2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards: Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a TV Drama Nominee Wish List

Claire Danes is always one that I enjoy seeing on the red carpet and I am excited that she is nominated for Outstanding

2016 AFI Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 1

Every year the American Film Institute compiles a list of the 10 best movies and television shows of the previous year. This year this list is chock full of movies and television shows that have strong female performances and we are bound to see the stars of these films and shows on the red carpet of the AFI Awards luncheon red carpet on January 8, 2016. Brie Larson might be this seasons biggest underdog and the one to watch. I am really looking forward to seeing what the Room actress will be bringing to the red carpet. For this event I would love to see Brie wearing this white Bottega Veneta Spring 2016 RTW halter dress. This dress is such a chic and simple look which is perfect for a daytime luncheon. I am hoping that Brie continues to expand her repertoire of designers and this would be a lovely addition. Finish with a pair of simple nude sandals and fresh faced make up to finish this luncheon look off perfectly.

I can't believe I am saying this but I was very underwhelmed by what Cate Blanchett brought to the red carpet last year. I think that this is the first time in a while where I haven't had a single look from Cate gracing any of my end of the year awards. I am hoping that come awards season that Cate finds her footing again as she is set to be on every major red carpet this season. For the AFI Awards I would love to see Cate wearing this Roksanda Spring 2016 RTW ensemble which incorporates a simple sky blue silk blouse and pair of beige desert printed pants with sculptural detail in goldenrod on the right hip. I think that this look is something that many would not be able to pull of but the red carpet queen would have no trouble. This is the type of look that I think Cate needs to get me interested in her again, if she steps out in one more black Armani look I might cry.

I am super excited to see Charlize Theron on the red carpet this awards season. I know that she will undoubtedly be in Dior at all the big events but for some of the smaller event I am hoping that she will dig into some of the other brands that she tends to favor. For the AFI Awards I picked this incredibly chic black Jason Wu Spring 2016 RTW structured dress which features side cutouts and ruffles. I love how this look mixes classic sophistication with a fun flirtatious edge. Charlize knows how to take a simple look like this and make me fall head over heels in love with it. Something like the black Christian Louboutin 'Bareta' studded pumps, casual hair, a red lip, and a Dior clutch would ensure that Charlize slays this look at the AFI Awards.

Claire Danes is another whom I usually love but in 2015 she really let me down. I am hoping that if she takes to the red carpet at the AFI Awards for her show Homeland that she will be back on form. To help her do so I picked a sexy borrowed from the boys type of look. This Versace Spring 2016 RTW black pinstripe dress is something that is sexy and sophisticated, perfect for the AFI Awards luncheon. I know that while some might be tempted to go all Angelina Jolie with their leg and that sexy slit, I know that Claire would keep it classy and just let the leg pop out the split naturally. Finished with a pair of simple black Jimmy Choo pumps and fresh faced makeup and Claire will be ready to hit the red carpet and work it like she hasn't worked on in a long time.

If there was a fashion breakout star in 2015 it had to be Daisy Ridley who captured our hearts and the eye of many of the top designers. As she did such an amazing job while promoting Star Wars: The Force Awakens so I am sure that they will send her to the AFI Awards, where the film is being honored. Since Daisy has yet to double dip on designers I am continuing to expand her base by picking this black Etro Spring 2016 RTW ensemble which consists of a floral printed leather bodice and a tiered eyelet hem skirt. With the caliber of looks that Daisy has been putting out I could see many being bored with this type of look, but I think that the visual interest on the blouse is perfect for this type of more casual type of a red carpet. Finished with soft curls, a pink lip, and a pair of gold Christian Louboutin pointed toe pump and this is a perfect AFI Awards red carpet look.

Emilia Clarke was up and down last year and I am hoping that if she attends the 2016 AFI Awards to represent Game of Thrones that she starts the year on the right foot. What better way to do that than wearing this aqua blue Roland Mouret Spring 2016 RTW flared dress. Emilia is not one who is afraid of a bold color and since the AFI Awards are handed out during a luncheon this more laid back style is totally appropriate. The dress is classic and has a sense of flirtation with it's flared skirt. I would just add a pair of gold Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals and a pink lip to finish this look off.

#Emmys2015: Oustanding Actresss in a Lead Role in a Drama Series Nominee Wish List

In just under a month the biggest stars from the past year in television will be taking to the red carpet for the 2015 Emmy Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. I am excited because I think that this year will be a good year for fashion on the Emmy Awards red carpet. Claire Danes, nominated for "Homelamd," always hits home runs in the biggest designers on the red carpet and I am hoping that she continues to knock it out of the park this year. I love this dark blue and purple Armani Prive Fall 2015 Couture strapless column gown which I can only liken to an oil slick. I think that this gown is something that we haven't seen Claire wear on the red carpet and I think she would look amazing wearing. Finished with a chic up-do, a black Edie Parker clutch, a pair of simple sandals, and a pair of diamond drop earrings and this will make for a stunning red carpet moment. 

The 2015 Emmy Awards will be the last time that Elisabeth Moss will walk the red carpet as a nominee for her hit AMC series "Mad Men." The final season of "Mad Men" has garnered a lot of Emmy buzz for Elisabeth so I am sure that she will be on the red carpet in her top form. I picked this royal blue Georges Hobeika Fall 2015 Couture strapless mermaid gown which features a small embellishment via a bow belt at the waist. I think that this is a chic gown that would look elegant and timeless, a perfect look for the "Mad Men" star. Styled with a matching royal blue clutch, a pair of silver sandals, diamond cluster earrings, a chic low bun, and a red lip and Elizabeth will look positively breathtaking red carpet ensemble.

Robin Wright sticks to cream, white, and black when it comes to her red carpet dressing. I am sure that Robin will wear black on the Emmy Red carpet. I picked this Valentino Fall 2015 Couture sheer chiffon gown for Robin. I think that this gown is sexy yet very chic, with a hint of 70's disco glamour. Robin isn't expected to win this year so couture might be a little out of her reach on this red carpet. Finish with a black clutch, black Christian Louboutin pumps, and a pair of Van Cleef & Arpels yellow gold set diamond drop earrings to ensure that this is an impact making black dress.

Annalists are predicting that Taraji P. Henson has a high chance of winning the Outstanding Actress in a Lead Role in a Drama Series for her role as Cookie on the Fox series "Empire." I would love to see Taraji wear a custom Donna Karan Atelier gown in a bold color but to pick a runway look I had to go with this black and white Donna Karan Resort 2016 strapless gown with a stunning chest bow that would make this look stand out from other black and white gowns. Accessorized with a silver embellished clutch, a pair of silver embellished evening sandals, and a pair of stunning diamond drop earrings will keep the focus on the gown while adding just enough sparkle. I would love to see Taraji wear her hair up and back so that it won't compete with the bodice of the gown and finish with a red lip to ensure that she looks amazing whether she wins an Emmy or not.

"Orphan Black" star Tatiana Maslany has been perpetually snubbed through at last years Emmy Awards and the 2015 Golden Globe Awards so I am interested to see what she will bring to the red carpet for her first major red carpet as a nominee. This cucumber green Marchesa Resort 2016 one shoulder sculpted gown would be a very elegant option for Tatiana to wear on the Emmy Awards red carpet. While she is not excepted to win she still needs to put her best foot forward and to do so I would add a pair of metallic gold Christian Louboutin sandals, a metallic gold clutch, and some simple diamond cluster earrings set in yellow gold. Finished with a chic low bun and a light pink lip and I know that Tatiana will be a dark horse to keep and eye out for.

Finally for today I am wishing that "How To Get Away With Murder" star Viola Davis to wear this pink Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture sleeveless ball gown. Viola is in a tight race with annalists against Taraji P. Henson for the Emmy Award and I am expecting that both will be on tip top form when they step on to the red carpet. I personally love Viola in "HTGAWM" so she is the one that I am pulling for and I am hoping that she takes home the trophy. I think that this is a dramatic gown that I have picked for Viola, some might say that it is to much for the Emmy Awards, but I believe that this is a look befitting a winner. Finished with gold sandals, gold clutch, and a pair of cluster diamond earrings and Viola will look amazing on the red carpet which ever way the trophy goes.

I will be live tweeting this years Emmy Awards red carpet and telecast with Kelly from Dream In Lace on September 20. I hope you will follow me and Kelly on Twitter and join in on the conversation! I am excited as this is our awards tradition now, so pop your bubbly and join in the fun.

Best Dressed at the 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards

The Screen Actors Guild Awards were held last night at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The stars came out in droves to support themselves and their nominated casts. Despite this being a night of honoring actors it was a plus one who took home my top honor. Camila Alves came on the arm of her hubby Matthew McConaughey. Camila definitely left her disheveled husband (like seriously whats up with the castaway beard?) in the dust wearing a stunning custom Donna Karan Atelier sculpturally draped eggplant strapless gown. Minimal styling and perfect hair and make up finished off a look that stood leaps and bounds above the actors on their big night.

Taking the menswear inspiration to a whole new level Emma Stone wore an impactful custom Christian Dior Couture ensemble. Had this been on anyone else I think that I would have been putting this on the worst dressed list, but Emma pull it off with major aplomb. The sleek hair, red lip, Repossi earcuffs, and Christian Louboutin sandals just sealed this look off with a sultry kiss. Julianne Moore, the Outstanding Female Actor in a Motion Picture winner, shocked me by wearing another custom Givenchy Couture gown on the red carpet last night. I had figured that after wearing Givenchy for the Golden Globe Awards (and topping best dressed lists in it) that Julianne would go to one of her other trusted brands (like Chanel, Dior, Tom Ford, or Balenciaga) for the SAG Awards. I am not complaining because Julianne looks amazing in this emerald beaded Givenchy Couture scoop neck gown. Green is always a delight to see on a red head and Julianne knows that formula very well. Felicity Jones really wowed me wearing this amazing soft pink custom Balenciaga column gown with a sculptural criss-cross portrait neckline. Felicity does this mix of modern and vintage so well and she is just living up to my title of One to Watch that I gave her at the end of last year.

Reese Witherspoon has been on and off of the best and worst dressed lists recently. I was happy that when she showed up at the Screen Actors Guild Awards last night that I was able to firmly put her on the best. Her custom one shoulder Giorgio Armani gown with subtle matte white sequin detailing, was an amazing refreshing modern choice. I am so used to seeing Reese in vintage inspired styles that this ultra modern look was something that I don't know if I would have predicted but I absolutely love. Uzo Aduba, who won Outstanding Female Actor in a Comedy Series, really brought modern life to the red carpet in her Angel Sanchez Spring 2015 RTW gown. One of the few ladies on this list who got her gown off of the runway, I have to say that I was blown away. She has really stepped right into the role of red carpet diva. She keeps getting better and better with every single red carpet that she steps on. If you had told me that Sofia Vergara was going to show up at the SAG Awards in Donna Karan Atelier, I would have totally agreed (she has worn the brand to the SAGs for the past 3 years now), BUT if you had told me that it was not going to be a mermaid gown I would have laughed. I was pleasantly surprised to see Sofia wearing a soft draped Donna Karan Atelier corseted one shoulder red gown. The Colombian beauty really wowed. She showcased all of her famous curves without wearing something skin tight.

Another knock me down with a feather moment was when I realized that I was going to be putting Sarah Paulson on my best dressed list. The "American Horror Story" actress has never really been a favorite of mine, but she has been getting better with each appearance lately. This amazing Armani Prive ensemble that consisted of a white structured cape top and black silk crepe skirt was a red carpet knockout. She really showed her true beauty with this gown. Lupita Nyong'o really let me down at the Golden Globe Awards in Giambattista Valli, so I was really happy she redeemed herself last night. Lupita turned to the red carpet king, Elie Saab, and his Pre-Fall 2015 collection to pick her gown for this red carpet. Making a bold statement with this long sleeve multi pattern ball gown, I have to say that I let out a squeal when I saw a quick glimpse of her and it just got louder when I saw the whole look. And lastly, and I know that this will be a controversial choice, I have to say that I loved Claire Danes in her custom Marc Jacobs hunter green halter gown with side embellishments. Once I had pulled pictures of all of the stars and was looking to fill the last spot in my top 10 my eyes kept coming back to this design. I gotta say I am happy because for the past 2 years Claire has ended up on my worst dressed list for her SAG gown and this year it was something that I absolutely fell in love with.

Who did you love? Was there anyone that you think should have been on this list?

2015 Golden Globe Awards: Claire, Julia, Julianna, & Maggie Wish List

Today starts all of the Golden Globe red carpet wishes for the stars of the small screen. Claire Danes is nominated, yet again, at Sunday nights Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama for her work in the Showtime hit series "Homeland." At the Golden Globe Awards every time that Claire has received a nomination she took home a trophy. Will she do it again this year? My sources tell me that it is pretty unlikely. But I am sure that she will still win at the red carpet. I turned to one of Claire's favorite red carpet designers Giorgio Armani and his Spring 2015 RTW collection to pick the gown for her to wear for the Golden Globes. I think that this silvery grey silk tulle halter gown with a mid section cutout, crystal embellishments on the neckline, and an asymmetrical hemline would make for such a beautiful red carpet moment for Claire. A pair of silver sandals, an elegant updo, and a pretty pink lip would finish this look off perfectly for the red carpet at the Globes.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is nominated at Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a TV Series, Comedy or Musical thanks to her HBO series "VEEP." I have to say that despite her never being one of the women that I really look forward to seeing on the red carpet she has slowly been inching her way onto that list wearing stunning creations from designers like Narciso Rodriguez, Monique Lhuillier, and Carolina Herrera. I figure that Julia will wear a custom gown, like she normally does, but if she were to pick a gown off the runway I would pick this baby blue Oscar de la Renta Spring 2015 RTW collection. This is from the late designers final collection and I am sure that the looks are under very strict lock and key only allowing few individuals access to these gowns for the red carpet. I think that this silhouette would look amazing on Julia and is a softer color than we are used to seeing her wear. Finish the look with a gold embellished clutch and a pair of gold sandals to ensure that all eyes are on Julia.

I am praying that Julianna Margulies, who is nominated Sunday night for Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama thanks to her role as Alicia Florrick on the CBS drama "The Good Wife," brings a major red carpet moment like I know that she can. I want to see her turn this Balenciaga Spring 2015 RTW white cap sleeve cocktail dress turn into a stunning column gown. The gown would feature the same shirred chiffon panels down the side, sequin lattice cap sleeves, and floral embroidered bust line as the cocktail dress just being cut off the the floor with no train. Finish the look with a silver metal Lee Savage clutch, a pair of silver metallic sandals, a pair of diamond cluster earrings, a vintage inspired hairstyle, and a bold red lip to ensure that Julianna juts to the top of the best dressed list.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is a movie star nominated for Best Actress in a Mini-Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television for her role in "The Honorurable Woman." I am hoping that despite her television nomination that she brings couture to the red carpet or custom Prada. Since I cant predict a custom design, and I am almost banking on Maggie wearing a custom Prada design, I decided to turn to my red carpet king Elie Saab to pick a gown for Maggie to wear to the Golden Globes on Sunday night. This stunning copper and blue ombre Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture long sleeve gown with all over embellished embroidery would make for an amazing red carpet look for Maggie for this awards show. I would finish this gown bronze clutch, black sandals, and a bold red lip to ensure that this is an amazing red carpet look for Maggie.

If you want to join the conversation I will be joining Kelly from Dream In Lace with a live Twitter commentary on what all the stars are wearing. So please join me (@FutureStylist93) and Kelly (@DreamInLace) at about 5 PM EST for all kinds of fashion ID's and LOTS of snarky commentary.

2014 Emmy Awards: Best Actress in a Drama Series Nominees Wish List

With the Primetime Emmy Awards just 2 weeks away all of the nominees are going through their fittings making sure that they are going to look their best. I am of course going to give my input on to what I believe that each lady should wear, as always. Up first is Best Actress in a Drama Series nominee Claire Danes. The "Homeland" star has been one to usually wow me but this year her looks have just been alright. I am hoping that come the Emmy's that Claire will be back at the top of her game. I always think that Claire usually looks her best when she is wearing Armani. With that in mind I would love to see her wear this black and red Armani Prive Fall 2014 Couture sculpted peplum gown. I think that this figure hugging silhouette is perfect for this event. Not to much but not boring. Finish the look with a sleek up-do, a red lip, lined eye, a red clutch, and a pair of black Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals to ensure that Claire is once again on top.

Julianna Margulies is nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her work in "The Good Wife" yet again and from what I read it is a big possibility that she will bring home the trophy. With that in mind I want to see Julianna bring it to the red carpet at the 2015 Emmy Awards on the 25th. This blood red to dusty red Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture ombre gown with a plunging neck would be a perfect winning ensemble. I think that Julianna works the red carpet like a pro but often she makes choices that fade into the background or things that don't totally flatter her. This gown would give statement pictures on the red carpet and flow beautifully as she walks up to the podium to accept her award. Julianna will also be on hand as a confirmed presenter. The runway clutch, a pair of gold Christian Louboutin sandals, and a pair of gold set ruby and diamond earrings would finish this look off perfectly for the 2014 Emmy Awards.

If I had to pick a winner for the 2014 Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, I would definitely give my vote to Kerry Washington in "Scandal." while she is considered a threat, like Julianna Margulies, to Robin Wright taking home the trophy I would jump up and down with joy if Kerry won. I would bring some of Kerry's character, Olivia Pope, to her look which might help bring her some extra luck. White is the signature color of Mrs Pope so this white Giambattista Valli Fall 2014 Couture strapless flowing gown with purple and white shirred detail on the bodice would make an expert choice for Kerry to make on the red carpet. Kerry kinda faltered on the red carpet during her pregnancy but since she has been back on top of her game. I might cut the shirred details back so that they are a little more subtle on Kerry. Completing this ensemble with a sleek up do, a white Edie Parker clutch, a pair of purple sandals, and a fresh face of makeup would make this look absolutely perfect for the red carpet at the 2014 Emmy Awards.

I know that Lizzy Caplan has been busy with her stylist Ilaria Urbanati picking her ensembles for Emmy's week. I have recently come about to start loving Lizzy's red carpet moments and I am hoping that she wins my heart yet again on the Emmy Awards red carpet. I believe that Lizzy looks her best in simple sporty type of ensemble. That is why when I was going through pictures trying to pick a gown for her I stumbled on this canary diamond colored Elie Saab Resort 2015 sleeveless gown on the left side of the picture on the right. This gown is perfect for the Emmy's as it isn't too much and it would fit her absolutely stunning figure. A gold clutch and a pair of gold sandals, as well as a few simple selections of canary diamonds will ensure that Lizzy rocks the Emmy red carpet.

Michelle Dockery is part of one of the most beloved series on television, "Downton Abby," and she has received a nomination every year and has yet to take a trophy home herself. Sadly this is not going to be hear year either but I am sure that Michelle will rock the red carpet despite that fact. In the past few years she has always graced the Emmy Awards red carpet wearing a custom gown, so I figure that trend will continue again this year. While I can not pick the custom design that she might wear, as they are top secret, I can pick a gown for her to wear from the runways. This sporty ice blue Jason Wu Resort 2015 gown would look stunning on Michelle who tends to go for a more lady like ensemble. A silver Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver sandals, and some stunning statement diamond earrings would ensure that Michelle will make this a red carpet moment perfection.

Finally I have a wish for most likely to be voted Best Actress in a Drama Series, Robin Wright. Netflix is going to really take over this year with high marks for both "Orange is the New Black" and "House of Cards." The latter of which earned Robin her nomination. Robin has a very grown up chic covered up sense of style which is why I picked this silver Ralph Lauren Fall 2014 RTW silk gown with an attached silk train for the actress to wear. I think that Robin wears silver stunningly and I have to say that she has the height and presence to carry this gown without it dragging or looking ill fitting on her. A silver box clutch , a pair of silver peep toe pump, and a simple pair of diamond earrings that cluster close to the lobe will ensure that Robin rocks the red carpet at the 2014 Emmys.

2014 White House Correspondents Dinner: Guests Wish List Part 1

2014 Met Ball: Anne Hathaway, Claire Danes, Emmy Rossum, Freida Pinto, & Gwyneth Paltrow Wish List

 

2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards: Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series Wish List

 Anna Gunn really went for the wow factor at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards this past Sunday wearing a grand champagne Donna Karan Atelier mermaid gown. Now the Golden Globes is a red carpet where the stars should go big or go home but the Screen Actors Guild Awards this coming Sunday are a much more relaxed event. Anna is nominated for her first solo Screen Actors Guild Award and is the favorite to take home the actor statuette. For the red carpet I think that this putty colored Ralph Lauren Pre-Fall 2014 long sleeved gown with a deep v-neck would look amazing on Anna. A pair of very simple silver Stuart Weizmann sandals, a metallic silver box clutch, and a statement necklace that will dip into that dramatic V will make for the perfect look for the Sunday nights SAG Awards.

 'Homeland' was completely snubbed at the Golden Globes but is still nominated at the 2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards in four categories including one for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series for Claire Danes. Claire caused quite a stir in the fashion world last year at the 2013 Emmy Awards in her nude Armani Prive gown, I personally loved the look it gave a real high fashion moment to a television awards red carpet. For the SAG Awards on Sunday I think that this 1930's inspired copper Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2014 draped gown would look stunning on Claire, especially seeing I don't think that she will take home the Actor this year. Finish this look with bronze accessories and a simple make-up palate and Claire will look fantastic.

Kerry Washington glowed on the red carpet at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards wearing her stunning white custom Balenciaga gown. The pregnant 'Scandal' star is also nominated this coming Sunday for her role in the series as Olivia Pope at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I am still praying for an Elie Saab maternity moment from Kerry and I think that this emerald green Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture gown with an embellished bodice and flowing skirt would give me that perfect moment. After a look that really showcased the baby bump this would make for a much more ethereal look for Kerry. Finish the look with a pair of gold Casadei metallic calf pointed toe pumps, a Salvatore Ferragamo gold metal minaudiere with ton-sur-ton leather detailing, and some vintage gold Fred Leighton
 earrings and Kerry will have another winning maternity ensemble.

2013 Emmy Awards: Oustanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series Wish List

Last year a pregnant Claire Danes walked the red carpet at the Emmy Awards in a lemon yellow Lanvin gown and ultimately took home the trophy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her hit Showtime show 'Homeland,' for which she holds the same nomination for this year. I am hoping to see Claire really return to top red carpet form after a few dull moments at the White House Corespondents Dinner and the Met Gala. I think that this strapless Atelier Versace Fall 2013 Couture blue embellished gown would be a perfect choice for the elegant blonde star. Claire's first post baby red carpet look came courtesy of Atelier Versace, and it was a total knockout, so I know that the two make a magic pair. Just a simple pair of black or silver sandals as well as some simple diamonds in her ears and on her wrist and Claire will have another winning look on her hands.

This is only the second time that I have featured Connie Britton on this site. It has only been recently that she has started garnering my attention with looks from Zac Posen, Reem Acra, and Black Halo. The star of 'Nashville' is nominated at the 2013 Emmy Awards for her work on the hit show for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and I am hoping that she really steps up on the red carpet and gives me a look to talk about. I think that this white and black Reem Acra Fall 2013 RTW floral print gown would be perfect for her for this occasion. I still can't believe that this gown hasn't been snatched up, especially on Oscar night, I was sure that some celeb would have grabbed it right off the runway. A blue clutch, black sandals, simple diamonds and a red lip would be how I finish this look off to give an attention grabbing Emmy's look.

'Mad Men' star Elisabeth Moss is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series yet again and I am hoping that she will take this opportunity to give us an amazing red carpet look which is something that we have not seen Lizzy give us in a while. I think that this navy blue Elie Saab Fall 2013 RTW gown would be a perfect but simple look with an embellished top. I think that when in doubt pick an Elie Saab creation is the way to go. There have not been a whole lot of looks in three years that I have loved from Elisabeth, the entire 'Mad Men' cast for that matter. Add a blue Edie Parker clutch, a pair of simple navy pumps, and a statement diamond cuff and Elisabeth will have a look that will look elegant and glamorous on the Emmy Awards red carpet.

Kerry Washington is one of the few that could bring the high fashion factor to the red carpet at the 2013 Emmy Awards and I am hoping that she really does. Having been snubbed for her role as Olivia Pope in the hit NBC television show 'Scandal' at the 2012 Emmy Awards, Kerry is nominated this year for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for the show this year. I am really looking forward to seeing what she will break out for the occasion. I think that this grey Valentino Fall 2013 Couture ankle length gown with black embroidery in the shape of coral. I am hoping to see her really rock this gown as it is something that I could totally see her rocking this for this event. I would finish this look off with a black Edie Parker clutch, a pair of deep berry satin pumps, and some stunning Chopard dazzlers would complete this amazing red carpet ensemble.

Michelle Dockery has been on and off this year with her red carpet choices. I loved her Alexandre Vauthier gown at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards and her Elie Saab gown at the 2013 White House Corespondents Dinner but I was really disappointed with her Louis Vuitton gown at the 2012 Emmy Awards and her Chado Ralph Rucci gown at the 2013 SAG Awards. I am hoping that Lady Mary from the PBS show 'Downton Abby' will wow on the red carpet next month when she takes to the red carpet for the 2013 Emmy Awards where she has garnered a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. I think that this pink Donna Karan Resort 2014 gown would be the perfect choice for her. When a star steps out in a Donna Karan gown on the red carpet they usually just ooze glamour and sophistication which is the formula that Michelle needs to stick to on the red carpet. A gold Kotur clutch and a pair of gold strappy sandals would complete this amazing look for the 2013 Emmy Awards red carpet.

Back before her divorce from Sean Penn, Robin Wright had moments where I loved her look and moments where I hated it. Since then she really hasn't given me anything to get really excited over or to loathe so I am hoping that the actress, who is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for the Netflix original series 'House of Cards.' I am hoping that she is just saving all her best looks for the Emmy Awards and Awards Season in the spring. For the 2013 Emmy Awards I would love to see her wear this simple white Jason Wu Resort 2014 draped goddess gown. A blue Kotur snakeskin minaudiere, a pair of silver sandals, a statement diamond cuff, and a pair of diamond and sapphire earrings would be exactly what I would do to add a little spice to this glamorous ensemble for Robin for the 2013 Emmy Awards.

Back in 2010 Vera Farmiga worked the awards season circuit nominated for her work in 'Up in the Air' and in most cases looked beautiful. Lately I have really been questioning her choices, well actually ever since she went blonde I have not been a fan of hers on the red carpet. I am hoping that wearing a tried and true formula will help me grow to like her look at the 2013 Emmy Awards. L'Wren Scott is a Hollywood favorite among the likes of Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tina Fey, Amy Adams, among MANY others and I am hoping to add Vera to that list this year. This black and gold art deco L'Wren Scott Fall 2013 RTW strapless gown would look absolutely amazing on Vera for this years Emmy Awards where she is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her A&E series 'Bates Motel.' Keep the styling simple with black pumps and a black and gold Jimmy Choo 'Tube' clutch and minimal jewelry and I could potentially love her look at the 2013 Emmy Awards, but we will just have to wait and see.

2013 Critics Choice Television Awards Wish List Part 1

 Next Monday, July 10, 2013, the Broadcast Television Critics Association will honor TV's best at the 3rd Annual Critics Choice Television Awards. Claire Danes is nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her hit Showtime series 'Homeland.' For this awards show I would like to see Mrs Danes redeem herself after a few lackluster red carpet appearances. I think she can do so by donning this amazing electric blue J. Mendel Fall 2013 RTW asymmetrical gown. I think that Claire is among the small crop of celebrities that could pull this gown off. Complete this look with a pair of two stone drop Diamond earrings, a silver Ferragamo minaudiere, and Jimmy Choo silver 'Cosmic' sandals.

 Elisabeth Moss is also nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series but for her AMC hit show, 'Mad Men.' I used to love Elisabeth Moss on the red carpet but in the past two years she has really gone off the deep end usually choosing hideous worst dressed worthy ensembles. One color I loved to see on Elisabeth was an emerald green and this is not a color that she often goes to anymore. Well I am wishing that she returns to the color by wearing this ZAC Zac Posen Fall 2013 RTW draped gown. I think that this gown would look absolutely fabulous wearing this stunning gown. Add a gold minaudiere, a pair of gold strappy sandals, and a gold cuff will complete this amazing ensemble.

I had already picked a gown for Emilia Clarke to wear for this event but unfortunately Nicole Kidman snatched up the other Chanel Resort 2014 white gown on the red carpet. Oh well as they say C'est la Vie. Emilia is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama for her role in the HBO series 'Game of Thrones.' This black and white gown, that I had also wanted to see worn by Diane Kruger, would look stunning on Emilia. Since the dawn of the new year Emilia has been experimenting wearing different designers since she had almost exclusively worn Chanel designs on the red carpet. Although I appreciate that she has started growing her wardrobe I would love to see Emilia go back home to Uncle Karl for her red carpet appearance for her big name events. To add the finishing touches for this amazing gowns I would add a pair of black Christian Louboutin crystal encrusted sandals, a black and silver Chanel minaudiere, a pair of Chanel Fine Jewelry rose earrings, and a Chanel Fine Jewelry cuff.
