"Spectre" London Premiere Wish List

I am super excited to see the latest installment of the James Bond franchise "Spectre" premiere in London on Monday. This has to be one of the premieres that is going to have the best fashion of all of the year. So many of the stars of this film are known for their A+ red carpet style and I am betting that this will be the best dressed premiere of the year. French actress Lea Seydoux is expected to attend the premiere. I LOVE Lea's style and I am almost 100% certain that she will wear either a custom Prada or Miu Miu gown for this red carpet. Since I can't exactly show you a custom gown I went through all of the brands that Lea loves to wear on the red carpet and decided that I would love to see her wear this Elie Saab Spring 2016 RTW black embellished gown with sheer panel on the skirt. I think that this is a classy way for Lea to take on the sheer trend. My wish for her and this gown for a major premiere like London is that she would have a dramatic train added to follow her. A pair of black Christian Louboutin lace "Magicadiva" pointed toe ankle strap pumps, a black Prada clutch, and Chopard cluster diamond earrings are the accessories that I would pair with a vintage inspired updo and a red lip to ensure that Lea delivers the femme fatale style that we are all expecting to see her wear for the "Spectre" premieres.

Naomie Harris got her big break in the last incarnation of the James Bond franchise "Skyfall" and her character is one of the few that is continuing on to be in "Spectre." I have loved watching Naomie become the fashion star that she is over the past 3 years and I can not wait to see what she is going to bring to the red carpet for the "Spectre" premiere in London. I picked this Giambattista Valli Fall 2015 Couture marigold yellow caped draped gown with a uber sexy split up to there for her to wear on the red carpet. I really hope that Naomie gets her hand on this gown, but might be a little bit of a stretch since Naomie has never worn of of Giambattista Valli's couture pieced on the red carpet before (but she has worn his RTW.) I think that this gown with its dramatic train is perfect for the "Spectre" premiere, the added sparkle via the faux embellished ribbon on the neck is a glamorous addition. I would add a pair of gold sandals, fresh faced makeup, an updo, cluster earrings, and a gold clutch to ensure that Naomie can make a best dressed list.

Model Monica Bellucci is making her waves in the acting world and "Spectre" is her latest film. I gotta say I don't have very high hopes for what she is going to wear for this premiere on Monday. Monica basically exclusively wears Dolce & Gabbana for her red carpet appearances, and with very little variation. This black Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2015 RTW simple black 3/4 length sleeve gown with a square neckline is something that Monica would for sure wear on the red carpet. I think that this gown is just blah. It is nothing that we haven't seen on a red carpet time and time again. I am going to hold out a slight hope (and I mean very slight) that Monica will give me something slightly more interesting to the red carpet. I don't picture Monica keeping the teal ribbon belt but I think that it would enhance the look. Paired with a black Dolce & Gabbana clutch, a pair of black Dolce & Gabbana pumps, a red lip, and flowing tresses will give a beautiful look for Monica to wear for the London premiere of "Spectre."

Rachel Weisz is not part of the cast, BUT she is married to Daniel Craig (AKA James Bond), so I am expecting that we will see her playing the plus one role at this premiere. Rachel has been making the film festival rounds lately promoting her latest films "The Lobster" and "Youth," and doing so in fine form wearing some of my favorite looks of hers ever. For this premiere I am predicting that Rachel will wear something that is elegant but not a statement (though for the "Skyfall" premiere she did wear Chanel Couture.) I think that this Vionnet Resort 2016 black and white asymmetrical gown is exactly what Rachel should wear for this premiere. It is sophisticated and statement making but also the perfect look for her to wear as the wife of the star of the movie. Keeping the belt, I would also add a black clutch, a pair of black sandals, a chic updo, and a red lip would endure that Rachel is perfectly dressed for this premiere. 

This premiere is a royal premiere and I have read that Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge is expected to make an appearance with her husband Prince William. I have only recently been more intrigued by Catherine's style and I am hoping that she will wow me on the red carpet. I am not expecting the Princess to stop and pose for the cameras but I am hoping that she will give us something that photographs herself while she is walking in. This pastel tangerine Emilia Wickstead Spring 2016 RTW "Caroline" ball gown which features a scalloped neckline, an open back with camisole style straps, and a gathered, full skirt. This gown, designed by a British brand, is regal and elegant and I could totally picture the Duchess wearing this for some sort of official function, why not a royal movie premiere? Finish with a gold clutch, gold pumps, a pink lip, and hair worn up would ensure that Catherine has a perfect red carpet moment at this premiere.

2012 End of the Year Style Awards: Best Dressed Foreigner and Best Dressed Head of State

Best Dressed Foreigner and Best Dressed Head of State go to Catherine the Duchess of Cambridge. The stunning princess looked amazing this year at all of her public duties. One of my favorites was when she actually took a rare step from wearing British brands ans wore an amazing purple Rorschach print Prabal Gurung dress will on her Asian Jubuliee tour. Her lavender Erdem dress at the Trooping the Color was also amazing. And then of course we have two looks from Catherine's go to designer Alexander McQueen I love both the white Resort 2012 coat as well as the nude lace dress. The only fault I find in most of her look are her lack of variety when it comes to shoe choice.

She also stunned in plenty of evening gowns this year my two favorite were her cream Roland Mouret gown and her teal Jenny Packham. She knows how to mix her royal must haves, modern styles, and fashion forward all at the same time. She does this all while promoting the brands that come out of the country that she represents, which is a huge task.

Kate Middleton for the Olympic Opening Ceremony

Kate Middleton is someone who all eyes will be on at the opening ceremony, not because she is an athlete but because she is the worlds foremost fashion plate. I believe that Kate will be in attendance because of reports that she was told that she was not allowed to get pregnant until the fall due to the amount of public appearances that she was going to have to make this summer with the Queen Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics. So I am excited to see what the palace will be dressing the young princess in for these appearances. I would love to see her ear this black, red, and pink Alexander McQueen Fall 2012 RTW dress with a pleated hem line. Kate would look amazing wearing this even though I know that she will pair it with a simple black LK Bennett clutch and black LK Bennett closed toe pumps.

Best Dressed of the Week Ending 2/10/2012

This look makes me jump out of my seat. Not only is Mena wearing a bold dress (the print and cut) but she is actually adding color to the look!!!! These red pumps are absolutely phenomenal and adds just the right amount of sass and playfulness to this bold look. The slightly longer train gives the look some uniqueness, and I absolutely love it. It's also pretty obvious that Mena has the right sass and confidence to pull off this look, and I think that truly sells the outfit. I have no complaints nor wishes for this look!

Dynamite Dita! This lady has always been one fashions most iconic stars, and this dress is a prime example of why shes is. First off, the color on her is absolutely drop dead stunning; I am even ignoring the fact that she's been wearing it quite a bit, cause it is so perfect on her. Next, the gorgeous rouching not only hugs her body perfectly, but it also is on an alternating angle that makes my eye dance and keeps the outfit interesting. I also adore the slightly asymmetrical scoop neckline; again, it's interesting and flatters her quite well. My only suggestion would be to add a gold accessory such as some dangly earrings or a clutch.

Now, Megan is a 'Fox'-y lady even without the divine designs of Elie Saab, but this dress puts her over the top! The cut and shape of this dress gives Megan the hourglass figure that almost every woman would kill for. The crystals on the dress add a simple elegance, yet slightly bold bling at the same time. The high waist band is also a nice touch in elongating her figure, making her look taller.

First off, I want to commend Elle for stepping out of the typical red carpet box and actually wearing pants (without holes or poor bleaching effects on them). Although this is a simple look, simplicity can go a far way, and this look is a prime example. The color shows off Elle's gorgeous skin and hair, and the shape of the jacket hugs her small waist in all the right places. Not to mention how the v-neck blouse and her wide pants work together to elongate her even more. I'll admit, I do wish that she would add a spark of color, possibly bold earrings or a necklace.

When I saw Stacy in this ASOS dress, I think my heart skipped a beat. I want to talk about this interesting top, first. The patch of skin that she has showing is a pretty unusual place to show, but that what really makes this outfit unique and sexy, but not distasteful. This dress fully defines sexy- elegant, which I personally love! The formfitting skirt shows off her curves and extends past her knee at just the right length to make it more on the elegant side. Would've loved to see a metallic in the accessories, but hey, we can't have it all. Other than that, no complaints!

Now, we all know Whitney is gorgeous, but this Julien MacDonald dress looks stellar on her. Even though the color of the dress is so similar to her hair, the dress somehow makes her hair color pop. I also love the unique off the shoulder draping and the uneven hemline, along with the flowy-ness of the dress. Although, Whitney should really trade in her black clutch for a metallic one. But overall, this is a stunning outfit!

I have always been a huge fan of Jessica and this sexy, but still elegant, ensemble reaffirms why I adore her so much! Although most of you will probably think, "This is a boring color palette", for her I think it's perfect. Her skin color is absolutely gorgeous and why not show it off? The asymmetrical blouse elongates her, making her even taller. And the skirt! The skirt hugs her in all the right places without being too tight, and the embellishment on it elongates her legs as well. My only complaint would be the shoes; I think she should add a spark of color to really make this outfit dynamite. I would suggest a pair of red evening sandals by Michael Kors.

Well, it shouldn't be a surprise that J-Lo ended up on this list. This pale pink/ nude dress is such a sweet sexy that really shows off her already fabulous body. This plunging neckline shows just enough cleavage without it being an eyeful. This dress hugs her shape perfectly, and I love that she added some color to the outfit with her shoes!

Since I am constantly harassed for snubbing my nose at more modern pieces, versus elegant and classic looks, I have decided to nominate one of my new favorite icons. Princess Kate looks embodies the bridging of modern and classic styles perfectly. She took a typical look, a jacket and pencil skirt and totally morphed it into edgy and fashion forward without giving the Queen a heart attack. The color is not the normal color that you would associate a jacket and skirt ensemble, which is great, but I also love that she added a belt here! I love the quirky hat as well, it adds a elegant British touch. Last, but not least, Kate, the shoes are phenomenal!

Funny how the little girl from Win- Dixie can transform into a stunning woman so quickly. First off, the form-fitting shape suits Dakota perfectly, showing off her every curve in a flattering manner. Also, the off the shoulder shrug was a nice touch and adds some edge to the look. But I can not talk about how perfect the color combo is. Most people don't understand how red and blue go together, but these contrasting colors balance each other out and adds some edge to the look; it also adds some color to her pale skin. Only complaint is that instead of a nude colored shoe, she should add a bronze strappy heel.

Catherine Middleton Wish List

I just have a few wishes for the woman, who has won the hearts of millions, and has lived the ultimate fairy tale by marrying a prince thus making herself a princess.

1) This wish is for more public appearances and events. This cranberry Antonio Berardi Spring 2012 RTW dress with 3/4 length sleeves. She will most likely pair this with a pair of LK Bennett nude pumps and a Phillip Tracy fascenator.

2) I love when the Duchess of Cambridge wears Erdem; it is her real mix of princess style and high fashion. This blue, white, and yellow full skirted dress from Erdem's Spring 2012 RTW collection would be perfect for a garden party paired with a white jacket, yellow pumps, and a wide brimmed hat.

3) Catherine is the person that really made Issa famous by wearing a blue dress by the designer to announce her engagement to Prince William, and I hope to see her in the brand again. I think that this pink jersey draped gown would look stunning on the Princess. She should pair it with a pink clutch, silver shoes, and some amazing diamonds that everyone knows she now has access to.

4) And last, but not least, we have this stunning gown by Catherine's go to red carpet designer, Jenny Packham, from her Spring 2012 collection. I love this yellow and white ball gown and think it is perfect for the princess. A yellow clutch, gold shoes, and a tiara would complete this princess look.
