2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish Lists Part 8

Continuing on with my week of Oscar parties wishes today kicking off with Dita Von Teese. I am always interested to see what the stunning burlesque queen will wear on the red carpet. I am hoping that Dita will make an appearance at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party wearing this amazing black Ulyana Sergeenko Fall 2015 Couture cocktail dress. This cocktail dress would make for an amazing red carpet moment on Dita with her stunning vintage beauty. I can picture Dita working the red carpet with her vintage inspired curls, signature red lip, the runways black fur pom-pom Christian Louboutin pumps, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings would ensure that this is an amazing r ed carpet moment for Dita.
I am really hoping that Gwen Stefani is going to make an appearance on Oscar night. Years ago Gwen made it through many red carpet moments on Oscar night wearing some of the best designers like Chanel Couture and Vera Wang. For this year's Vanity Fair Oscar Party I would love to see Gwen wearing this amazing fuchsia ombre Marchesa Spring 2016 RTW gown features a bird and botanical threadwork embroidered bodice with a tea length satin faced organza tiered skirt. When Gwen goes avant garde glamour on the red carpet I always fall head over heels in love with her look. I would finish this look off with a pair of black peep toe pumps, a black clutch, chic updo, red lip, and diamond cluster earrings to ensure that Gwen has an amazing red carpet moment.
I am betting that Oscar night is going to be a big night for Lady Gaga. Gaga is nominated for Best Original Song and I am really hoping that she takes the prize home. After the big ceremony, where she will also perform that nominated song, I would love to see Gaga change into this amazing Stephane Rolland Spring 2016 Couture jumpsuit which features an amazing crystal neckline and a dramatic train. This type of look takes a certain personality to pull off and Gaga definitely has the presence to make this look work on the red carpet. I would finish this look off for Gaga with a pair of diamond cluster earrings, silver crystal Christian Louboutin 'Daffodile' platform pumps, old Hollywood waves, red lip, and a lined eye to just top off what I am hoping will be another perfect red carpet moment for Gaga on Oscar night.
Naomie Harris has been on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party the past two years and I am hoping that she will be back on the Hollywood red carpet next Sunday night. I would love to see Naomi wearing this amazing Balmain Pre-Fall 2016 navy velvet gown with lace cut-out details. This look is a perfect red carpet moment waiting to happen. Like I said in a recent post, this Balmain collection has been my favorite from the brand in a very long time and I bet that we will see at least one look from the collection on the red carpet on Oscar night. Style this look with a navy Edie Parker clutch, navy peep toe pumps, old Hollywood waves, and a red lip would ensure that Naomie slays the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
While she might be over in Europe on the fashion show circuit but I would love to see Olivia Palermo out in full force on the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet. The fashionista knows how to work some amazing avant garde lady like looks on the red carpet. I would love to see Olivia wearing this yellow Sachin + Babi Pre-Fall 2016 high low bow accented floral embroidered gown on this red carpet. As the queen of red carpet accessorizing and I could picture Olivia pairing this gown with a yellow feathered clutch & gold sandals to just take this look over the top for an Oscar night red carpet.

#Cannes2015: amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala Red Carpet Wish List Part 1

One of the highlights of the Cannes Film Festival is definitely the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala. This years benefit will take place next Thursday evening and one of the nights hostesses is L'Oreal brand ambassador Aishwarya Rai. Much like Sonam Kapoor, Aishwarya usually wears one traditional sari during the course of the festival, the gold Tarun Tahiliani sari almost made my Best Dressed of the Year list in 2013. Since I picked couture gowns fro Aishwarya to wear on the red carpets at the premieres I decided to pick a sari for her to wear for amfAR. I personally love this simple black Surendri bu Yogesh Chaudhary Spring 2015 silk sari wil gold embroidery along hems. The simplistic sense of this ensemble makes it extremely elegant and perfect for the amfAR red carpet. Finished with Chopard earrings, a pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals, a red lip, and an elegant up do this look would make waves during Cannes.
Charlize Theron is not confirmed to attend the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala, but as an avid supporter of AIDS Charities. With "Mad Max: Fury Road," Charlize's latest flick, premiering days before the amfAR Gala I would love to see Charlize take to the red carpet. I am kinda in love with the idea of Charlize ditching her Dior duties in favor of this black Marchesa Fall 2015 RTW silk crepe column gown which features a fold over neckline that plunges in the back, an asymmetrical detailed skirt and gold metallic threadwork embroidery.I think that this gown would look chic on Charlize and give an impact making look despite being an almost all black gown. Finish the look with a red lip, black Dior sandals, and a gold Dior clutch to ensure that Charlize is the epitome of glamour.
Diane Kruger, like Aishwarya Rai, is going to be one of the hostesses of the 2015 amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala. I love to see Diane on the red carpet and she always brings even more during Cannes. For amfAR I would love to see Diane wear this Chanel Cruise 2016 sequined candy striped strapless midi gown with electric blue chiffon overlay. Diane immediately sprang to mind the moment that I saw this dress and I am praying that she gets her hands on it. With a gold clutch and gold sandals Diane would have a perfect look for the gala which takes place ocean side.
Dita von Teese almost always makes an appearance at the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala during  the Cannes Film Festival. Dita sat front row at the Ralph & Russo Spring 2015 Couture presentation back in January and I am anxiously awaiting which look from the collection Dita will wear on the red carpet. I would pick this floral embellished Ralph & Russo Spring 2015 Couture caped a-line cocktail dress for Dita to wear on the amfAR red carpet. This gown would fit right in with Dita's classic beauty MO on the red carpet. Finished with a pair of gold Christian Louboutin pumps and her signature beauty look Dita would evoke a lighter side of classic glamour on the red carpet during the amfAR Gala next Thursday.

#Cannes2015: Everyone Else Wish List

Dita von Teese loves Cannes, and the festival red carpet usually looks really good on the burlesque beauty. Usually around for the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala, Dita usually takes in at least one screening (most likely something from the Cannes Classics line up.) If Dita is going to take to the red carpet during Cannes I would love to see her look to the Ralph & Russo Fall 2015 Couture collection for her ensemble. This black and white cocktail ensemble with its voluminous skirt might be considered too short for the Cannes Film Festival rules of dressing but I think that the look actually fulfills the go big or go home mentality. The off the shoulder look is an over the top version of a 1950's couture ensemble and I think that Dita would slay that Cannes red carpet in this gown. Her go to beauty routine of black lacquered waves and red lip, finished with Chopard diamond chandelier earrings, a black Christian Louboutin clutch, and a pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals would complete this perfect red carpet ensemble for Dita.
Last year Eva Herzigova wore a Dolce & Gabbana cocktail dress on the red carpet for the Cannes Film Festival premiere of "Two Days, One Night." Not one to defy the Cannes dress code I would love to see the Czech model and actress give a take on the menswear trend and work this black and ivory Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2015 Couture tuxedo. This might be a menswear inspired look but this look is all feminine, from the ivory silk pants to the floral embellishments on the lapel. I go back on forth, since Eva would most likely be a guest of Chopard, on whether or not I would pair this look with a statement necklace or a pair of statement earrings. With her shorter hair I would probably pick a statement necklace to go with this look. Finished with a pair of black sandals and a red lip then Eva would have a Femme Fatale look perfect for a Cannes Film Festival premiere.
Heidi Klum is a consistent face during the Cannes Film Festival, there are two traditions when it comes to designers that Heidi wears on the Cannes red carpet. One is Marchesa (which will come later when I do my amfAR wishes) and the other is Atelier Versace. Now Heidi wore the Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture collection for the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party, and it was basically a disaster. I am praying that Heidi will have a glamorous moment on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. So I picked this silver Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture Swarovski crystal embellished gown, but it would need a few things to be red carpet ready for Heidi. The whole gown needs to lined, in what I would suggest be a silver silk, so that Heidi doesn't fall into tacky territory. Chic old Hollywood waves, a simple pair of diamond earrings, a pair of silver sandals, and a pink lip would ensure that Heidi has a winning red carpet ensemble on her hands.
Spanish supermodel Nieves Alvarez also usually runs to Cannes for at least one premiere. I am predicting that Nieves will do so yet again this year. If she does than we will most likely see her in one of two brand: Ralph & Russo Couture or Stephane Rolland Couture. I have decided to go with the latter. I am absolutely in love with this white Stephane Rolland Spring 2015 Couture long sleeved gown with a leather scale like bodice, illusion paneling, and white silk crepe mermaid skirt. I think that this gown is just begging for a strong woman who would evoke this gowns warrior spirit that this gown gives off. Finish the look strong with a wavy bob, emerald earrings, a red lip, a white Edie Parker, and a pair of silver sandals. Should Nieves do all that I can see her taking a spot on my Best Dressed of the Year list three years in a row.
I can't remember the last time that Paz Vega hasn't been on the red carpet during the Cannes Film Festival, and I am hoping that this year would be no different. I simply adore seeing the Spanish actress take to the red carpet. For a Cannes premiere I would love to see Paz wear this Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture sheer black floral embellished long sleeved ballgown on the red carpet. While I am used to seeing Paz kill the red carpet in varying bold designs by Ralph & Russo and Stephane Rolland I think that this simple ball gown would be enhanced her pixie style. A pair of bold sapphire and diamond cluster earrings, a pair of black sandals, and a red lip would make this a magical red carpet moment for Paz during the Cannes Film Festival.

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.

Best Dressed of January 2015

I have decided to let all of my followers in on my secret to coming up with my Best Dressed of the Year list. What I do to sift through all those amazing looks that take to the red carpet over the year is pick 10 looks each month, also all the event Top 10's, and file them away in a best dressed folder. 2015 has been off to an amazing start and I am only holding out hope for even more amazing looks from here on out. When doing these lists I take out all the looks that I loved from events like the Golden Globe and SAG Awards so that other looks have a fighting chance. Burlesque queen Dita Von Teese gave me my favorite look from January wearing a bold purple Alexis Mabille Spring 2015 Couture one shoulder corseted gown for the Sidiaction Gala in Paris. Dita pulled this gown right off the runway and just oozed glamour as she posed for the photographers. Pairing her look with her signature vintage hair style, red lip, and the runways Alexis Mabille feather clutch.
Up next we have Kate Hudson at the Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Presentation wearing a modified Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture cocktail dress. Kate Hudson wears Versace like no other woman EVER. Kate always oozes relaxed sexual glamour when wearing any Versace ensemble and this is the epitome of that ideal. Letting her blonde locks fall naturally and pairing the look with a pair of nude Christian Louboutin pointed toe pumps just made this the perfect front row ensemble. Paz Vega took to the red carpet at the Art of Elysium HEAVEN Gala, the night before the Golden Globe Awards, and really wowed me wearing a Carolina Herrera Spring 2015 RTW cap sleeve gown that features a bold floral and spectrum print on the skirt. I did not think that we would see this gown on the red carpet, so to see it on Paz and her making it look so effortless just fits her on this list in the 3rd position. Last year the only person to give Taylor Swift a run for her money on the sidewalk runway was Reese Witherspoon. Here we see Reese running errands wearing a Carolina Herrera bird printed dress which she paired with a handbag from The Row and a pair of Saint Laurent pumps. This look is chic and breezy, a look that will have many longing for spring amongst the bitter cold most are in right now.
Nicole Kidman is either love or loathe for me when she steps out on the red carpet. I was firmly on the love side when Nicole stepped out for the "Paddington" premiere in New York wearing an Elie Saab Pre-Fall 2015 tuxedo. This look just oozed glamour and Nicole made it look effortless. Stana Katic really brought the WOW factor to the red carpet at the Peoples Choice Awards to start January off on a major note wearing Carolina Herrera Resort 2015 strapless daisy embroidered ball gown. When so many wear casual and cocktail dresses many will say that Stana was overdressed, and I am included to agree, but when she looks as beautiful as she does then who cares? When Keira Knightley stepped out at the Critics Choice Movie Awards, wearing Delpozo Fall 2014 RTW, I let out a sigh of relief. Keira has not had a very good 2015, which is really disappointing after her amazing run last year. Keira wants to conceal her baby bump, and I can understand that, and this Delpozo has been the best drapery for that bump all year. She looked like a goddess.
After a VERY disappointing 2015, Jennifer Lawrence gave me an amazing look at the Producers Guild Awards wearing a custom Prada gown. This look polarized critics as many did not like the crystal patch on JLaw's stomach. I loved everything about this look. It was elegant, soft, and sweet. All things that I don't necessarily think of when I think of JLaw on the red carpets. Another look from the Art of Elysium's HEAVEN Gala on the list comes from Jena Malone, Lawrences "Mockingjay" costar, wearing a look from Adam Selman's Spring 2015 RTW collection. I have to say that I skipped right over this gown when I scrolled through the pictures of this collection when it was presented last September. Jena breathed life into this pearl accented a-line cap sleeve gown. Her sleek red locks made this look with a real stunner on the red carpet. Finally I have Emily Blunt wearing a custom David Koma cocktail ensemble at the "Into The Woods" London premiere. This cocktail dress is different in its cut and the ombre crystals just added to the look. Natural hair and makeup and simple cream sandals finished off a look that was all about a statement making dress.

Runway Report: Alexis Mabille Fall 2014 Couture

 Alexis Mabille is always a light spot on the day. You know exactly what you are going to get when you see his collection. Classic glamour. This season was no different. Luxurious gowns, a couple structured cocktail dresses, and perfectly tailored separates made this the ultimate collection. But to be honest all of the staples of a great wardrobe were addressed in this collection and it would be the ultimate couture closet.

2014 Met Ball: Amy Adams, Blake Lively, Cate Blanchett, & Dita von Teese Wish List

Amy Adams is one of my favorite ladies to see take to the red carpet, and this year Amy has given us a wide range of fabulous designs on the red carpet experimenting with brand new looks. I am expecting that Amy will give us a major red carpet at the 2014 Met Ball. A purple Carolina Herrera Fall 2014 RTW draped gown would be the perfect option for Amy to give an elegant yet bold look on the red carpet. To bring out the blue embellishments on the skirt I would pair this look with a blue Edie Parker clutch, and a pair of dyed to match purple Charlotte Olympia pumps and a very elegant up-do will complete this look for this red carpet.
Blake Lively has been bringing her best back to the red carpet this year. After being off her game for most of last year, Blake has finally mastered a good way of being sexy whilst being grown up. I am excited to see what all 2014 will bring for Blake as she and hubby Ryan Reynolds are booked to walk the red carpets of the Cannes Film Festival next month (wish list for those red carpets to come later this month.) As a constant guest of the Costume Institute Gala since the early years of 'Gossip Girl' Blake will most likely werk the red carpet this year as well. I think that this tangerine orange Marchesa Fall 2014 RTW gown which reminds me of an western take on the Indian sari would be something perfect for Blake to rock on this red carpet. The stunning beading and draping just make this gown into something that is absolutely beautiful. A gold Edie Parker clutch and a pair of custom made Christian Louboutin gold sandals will finish off this look, with some beautiful old Hollywood waves thrown over one shoulder.
Cate Blanchett wowed all awards season long giving one glamorous look after the next. She shocked most by not selecting a blue gown from the Armani Prive Spring 2014 RTW collection, but I feel like she didn't want the headlines pulling reference to the title of the film which gave her her win, 'Blue Jasmine.' If the stunning Australian actress takes to the red carpet at the Met Ball then I am praying she wears one of the blue gowns. I think that blue is a wonderful color on Cate and I would love to see her wear this amazing strapless lace gown. This is an elegant option even for an over the top event such as the Met. Diamond and sapphire Chopard earrings and some dyed to match Roger Vivier pumps will complete this amazing look for the Met Ball.
Last month burlesque queen Dita von Teese took a trip to the Zac Posen atelier in New York City and was fitted in several of the gowns from his Fall 2014 Ready-to-Wear collection. While she did wear a custom look for the launch of her lingerie collection at Bloomingdale s in Manhattan last month, I am still hoping that she will rock some Posen on the Costume Institute Gala early next month. Zac Posen has been regarded as the Charles James for this generation with a lot of the same styles and silhouettes, so I am excited to see all off the looks that he creates for this event as I am sure there will be a few. This ink blue Zac Posen Fall 2014 RTW gown with a cowel neck, cap sleeves, full skirt, and an open back would literally be a show stopping moment. I am figuring most of the show stopping moments will come from Zac Posen gowns. Matching Christian Louboutin heels, some stunning jewels, and her normal hair and makeup routine will finish off this stunning look.

Runway Report: Ralph & Russo Spring 2014 Couture

After an amazing year last year dressing stars like Beyonce, Angelina Jolie, Nieves Alvarez, Shay Mitchell, Carrie Underwood, Solange Knowles and Petra Nemcova the design team of Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo presented their first ever runway collection this week during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. The Ralph & Russo Spring 2014 Couture collection is really a HUGE amazing collection and there are definitely some red carpet ready looks, but the looks are not for those that are faint of heart. These looks can easily consume women who do not have the diva presence to wear them on the red carpet. The confident glamorous women that I can picture wearing the looks from this collection include Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, Nieves Alvarez, Dita von Teese, Beyonce, Eva Longoria, and Jane Fonda just to name a few. Bellow are my four favorite looks from the collection and who I can picture wearing them. What do you think of my picks? Is the collection too bold? Overwhelming? Or, like me, can you not wait to see this collection on the red carpet?

Runway Report: Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture

 This morning in Paris one of my favorite red carpet designers Elie Saab debuted his Spring 2014 Couture collection. The collection that is entitled 'The Promise of Spring' embodied an extremely glamorous woman who bloomed with the pastel colored florals of an English garden. With a color palette that consists of pale budding pinks, blue hydrangea, lilac, rose d'or, pure white, and some charcoal black the collection really embodied spring. I can see these gowns on the red carpets of the Academy Awards, Met Ball (as this years theme is Charles James: Beyond Fashion), and the Cannes Film Festival. A whole slew of actresses, singers, and red carpet elite come to mind as I see each look stride and float ever so elegantly down the runway. I can see Angelina Jolie, Keira Knightley, Kate Beckinsale, Diane Kruger, Lupita Nyong'o. Amy Adams, Berenice Bejo, Emilia Clarke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain, Kate Bosworth, Michelle Dockery, Sandra Bullock, Taylor Swift, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Hudson, Julia Roberts, Nieves Alvarez, Kerry Washington, Nina Dobrev, Reese Witherspoon, Emmy Rossum, and Celine Dion wearing among many others. Perched along the front row included Cannes Film Festival regulars Olga Kurylenko, Paz Vega, and Princess Clotilde Courau. I can see these women working the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals in Cannes in several of these gowns and only time will tell which ones make it. Bellow are my 4 favorite looks from the collection and my initial thoughts on who should wear them. What are yours?

Dita von Teese to wear the Resort 2014 Collections Wish List

Dita von Teese the Queen of Fetish and Burlesque dancing made a welcome red carpet return earlier this year. Dita has always been one of my favorite ladies to see grace the red carpets and is one of the few people who can pull off the complete pin-up ensemble. So this year instead of just doing a single '10 Best of the Resort 2014 Collections' post I am going to show four looks for a celebrity that makes a lot of red carpet appearances but does not get featured on here often. Up first we have the Carolina Herrera Resort 2014 collection with this amazing black gown with sheer sleeves with white beading. Dita would rock this look for any number of gala appearances that she makes.
When I saw this powder blue Marchesa Resort 2014 Grecian draped dress I thought of how light and airy it would look on Dita who normally wears very structured ensembles and this ethereal gown would be a welcome variation to her normal ensembles. The usual Marchesa Resort 2014 collection is just as large as any other runway collection but this year a modest 14 look garden inspired collection was presented and this powder blue gown will most likely be the most fought over look from the collection as it is a classic Marchesa style. Dita should finish this look with a silver Judith Leiber clutch, a pair of silver Christian Louboutin sandals, as well as sapphire and diamond jewelry and Dita will have the perfect look for a red carpet event.
Up next I have a stunning Mary Katrantzou Resort 2014 strapless cocktail dress. The funky London based designer released her very first Resort collection this year and there are definitely some major red carpet moments held within. This amazing window pane rose full skirted cocktail dress with this amazing dress has to be one of my favorite out of all the Resort collections as it is awesomely amazing and so stunning. This dress is very 50's in style and the print only adds to the amazingness of the ensemble. On Dita that this cocktail dress would just come to life with a pair of red Christian Louboutin pumps.
And last but not least is a stunning Zac Posen Resort 2014 floral patterned cocktail dress. This dress is totally 40's/50's influenced by the way of the 1980's. I think that this dress is actually very similar to the black velvet Ulyana Sergeenko Couture dress that Dita wore to the 2013 amFAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala during the Cannes Film Festival. I think that this dress would totally surpass the Ulyana dress solely based on the fact that it is not a standard black dress. Complete this ensemble for Dita with a pair of amazing crystal encrusted Christian Louboutin pumps and some amazing Chopard diamond jewelry and this will make international red carpet best dressed lists.

Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture Presentation Wish List

Carina Lau was in Cannes last month to promote her film 'Bends' and to do so she took some amazing Elie Saab couture creations for a spin. I can not recall Carina sitting front row at an Elie Saab show and having recently been taking the brand for a few red carpet test drives I would love to see her attend the Fall 2013 Couture presentation on July 3rd. This teal Elie Saab Fall 2013 RTW dress is perfect for Carina to wear to sit front row and hold court over all the stunning designs that I am sure will undoubtedly take to the runway during this show. Finish with a pair of lace Elie Saab Spring 2013 Couture pumps and Carina will look stunning on her first Elie Saab front row trip.
Queen of Burlesque Dita von Teese is a HUGE fan of Elie Saab and I am a huge fan of Dita in Elie Saab so after making a grand red carpet return during the Cannes Film Festival wearing an Elie Saab Couture cocktail dress. I am hoping that she will make a trip to Paris next week to take in the spectacle that will without a doubt be full of glamorous red carpet ready gowns and cocktail ensembles. For Dita to sit front row I would love to see her wear this black embellished Elie Saab Spring 2013 Couture cocktail dress. I do not think that Dita has ever met a black dress that she hasn't liked complete the look with a pair of go to Christian Louboutin pumps and her signature red lip and Dita will have a look that is perfect for front row at a couture fashion show.
The Queen of Elie Saab title, while with very high competition of Dita von Teese, definitely goes to Fan Bingbing who is a frequent at Elie Saab fashion shows sitting front row just looking for that next gown for her next red carpet appearance. For the Fall 2013 Couture presentation I would love to see Fan wear this amazing lemon yellow Elie Saab Fall 2013 RTW dress. I think that this dress would look amazing against Fan's fair colored skin. Complete with a gold clutch and a pair of nude pumps will make another great look for her and the brand.
Another lady who stunned at the Cannes Film Festival wearing not only one but two glam Elie Saab creations was Zhang Ziyi and I would love to see her attend the Fall 2013 Couture presentation to scope out potential future red carpet looks. To do so I would love to see her wear this amazing blue and white color blocked Elie Saab Pre-Fall 2013 cap sleeved a-line dress. Zhang is one of the few that come to mind when I see this dress and it would be a perfect look for her to snatch up to sit front row. Finish with a pair of black peep toe pumps and Zhang will stand out in a modern yet still elegant ensemble at the Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture presentation next week.
