2014 Cannes Film Festival: Un Certain Regard Film Premires

The Un Certain Regard selection of the Cannes Film Festival begins today and there are three films that I am excited to see the stars of take to the red carpet. First up is 'The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby' staring Jessica Chastain and James McAvoy, which will premiere on May 17th. Jessica has been a staple in Cannes since her debut in 2011. When shopping the runways for Jessica's red carpet look I found this goldenrod Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture embroidered evening gown with a deep-v. This is a dress that when I saw it take to the runway I screamed Chastain Chastain Chastain and I will just die if she takes to the red carpet wearing it. The dress photographed very stiff on the runway but in the video moves very well. I would not pair the look with any clutch at all (per the Chastain norm), Chopard yellow diamond earrings, a pair of gold Charlotte Olympia pumps, and a pretty up-do would give Jessica a perfect look for the Cannes red carpet. Lea Seydoux will be premiering 'Saint Laurent' in the main competition on the same day and Eva Green is confirmed to walk the red carpet on the same night, a fabulous night ahead.

Joining Marion Cotillard and Gong Li on the red carpet on May 20th will be the cast of Ryan Gosling's directorial debut 'Lost River.' Eva Mendes will make her major red carpet return with this premiere. I hope that she is able to do so wearing this pink Giambattista Valli Spring 2014 Couture gown with blue floral embellishments on the upper bodice. I saw in the background of some Met Ball pictures that someone has purchased this gown for their wardrobe and wore it for the event but they were not recognized by any of the picture agencies. I am hoping that this doesn't mean that this gown is off the market as I think it is a perfect look for the Cannes Film Festival. An updo is a must for this look with the embellishments so close to her face. A pair of blue Jimmy Choo sandals would finish off this look perfectly for the red carpet. Her co-stars Christina Hendricks and Saorise Ronan are also confirmed to help Eva and Ryan premiere this film.

At the Closing Ceremony of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival actress now turned director Asia Argento pulled out bad ass bitch attitude on the red carpet wearing a silver slip gown and flipping off the photographers. Who knows what Asia will turn up as for the premiere of her directorial debut 'Incompressa' on May 22nd. When she was on the jury of the festival in 2009 Asia gave some great fave wearing some amazing looks from Armani Prive almost exclusively the entire festival. Although she has branched out wearing more designers I am hoping that Asia will return to the brand for this years festival. I think that this black silk Armani Prive Spring 2013 Couture spaghetti strap gown with red and white embellishments at the top of the bodice would be a simple yet perfect statement for Asia to make on this red carpet considering what she did last year. Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, and Charlotte Gainsbourg are expected on the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals that night and its is also the same night as the amFAR Gala.

2012 New York Film Festival: 'Holy Moters' Premiere Wish List

 Eva Mendes has not stepped out to promote this film as of late at any of the films premieres and I am still holding out hope that she will come out during one of these film festivals and just wow me. For the New York Film Festival premiere of this movie I would love to see Eva dig into the Valentino Couture Archives, as she has done many times in the past, and wow me wearing an archive creation that she has been able to do so often in the past. I think that this Valentino Fall 2010 Couture black and white cocktail dress with a sheer high neck and billowing sleeves would be perfect for the actress on this occasion.Some may say that this look is too young and that it should be worn by the likes of Elle Fanning but I think that Eva has the sophistication that it would take to mistake this an elegant red carpet ensemble. Pair this dress with a sparking black Edie Parker clutch and some black strappy sandals and I think that we just may have a winning look for Eva.

2012 Toronto Film Festival: Premiere Wish List Part Five

Eva Mendes has failed to excite me on the red carpet since her Valentino lace bow accented cocktail dress at last years Critics Choice Movie Awards and I am not holding out hope that she will wow me in Toronto at the Film Festival premiere of her film 'The Place Beyond The Pines.' Because of this I have chosen this blush nude Valentino Resort 2013 gown. It is basically not going to get her on the best dressed list but the meh look will keep her off the worst dressed list. I don't event know how to accessorize this look to make it best dressed worth.

The person that I am expecting to blow me away at the 'The Place Beyond The Pines' Toronto Film Festival Premiere is Rose Byrne. The star had captured my attention last year but really won my hear with her 2012 awards season run of fashion forward unexpected looks like her embellished Elie Saab jumpsuit at the SAG awards and her black sequin draped Vivienne Westwood gown for the Academy Awards. For this premiere I would love to see her wear this elegant blush pink rosette embellished Chanel Fall 2012 Couture gown. Rose has worn some amazing Chanel looks in the past and I think that this gown would just top any look that she has worn in the past. To keep this look fashion forward I would keep it simple with just a silver clutch and some white Louis Vuitton silver cap toe pumps which are a celebrity favorite right now.

I think that the Christian Dior Fall 2012 Couture collection will be the go to collection for celebrities that are dressing for the fall 2012 film festival circuit. After wishing to have Kate wear a stunning gold Elie Saab gown for the Venice Film Festival premiere of 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' I would love to see Kate wear this royal blue flowy top with black tapered pants from the Christian Dior Fall 2012 Couture collection for the Toronto Film Festival Premiere. I think that this look is that perfect mix of fashion, elegance, and edge that Kate looks for in a red carpet look. Styled by Rachel Zoe I would see this look with a black Edie Parker clutch and the runway pumps or black Christian Louboutin 'Pigalle' pumps.

Olga Kurylenko is a star that I always love to see the red carpet and even though she has such a great relationship with Elie Saab I think that this classic Chanel Fall 2012 Couture black dress would be the best option for her to wear for the Toronto Film Festival Premiere of the film 'To The Wonder.' I think that this dress is the modern take on the classic Chanel 'Little Black Dress' which is what made the house famous back in the 20's and 30's. I would pair this look with a Chanel black clutch, Chanel black sandals, and some pearl accented Chanel Fine Jewelry.

I always look forward to seeing what Rachel McAdams brings to the red carpet as she has given some amazing avant garde looks including she sheer red lace Marchesa dress that made my best dressed of the year list in 2012. For this premiere of 'To The Wonder' during the Toronto Film Festival I would love to see her wear this deep purple Zac Posen Resort 2013 halter dress with a full skirt. I think that this would be a great choice for Rachel as long as she doesn't wear the brooch as presented on the runway and has her hair pulled back. Add a pair of bejeweled black Rene Caovilla sandals and a silver Judith Leiber clutch to complete this look.

The final actress from 'To The Wonder' that would walk the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival premiere would be Rachel Weisz. The Academy Award winning actress has a host of designers that give her dresses for her red carpet appearance and for this event I would love to see Rachel wear this Oscar de la Renta Fall 2012 RTW cornflower blue Jackie O inspired dress. I think that this dress would make Rachel look elegant and sophisticated. I think that this look paired with the runway clutch and broach as well as some silver Jimmy Choo 'Lance' sandals would just make this look sing and shine like no other.

Cannes Film Festival: Photocall Wish List

Each day prior to the premiere of the press conference and premiere of each film there is a photocall where stars, directors, and producers gather in front of hundreds of press photographers to take promotional images. The female celebs take this look just as seriously as the actual premiere look because they will both be highly distributed. Eva Mendes is going to be promoting her film 'Holy Motors' and I think that for the photocall for this film I would love to see her wear this deep wine colored Diane Von Furstenberg Fall 2012 RTW dress. I would push the sleeves up to just above the elbows add a pair of gold pumps and some amazing gold earrings.

Even non competition special screening films get photocalls. Jada Pinkett Smith is in the non-competition film 'Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted' and I am sure she will stand at the photocall. I want Jada to wear this amazing military/tennis inspired Victoria Beckham Fall 2012 RTW dress with a pair of gold strappy sandals.

Kirsten Dunst is the person I have chosen to feature to represent the film, 'On The Road' which also features the talent of Kristen Stewart, Amy Adams, and Elisabeth Moss. Kirsten has an amazing sense of style and when it comes to Cannes she usually sticks to her go to designers Chanel and Rodarte but for this photocall I would love to see the actress with this Alberta Ferretti Fall 2012 RTW long sleeve chiffon dress. I think that this is totally withing Kirsten's style and I would pray she wore it. Add simple no fuss hair and a pair of bronze pumps and she is good to go for her press appearance.

Marion will be on hand at the festival to promote her french film 'Rust & Bone.' Marion is a face of Dior so it will not surprise me if that is all we see her wearing whilst at the festival. For the photocall for the film would love to see Marion in this grey flowy Christian Dior Fall 2012 RTW dress. Noe this dress is simple and to keep it from being overly fussy only needs a simple pair of silver strappy sandals to keep the look light and airy.

Now this wish for Mia Wasikowska to wear this stunning orange swirl print Stella McCartney Evening 2012 dress is a bit of a stretch because she is the face of Miu Miu and I would expect her to wear a dress by them but after looking at the runways I would guess that whatever she picks will be from a commercial collection. With that said if she wore this Stella McCartney dress she would definitely stand out amongst her peers who take their stands at the photocalls during the two week festival. I would tell her to pair this look with a pair of orange peep toes and no other accessories as well as she should wear her hair back and up to show off all the details in the dress.

Last but not least we have Tilda Swinton, who other than Diane Kruger is set to have the first photocall of the festival as it is her film 'Moonrise Kingdom' that is opening the festival. I would love to see Tilda wear this beige Hussein Chalyan Fall 2012 RTW dress with a red-orange waist accent. I think that Tilda would kill this dress and I hope she wears it because not many favor this brand and I would be highly disappointed if this dress was swept up by someone like Lady Gaga instead of someone with sophistication like Tilda. Add a pair of pumps that match the red-orange waist detail and she would be set.

Cannes Film Festival: 'Holy Motors' Premiere

Eva Mendes is set to debut her latest flick 'Holy Motors' which is in the competition at this years Cannes Film Festival. I would love to see her in this long sleeves red and white etoile patterned Valentino Spring 2012 Couture gown. Eva is probably one of the only people in the world that could wear this gown and not end up looking like a sister wife. Eva oozes sex and it would come right through the matronly-ness of this gown. I would add one of the Prada thin bow belts and some simple nude peep toe pumps with minimal to no jewelry and have her hair pulled back and up.

Jury member Diane Kruger may or may not walk the red carpet at this premiere. If you look at last years fashionista Uma Thurman she only stepped out on the red carpet at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies as well as the non-competition Gala premieres but the year before Kate Beckinsale was all over the red carpets. I think that Diane will be a judge who walks the red carpet for all of the premieres she can. For this one I would love to see her in this pink Atelier Versace Fall 2010 Couture ball gown. I think that Diane has the presence on the red carpet to make this couture gown look absolutely effortless. No clutch, matching pink peep toe pumps, and a simple diamond bracelet would be the perfect accessories for this look.

Teen Choice Awards Dress Picks: Eva, Ginnifer, and Hailee

Resident sex kitten who has recently started to get her mojo back would looks STUNNING in this fringey flapper style Lanvin Resort 2012 dress. I don't usually agree with dressing someone off a runway head to toe in one designer but for this look I would pair this dress with a Lanvin striped peralized minaudire Resort 2011 clutch and a pair of gold Lanvin wedgeless wedges from the Fall 2011 RTW collection.

Ginnifer has a cutesie quirky style and is a fan of Christian Dior, which is why I choose this pale yellow full skirted mini dress. I would pair this dress with a Judith Leiber Fizzy clutch and Fendi tulle wrap plexi platform sandals.

Hailee is the current face of Miu Miu so it is expected for her to wear the brand for any major red carpet appearance. The Fall 2011 RTW collection does not translate well for the young star as it is targeted towards a much older audience so I picked this youthful dress from the Resort 2012 collection. This is a rare case again where she is pretty much obligated to wear the brand head to toe so I would pair it with matching raspberry Miu Miu sandals.
