2014 End of the Year Awards: Worst Looks of the Year

With all the amazing looks this year there were still A LOT of dud looks. Be they on the sidewalk, at the airport, awards shows, film festivals, premieres, or front rows some of the biggest names in fashion have landed themselves on my Worst Looks of the Year list? Who do you agree with? Anyone you don't? Anyone you think should be on the list that isn't? Think anyone just had an off day and might be on the Best Dressed of the Year list too?

2014 Cannes Film Festival: L'Oreal Spokesmodels Aishwarya Rai, Araya Hargate, Barbara Palvin, & Bianca Balti Wish List

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IT IS NOW THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN, ITS TIME TO START THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL WISH LISTS! Like every year we will be kicking things off with the lovely ladies whose job it is to walk the red carpets in couture just to add some glamour, that is right I am talking about the stunning L'Oreal Paris spokesmodels. Up first is Aishwarya Rai, the stunning actress from India. Each and every single year Aishwarya returns to the red carpet and rocks the most stunning gowns. Last year she rocked Gucci Premiere, Elie Saab, and two couture saris and looked absolutely amazing. This year I have two wishes for her. First is this amazing black Armani Prive Fall 2013 Couture embellished gown. I am surprised that no one picked up this gown since July of last year and I am praying to see it on the Cannes red carpet and Aishwarya would be the perfect woman to bring it to life on the croisette. The other is this goldenrod Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture draped gown, its so elegant and goddess inspired that Aishwarya would look absolutely stunning.

Last year Araya Hargate made her Cannes Film Festival debut wearing a midnight blue Salvatore Ferragamo fringe gown and a green Zac Posen ballgown and I am excited to see what she will bring to the red carpet next month with L'Oreal. The first look that I can see Araya rocking on the red carpet is this bright green Christian Dior Fall 2014 RTW, while her last green moment (the Zac Posen) might not have been one that most applauded but I do think that this minimalist moment would defiantly be. The other look I picked is more glam this black to burgundy Elie Saab Fall 2014 RTW halter ombre gown with a sexy slit would give the opposition to the other look. I would have this look modified to include a really long train because the steps into the Palais de Festivals needs a dramatic moment.

Two years ago Barbara Palvin, the Hungarian supermodel, rocked Valentino Couture girly beaded gown and last year a sexy Alexandre Vauthier tuxedo, I am hoping that she brings back the glamor for this year because the tux just did not work for me. The first gown I would pick for Barbara is this dove grey Alexis Mabille Fall 2013 Couture long sleeved pearl embellished gown. This is seriously one of my favorite gowns from the Fall 2013 Couture collections and it has yet to be worn which makes me incredibly sad. The other is a sexy, yet sophisticated, Versace Fall 2014 RTW red silk chiffon gown with gold embellishments. This gown would mix the statements of the past while the first would much more go back to the glamour that the Valentino evoked.

Bianca Balti is a stunning model and sometimes knows how to get it right on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. Last year was not one of her finer years with the unflattering pin Chanel Couture gown she paired with clunky black accessories. I am hoping that this year she redeems herself with stunning moments that shut the red carpet down. The first gown I picked is this black, stone, and gold Alberta Ferretti Fall 2014 RTW gown. This gown needs a woman with presence to rock it and Bianca definitely has that. The same can be said about the cram colored Chanel Fall 2013 Couture halter gown that I have also picked. Only a model and like 3 actresses in Hollywood would be able to pull this gown off and what would be a better option than Chanel Couture to add glamor to a red carpet.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: L'Oreal Spokesmodel's Wish List Part 2

 For 16 years now L'Oreal Paris has been sponsoring the Cannes Film Festival adding its glamour to the red carpets over the two week span of the festival. Last year was the first year for Bianca Balti to attend the festival for L'Oreal and she wore a bold Dolce & Gabbana floral and cherub printed gown complete with puffy sleeves and mermaid hi-low hem. I would not expect the Dolce & Gabbana muse not to wear the brand during the festival and I have two ideas for what she should wear for the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals. These two red dresses were presented on the runway of the Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2013 RTW collection. Well she can not show up wearing a cocktail dress on the red carpet at Cannes as a L'Oreal spokesmodel. The red gown to the left should just be made to be a floor length column dress and the one on the right would go to the floor and have a small train. Of course this is what I would do if I were to style her for this event.

 Cheryl Cole walked the red carpet at the premiere of 'Amour' during last years Cannes Film Festival and despite the torrential downpour that ensued looks absolutely amazing wearing a stunning Stephane Rolland creation for the second year in a row. Well why I may have another Stephane Rolland gown for Cheryl to wear for this years event I have a few other wishes as well. First up we have a stunning white Georges Chakra Spring 2013 Couture gown. I think that this is a modern statement that we don't often see at Cannes and Cheryl is the girl that can bring that to the event. In the middle we have a silver to navy ombre Nicholas Oakwell Spring 2013 Couture gown. This is a gown from an up and coming British designer and I think that Cheryl would be a great client for the brand and this gown would be a perfect statement for the Cannes Film Festival. And finally we have this stunning black Stephane Rolland Spring 2013 Couture gown. If Cheryl sticks with the designer that two years running has given her a spot on the best dressed lists of the festival then I think that this is the gown that she should wear. Its simplistic but modern with the sheer panel and would be a sleek statement to be made during the festival.

Claudia Schiffer is a German supermodel, one of the crop of originals from the 80's and 90's. She is another L'Oreal Spokesmodel and a Cannes Film Festival red carpet regular. Every year Claudia takes to the red carpet at the festival for at least one premiere, usually wearing Chanel. The model has been a muse for Karl Lagerfeld as he designs his collections for Chanel. This spring there were several designs that I could see Claudia wear from the Chanel Spring 2013 Couture collection, the first we have is a white lace gown with a caplet trimmed with black satin ribbon. I think out of all the looks I have featured here that this is the gown that Claudia is most likely to wear even though it is not in her black gown comfort zone. The look I would most like to see Claudia wear is this black tulle layered Chanel Spring 2013 Couture a-line gown. This would make a bold glamorous statement that we rarely see from Claudia. The final wish is a big stretch because not only is it not just black but has a floral print. This would look stunning on Claudia and she would be one of the few that I can picture making this look come to life on the red carpet.
