Runway Report: Bouchra Jarrar Spring 2015 Couture

Bouchra Jarrar always shows an intimate collection during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week and Spring 2015 was no different. Showing only 25 looks, Bouchara seemed to step away slightly from her edgy looks in favor of some very feminine and elegant soft styles. In the midst of awards season I always remember how underrated Bouchara Jarrar is. We have only seen the brand on the back of a celebrity a total of three times, once on Jennifer Aniston and twice on Marion Cotillard. I would love to see young Hollywood embrace Bouchara, as the mix of edgy and feminine is exactly what most of young Hollywood adores so much.
I would love to see the likes of Emma Stone, Lily Collins, Jennifer Lawrence, Emilia Clarke, Marion Cotillard, Cate Blanchett, Emma Watson, or Kate Hudson. These are the women who can do cool red carpet dressing like no other and that is exactly what the Bouchra Jarrar lady is, cool. The soft gowns, the edgy leather, the lady like houndstooth infused with sexy zippers, and crisp menswear inspired white shirts all just worked so well together. Like I have said for years, I really hope that we see an emergence of Bouchra on the red carpet because I love her styles and think there could be many major red carpet moments from these looks.

Best of Haute Couture Wish List

Alicia Keys has been giving me some amazing looks while performing this year putting her on the fast track to winning the Best Stage Style of 2013 Award. Alicia has worn some of Alexandre Vauthier's edgy looks before and usually wow's me when wearing these ensembles. I think that she would look amazing in this sculptural bustier and black pant ensemble for a performance.
Anne Hathaway has stepped onto the edgy train since she cut her hair as I know you are all aware as I keep saying it. Well it is because of this that I now really see her as a Versace girl. I think that this black Atelier Versace Spring 2013 Couture gown would look amazing on Anne and of course I would have the fur epaulettes removed.
Marion Cotillard has been stepping out of her Dior box for the non-major red carpet events lately and has been wearing a lot of looks by Bouchra Jarrar. I think that this black embellished bustier and navy pant ensemble from the Bouchra Jarrar Spring 2012 Couture collection would show us the sexy edgy side of Marion that we don't get to see very often.
Emma Stone has been a Chanel girl for quite some time never becoming a spokesmodel just a huge fan and I think that this white and floral gown would look stunning on the actress for a big red carpet event.
Diane Kruger is one of my absolute favorites on the red carpet always wears some of the most amazing couture looks that most would run the other way from. I think that she would be one of the very few that could rock this yellow Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture gown. I think that this gown with the sheer illusion panel and this gown would take someone with Diane's diva attitude.
I do not think that this white Elie Saab Spring 2013 Couture gown will make it far into the year because of just how stunning it is, if its not at the Oscars it will be at the Cannes Film Festival. Eva Longoria would look absolutely stunning in this gown with or without the runway cape.
Zhang Ziyi has been stepping out on the red carpet a lot and recently had been going for a mix of either really edgy looks or very princessy looks and i think that this lime green Georges Chakra Spring 2013 Couture ball gown is a perfect mesh of these two styles and I think that she is one of the few that could pull this gown off.
Cate Blanchett has been working the red carpet like it owes her money lately and I think that she would look absolutely amazing wearing this silver Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2013 Couture gown. This would be perfect for a movie premiere, film festival, or awards show.
Dita von Teese has been one of my absolute favorites on the red carpet because she brings this look of classic Old Hollywood. She was seated front row at the Ulyana Sergeenko Spring 2013 Couture show last week and this black and white gown would look spectacular on the stunning burlesque beauty.
And rounding out this top 10 is this pale gold and white Zuhair Murad Spring 2013 Couture baroque print ball gown to be worn by Kate Beckinsale. Kate has worn some amazing prints that most would run the other way from on the red carpet and I think that this gown would look amazing on her.

2013 Critics Choice Awards Wish List Part 3

Leslie Mann has been one of the most underrated stars on the red carpet. She wowed me last year at the Academy Awards wearing a stunning navy blue Roberto Cavalli gown with a dramatic train. For this years Critics Choice Awards I would love to see Leslie wear this amazing black sequin Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2013 gown. I of course for the 40 year old actress would have the skirt lined in black so there is some modesty. Finish it off with some emerald and diamond earrings, a black and emerald clutch, and black pumps and she will wow when the camera pans to her during the presentation of  the Best Actress in a Comedy for 'This Is 40.' I am looking forward to whatever she ends up wearing.
Jessica Chastain made the 2012 Vanity Fair Best Dressed List and I know why. She is one of the ladies in Hollywood that exudes glam. Nominated this year for Best Actress for her work in 'Zero Dark Thirty,' Jessica is bound to walk the red carpets looking amazing. After a short year since she wore a gold Oscar de la Renta gown for the BAFTA Awards last year I am hoping to see her wear this gold fringe gown. Jessica seems to have a phobia of carrying a clutch on the red carpet but I think that she needs the runway clutch to help accessorize this look and some Jimmy Choo nude sandals to finish off this amazing best dressed worthy look for this awards show.
Marion Cotillard is a brand ambassador for French couture house Christian Dior and as such she usually wears their designs on the red carpet for almost all her red carpet appearances. Well since I have already posted a wish for Dior spokesmodel Jennifer Lawrence, I have decided to wish for Marion to wear a gown from one of her other favorite designers,Bouchra Jarrar. As soon as I saw this forest green Bouchra Jarrar Fall 2012 Couture walk the runway in Paris last July, I have been wishing to see Marion wear it as she I has been one of the only celebrities to don the designers work. This gown is showstopping and simple all at the same time, which is perfect for the Critics Choice Awards.
Former Christian Dior spokesmodel Mila Kunis is nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy for her work in 'TED.' I think that this aqua blue Atelier Versace Fall 2012 Culture gown is perfect for her and this event. Mila is a rare beauty and has been a delight to see grace the red carpet and I am really looking forward to seeing what she ends up wearing at this years Critics Choice Awards. Pair this stunning couture creation with a simple embellished Judith Leiber clutch, a pair of silver metallic Jimmy Choo sandals, and some glamorous diamond jewelry and Milas look would be complete.
Naomi Watts is one of the celebs that I either love or hate when she steps out on the red carpet. Lately I have been in love with what she has been gracing the red carpet with and I am really looking forward to seeing what she has up her sleeve for the 2013 Critics Choice Awards. I am hoping to see her wear this nice laser cut Roberto Cavalli Spring 2013 EYE gown. This would look sensational on Naomi. This is a perfect simple gown for the smaller award ceremony which Naomi is nominated for her work in the film 'The Impossible.' Finish the look with some simple streamlined flat gold accessories and we have the perfect simple ensemble.

2012 SAG Awards Best Actress in a Motion Picture Wish List

I am forever in love with Glenn Close, she is true to herself on the red carpet as she always dresses true to her form, but I have to tell u Glenn velvet is not your friend as it is way to heavy on your frame. I would love to see you in this cream Georges Hobeika Fall 2011 Couture column gown with sheer floral embellished long-sleeved top. I think that this is the perfect mix of dressing modern and dressing age-appropriately. A gold clutch and gold peep toe pumps would complete this look with Glenn's signature hairstyle.
Now, I find Meryl Streep extremely hard to decide what she is going to wear, as she changes it up all the time. Well, for the SAG's, I am wishing for Meryl to wear this emerald green Badgley Mischka Pre-Fall 2012 RTW gown. I really don't feel like wasting my time on her because she is almost a lost cause; just add a pair of black pumps and maybe a black clutch cuz that is what she would do even though I would really recommend matching with green peep toes and a gold clutch, but hey that's just me.
Michelle Williams can go from dressing overtly mature to dressing way too youthful. I am going for a more youthful look by asking Michelle to wear this baby pink Chanel Spring 2011 couture gown that goes to the ankles with the beaded t-shirt style top. I think that this would be perfect for Michelle; it's youthful and elegant but still fun. She should put no hair accessory with this and add a silver crystal encrusted clutch with silver strappy sandals to make this look sing.
I love Tilda Swinton's androgyny on the red carpet and after my wish (of style not color but love the color on her) came true at the Golden Globes! I am hoping that it happens again, but Tilda has never worn this designer before to my documented knowledge. I would love to see Tilda in this nude colored Bouchra Jarrar Spring 2012 Couture top and full length skirt. I love when she wears these draped ensembles and pair it with a gold clutch and maybe the same gold sandals she wore to the Golden Globes would be perfect. If she wanted to add some bling a gold cuff would be a perfect way to.
After Viola stepped out at the Golden Globes in her burgundy Emilio Pucci gown, with a thigh high split, I knew that I had to step up my wishes for her, so I did. I would kill to see her wear this bold green Elie Saab Spring 2012 RTW gown with a central split. I think that this color would look amazing on Viola and she wore gold strappy sandals, carried a gold crystal encrusted clutch, and placed a pair of amazing gold diamond drop earrings would make her end up on my best dressed list for sure.
