2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish List Part 7

First off I would like to apologize for posting wish lists earlier without any details. I have been really busy with my new job and trying to keep on top of NYFW and the Grammy Awards that I just didn't get to writing the content for those posts and didn't want the lists to fall to the wayside either. Continuing on with my Oscar night wish lists is my wish for Daisy Ridley. Daisy has been the darling of fashion since she burst on to the scene in some of the most coveted brands with the promo tour for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We will first see Daisy on the red carpet at the main ceremony as one of the nights presenters but I am hoping she does a quick change for the after parties. After what I am sure will be a very classic look on the red carpet at the ceremony I would love to see Daisy change directions and wear something a little edgier for the Vanity Fair party. I think that this navy lace Christopher Kane Pre-Fall 2016 gown which features high neck, neon orange tape details and sequin floral embroidery would be an amazing look for Daisy to give on the after party red carpet. It would take a very confident person to make this gown work on the red carpet, and though she might be new to Hollywood Daisy has the confidence to make it work. I would complete the look with a sleek bun, an orange clutch, navy peep toe pumps, diamond cluster earrings and a smokey eye to ensure that this is a major moment on the Vanity Fair red carpet.

Emma Stone is always a favorite for me when it comes to her red carpet style and I am hoping that she will be out on Oscar night despite the fact that she is not presenting or nominated. I can most see Emma going to the Vanity Fair part and since it would just be a night of fun for her I picked this amazing Marc Jacobs Spring 2016 RTW gown for her to wear on the red carpet. I love that this gown reminds me of a shirt dress and the print, which looks like it has been dropped in bleach, makes for a perfect relaxed but still elegant red carpet look. I think that Emma would show up in either a relaxed look like this or in some sort of couture cocktail ensemble. A wavy updo, a red lip, silver clutch, silver peep toe pumps, and some killer diamond drop earrings would finish this relaxed glam look off perfectly for this red carpet for Emma.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw has been another of my absolute favorites to see on the red carpet and she has been recently picking up a bit of steam in Hollywood so I would not be surprised to see her on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, especially since she is one of the stars of the magazines annual Hollywood issue. I would love to see the actress, whom favors very feminine looks, to choose this peachy pink Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture gold embroidered gown. I have long been perplexed as to why this gown has not seen the light of a red carpet despite it being something that I can actually picture quite a few actresses in Hollywood wearing, maybe just looking for the perfect woman. Gugu would float down the red carpet at the Vanity Fair party in this feminine and elegant gown. A chic updo, fresh faced makeup, and a pair of gold pumps would be the only things I would add to make this a perfect red carpet outing for a gown the most definitely deserves it.

There has not been a single Jane Fonda red carpet moment that I have liked since her electric blue Atelier Versace during the Cannes Film Festival last year and I am hoping that come Oscar night at she will finally redeem herself. Instead of going to the usual suspects of Versace, Saint Laurent, or Balmain I went with an unexpected (and probably highly unlikely) choice with this Pamella Roland Pre-Fall 2016 gold sequin long sleeve gown which  featured 3D gold floral embellishment. I think that this is the look that would make me love a Jane Fonda moment again on the red carpet. It embodies everything that I love in her style, it is mature but sexy and statement making. I am really hoping that whatever slump that Jane is in with her red carpet style choices ends before she heads back to Cannes in May.

Finally for today I have my wish for Kate Beckinsale who is always one that knows how to bring drama to the red carpet. I would kill to see Kate rock the red carpet in this white and pink Giambattista Spring 2014 Couture strapless floral printed, knotted waits mermaid gown. Kate is the queen on this silhouette on the red carpet and I think that she would be one of the few who would do this gown justice on the Vanity Fair party red carpet. I have heard that the placement of the print on this gown likens it to a used tampon but I think that is just people that don't appreciate haute couture styling and Kate is one who does. An elegant updo, pink lip, dazzling diamond drop earrings, and silver sandals would complete this look to perfection.

2016 Film Independet Spirit Awards Red Carpet Wish List

The day before the Academy Awards the stars of independent cinema will be out in full force on under a tent on Santa Monica beach for the 2016 Film Independent Spirit Awards. The Independent Spirit Awards is a more relaxed event before the big night at the Oscars so we will be bound to see some amazing cocktail looks on the red carpet. Brie Larson is nominated for Best Female Lead thanks to her Oscar nominated performance in Room. I picked this black Christopher Kane Spring 2016 draped halter neck cocktail dress which is given a little visual interest via the multi-colored zip ties at the waist. I love this glamour meets industrial look that I think Brie would look absolutely amazing wearing it on the red carpet. I would finish the look off with a pair of statement pumps in one of the colors from the zip ties, fresh faced makeup, and chic pushed back waves to ensure that Brie has the perfect look for the Spirit Awards red carpet.

I am very happy that Cate Blanchett will be getting back on the red carpet after skipping the Critics Choice and SAG Awards she is confirmed to attend every event she is nominated for between the BAFTA Awards tomorrow night and the Academy Awards. For the Film Independent Spirit Awards I am expecting that Cate will be the most glamorous member of the red carpet, but she has been faltering recently so I am holding out hope. The moment I saw this cream Christian Dior Spring 2016 Couture ruffled gown which features a blue and yellow embellished blouse my mind started screaming for Cate to wear it and I think that the Spirit Awards would be the perfect platform for her to give this gown a beautiful red carpet moment. The classic fit and the sculptural beauty of this dress make it something that I am very intrigued to see Cate wearing on the red carpet. I would just add a pair of gold pumps, a pink lip, & a vintage inspired bob will ensure that Cate is red carpet perfection.

A Cynthia Nixon appearance on the red carpet is a very rare thing so I am very interested to see what she is going to wear come the Film Independent Spirit Awards on the red carpet. Usually Cynthia wears Carolina Herrera on the red carpet and I bet you she does the same for the Spirit Awards. While I had to schedule this post prior to the Carolina Herrera Fall 2016 show but I think that this black pleated tea length wool dress from the Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2016 belted dress is something that I can absolutely picture her wearing. It is such a simple dress that I am hoping that Cynthia would pair it with a great pair of floral printed pumps and a pink lip to add a little punch to this look.

Usually I don't like what Elizabeth Olsen wears on the red carpet and I am hoping that when she steps out on the Independent Spirit Awards that she gives me something that I can actually get behind. I picked this black lace Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2016 one shoulder cocktail dress which features a zipper detail on the hip. I have a deep love for this dress so I am hoping that Elizabeth makes this dress shine like I know it can on the red carpet. I would probably have the hemline brought up just a little so that the length doesn't cut her off when she puts on a pair of gold pumps to finish this look off for a perfect Spirit Awards red carpet.

Jessica Chastain has always been a favorite of mine on the red carpet and she has been very much missed on the red carpets this awards season so I am very excited to see what the stunning redhead and this year's honorary event chair will wear on the red carpet. This red ruffled Michael Kors Spring 2016 RTW cocktail dress will be old news by the time that this red carpet rolls around but I am still hoping that Jessica wears it on the red carpet. I picked this dress because it embodies everything that the Independent Spirit Awards red carpet embodies. It's fun, flirty, glamorous, relaxed, and elegant. Keep the styling simple with a pair of gold strappy sandals, relaxed waves, and a red lip and Jessica will make a triumphant return to the red carpet.

I am done expecting anything great out of Rooney Mara but I am going to keep on dreaming I think that this white Jason Wu Spring 2016 RTW ruffled cocktail dress is something that is absolutely perfect on the red carpet for the Spirit Awards. I think that this dress is something that Rooney would wear but since it is something I want her to wear I doubt that she will. I figure that Rooney would bring this look down with black sandals when it really needs silver sandals and a red lip to ensure that it is a beautiful red carpet moment.

2015 Hamptons International Film Festival Red Carpet Wish List Part 1

The Hampton's International Film Festival kicks off today and unlike most years it seems like many stars will be flocking to Long Island's famous resort town to promote their films. Cate Blanchett is one of the women expected to make her way to East Hampton to promote her latest film "Truth" at the Opening and the centerpiece gala of the festival is for her film "Carol." I only picked one look for Cate based on time constraints but I think that this Marc Jacobs Spring 2016 RTW ensemble with its red button down blouse and black trousers is a perfect look for this festival. The HIFF is known for being a more laid back festival so this ensemble would work for either of Cate's premieres. I love how this gives off a glamorous take on 1930's/40's women's work wear, and I love Cate in a vintage inspired moment. Finish the look off with Louboutin pump, Veronica Lake waves, & a red lip to ensure that Cate is oh so effortlessly glamorous.

I have doubts that Diane Kruger will journey to the Hampton's for the festivals premiere of her film "Disorder" since it is not one of the Gala or main slate films. If Diane does decide to jet out for the premiere, because why not?, I would love to see her wearing this black Christopher Kane Spring 2015 RTW slip dress which features a multicolored abstract print at the neckline, and a sexy split. This would be one off the sexier looks Diane would wear this year and I think she would rock the hell out of this simple 90's inspired dress. I would finish it off with the runways electric blue sandals, soft waves, and a red lip to ensure Diane is on fleek.

Emily Blunt may not have a film premiering at the HIFF she will be attending an "In Conversation" talk on Sunday. I would love to see Emily wear this soft white Peter Pilotto Spring 2015 RTW dress detailed with navy blue embroidery. I think that this is a perfect middle of the day look for Emily to rock for this type of an event. This dress will look good for the pre/post standing pictures as well as look good while she is sitting being interviewed. Finish the look with a pair of gold pumps and a soft pink lip and Emily will be sure to have a perfect look on her hands.

#VMAs2015: Beyonce, Ellie Goulding, & FKA Twigs Red Carpet Wish List

#Cannes2015: "The Tale of Tales" Premiere Wish List

Alba Rohrwacher made a splash in the fashion world when she stepped out at the 2014 Venice Film Festival wearing Louis Vuitton and Valentino Couture. Since then she has worn Miu Miu during the Tribeca Film Festival and was the guest of Valentino's Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli at the Met Ball last Monday night. I am sure that Alba will bring something amazing to the red carpet come the Cannes Film Festival premiere of "The Tale of Tales" on Thursday. For the photocall we could see Alba in a variety of different designers and while I am betting on Prada, Miu Miu, or Louis Vuitton I would love to see her wear this Valentino Pre-Fall 2015 floral embroidered midi dress. The high neck and bright yet somber colors make this a perfect look for Alba to wear for the photocall. I would pair this dress with a pair of Valentino Fall 2014 Couture lace up gladiator sandals and Alba's signature barely there makeup to ensure a perfect photocall ensemble. For the premiere I am almost 100% certain that Alba will wear Valentino and I would love to see her wear this white gown from the Valentino Sala Bianca New York couture collection. The chic white turtleneck cap sleeved top and delicate embroidered skirt would mix perfectly on the Cannes red carpet. I think that for a Cannes premiere that Alba might step up her hair and makeup. I would finish this look with chic waves, a red lip, a white Edie Parker clutch, and a pair of simple white or gold sandals, these details would give a perfect ensemble for a Cannes Film Festival premiere.

Salma Hayek has had a fall from grace. I used to love all of the looks that Salma would wear on the red carpet but since she has been exclusively wearing the Kering Group set of designers her style has just gone down hill. I was excited to see Salma branch out of that box by wearing an Elie Saab couture gown last month. I am hoping that the Salma that I know and love will be on full display on Thursday as she promotes "The Tale of Tales." I did stick to a Kering brand for Salma for the photocall. I think that this fitted Christopher Kane Fall 2015 RTW pink glitter lightning dress that features a slight A-line silhouette with a jewel neckline, a glitter coating, and an illusion lightning bolt detail at the bodice. I think that this would be a fun look for Salma to wear for this photocall with a pair of nude Gucci pumps and simple hair and makeup as the dress is such a statement in itself. For the premiere that night I would love to see Salma wear another Elie Saab Couture gown. This dark to light red Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture ombre silk chiffon gown that features a ruched waistline and a plunging neckline would look stunning on Salma showcasing her fiery Latina personality. This gown would waft down the Cannes red carpet, up the stairs of the Palais de Festivals, and into the Grand Lumiere. Accessorize the look with some stunning Boucheron diamond earrings, a red satin clutch, and a pair of simple red sandals, and finish the look with chic Veronica Lake waves and a red lip. These touches will fish off a look that completely embodies the Cannes Film Festival red carpet.

2015 Elton John Academy Awards Viewing Party Wish List

Elton John hosts a huge star studded gala benefit to watch the Academy Awards every year. The proceeds benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Dita von Teese is one of the ladies who I am hoping will be a guest at the Elton John party on Sunday night. Dita is always a favorite on the red carpet and I would love it if she showed up wearing this amazing Ralph & Russo Spring 2015 Couture floral embellished caped cocktail dress. Dita was seated front row at the Ralph & Russo Spring 2015 Couture collection presentation last month and I am still waiting for her to give a red carpet moment with one of these looks. The 1950s style is exactly what we would expect from the burlesque diva on the red carpet. Her classic old Hollywood beauty regiment, a pair of gold pumps and a gold clutch will ensure that Dita gives me a memorable red carpet moment on Oscar night.

Heidi Klum is one of the co-chairs of this years Elton John AIDS Foundation and I am sure that we will see the former Victoria's Secret model wearing a design from Atelier Versace. It would actually be really shocking to me if Heidi doesn't wear a Versace design. I would pick this sleek white Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture on sleeve asymmetrical gown. What I love about this gown for Heidi is that it would still be a shock while still being in her wheelhouse. The fact that there a zero embellishments on this gown would be the biggest shock of the night. Of course this gown would make for the perfect backdrop for some stunning statement Lorraine Schwartz colored diamond earrings. Finished with a pair of silver pumps and glossy hair and makeup and Heidi will for sure have a perfect red carpet look on her hand.

Karolina Kurkova is always a delight to see when she takes to the red carpet. It doesn't matter if she is stepping out for a front row or the Met Ball it is always a major look. Karolina was seated front row when Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli presented the Valentino "Sala Bianca" Couture collection to commemorate the grand re-opening of the Valentino NYC Flagship last month. I would love to see Karolina snatch up this simplistic white one shoulder gown from that collection. This gown is 90s glam at its best and I think that if anyone could breath life into such a simplistic gown it is Karolina. Finishing the look with a silver Edie Parker clutch, silver Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals and some simple Chopard diamond earrings would ensure that Karolina simplistically stuns.

Miley Cyrus is also a co-chair for the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party on Sunday night. I am hoping that the "Wrecking Ball" singer stops by and gives me a major red carpet moment. I think that going the mannish route via this Christopher Kane Pre-Fall 2015 tuxedo with patent leather detailing would be an amazing direction for Miley to go for this event. Everyone will be expecting Miley to show up in another of the ultra sexy looks from the Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2015 Couture collection and I think that this is a look that is unexpected. A pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps, a statement Chopard diamond necklace and a bold red lip will ensure that Miley continues to shock people on the red carpet.

Every year Nina Dobrev dolls herself up and heads on over to raise money for the Elton John AIDS foundation at the Oscars viewing party looking absolutely fabulous. I am excited to see what Nina, and her stylist Ilaria Urbinati, are cooking up for this years gala. I would love to see Nina go short and in couture with this stunning Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture peach long sleeve embellished mini dress. Nina always goes for full gowns for these type of events, but doesn't the fact that this dress is couture make up for the fact that it isn't a gown? Nude sandals, a peachy pink Edie Parker clutch, simple diamond earrings, a chic updo and dewy makeup would finish this look off in just the right way for Nina for this event.

And last but not least we have the final wish for an Oscars party. Spanish actress is one of my favorites on the red carpet and I am excited to see if she takes to the red carpet on Sunday night. I would love to see Paz wear this Stephane Rolland Spring 2015 Couture long sleeve gown with sheer panels and beautiful trumpet skirt. The bodice and sleeves of this gown reminds me of medieval armor or dragon scales, but the whole gown gives off this a very modern vibe. I think this gown with Paz's new short hair, a red lip, a silver clutch, diamond cluster earrings and a pair of silver sandals will put Paz in the running for a Best Dressed of the Year ensemble.

2015 Independent Spirit Awards: Carmen, Emma, Jena, Jessica, Julianne, & Marion Wish List

2015 BAFTA Awards: Keira, Margot, Reese, Rosamund, & Shailene Wish List

I am hoping that when Keira Knightley, who was shockingly absent from the Academy Award Nominees Luncheon on Monday, takes to the red carpet on Sunday for the BAFTA Awards that she finally hits a red carpet stride that covers her baby bump in a glamorous way. The moment that I saw this Andrew Gn Pre-Fall 2015 gown. The beading on the top of this gown would give me something interesting to look at in the sack-ish style dress that the Best Supporting Actress nominee is bound to wear. Hair styled in a chic up-do, a soft lip, a gold clutch, and a pair of gold sandals are exactly what is needed for this stunning red carpet maternity look for Keira.

I was all excited at the beginning of last year because I thought a had found a new girl crush in Margot Robbie, then she let me down. Hard. I am hoping that the EE Rising Star Award nominee will bring me back to the time where my jaw dropped at the sight of her. This silver crystal embellished Stephane Rolland Spring 2015 Couture top paired with a white skirt with a very dramatic train is the direction that I would love to see Margot rock on the BAFTA Awards red carpet on Sunday. The actresses blonde locks swept into Veronica Lake waves, along with a bold red lip and a pair of silver sandals would ensure that Margot gets back in my good graces and back on Best Dressed lists.

Color. Still the one thing that I am missing from Reese Witherspoon this awards season. I am still holding out hope that she will wear the Antonio Berardi gown that I so desperately wanted to see her wear for the Golden Globe Awards, but I am going to move past wishing for it again. Sticking to the same soft pink palette I picked this Delpozo Spring 2015 RTW (Not Couture) double sided silk twill gown that features a floral embellished bib at the front, a geometric construction around the waist, an exposed tulle underlay and full train at the back. I love that stars are embracing the avant garde Spanish designer for their red carpet dressing. Old Hollywood waves thrown over one shoulder, a pink lip, and nude sandals would ensure that all eyes are on Reese at the BAFTA Awards.

Rosamund Pike has not lived up to the expectations that I had set for her this awards season. I am hoping that on her home turf that the Best Leading Actress nominee with be on point again. When I was flipping through the Christopher Kane Pre-Fall 2015 lookbook and I came to this stunning art nouveau lace bodice gown with a pleated tulle skirt, my heart started to flutter. The gown features a semi-sheer bodice with allover Art Nouveau patches, bonded with leather, vinyl, bright and metallic accents, and a floor-length pleated tulle skirt. This gown is elegant and effortless while being extremely fashion forward and avant garde. Rosamund would look lovely in this gown with a sleek bob (a la the Golden Globes), a pink clutch, and a pair of gold sandals would finish off this look perfectly for the BAFTA's red carpet.

Finally we have the final wish for the 2015 BAFTAs. Shailene Woodley is nominated for the EE Rising Star Award and I am slightly interested in what it is that she will wear. With a big promo tour for "Insurgent" coming up, the sequel to the hit "Divergent," I am sure that Shai will be on top form. This Prabal Gururng Pre-Fall 2015 ensemble is exactly what I picture Shailene in for the BAFTA Awards. Consisting of a black floral embroidered strapless gown worn under a black and red embroidered silk crop top this look screams the laid back style that Shailene puts off on the red carpets. Paired with a pair of black sandals and a red lip I think that Shailene would have a best dressed look on her hands at the BAFTA Awards.

"American Sniper" LA Premiere Wish List

Sienna Miller basically only exclusively wears British designers on the red carpet and I love that fact. For the Los Angeles premiere of "American Sniper," which has been generating some Oscar buzz, I would love to see Sienna wear this Christopher Kane Spring 2015 RTW black scoop neck tulle cocktail dress with a dropped waist and A-line skirt with allover rope-inspired embroidery. This is modern and vintage and sexy all rolled into one avant garde ensemble. A pair of burgundy sandals and a black Edie Parker clutch would finish this look off perfectly for a major red carpet premiere.
