2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish List Part 12

Heidi Klum is always at every red carpet so when I saw Heidi's name on the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party event co-chairs list I rolled my eyes a little. Heidi rarely gives me a look to love on the red carpet and I don't have very high expectations for her next Sunday night. I picked this white Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture gown for Heidi to wear, as the dress checks all her typical boxes. Sexy, fitted, and Versace. As long as Heidi doesn't show up in a feathered look that likens to a mawled old Muppet, I think that I will be okay with just writing her off.

At 16 Kiernan Shipka is already cemented as a fashion "IT" girl rocking couture and custom looks from some of the worlds most coveted and avant garde designers. I am wondering if Kiernan will be out on Oscar night, as I really hope she is, just to add a dose of avant garde glamour to the red carpet. One of Kiernan's favorite brands to wear on the red carpet is Delpozo, whom just presented their Fall 2016 RTW collection at New York Fashion Week, and I am hoping that Kiernan is the first to get her hands on a look from the collection. I picked this strapless cocktail ensemble which features a bold blue bustier and full embroidered skirt for Kiernan to wear on the Vanity Fair red carpet. Kiernan is one of the few that I can picture taking this dress and making it work on the red carpet. A bold blue clutch and gold sandals would be the perfect accessories for this red carpet ensemble.

Olivia Munn just hosted the Academy Scientific/Technical Awards and will be on hand at the main show to present a segment about those awards. I figure that Olivia will make her way from the Dolby theater to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party after the show has concluded. Next week you will see what fabulous Michael Kors ensemble that I would love to see Olivia wear on the main red carpet but for the after party I would love to see Olivia go for something really fun yet glamorous. I think that this gold sequined long sleeve Naeem Khan Fall 2016 RTW jumpsuit with a plunging neckline would be a very fun different look for Olivia to wear on the Vanity Fair red carpet. A lot of stars go as big as they would for the main show at Vanity Fair but I think that this jumpsuit is a more modern glam look, and something a little more relaxed after a major gown at the main show. A gold Rauwolf clutch, a pair of gold pumps, old Hollywood waves, yellow gold set diamond cluster earrings, and a red lip would give this look a disco glam vibe for the Vanity Fair red carpet.

With her film Mad Max: Fury Road being nominated for Best Picture we are sure to see Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on the red carpets of Oscar night, most likely at Vanity Fair. For her Oscar night ensemble I would love to see Rosie wearing this midnight blue and purple Armani Prive Fall 2015 Couture strapless sequined gown which I kind of equate with an oil slick. I think that this is a chic glam moment for Rosie and if anyone can turn a glam gown and give it a punch of sex appeal it would be the former Victoria's Secret angel. Hollywood red carpets tend to call for every glam looks and Rosie knows how to deliver on that front. A navy Edie Parker clutch, a pair of black sandals, glam waves, a red lip, and diamond drop earrings would finish this look off perfectly for Rosie.

Rounding out this post is CREED star Tessa Thompson who is now considered an "IT" girl thanks to her status as a muse for Rodarte. The stunning actress was perched front row at the Rodarte Fall 2016 RTW presentation, no doubt shopping for a red carpet look for Oscar night. I would love to see Tessa wearing this wine Rodarte Fall 2016 RTW lace floral embroidered gown. Not many would be able to make this look work on a red carpet but I believe that Tessa would be able to rock this look with ease. I would love to see Tessa style her hair into a bun of braids, a wine lip, and black sandals to give this look a modern "IT" girl red carpet moment.

Runway Report: Delpozo Fall 2016 RTW

For Fall 2016 Delpozo visionary Josep Font forges opposite forces of darkness and light, logic and passion, and the head and the heart. Font has been crafting amazing architectural looks since we first heard his name on the runways and this collection was no different. Font brought together the grandness of the Victorian era with the volume of the 1950s and packaged it all up in a modern take on these iconic fashion eras. There were so many exceptional looks in this collection but the piece I was immediately drawn to was a cocktail dress with an electric blue strapless bodice and a full black skirt with copper embroidery. This look is distinctly reminiscent of the 1950s and I can picture Reese Witherspoon taking this look and making it a major red carpet moment. Olivia Munn, Kiernan Shipka, Keira Knightley, Cate Blanchett, and Sarah Jessica Parker all immediately come to mind as people that could really make this collection come alive on the red carpet.

Make sure you check out all my favorite looks from the Fall 2016 RTW collections (and my immediate wishes) over on my Pinterest page.

Runway Report: Delpozo Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

I honestly don't know what to write about the Delpozo Spring 2016 RTW collection. Creative director Josep Font was inspired by Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca and muse to Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, Emilie Floge. Josep wanted to create a sense of high fashion meets folklore, and I think that he succeeded quite well. There was plenty of avant garde volume, much loved by celebrity fans like Kiernan Shipka and Hilary Swank. I pray that the likes of Julianne Moore, Elizabeth Banks, Jena Malone, Kiernan Shipka, Cate Blanchett, & Keira Knightley all get their hands on the looks from these collections. Maybe we'll get our first look at the collection on the red carpet on the back of Kiernan Shipka at the Emmys, I would die if she wore the blue, black, & white tea length gown.

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.

2015 Palm Springs Film Festival Black Tie Awards Gala

The unofficial kickoff of the 2015 Awards Season is the Palm Springs Film Festival Black Tie Awards Gala on January 3, 2015. Not actually honoring any of the films competing in the film festival the awards gala honors some of the best performances and films that came out of 2014. Julianne Moore, the Golden Globe and Oscar hopeful for "Still Alice," will receive the Desert Palm Achievement Award. Julianne always brings a WOW factor to the red carpet, usually choosing avant garde options for her appearances. I am choosing this Nina Ricci Spring 2015 RTW natural embroidered laser cut sleeveless beaded radzimir gown that features a high convex neckline, flat over-the-shoulder straps and a tonal sheer georgette draped skirt with a stepped hem. This is a wow moment and I think that the black would look anything but basic on Julianne. A pair of black sandals, an Edie Parker "Fiona" faceted clutch in emerald with black details, a pair of emerald cluster Bulgari earrings would be the perfect accessories for this ensemble. Finished off with Julianne's sleek red locks in a high pony tail and a red lip will finish off this look perfectly for the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala.

Keira Knightley has been rocking the red carpet hiding her baby bump the past few months. With the cast of her film "The Imitation Game" receiving the Ensemble Performance Award, it will be interesting to see what Keira will show up on the red carpet wearing.  I think that Keira will continue to conceal her burgeoning bump until at least the Golden Globe Awards the following weekend. I would love to see Keira wear this stunning Delpozo Spring 2015 RTW pale pink silk twill tea length cocktail dress that features a high round neck, exaggerated rosettes with sequin embellishments at the bodice, and a sheer tonal tea-length skirt. The pale pink color is one that Keira always looks so elegant and ethereal wearing and this ethereal avant garde design is perfect for this occasion. Finish the look with a pair of gold sandals a simple updo and a pink lip and Keira will have a perfect red carpet ensemble on her hands for the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala.

Reese Witherspoon's campaign for an Academy Award begins January 3, 2015 at the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala, where the stunning blonde is going to be honored with the Chairman's Award for her film "Wild." Reese does classic elegance with a hint of modern woman like no other. As one of the few that I think would bust out some couture for this event I would love to see Reese wear this ruby red Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture strapless embellished silk flared cocktail dress for the event. This dress is classic and elegant with a hint of sultry which just makes for a perfect combination for the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala. A pair of dyed to match Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals and a simple pair of diamond and ruby cluster earrings would be the perfect accessories to add, along with a red lip, to complete this ensemble.

The Palm Springs Film Festival Black Tie Awards Gala will most likely be the first time that we will see Rosamund Pike on the red carpet after the birth of her baby boy earlier this month. The British star will have had a month to get herself red carpet ready in time to receive the Breakthrough Performance Award at the awards gala. I picked this ivory J. Mendel Spring 2015 organza jacquard v-neck gown because of the cross-draped silk chiffon bodice with butterfly sleeves as if she is not ready to completely showcase her body in a form fitting dress this can hide some of her possible problem areas. An ivory Edie Parker clutch and a pair of gold sandals will ensure that all eyes are on Rosamund who will no doubt have that new mommy glow about her already.
