2015 London Film Festival: "Trumbo" Premiere Wish List

Elle Fanning actually wowed me on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival and I am hoping that her wonderful red carpet mojo will travel across the pond for the 2015 London Film Festival and the premiere of "Trumbo." I picked this beautiful gold Elie Saab Fall 2015 Couture princess ball gown with its intricate embroidery for her to wear for her big night. This beautiful gown deserves a red carpet moment and I believe that Elle is absolutely the perfect person to give this gown its outing. Finish this look with a top bun, dewy make-up, and gold sandals and Elle will have another amazing red carpet look on her hands.

I figure it will be a custom Dolce & Gabbana or Badgley Mischka gown on the London Film Festival red carpet premiere of "Trumbo" for Helen Mirren. As much as I love those brands and Helen I lust for something more from the 70 year old actress. I picked this Jacques Azagury Fall 2015 Couture silk brocade cap sleeve structured gown for her to wear. This is a gown suitable for a red carpet queen, which is exactly what Helen is. I believe that this gown paired with a red lip, navy Ferragamo pumps, diamond & sapphire cluster earrings, and a blue silk clutch would be a beautiful welcome moment for Helen on this red carpet.

#TIFF2015: "Trumbo" & "The Lobster" Premieres Wish List

Hi everyone! I am sorry yet again for neglecting the site. I have a bunch of stuff in drafts that is ready to be written but with my move of homes and then my move back to and starting my senior semester of college I have just been so busy that I haven't really had a chance to do any writing. I will keep on top of things for the rest of the year from here on out. Lots of big things coming up in the next few weeks and I am excited to be able to share my thoughts on them with you. The Toronto International Film Festival is one of these events and I am excited to see Elle Fanning is on the excepted stars to appear list for her film "Trumbo." Elle's style has been slowly growing on me, although she is still hit or miss I find myself liking more and more of her choices as she grows up. For this premiere I would love to see Elle wear this sweet Giambattista Valli Fall 2015 RTW floral organza ruffled cocktail dress which features a sheath silhouette with a ruffled mock neck, a floral lace appliqued bib, & flared cuffs. I think this 60s mod style dress is perfect for a 17 year old actress. Finished with a pair of pink pumps & pulled back hair this could be a hit for Elle's red carpet portfolio.

At 70 Helen Mirren still knows how to bring the sexy to the red carpet in a chic and sophisticated way. I am looking forward to seeing what her offerings at the Toronto International Film Festival will be. I picked this indigo Cushnie et Ochs Resort 2016 long sleeve fit and flare dress with a rounded neckline and ankle length hemline. I think that despite being so covered that this dress just exudes sophisticated sex appeal and Helen would make this look just as sultry as the model. A pair of black peep or pointed toe pumps and a pair of diamond cluster earring would ensure that Helen delivers on the "Trumbo" premiere red carpet.

Lea Seydoux is going to be a very busy woman on the promotional tours this fall. "The Lobster," which first premiered at Cannes in May, and "Spectre" are both going to have a lot of stops for the French actress. If anyone can handle the pressure of delivering good look after good look it is definitely going to be Lea. Mostly loyal to Prada and Miu Miu, I am hoping that Lea will step out in other designers as well. Recently if Lea hasn't worn Prada/Miu Miu she has been spotted out in Elie Saab. I am hoping that Lea chooses this tea length Elie Saab Fall 2015 Couture embroidered and embellished sleeveless gown for the TIFF premiere of "The Lobster." I think that this elegant offering would look so chic on the French actress who has the grace and elegance to make this look 5x more chic that it was on the runway. A pair of gold Prada sandals and a pink lip would finish this sweet look off perfectly for Lea, who has the potential to win Best Promo Tour, Red Carpet Diva, & Best Brand Ambassador come the End of the Year Style Awards in December.

Rachel Weisz is another that is either hit or miss for me on the red carpet. Her photocall looks at Cannes were amazing but the looks that she picked for the red carpets were just a little lackluster. I would love to see Rachel wearing this dusty rose Balenciaga Resort 2016 strapless midi cocktail dress with flocked detail on the bodice. This simple silhouette is perfect for a red carpet look for Rachel as she is one who doesn't like a fussy red carpet ensemble. Finished with a pair of simple silver sandals, a pair of cluster diamond earrings and a chic updo and Rachel will slay the TIFF red carpet. 

Be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook during the 2015 Venice Film Festival, which runs from September 2 to September 12, to keep on top of all the looks that come down the red carpet.

"Maleficent" LA Premiere Wish List

As you read this post the stars of Disney's live-action film 'Maleficent' will be in their homes and hotel rooms in LA starting the glaming process to get ready for the films big LA premiere tonight at the famed El Capitan theater. Angelina Jolie plays Maleficent in the film and I am so super excited to see what she will rock for the premiere tonight. Angelina is one of the few that can take my breath away wearing a black gown, like she did at the films gala benefit dinner in London wearing a stunning custom Atelier Versace gown. With that in mind I would DIE if Mrs Jolie wore this black Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture gown. This gown with its portrait neckline, long sleeves, side swept train, and sheer details is a very grandiose gown for a Disney film premiere but I believe that it is fitting of the regal woman that Angelina plays. A sleek updo, a bold red lip, a pair of black sandals, and a stunning pair of diamond cluster earrings would ensure that Angie would rock the fuck out of the red carpet tonight.

Elle Fanning has never been someone that I look forward to seeing on the red carpet, as she is usually a disaster, but as of late she seems to be improving. I think that this purple Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2014 RTW chiffon floral gown would be perfect. In comparison to the gown I picked for Angelina this gown is much more the speed of a Disney premiere but I am also taking a guess that Elle will wear a custom Valentino or Rodarte gown for this premiere as well. I do hope she opts for a gown of color, no black or nude, so that she can stand in contrast to Angelina who will no doubt be wearing black. A pair of gold sandals and a quirky top knot would complete this fun youthful ensemble for the red carpet tonight at the El Capitan theater.

2013 End of the Year Style Awards: Top 10 Looks I Didn't Like

2013 Critics Choice Awards Wish List Part 1

The Critics Choice Awards is the first major red carpet awards ceremony of the 2013 Awards Season. Coinciding with the announcement of the 2013 Academy Award Nominations on January 10th I am looking forward to seeing all the stars step out in their red carpet glam for the award show. Amanda Seyfried is not directly nominated for an award but her film 'Les Miserables' is nominated for Best Acting Ensemble and Best Picture. Amanda could end up attending the event as just a guest or a presenter. I wold love to see her wear this black Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2013 gown. I think that this gown is extremely elegant and show stopping without the power to upstage her nominated co-stars as well as the other nominees. Pair this gown with a gold and black Alexander McQueen clutch, a gold cuff, and some black and gold pumps and she is set to wow on the red carpet.

Anne Hathaway has been wowing me on the red carpet since she has cut off all of her hair. The edgy pixie cut that she did for her role as Fantine in 'Les Miserables' has given Anne a whole new look on the red carpet wearing edgy looks that she never would have looked at in the past. I would love to see Anne wear this amazing teal J. Mendel Spring 2013 RTW gown for the 2013 Critics Choice Awards. Anne is nomnated for Best Supporting Actress for 'Les Miserables' and has a running chance at winning the award. I would love to see her walk home with the Critcs Choice Award and a Best Dressed Award. Pair tis gown with a silver box clutch, some silver or teal strappy sandals, and some amazing Chopard diamonds and she is set to stun whether she takes home the trophy or not.

Also nominated for Best Supporting Actress with Anne Hathaway, is Amy Adams for her film 'The Master.' I would love to see Amy wow me, but she is either a huge hit or she is a big flop for me on the red carpet there is rarely an in between with Amy. For this event I have chosen this 1920's inspired gown from one of Amy's go to designers L'Wren Scott's Spring 2013 RTW collection. I have to say that L'Wren Scott designs have almost become stale on the red carpet because of people like Nicole Kidman who wear every look in the collection and they all have the same design ascetic. This is one of the few that I am in love with. Amy would pair this gown with a black clutch and some black Brian Atwood 'Wagner' pumps.

Elle Fanning is not one of my favorites on the red carpet. Since her debut on the red carpet in 2010 I have not been in love with one of her looks. This is because she tends to wear things that are either down right ugly or they wash her out. I had a hard time trying to pick a gown for Elle, but I ultimately decided upon this Valentino Spring 2013 RTW gown. Elle wears these 1970's style gowns often and the style can usually work but the styling usually doesn't. First of all I would love to see Elle dye her hair back to the red color she was sporting last summer as it helps not wash her out. Then the styling would be a bold purple clutch, and some black strappy sandals. If she takes my advice she very well may end up hearing high praises from me as she walks the red carpet at this event.

2012 London FIlm Festival: 'Ginger and Rosa' Competition Premiere

Elle Fanning is one of the rising stars on the red carpet who already has the keys to the Valentino Couture closet and has been the star of both Marc by Marc Jacobs and Rodarte's AD campaign. Well I would love to see her wear this green strapless cocktail dress from the Rodarte Spring 2013 RTW collection. I am kinda in love with all the potential in this dress had to look amazing on the red carpet. Some of you are probably wondering why I said strapless green dress when you seen blue and grey long sleeves on the runway and that is because they paired the dress with the contrasting shirt underneath. I would obviously tell her to wear just the strapless dress. Pair this with a cute gold Edie Parker clutch and a pair of the Miu Miu gold glitter mary jane pumps to complete the youthful red carpet look.

While being incredibly boring Christina Hendricks looked amazingly elegant at the 'Ginger and Rosa' premiere during the Toronto Film Festival and then looked a crazy mess at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards last weekend. Well for the London Film Festival, I am excited to see what the 'Mad Men' star has in store for us because she is actually putting forth a great effort into looking amazing. I would love to see her wear this Christian Siriano Spring 2013 RTW kimono style dress in a deep cerulean blue. It is not often that I change up what the dress on the runway looks like in comparison to what I wish for but knowing that Christian and Christina have a past relationship of changing up runway gowns together then I stand firm because the white would just was her out. Pair the look with a small Jimmy Choo tube clutch in pewter silver and a pair of silver peep toe pumps to match and there is a recipe for a look that I am bound to fall in love with.

2012 New York Film Festival: 'Ginger and Rosa' Premiere Wish List

Elle Fanning is someone who I cant decide if I love or loathe when she steps out on a red carpet, there have been a few times when she has come out and wowed me but that moment is very few and far between. For the New York Film Festival premiere of her new film 'Ginger and Rosa' I would love to see Elle dig into the Valentino Spring 2012 Couture runway closet and pull out this white cocktail dress with billowing sleeves and a high sheer neck. Elle can pull off these vintage and antique inspired ensembles. I wish that Elle would stray away from the 70s style platform shoes cuz honestly they were not cute then and they are not cute now. A pair of silver Jimmy Choo low heels would be perfect for this ensemble.

Christina Hendricks is really going to have to step up her game if she is going to be the other half of the promo tour for this film because with a heavy hitter like Elle Fanning in the picture no one will even care that she is there if she continues to wear boring black ensembles that are unflattering and just flat out ugly. For the New York Film Festival Premiere of this film I would love to see her wear this cobalt blue Tadashi Shoji Holiday 2012 gown. Now this gown has a bunch of things that will help her look elegant and curvacious and not frumpy and fat. The first thing is the off the shoulder sweetheart neckline of this gown will highlight her amazing bosom without putting all the girls on display. The second thing, which Tadashi Shoji gowns are critically acclaimed and red carpet certified, is the ruching that is extremely slimming, which makes these gowns extremely popular amongst larger stars like Octavia Spencer, Sara Ramirez, and Mo.Nique. Pair this with a pair of silver strappy sandals and a silver embellished clutch and she might have a hit on her hands right here.

2012 Toronto Film Festival: Premiere Wish List Part 2

Chinese Actress Zhang Ziyi of 'Memoirs of a Geisha' and 'Rush Hour 2' fame to those in the USA will be screening her latest film 'Dangerous Liaison' based on the 1782 novel of the same name by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. When Zhang was nominated for a Golden Globe she wore Armani Prive and then for the SAG Awards she wore Giorgio Armani and then for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party wore a stunning Valentino Couture gown. In Toronto you can get away with a stunning cocktail look or a simple gown and I have obviously opted for the later. Well for this year at the Toronto Film Festival I would love to see Zhang wear this stunning fully beaded Ralph Lauren Fall 2012 RTW spaghetti strap gown sans the runway jacket of course. Zhang first wore Ralph Lauren to the Ralph Lauren Vintage Cars Exhibition Launch Gala Dinner and then again for the premiere of her film 'The Devil Inside Me' in Shanghai so I think that this gold gown would be the perfect choice for the star. A gold Edie Parker clutch and some gold strappy sandals would be all needed to complete this stunning look.

Anna Kendrick continues to be one that I can not decide if I like or dislike on the red carpet wearing some things that are uber fabulous like Elie Saab Haute Couture but then she gives the rather cheap looking ensembles for other events. I know that she can not live in couture but others do dressed down rather well. For the 2012 Tornonto Film Festival I want Anna to wear this dusty raspberry Georges Hobeika Fall 2012 Couture cocktail dress. Anna always looks amazing on the red carpet when she is dressed in custom or couture so here she goes. The color would look amazing with her skin and hair tones. I would keep the look simple with a pair of Jimmy Choo strappy sandals and NOT, the much loved by Anna, Brian Atwood 'Manic' pumps in nude and that's it to keep the look simple.

Like Anna, Cody Horn will be in Toronto to promote 'End of Watch' with their costars Jake Gyllenhaal and Michel Pena. At the 'Magic Mike' LA premiere Cody donned a mix of three Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012 Couture items to create her look and then continued down the sexy route at the ESPY Awards wearing Cushine et Ochs and I would like to see a softer side of her for this event. It is because of this that I have picked this light and airy bubble gum pink Jean Paul Gaultier Resort 2012 chiffon dress with a structured cap sleeve. I think that this is sweet but with an edge coming through those strong shoulders. Add a silver clutch and a silver pair strappy sandals to complete the look.

We really haven't seen much of Annette Bening since she was nominated at the 2010 Oscars and this year at the Toronto Film Festival she has two movies showing, the first being 'Ginger and Rosa.' For this premiere I would like Annette to resort back to the man that designed her Oscar gown, Naeem Khan and this stunning gold and black striped Resort 2013 with flapper hem fringe. I think that this would be a sophisticated age appropriate look for the 54 year old actress. I would add a structured fitted tuxedo blazer unbuttoned, a pair of kitten heel Jimmy Choo gold sandals, and a gold clutch to throw the look into total hollywood glamour.

I always have a hard time with Christina Hendricks on the red carpet becuase she never dresses for her body type. She had a large voluptuous figure and does not know how to dress for it. The example that she should always go by is the lilac Zac Posen gown she wore for the 2010 Emmy Awards, the look accentuated her waist and showed off her decolletage in a sophisticated non-constricting manor and these are the main issues that Christina has on the red carpet. For the Toronto Film Festival Premiere of 'Ginger and Rosa' I have chosen to put Christina in this wine colored Zac Posen Resort 2013 dress but with a few much needed improvement for her figure. First I would have the long sleeves turned into just a cap at the shoulder and then have the pencil skirt made to fit straight down from her waist and not pulling in anywhere. Because Christina is still trying to figure out how to dress her body we will complete the look with a pair of black Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps and a black Judith Leiber clutch.

Where all the eyes will be at the premiere of 'Ginger and Rosa' will really be is on 14 year old Elle Fanning. Elle made a huge splash on the red carpet two years ago making her red carpet debut wearing Marc Jacobs at the Venice Film Festival and continuing to wear amazing looks and becoming the face of Rodarte in 2011. I think that the star will wear a Rodarte ensemble as she has not worn one of their complicated avant garde looks in quite some time and she is on the very short list of stars that actually get to. I have chosen this black and clay colored long sleeved dress from the Rodarte Fall 2012 RTW collection. I think that this look is totally within Elle's style and would complement her new hair color amazingly. Add a simple pair of black peep toes by Jimmy Choo or Nicolas Kirkwood sandals and this look is complete keeping all foucus on the stunning design.

MTV Movie Awards Wish List Part 1

Elizabeth Banks is an unofficial brand ambassador for Versace and has worn them many times this year and I would love that if for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards if she donned the brand again. I would love to see this stunning 60's inspired Versace Pre-Fall 2012 dress on Elizabeth. I think that the color would look stunning on the actress who has been sporting bold colors this year. Add a simple pair of gold metallic pumps and a gold clutch and she is set for an amazing look.

Elle Fanning was the face of the Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 AD campaign. I think that this is a great match as Marc by Marc is a youthful version of the main line, and Elle is one of the hot new talents in Hollywood. For the 2012 MTV Movie Awards I would love to see Elle wear this copper Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 RTW metallic polka dot dress. I think that with Elle's new redish brown hair that this gown would look amazing on her pale complexion. Add a pair of matching pumps and she is red carpet ready.

Emma Stone is someone I always look forward to seeing on the red carpet, but her last couple of red carpet outings I have been less than pleased with Emma's performance. I think the this simple red strapless Lanvin Fall 2012 RTW peplum cocktail dress would put Emma back on the Best Dressed track she was in at the beginning of the year. I love Emma in red and with the blonde hair I think that this dress would just pop like no other. Add a matching clutch and peep toe pumps and she is set. Pull her hair back into a tight high pony tail and a bold red lip I would absolutely fall head over heels in love with this ensemble.

Emma Watson is the other famous 'Emma' that I love to see on the red carpet. With the final installment of 'Harry Potter' now released this may be the last time we see Emma at the MTV Movie Awards for a while and I think she needs to go out with a bang and I think this crochet spiderweb inspired black and nude Carven Fall 2012 RTW dress would be absolutely amazing. I could see Emma rocking this gown as maybe even a mini dress and making its look youthful and flirty as she does with almost everything she wears. Add a bold pop of pink somewhere in this look by way of either a clutch or peep toe pumps and a pink lip and she would look absolutely stunning.

MET Ball Wish List: The Fanning Sisters

The Fanning sisters will most likely be at the MET Ball. Dakota will most likely be in attendance as she has three movies coming out this year, including one of the most anticipated films Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. She has worn some Elie Saab in the past for the promotional tours of The Runaways and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. I think that this stunning embellished Elie Saab Fall 2012 gown with a built in cape would look absolutely stunning on Dakota with her pale skin. There is a chance that this gown won't ever be worn because folk singer Florence Welch wore this in her 'Shake It Out' music video. Even though I am still hoping for a huge red carpet moment with this gown. Dakota should pull her hair into a low loose large bun, simple makeup, no clutch or jewelry, and a pair of champagne colored satin peep toe pumps.

Elle Fanning may not have a movie coming out this year but she is a huge staple in the New York fashion scene having been the face of both Marc by Marc Jacobs and Rodarte. She has worn so many Rodarte looks on the red carpet and I would love to see her wear this stunning burnt orange and white patterned ruffled Rodarte Fall 2012 RTW gown. I think that this is something that Elle would just go into the Rodarte studio and pull off the rack and wear to just about any event and I would love to see her in this. A bronze Judith Leiber clutch and a pair of bronze strappy sandals with her hair pulled back. Last year the sisters both attended the MET Ball and both wore Valentino Elle in Fall 2010 Couture and Dakota in Resort 2011.
