2015 End of the Year Style Awards: Worst Dressed of 2015

It has come to the time of the year where I really don't enjoy looking back. For the most part 2015 was an amazing year on the red carpet but there were quite a few looks that made me cringe when I saw them. The most painful look I saw on the red carpet this year was when Jane Fonda stepped out on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival wearing a custom Schiaparelli Couture gown for the premiere of her film "Youth." This looked like a cheap Victorian vampire costume and aged Jane many years right away. I couldn't grasp why she looked so terrible since days before Jane was sizzling in an electric blue Atelier Versace gown. The rest of Jane's promotional tour for "Youth" wasn't my favorite but she definitely has some high hope to look up to during awards season.

What would a worst dressed list be without an appearance of Kristen Stewart. I was actually surprised that she showed up in this froufrou satin and lace Chanel Fall 2015 Couture gown on the Venice Film Festival red carpet of her film "Equals." There were actually quite a few looks from that Chanel collection that I would have liked to see KStew wearing. She was further let down by the terribly aging hair and makeup that she paired with her dress.

Another staple of the Worst Dressed list has to be Kim Kardashian-West. I dislike this woman immensely so I might be a little biased but when I first saw this Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2015 Couture gown on the runway I was so excited to see who would snatch it up as it was a glam Studio 54 moment waiting to happen on the likes of Lady Gaga or Rihanna but when Kim got her hands on it she just looked like she was wearing an overly embellished bathrobe. I should sing praised that she wasn't making the dress bulge from the seams like most of her looks that make her look like a stuffed sausage but this really was just a terrible moment.

Probably the most controversial tweet I posted this year was in regards to this canary yellow Atelier Versace Fall 2015 Couture gown that Heidi Klum wore to the 2015 Emmy Awards. I tweeted this look out and said that I wished that Heidi would choose more age appropriate looks. The hate I got back calling me and ageist and a sexist was strong. I will now defend myself. When I saw this look on the runway I was in love; I was picturing a young pop star like Selena Gomez or Taylor Swift wearing this for a music awards show. So color me shocked when Heidi Klum showed up on the Emmy Awards red carpet in it. I found this look to be aging and severely unflattering. That is why she is towards the top of my Worst Dressed of 2015 list.

Britney Spears looked back into her closet from her early years for the style that she wore to the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. I don't even know where to start without how bad this look is. First off let's start with the fit, she looks like a 2lb sausage stuffed into a 1lb shell. Her breasts look like they are screaming to be supported correctly and not to be crushed. Then there is the dated style, if this had been on any of the current pop stars on a stage I don't think I would be having a problem with it but its too short and it looks like a Vegas showgirl costume. The shoes look like cheap prom shoes and the hair and makeup are basic and greasy and aging. All around this is a terrible look.

Following that is Selena Gomez who showed up at a private dinner party at Annabel's in London wearing a Monse Spring 2016 RTW gown that reminded me of very luxe nightgown. I think that this gown could have been great on someone like Rihanna or Ciara or Lady Gaga. These women all have something that Selena doesn't a sexy confidence and sense of diva attitude that is brought to the red carpet. I think that this gown lost all of the luster that it had on the runway on the back of Selena who should go back to Versace as she and Donatella made amazing magic when they were working together.

Solange Knowles was the in-house DJ at the Academy Awards this year. When I heard that she was going to be walking the red carpet I got very excited as Solange usually wears the most amazing clothes, so I was really disappointed when she showed up wearing this tangerine Christian Siriano Fall 2015 RTW gown top and palazzo pants. This look, much like Selena's gown, reminds me of luxurious pajamas. This look was further let down by having the worst hairstyle. To even remotely taking this look to a decent place Solange's hair needed to be sleek in a tight bun.

Moving on to the final group of ladies on the Worst dressed of the Year list. Salma Hayek stepped out on the red carpet at the London Evening Standard Theater Awards putting her breasts on display in an Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2013 gown. Her twins were on full display framed with a dust ruffle. There are only a few women who I could picture pulling this type of look off and they are all very tall women, which Salma is not.

Music Awards shows are usually the source of really bad looks but I can't believe that I have one from all tree of the major awards. I was uber excited to know that Gwen Stefani was going to be walking the red carpet at the American Music Awards but my heart sunk when I saw her in this Yousef Al-Jasmi Spring 2016 Couture black mesh gown. The gown itself isn't terrible but Gwen definitely can do so much better. The look was further let down with the half up/half down hairstyle, heavy cat eye, and nude lip. Gwen has so much potential and this just did nothing to showcase that.

Last but not lease we have Glinda the Good Witch wearing custom Prada on the red carpet at the Met Ball, Kerry Washington. It really pains me to put Kerry on the Worst Dressed list as she is one of my favorite women to see on the red carpet but this pink cupcake just made the 5 foot 4 inch actress look even more petite than the actually is. The emerald green shoes and clutch just added to the feeling that this is a reject costume from The Wizard of OZ.

2015 has been a great year on the red carpet but these are definitely the dark side of what was there, make sure you check back on Friday to see the Best Dressed of the Year list.

I am currently looking for feedback from my readers if you wouldn't mind taking a quick six question survey I would be greatly appreciative of that, you can take it by clicking here.

2012 Peoples Choice Awards: Anne, Beyonce, Blake, and Britney

Welcome to the first post of my wishes for the 2012 Awards Season. The first televised award show of the season is the semi-formal dress code People's Choice Awards. Now know that most of the people that are going to be wished for will probably not show up, especially the A-List stars who will be resting up for the Critics' Choice, AFI, and Golden Globe awards that all are within days, if not hours, from each other. The People's Choice wish lists will take seven days to come completely posted. I recommend checking the site everyday at 12pm EST because this month is jam packed with wishes, and there is not a free day all month. Hope you enjoy the coverage that I bring to you of all the events. I plan to post best dressed lists throughout the month and then post award season one will be posted every Saturday trough out the year.

First up is Anne Hathaway, the stunning actress is nominated for Best Movie Actress, as she is a huge A-List star, she may or may not attend. Anne is styled by Hollywood style maven, Rachel Zoe, who brought her to great triumph with 8 ensembles last Oscar Night alone. For the People's Choice Awards, I am requesting that Anne wear this Bottega Veneta Spring 2012 RTW dress. I love this dress because it is a mash up of some of my favorite things: draping, embellishment, and color-blocking (although it is using neutral colors). I think that Anne has the grace but also the sass to pull off this look. A matching gold clutch and strappy gold sandals would be the perfect conclusion to this elegant but edgy look.

The stunning Beyonce, may not attend for two reasons a) she is an A-List star and b) the will be very pregnant and might not be able to fly from NYC (where she lives with hubby Jay-Z) to LA where the ceremony is held. Either way I cannot pass up the chance to create a look for the simply beautiful mommy-to-be. I think that this Valentino Spring 2011 RTW dress would look amazing and highlight the baby bump, a la the orange Lanvin gown she wore to announce her pregnancy to the world last year at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. She may have to make necessary alterations to the dress by lengthening it just a bit, so that she and the bump can remain covered up. Now I know Beyonce is going to be like supermodel Heidi Klum and wear stiletto heels up until the day she is wheeled into the delivery room. For this look I would recommend that Beyonce wear some red with black detail Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps and lots (but not too much) Lorraine Schwartz diamond jewelry; I think that stunning earrings and bracelets would be perfect for this ensemble.

Well towards the end of last year I was not impressed with anything that Blake wore, despite her wearing some of my favorite designers such as Elie Saab, Marchesa, and Versace. So I have decided to make my wish for her in the designer that she has consistently hit high marks with, Chanel. The moment I saw this butter cream color strapless cocktail dress on the runway at the Chanel show I have always envisioned Blake in it. Why, you may ask? Well, that is because it is classy and elegant, but also extremely sexy and Blake's diva-tude will make this all the sexier. To finish this look Blake needs to go into the large Christian Louboutin shoe closet she has and pull out a pair of gold strappy sandals. A gold and diamond chandelier earring and a gold and diamond cuff would make this look perfect

Britney Spears is in need of a style intervention, and I'll admit, this wish ain't helping the cause. But I have a better chance of choosing a garment that would fit her style than put up something that she wouldn't wear in a million years. Lately most of Brits looks have been short, black, and tight so that is what I have given her, BUT this is an elegant take on that. The Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2012 RTW dress would look amazing on the blonde pop star. She should pair this dress with a pair of black matte leather peep-toe Christian Louboutin pumps and a silver bracelet.

2011: MTV Europe Music Awards Red Carpet Wish List

Beyonce is one of the many people nominated at the 2011 EMA's, now with her being preggers, I am not sure if she will fly to Belfast, Ireland for the awards show. Now with that said I have still picked a gown for Mrs. Knowles to wear. B was one of the celebrities who was front row at the Vera Wang Spring 2012 RTW show and this floral gown from said collection is perfect as it will drape nicely over the baby bump. I would recommend that she wear her hair down with lots of curls and hot pink sandals.

Britney Spears is almost a lost cause when it comes to the red carpet, but yet I still hold a sliver of hope and continue to make wishes for her. Here I have chosen a white Herve Leger Spring 2012 RTW cocktail dress. I choose this because whiles it is still mini and figure hugging there is a beautiful fringe and has is not boring like some of her looks can be. I know I will not win with her when it comes to her hair and makeup it will be kohl-rimmed eyes and her long blonde wavy locks, but I would like to request that if Mrs Spears wears this dress she leave her ugly heavy black ankle boots at home and opt for a silver sandal.

Fergie, what can I say about her. She is a hit or a miss on a red carpet, not always someone that I want to see. BUT when she gets it right she really gets it right. This blue Georges Chakra Fall 2011 RTW gown would look absolutely stunning on her, if she left her stupid eye piercing at home and wore some KILLER diamond earrings. I would also recommend a diamond cuff and some peep toe pumps that match the dress. As far as hair and make-up hair pulled back into a tight ponytail and some simple smokey eyes would take this look into a whole other level.

With this wish I would first like to start off my thanking Martine at Georges Hobeika for helping me in aquiring the image of the gown. Now back to topic, JLo is a red carpet diva and she knows how to dress. She has very few looks in recent years that I have not liked. She really embraced the goddess look a few years back and this wish brings her back to that root. I think that the pale blue color would look absolutely amazing against Jenny from the Blocks coloring. I am almost 100% certain that JLo would not disappoint in the accessories department, but I would pair this with a silver Judith Leiber clutch, silver sandals, a pair of amazing earrings, and a statement ring. Loose curls and diva-licous make-up would put the perfect topper on this stunning look.

Katy Perry has gone from wearing extremely elegant Marchesa to super quirky Jeremy Scott on the red carpet at the EMA's. This year I want her to go over the top in this AMAZING pink Zuhair Murad Spring 2012 RTW gown. The minute I saw this gown online I knew I would have to wish for Katy to wear it to something, so here it is. This gown would stand alone as it is and I would only add diamond stud earrings and some pink pumps.

Lady Gaga as not worn Chanel in a long time and I think that the EMA's would be a perfect place for her to regain her love for the brand. I think that this look head to toe, hat and gloves included, would be absolutely perfect for her. Crazy make-up and sky high shoes would be exactly what she would add to make this look totally GAGA!!!!

Rihanna has been looking absolutely stunning lately and I think that she has exactly what it takes to make this Atelier Versace gown her own. I love the sexy cutouts and the water pattern. I could she her wearing gold strappy sandals and a giant gold cuff to finish this look off.

MTV Video Music Awards Wish Lists: Brittney Spears

 I know its a far stretch to ask Britney Spears to look well put to get her but hey I'm gonna try! Here I have a black and blue mini dress from Farah Angsana's Fall 2011 RTW collection. The dress is a mini dress which is a BSpears must have, but it is elegant. I could also see the costumers for Gossip Girl putting this dress on Serena Van Der Woodson (A.K.A. Blake Lively) for the show. I love the crystal details and the pattern they create on the dress and the way the colors fade from black to the blue.

I decided not to pair the look with fancy bling or have Britt carry a clutch just paired the look with a pair of black Giuseppe Zanotti strappy sandals with blue crystals to compliment the dress.
