2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish Lists Part 8

Continuing on with my week of Oscar parties wishes today kicking off with Dita Von Teese. I am always interested to see what the stunning burlesque queen will wear on the red carpet. I am hoping that Dita will make an appearance at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party wearing this amazing black Ulyana Sergeenko Fall 2015 Couture cocktail dress. This cocktail dress would make for an amazing red carpet moment on Dita with her stunning vintage beauty. I can picture Dita working the red carpet with her vintage inspired curls, signature red lip, the runways black fur pom-pom Christian Louboutin pumps, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings would ensure that this is an amazing r ed carpet moment for Dita.
I am really hoping that Gwen Stefani is going to make an appearance on Oscar night. Years ago Gwen made it through many red carpet moments on Oscar night wearing some of the best designers like Chanel Couture and Vera Wang. For this year's Vanity Fair Oscar Party I would love to see Gwen wearing this amazing fuchsia ombre Marchesa Spring 2016 RTW gown features a bird and botanical threadwork embroidered bodice with a tea length satin faced organza tiered skirt. When Gwen goes avant garde glamour on the red carpet I always fall head over heels in love with her look. I would finish this look off with a pair of black peep toe pumps, a black clutch, chic updo, red lip, and diamond cluster earrings to ensure that Gwen has an amazing red carpet moment.
I am betting that Oscar night is going to be a big night for Lady Gaga. Gaga is nominated for Best Original Song and I am really hoping that she takes the prize home. After the big ceremony, where she will also perform that nominated song, I would love to see Gaga change into this amazing Stephane Rolland Spring 2016 Couture jumpsuit which features an amazing crystal neckline and a dramatic train. This type of look takes a certain personality to pull off and Gaga definitely has the presence to make this look work on the red carpet. I would finish this look off for Gaga with a pair of diamond cluster earrings, silver crystal Christian Louboutin 'Daffodile' platform pumps, old Hollywood waves, red lip, and a lined eye to just top off what I am hoping will be another perfect red carpet moment for Gaga on Oscar night.
Naomie Harris has been on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party the past two years and I am hoping that she will be back on the Hollywood red carpet next Sunday night. I would love to see Naomi wearing this amazing Balmain Pre-Fall 2016 navy velvet gown with lace cut-out details. This look is a perfect red carpet moment waiting to happen. Like I said in a recent post, this Balmain collection has been my favorite from the brand in a very long time and I bet that we will see at least one look from the collection on the red carpet on Oscar night. Style this look with a navy Edie Parker clutch, navy peep toe pumps, old Hollywood waves, and a red lip would ensure that Naomie slays the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
While she might be over in Europe on the fashion show circuit but I would love to see Olivia Palermo out in full force on the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet. The fashionista knows how to work some amazing avant garde lady like looks on the red carpet. I would love to see Olivia wearing this yellow Sachin + Babi Pre-Fall 2016 high low bow accented floral embroidered gown on this red carpet. As the queen of red carpet accessorizing and I could picture Olivia pairing this gown with a yellow feathered clutch & gold sandals to just take this look over the top for an Oscar night red carpet.

2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish List Part 4

Model Chanel Iman has been spotted at all the major parties over the last year so I am sure that the Vanity Fair Oscar Party veteran will be out on Oscar night. Chanel is one of the few models whom I actually quite enjoy seeing on the red carpet and I cannot wait to see what she is going to bring to the red carpet next Sunday night. I would love to see Chanel wearing this cream Zuhair Murad Spring 2016 Couture long sleeve gown which featured beaded stripes and mid-section cutouts. I think that this demur, but still very sexy look is the perfect thing for a model to choose for an Oscar night red carpet. With this look Chanel will be able to hold her own against some of the hardest hitting red carpet stars, who will undoubtedly be on top form that night.
Charlize Theron is one of the women whom I have reserved high expectations for come Oscar night. Charlize is one of the nights presenters, and I am sure that she will be wearing a gorgeous custom Christian Dior Couture gown for the ceremony. I am here wishing that Charlize will change out of her Dior Couture gown from the ceremony and into this black and white Zac Posen Spring 2016 RTW gown rendered in a printed velvet devore and features an inverted halter that drapes at the back, a relaxed floor length silhouette, and an exposed split at the back. This was one of my favorite gowns from Spring 2016 and I am sad that it hasn't had a red carpet moment yet and I think that Charlize would slay a red carpet wearing this gown. Finish with diamond cluster earrings, a red lip, black Dior clutch, and black Christian Louboutin sandals to just let this gown do all the talking.
Diane Kruger has been making the rounds during New York Fashion Week seated front row at all of her favorite labels like Prabal Gurung and Jason Wu, probably looking for a look for Oscar night. While there a definitely a bunch of looks from NYFW that I would love to see Diane wearing I would most like to see her wearing this blue Balmain Pre-Fall 2016 long sleeved tassel embellished mini dress. After a period of not loving what Balmain has presented I have finally fallen in love with a whole collection and I am hoping that we will see a lot of this collection on the red carpet. I believe that Diane would be one of the few non-models that I can picture working this collection on the red carpet. Keeping the styling simple is exactly what this look will need. A pair of simple black sandals, a black tube clutch, sleek updo, and diamond cluster earrings would ensure that this look is perfection on the red carpet.
It has been a hot muinite since we have seen Elizabeth Banks wear a Versace gown on the red carpet and I am starting to miss those days. I would love to see Elizabeth walk the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party wearing this sexy light blue Atelier Versace Fall 2015 Couture goddess gown. Elizabeth has been giving us a lot of very chic lady like looks recently and I am dying for something sexy and this gown would give me the sex appeal that I have been looking for. The sexy that this gown brings is a chic subtle kind which would come off as oozing sexy glamour. Old Hollywood waves strewn over one shoulder, a red lip, silver sandals, diamond drop earrings, and a diamond bracelet would just finish this look off for a perfect red carpet moment.

#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

You Better Werk!: Penelope Cruz in Balmain at the "Zoolander No. 2" NYC Premiere

Penelope Cruz has been consistently knocking it out of the red carpet ball park as she has made the rounds promoting Zoolander No. 2 and the premiere in New York City was no different. Penelope looked absolutely amazing wearing a custom black and gold Balmain beaded gown, after wearing a pair of Valentino short overalls for the kickoff runway show at the beginning of the red carpet, and she just blew me away. Recently we have seen Penelope wearing a lot of 90s inspired looks on the red carpet but wowing and making them look very now and I applaud her for being able to do that. I will be sad that this promo tour is coming to an end but I am glad that Penelope Cruz is back and more fabulous than ever.

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 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Wish List Part 1

Selena Gomez is now the big female name performing at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which is taped in New York City on Tuesday and will air on CBS on December 8, since Rihanna has dropped out. I am only slightly excited to see what Selena will bring to the runway and the after party red carpet. I picked this long sleeve Zuhair Murad Fall 2015 Couture midnight blue star embellished mini dress which features crystal embellishment, thin silver belt, risque plunging neckline, and gathering detail on the left hip. This dress is sexy and sweet which is perfect to either perform her new music in or for the red carpet after party. This dress paired with silver pumps sexy waves and a red lip will ensure that this is a perfect look for any of the VS events.
Adriana Lima knows how to work sexy, which is why I am sure that she is a Victoria's Secret Angel. All the ladies bring out their sexy best for the party after they tape the runway show and I am hoping that they bring the high fashion sexy. For Adriana I picked this one sleeved Versus Versace Spring 2016 RTW mini dress by Anthony Vaccarello which features a plunging neck, side cutouts, and leopard chiffon train. This is a sexy moment and I am sure that some model will pick this dress up for this red carpet and Adriana has my vote for who it should go to, even though I have a slight feeling she may wear custom Marc Jacobs. Finish this look off with a pair of Christian Louboutin sandals, a red lip, and sexy wavy hair and this will be a perfect look for this red carpet on Adriana.
I have been very bored of what Alessandra Ambrosio has been wearing on the red carpet lately and I am hoping that she switches things up for this red carpet, which I don't think is very likely. I figure Ale will wear Balmain on the red carpet but I am hoping that it won't be a sparkling fitted mini dress since they have been over done recently. I picked this tuxedo inspired Balmain Spring 2016 Couture fitted jumpsuit with an open bodice and mesh stomach cutout. This is not the standard look for a Victoria's Secret model so I am not sure that this will be what Alessandra will wear on the red carpet but a guy can hope. Finish the jumpsuit with a black clutch, a pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps, slicked back straight locks, and a pair of red lips.
Behati Prinsloo has been really showing her red carpet chops this year as she stood next to her hubby Adam Levine during awards season at the beginning of the year and continued to make the rounds looking fabulous at different parts of the year since. I am really excited to see what she is going to bring to the red carpet Tuesday at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after party. I think that this J. Mendel Spring 2016 RTW ensemble which features a black silk bandeau and a silk organza multi-cascade asymmetric skirt. This look is sexy and elegant which is exactly what I want to see the VS models rocking on the red (it's actually hot pink) carpet for the after party. A pair of black sandals, a black clutch, hair worn up, and a red lip will keep this look working sexy and demure.

2015 Hollywood Film Awards Wish List Part 2

Amber Heard is among the presenters that will be in attendance at the 2015 Hollywood Film Awards tomorrow night and I have to say that I am quite interested to see what she will wear. After a year or so of looks that I really loathed I am starting to lover Amber's red carpet choices again and tomorrow is the early kick off to the 2016 Awards Season so I am interested in seeing what she is going to wear to kick it all off. I picked this black Blumarine Spring 2016 RTW rose embellished cocktail dress that features a square neck with a bustier-style bodice, jeweled rose details that wrap around the shoulders, and a midi length a-line skirt with a draped panel at one side because I think that Amber loves a vintage inspired moment and this is such a classic dress that there is no way that she can go wrong. It is not really her night and I think that this dress is the perfect balance for a presenter. A pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals and a black Edie Parker clutch are the perfect accessories for this dress. Completed with old Hollywood waves and a red lip and Amber will be sexy as ever for this red carpet appearance.
I am not 100% certain that Jada Pinkett Smith will be on the Hollywood Film Awards red carpet tomorrow night, but since her hubby Will Smith is receiving the Hollywood Actor Award I figure she will. Jada plays the part of the perfect plus one very wall and I am quite interested to see what she will wear to support Will. Jada was front row at the Balmain Spring 2016 RTW presentation and I would love to see Jada wearing this menswear inspired sexy jumpsuit. I love the cutout sweetheart neckline and the sheer lattice panel on this jumpsuit I think it says "I am a boss woman and I am a force to be reckoned with" which is exactly what Jada is. A pair of sexy black strappy sandals, a gold clutch, the runway belt, and a red lip are all that Jada will need to ensure that she is going to kill this red carpet and support her husband in top form.
Channing Tatum is part of the Hollywood Ensemble Award winning cast of Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight and wife Jena Dewan Tatum is almost always right by his side when he steps out on the red carpet and I am sure that she will be there tomorrow night at the Hollywood Film Awards. I picked this black Zuhair Murad long sleeve gown which features sheer detailing on the sequin zebra-like bodice and thigh high slit. This is a chic glamorous and sexy moment which is perfect for Jena as Channing's plus one to this moment. What better way to show support for your husband receiving a Hollywood Film Award than to show up looking like a bombshell. Finish the look with a chic updo, a red lip, a black clutch, and a pair of black strappy sandals to really make this a bombshell red carpet ensemble.
Reese Witherspoon will be attending the Hollywood Film Awards tomorrow night as a presenter and I am excited to see what she will wear for her first big red carpet after this past awards season. I decided to go with a classic look with a twist for this red carpet. I love this 1950's inspired Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2016 RTW cocktail dress with an abstract painterly eggplant brushstroke print which features a full skirt with triple inverted pleats at front and back and decorative buttons at shoulder straps and center back. I think that this dress is a beautiful moment and I am sure that in some capacity we will see it on a red carpet and I think that Reese would look absolutely lovely in this gown. A pair of black strappy sandals, a silver clutch, and 50's inspired beauty would ensure that this is a perfect look for the Hollywood Film Awards red carpet.
"Brooklyn" star Saoirse Ronan is going to be honored tomorrow night at the Hollywood Film Awards with the New Hollywood Awards and I honestly can not wait to see what the edgy Irish-American actress is going to rock on the red carpet. Saoirse has a liking for edgy styles when she dresses for the red carpet with favorite brands like Lanvin, Chanel, and Proenza Schouler it is no mystery why she is one to watch when it comes to red carpet dressing. I would love to see her embrace bold color with this noir/jade J. Mendel Spring 2016 RTW blurred floral embroidered organza gown. I love the color and the draping in this gown and I know it is going to be a major moment on the red carpet when it happens and I believe that on Saoirse that this would jet to the top of best dressed lists everywhere. 


Who are you most looking forward to seeing on the Hollywood Film Awards red carpet?

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini for "X-Factor" UK Live Show Wish List

The "X-Factor" in the UK is known for its discovery of talent (think Leona Lewis, One Direction, & Cher Lloyd) and for the fashion of the judges. Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is on the judging panel, and this year it seems like we will be seeing weekly fashion battles (a prevalent thing when Cheryl and former judge Dani Minogue was on the panel) between her and Rita Ora. I have to say that I am either love it or loathe it when it comes to Cheryl's style and I am hoping that she gives me love it look after love it look the whole season. I have picked my choices for her based on all of the brands that she has worn in the past and who are her favorites are. I am hoping that when the show goes live this weekend that Cheryl starts off strong and keeps it rocking all season long. Balmain, Zuhair Murad, Michael Costello, Victoria Beckham, Georges Chakra, & Stephane Rolland are all brands that Cheryl loves and I think that each look that I have chosen  is well suited to making big statements on the "X-Factor" stage this season.

Of all of these looks which would you most like to see Cheryl wear on "X-Factor?"

2015 Grammy Awards: Performers Wish List

Gwen Stefani is set to perform at the Grammy Awards tomorrow night with Maroon 5. Their song "My Heart is Open" is a soft a brokenhearted love ballad. I figure that Maroon 5 will perform another of their hit songs, then Gwen will join in to perform "My Heart is Open," then we will get our first taste of Gwen's album that is set to be released later this year. To do so I would love to see Gwen wear this amazing silver beaded fringe long sleeve Balmain Pre-Fall 2015 trapeze cocktail dress. This is a perfect look for a performer. It has movement, sparkle and impact. A pair of black pumps and a rep lip are just the finishing touches that are needed to complete this perfect Grammy Awards performance ensemble for Gwen.
I always love to see Jessie J perform. She is a spitfire performer, a true diva. Tomorrow night at the Grammy Awards, Jessie J will be performing with the iconic Tom Jones for a once in a lifetime collaboration. This is going to be an amazing performance, I can just feel it. Jessie rocks a catsuit like no other and I think that this silver beaded striped Christian Dior Spring 2015 Couture catsuit is absolutely perfect for a Grammy Awards performance. Its sexy yet still sophisticated which is exactly what Jessie is all about. A pair of silver pumps would just round out this look for the Grammy stage.
Lady Gaga gave us our first taste of the Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture collection at the MusicCares Person of the Year Gala. I have a feeling that is not going to be the last gown from the collection that we see Gaga wear this weekend. Her work with Tony Bennett has definitely affected how Gaga dresses and I am loving this way turned down version of herself that she is putting out. Since the music on their Grammy nominated album "Cheek to Cheek" is all classic jazz style I would love to see Gaga wear this silver crystal embellished Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture gown with sheer paneling to perform with Tony during the Grammy telecast on Sunday night. I think that the sleek elegant yet still overt sexiness of this gown is perfect for Gaga and the Grammy Awards. A pair of silver pumps and something to make it Gaga would just finish this performance look perfectly.
Rihanna will perform her new single "FourFiveSeconds" on the Grammy Awards telecast on Sunday night with Kanye West and Paul McCartney. I am really excited to see this performance as I am totally obsessed with this song. In the video, Rihanna goes for normcore realness in a denim jacket, jeans, and work boots. I am going for the same feel with this Altuzzara Pre-Fall 2015 utilitarian chic jumpsuit. I would keep this look Grammy ready with having Rihanna with a full head of long curly locks, a red lip, and a pair of spiked Christian Louboutin pumps. This keeps the normcore chic that was projected with the video but elevates it for probably the most important performance of the song that RiRi will give.

2014 Met Ball: Naomi Watts, Pink, Rihanna, & Selena Gomez Wish List

Naomi Watts worked very simple silhouettes during awards season this year. I am hoping that if she takes to the red carpet at the 2014 Met Ball that she brings a look that leaves shock and awe. That is why I have picked this white Schiaparelli Spring 2014 RTW gown with sculpted voluminous sleeved cropped jacket. While Naomi might not be the tallest woman in the world, at 5'5", she can still rock the hell out of some dramatic looks. I would have her hair swept up into 1930's waves, add a red lip, a gold clutch, and a pair of gold pumps to give this look the simple yet statement making accessories that it needs to be a best dressed ensemble.
After going glam at the Grammy's and the Academy Awards I am hoping that if Pink keeps turning up on big red carpets that she will give us a shocking moment. I think that this white and red Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2014 RTW mermaid gown with a fish net skirt and men's shirt like bodice would make a statement that can only be seen on the red carpets of the Met or the Grammy's. Pink knows how to work glamour and punk which is exactly what meshes with this Gaultier creation. I would style her hair in her normal faux hawk style, a smoky eye, neutral lip and pair this look with just a pair of red Christian Louboutin pumps to give her the tools to work this red carpet to death.
As the face of the Balmain Spring 2014 RTW advertising campaign I am expecting Rihanna to take to the red carpet in a Balmain design. I am almost hoping for a custom creation but if I had to choose a runway look it would have to be Balmain Fall 2014 RTW look number 7. With its  detailed line by line leather top, thick belt, and feathered mini skirt, I think that this look is something that Rihanna would wear with her new look that she is rocking as of late. Some sky high black and gold stiletto sandals and a bold lip color will make sure that Rihanna ends up on the best dressed list.
Selena Gomez has been working the sexy lately on the red carpet and I have been loving it. I love this amazing aqua blue Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2014 Couture draped gown. I could see Selena going for this dramatic sexy gown that features an extremely long train that would drape so elegantly over the steps up into the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. A simple silver minaudiere, a pair of silver sandals, a pair of statement diamond drop earrings, and a bold diamond cuff would make sure that Selena is sexy and sultry working the major red carpet.

2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards: Lupita Nyong'o & Rooney Mara Wish List

Lupita Nyong'o is the woman I am most looking forward to seeing take to the red carpet, aside from Queen Cate of course, at the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards. The stunning Kenyan actress has been the one to watch since she arrived on the scene at the '12 Years a Slave' premiere at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival in a custom Prada gown. Since then she has wowed in custom frocks and couture ensembles for almost all of her appearances and I am not complaining. For the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards, were Lupita is nominated for the Breakthrough Award, I would love to see her wear this amazing ruby red Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture strapless cocktail dress. This dress is elegant and I am hoping to see her wow me at this awards show. I would complete the look with the matching runway pumps, a red Edie Parker clutch, and a bold red lip to ensure that I am completely wowed.
Rooney Mara is known for her black and white looks on the red carpet and I am hoping to see her step out of that box as she represents her film 'Ain't Them Bodies Saints' which is nominated for Best Picture at the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards. This floral embroidered Balmain Spring 2014 RTW cocktail dress with a flouncey hem. I just see this dress as something that would look so elegant on Rooney and out of the box with it's pastel color scheme. A pair of silver pumps and her hair slicked back would complete this perfect look for Rooney for me.
