I think that this vintage inspired leaf print dress from the Chanel Fall 2012 Couture collection would be amazing. I think that the ankle length is amazing which keeps this look from being overly formal for the event. Pair this with a black Chanel clutch and some black strappy sandals and this look is complete

Cannes Film Festival: Closing Ceremony Gala Screening of 'Therese Desqueyroux'

The Closing Ceremony of the 2012 Cannes Film Festival features a gala screening of 'Thérèse Desqueyroux' staring Audrey Tautou. Audrey exclusively wears Chanel on the red carpet which is fitting after she played the brands founder Coco Chanel on the big screen. For this premiere I would love to see Audrey wear this blue gown with multicolored strong shouldered Chanel Fall 2009 Couture gown. I think that Audrey would look amazing in this gown. I know that it is a long shot to ask Audrey to wear gold pumps as I am sure that she will pair this with black satin pumps.

This is the second time that Berenice Bejo will have duties at the festival and I think that she should wear this amazing fully beaded white Elie Saab Fall 2009 Couture work of art. This is not just a gown but with all the detail in it, it is truly a work of art and deserves to be in a museum somewhere. Just add a pair of silver pumps and maybe some bold emerald jewelry to complete this stunning ensemble.

Last but not least we have the final look for Diane Kruger to wear at the festival. Diane will most likely wear something more relaxed at this event which is why I have picked this nude Elie Saab Spring 2010 Couture gown with strong shoulders. I think that this gown would look amazing on Diane and it shocks me to this point that no one has worn it yet. Add a gold clutch, and gold strappy sandals and she is set for her final red carpet.
