2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish List Part 9

Ciara has been out on every major awards show red carpet over the past year and is expected to be out on Oscar night at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party gala as she is one of the events many celebrity co-chairs. While almost every single red carpet look that Ciara has worn on the red carpets recently has been Alexandre Vauthier I would most love to see Ciara wearing this green Akris Pre-Fall 2016 sequined gown with her favored sexy high thigh split as well as a bodice splice. This is a perfect look for a music star out on the red carpet on Oscar night as it mixes that edge you get from music and the glamour of a film red carpet. A pair of simple black sandals, hair styled in a sleek low ponytail (like the lookbook), a pair of diamond cluster earrings, and red lip would ensure that this is a major look for Ciara on the Elton John red carpet.

Last years Oscar winner Julianne Moore is presenting at the ceremony and I am sure that we will have an amazing moment on the main stage red carpet but I am also hoping that she changes for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party after the show. Julianne has always been one of my favorite red carpet ladies and I am truly hoping that she gives me two looks on Oscar night. For the Vanity Fair party I picked this amazing black Versace Pre-Fall 2016 grommet embellished gown which features long sheer sleeves. This is a type of look that I would expect to see on the back of someone who went big on the main red carpet and want to slip into something a little more comfortable to party in for the Vanity Fair party. A black clutch, black pumps, a pair of statement stone earrings, and a red lip would finish this perfect after-party look for Julianne.

Naomi Campbell is another that is on the long list of co-chairs for the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party and I am sure that the supermodel will be out on the red carpet. For big red carpet outings Naomi has a small arsenal of designer friends like Donatella Versace, Azzendine Alaia, and Riccardo Tisci to whom she looks to dress her. I am going with Riccardo Tisci and this beige Givenchy Spring 2016 Couture draped gown which featured crocodile tin on the stomach cutout. I am not usually a fan of Naomi on the red carpet. There is almost always something that I find I have a problem with, usually her hair. I would recommend to Naomi that she wear the sleeves of this gown up on her shoulders instead of off the shoulder, add old Hollywood waves pushed over one shoulder, add a red lip and some gold sandals to ensure that this is a beautiful red carpet moment for Naomi for the Elton John party (and who knows maybe for Vanity Fair as well.)

Nina Dobrev is always a fixture at awards show parties and next Sunday night I would put my money on her attending the Elton John party. Nina has been on the Elton John red carpet almost every year since she burst on to the red carpet scene. I would love to see the former Vampire Diaries star to show up for Elton wearing this white J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2016 black & white corded halter gown. This is a very Nina gown. She loves a classic yet dramatic look, and if this gown is not on the main stage I would love to see Nina wearing it for Elton John. Such a glam look needs very classic styling with a black Rauwolf clutch, black Christian Louboutin sandals, a red lip, and diamond drop earrings to ensure that Nina has a Hollywood moment on Hollywood's biggest night.

I certainty am expecting to see Rita Ora out on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party as I don't think Rita has ever met a red carpet that she hasn't liked. I would love to see Rita bring some DRAMA to the Vanity Fair party red carpet wearing this black and white Giambattista Valli Spring 2016 Couture tea length ball gown. This is a majorly dramatic moment and I think that Rita would be one of the best choices to give this gown to to have the total impact that I can picture it having on a red carpet. The styling would have to be on point to ensure that this doesn't go into costume territory. A pair of black sandals, a sleek updo, red lip, and diamond cluster earrings would make this look an amazing red carpet moment for Rita on Oscar night.

2016 People's Choice Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 1

The People's Choice Awards is the second awards show of 2016 setting off on January 6, 2016. The dress at People's Choice is usually all over the place with looks ranging from jeans and t-shirts to evening gowns and off the rack purchases to haute couture, so it makes for a fun evening seeing all the different types of looks that grace the red carpet. ABC's Blood and Oil's Amber Valetta is one of the confirmed stars to take to the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards. I was really excited to find out that Amber was transitioning from modeling into TV and was hoping that would mean some amazing red carpet moments, that hasn't happened as of yet but I am always hopeful that it will turn around. With Balmain being everywhere & getting more and more tacky by each new collection I am almost fatigued but this almost sexy tuxedo inspired ensemble from the Balmain Spring 2016 RTW collection is one that I really want to see on a red carpet. I believe that with her supermodel presence that Amber would rock the hell out of this number on the red carpet, giving her a sultry sexy major moment to kick off 2016. Finished with a sleek hairstyle, a red lip, & black Christian Louboutin pumps & this look would make for a great kickoff to the People's Choice Awards red carpet.

Anna Kendrick is nominated at the 2016 People's Choice Awards for Best Comedic Actress thanks to her work in Pitch Perfect 2. Anna had a rather boring year on the red carpet in 2015 so I am hoping that she will make a come back in 2016. I picked this black Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2016 ensemble for Anna to wear for the People's Choice Awards because I think that this is a chic yet subtle and sophisticated way to start her getting back on her feet. Amp up the look with a pair of statement Jimmy Choo sandals and a pair of diamond studs to ensure that Anna kills the red carpet. 

One person who I am really excited to hopefully see on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards next Wednesday is Blake Lively, who is nominated for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress thanks to The Age of Adeline. I was not a fan of the actual movie but I love seeing Blake on the red carpet so I hope she steps out (especially since she hasn't been on a red carpet since promoting the movie earlier this year.) I would love to see Blake wear a version of this Gucci Spring 2016 RTW dress. I love this teal blue sequin dress with it's almost comic boom detailing. I think a shorter version with no rosette at the neck would make for a perfect look for Blake for this red carpet. Paired with a sleek pony tail, a pink lip, and a pair of silver Christian Louboutin pumps this look would be a major moment for Blake at the People's Choice Awards.

After killer promotional tours for Paper Towns and Pan I am really excited to see what Cara Delevinge will pop up in on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards, if she attends. Cara is nominated for the The DailyMail.com Seriously Popular award and I could totally picture the supermodel, whom has a major fan base, winning this type of award. Some of my favorite looks from Cara have come thanks to Alexandre Vauthier and this gold sequined Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2016 RTW ensemble. This sexy ensemble is something that I could picture Cara snatching up and rocking on the red carpet of the People's Choice Awards. This look would be perfectly styled with a pair of gold Christian Louboutin sandals and hair worn in Cara's signature waves.

Charlize Theron is probably one of the women that I am most excited to see take to the red carpet during awards season. Charlize is one of my favorite actresses to see on the red carpet as she just exudes glamour. While she is contractually obligated to wear Dior on the red carpet at the big events, like the Golden Globes or the Oscars, I get excited to see what else she will bring to these types of events. At the People's Choice Awards Charlize is nominated for Favorite Action Movie Actress thanks to Mad Max: Fury Road, and I am really hoping that she will make an appearance. For this red carpet I think that this sexy Anthony Vaccarello Spring 2016 RTW asymmetrical cocktail dress which has a very borrowed from the boys type look. This dress is masculine and sexy which is something we have not seen from Charlize in a very long time. A pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals, a white Dior clutch, and a red lip would ensure that this look is sleek and sexy.

After 2015 I think Ciara is becoming like Leslie Mann or Heidi Klum and inserting herself on any red carpet that she can. At the 2016 People's Choice Awards Ciara will be on the red carpet as she is nominated for Favorite R&B Artist. I didn't even know Ciara had released new music so I guess it tells you how much I follow her. For this res carpet I would love to see Ciara in this black Vera Wang Spring 2016 RTW ensemble. I think that this crop top and feather embellished pencil skirt would make for a perfect look for Ciara. She has been wearing a lot of edgy black ensembles and this would probably take the cake on all of them. A pair of the red to black ombre Christian Louboutin "Hot Chick" pointed toe pumps, sleek slicked back hair, and a red lip would ensure that Ciara has a major all black moment on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards.

2015 American Music Awards: Celine, Chloe, Ciara, Gigi & Gwen Red Carpet Wish List

 Performers and presenters for the 2015 American Music Awards just keep coming in, the addition of Celine Dion this morning to the list of performers held up this post. Celine has been added to perform a special rendition of Edith Piaf’s “Hymne à L’Amour” in French as tribute to those affected by the recent attacks in Paris at the American Music Awards on Sunday night. I have long been a fan of Celine's style and I am intrigued to see what she and stylist Annie Horth will put together for such a somber moment in the show. I believe that this strapless Elie Saab Spring 2013 Couture black gown with black embellishments of the bodice would be a beautiful statement for Celine to make. It would honor not just those in Paris but also Beirut, two places attacked recently and both important to the Elie Saab label. This is such a chic elegant moment that I would hope that Celine and Annie do pull from the Elie Saab couture closet to give such a beautiful moment at the American Music Awards.

 Actress Chloe Grace Moretz is on the list of presenters for Sunday night's American Music Awards and I am trying to figure out what the 18 year old actress would wear. I ended up settling on this Christian Dior Spring 2015 Couture bright yellow embellished coat dress because its edgy yet mod which is exactly what I think an actress presenting at a music awards show should be. No need for big gowns for this occasion as it really isn't her night. I would keep the styling simple with a pair of black Christian Dior pointed toe pumps and a mod hairstyle to keep this look chic and simple without it turning into a costume.

 After attending both the Grammy Awards and the VMA's this year with no real purpose other than wearing a pretty dress on the red carpet Ciara will actually have a duty at the 2015 American Music Awards as a presenter. If record has anything to say about it Ciara will be wearing Alexandre Vauthier on Sunday but after inspecting all of the current collections and the couture archive there isn't a look from the label that I particularly love for her. This black and white Alexander McQueen Spring 2016 RTW long sleeve lace turtle neck gown embroidered with a beautiful eagle on the other hand is something that I can totally picture Ciara wearing and working the hell out of. Many devoted red carpet fanatics, myself included, are sick of the naked dress trend but it seems like is has no signs of slowing down and when the gown can be this fierce who can really complain. Sleek hair pulled into a tight bun, a bronze smokey eye, a pair of diamond cluster earrings, and strappy black sandals will complete this perfect look for the AMA red carpet.

 Making her first appearance on this blog in a wish list model Gigi Hadid is going to be presenting Sunday night at the 2015 American Music Awards. I am intrigued as to what Gigi will end up wearing on the red carpet. After making a splash in two Atelier Versace gowns on Oscar night I was excited to see more from Gigi but sadly she has not really lived up to that standard she set. For Sunday nights awards I would love to see Gigi wearing this lipstick red Elie Saab Spring 2016 RTW strapless stretch cady and silk georgette jumpsuit for the red carpet. I was surprised when I saw Gigi on this runway and I think that she would fit right in wearing this collection on the red carpet. A pair of gold sandals, beachy waves, and fresh faced makeup will ensure that Gigi injects some cool girl status into this music awards red carpet.

Gwen Stefani will be on hand Sunday night as the only performer in this group. Gwen will be performing her new song "Used To Love You" and I am really excited to see what she will be rocking on the red carpet and during her performance. Her duo of Atelier Versace looks at the 2015 Grammy Awards were AMAZING and I am hoping that she continues to make amazing sartorial decisions. I would love to see Gwen take on the Marc Jacobs Spring 2016 RTW collection for the red carpet. There are a lot of looks that I think she could work the hell out of but I ultimately decided to choose this blue surrealist print gowns which looks like they have been dip dyed in bleach. I love how this gown gives a laid back approach to high glamour and I honestly think Gwen is one of the few that could make this look crazy high fashion. I would finish the look with Gwen's signature red lip, a vintage inspired hairstyle, a pair of silver pumps, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings to keep the vintage inspired air of this look going on the red carpet. 

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.

#VMAs2015: Best Dressed at the 2015 VMAs

 So the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards were last night, and I gotta say that I was quite underwhelmed by the red carpet. Many stars played it way to safe, some looked like they just left the beach, and very few took risks. Rita Ora took a risk and went for sexy high glamour in her custom Vera Wang gown with its ostrich feather ball skirt. While I can't believe that I am topping a best dressed list with a black gown, there really was almost no color to be seen on the red carpet anyway.

FKA Twigs continues to show us that she is someone to reckon with on the red carpet. Her black Atelier Versace Fall 2015 Couture ensemble, may be likened to the ensemble that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore to the collections presentation, was sexy and dramatic. This is what I expect to see on the VMAs red carpet. 

I am sure many of you will disagree with me but Miley Cyrus in her custom Atelier Versace chandelier harness and boots really rocked it out. This is a music video awards show and the stars are not taking enough risks. What other awards show could you get away with wearing something like this on the red carpet and not get torn to shreds? I don't even think that this would have gone over well at the Grammy Awards but on Miley at the VMA's it was pure perfection.

Taylor Swift rocked a firey beaded fringe Yousef Aljasmi bodysuit to lay down the hathet and perform with Nicki Minaj, whom she had been feuding on twitter with (I have a whole other theory about that but we will just stuck to the fashion.) I think that Taylor has become quite the sexy thing over the past year and she definately knows how to work it.

While I was really in love from the get go with her performance outfit, it took me a little longer to get behind the two piece Ashish ensemble that TayTay wore on the red carpet. I was thinking that 1989 got a little too literal with this sparking houndstooth ensemble that reminds me of a 1980's workout video. I will say that what I did like about this is that on a sea of safe that Taylor did take a risk and that risk paid off. 

Why was Ciara at the 2015 VMA's? Your guess is a good as mine but I am really happy that she was. Her Alexandre Vauthier Fall 2015 Couture fringe ensemble was one of my favorite looks of the night. I think that on any other night I would have looked at this and gone WTF, but last night when I was craving some avant garde fashion Ciara brought it.

You can see all the best and worst look from the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards on the Facebook page. Comment your thoughts, I would love to know who was YOUR Best/Worst Dressed.

2013 American Music Awards: Ciara, Jennifer Lopez, & Jessica Biel

Ciara is also nominated for a few awards at the 2013 American Music Awards on Sunday and will also be presenting. I am hoping to see the stunning singer take to the red carpet and wow me on the red carpet. This lavender Versace Spring 2013 RTW long sleeve gown might be 'covered' kind of but is still extremely sexy. The sheer panels and cutouts along with the chain details make it not your grandmothers gown. Finish the look with a pair of silver Giuseppe Zanotti peep toe pumps and sleek straight locks will make sure this was an absolutely stunning red carpet ensemble.

Jennifer Lopez will be on hand Sunday night at the 2013 American Music Awards as a performer and will also present the first ever Icon Award to Rihanna. I am hoping for a major DIVA moment from Jennifer on the red carpet as we have not seen her go full on DIVA in a very long time and we are due for a best dressed diva moment. Now many who followed the looks at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival might take a different stand on the fact that I am choosing this black Stephane Rolland Spring 2013 Couture mermaid gown with a sheer section showing part of the leg. Paz Vega wore a different gown from this collection with the same detail and did not have the best result. What I say to them is that Jennifer has the DIVA attitude that was missing in Paz's ensemble. Finish the look with sexy waves, a pair of black Christian Louboutin embellished sandals, as well as some amazing diamond jewelry and Jennifer will have the most amazing red carpet ensemble.

Having been the most supportive wife attending the Time 100, the Grammy's, VMAs, Cannes Film Festival, as well as film premieres on the arm of hubby Justin Timberlake I am kind of excited to see if Jessica Biel will take to the red carpet on his arm Sunday night at the 2013 American Music Awards. For this event I think that this jade green Elie Saab Spring 2014 RTW gown is a simple yet perfect look for her to attend this event wearing as to not outshine anyone who is nominated including her husband, who will no doubt be wearing Tom Ford. Finish the look with a gold clutch, a pair of gold Christian Louboutin pumps, a gold cuff, and a pair of gold drop earrings and Jessica will be the best dressed plus one.
