"The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" London Premiere Wish List

On December 1 the final installment of the Hobbit trilogy, "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies," will premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square in London. Cate Blanchett was ravishing during the first films promo tour and non-existent during the seconds. I am praying a short prayer to the fashion gods that Cate will take to the red carpet during the world premiere. I would choose this electric blue Lanvin Spring 2015 RTW silk column gown with matching leather belt as it is simple yet bold and impactful. The simple silhouette of this gown would look fantastic on Cate and the color would be a delightful treat against Cate's pale icey skin. A pair of silver pumps and some statement Chopard earrings would just further along a stunning red carpet ensemble.
Evangeline Lilly doesn't pop up much on the red carpet, in fact the last time we saw her on the red carpet was when the last Hobbit film premiered. Mrs Lilly prefers to keep her red carpet offerings simplistic and masculine with slight feminine touches. That is why I picked this silver Houghton Spring 2015 RTW cap sleeve gown. I think that the structured bodice mixed with the soft embellishments would make this a red carpet look perfect for Evangeline Lilly. Hair worn down in an edgy look, simplistic makeup, and a pair of silver sandals would finish off this perfect look for Evangeline and the "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" London premiere.

2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards Wish List Part 1

Adele Exarchopoulos is a new face on the red carpet after debuting her film 'Blue is the Warmest Color' at the Cannes Film Festival wearing Balmain and Gucci. The film as garnered the 20 year old actress a nomination for Best Young Actor/Actress at the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards on January 16th 2014. Having worn some very simple and some very complicated looks I am torn on what to put her in but I ultimately decided to put the French starlet in this Valentino Spring 2014 RTW folk style gown. I think that the star just oozes sex though her pours so that even though that she would be completely covered up in this gown. Finish the look with a pair of nude sandals and a gold clutch to add the right finishing touches.
American Hustle star is Amy Adams has garnered a nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy for her work in the film at the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards. Earlier this year Amy Adams wore a top and skirt by Vionnet to this event when she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her work in 'The Master.' I have kinda kept the same style for her to wear with this 30s inspired Jenny Packham Spring 2014 RTW gown. I am in love with this gown and I am praying that I will see it take to a red carpet during the 2014 Awards Season and Amy would make the perfect model for this look on the red carpet. Finish the look with a Prada box clutch that matches the salmon pink band in the dress, a pair of bronze Christian Louboutin d'orsay knot peep toe platform pumps as well as some stunning statement jewels in her ears, around her wrist, and on her finger from Bulgari.
My queen of the red carpet Cate Blanchett has been nominated for Best Actress for her work in the Woody Allen flick 'Blue Jasmine' at the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards. I am predicting that during the course of awards season that we will see Cate wear one Antonio Berardi ensemble and I think that this pink and red color blocked gown from the Spring 2014 RTW collection will look absolutely amazing on the red carpet. This is amazing dress needs someone with the presence of Cate to pull it off and then who better than the queen. Finish the look very simply with a red Roger Vivier clutch, a pair of red Roger Vivier sandals, and Van Cleef & Arpels diamond drop earrings to ensure that all eyes will be one the queen.
Best Actress for 'Saving Mr. Banks' nominee Emma Thompson has not exactly thrilled me on the red carpet whilst out promoting the film, but I am hoping now that she has garnered some nominations that she will be able to make me fall love some of her looks (if not all). For the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards I think that this Naeem Khan Pre-Fall 2014 gown with gold beaded draped fringe would be the perfect gown for the 54 year old British actress. Add a simple Jimmy Choo 'Tube' clutch in gold, a pair of black Salvatore Ferragamo satin peep toe pumps, a pair of Chopard Red Carpet Collection fire opal earrings, and a turtle shaped Chopard ring that consists of 16 carats of yellow, brown, and cognac diamonds to finish off a chic sophisticated look for the nominee.
It would be a delight to see Best Actress in an Action Movie for 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' nominee Evangeline Lilly take to the red carpet at the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards. Whilst on the promo tour for this film Evangeline wore a stunning Catherine Dean stone white gown (pictured left) and I still think her best ever red carpet look came from the 'You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger' premiere at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival with a blue and green fringe Emilio Pucci cocktail dress. For this event I think that this slinky body hugging Emilio Pucci Spring 2014 RTW white long sleeve gown that features slashes all over the sleeves and down the sides would make Mrs Lilly looks like a sexy femme fatale queen. An ivory and silver Edie Parker 'Jean' stripe box clutch, a pair of Jimmy Choo 'Lance' sandals, A pair of dazzling Chopard drop earrings featuring 23 carats of emeralds and 5 carats of diamond, and a 20 carat emerald Chopard cocktail ring set in a setting of platinum and diamonds will ensure that this is one of the best looks of the night.
Relative red carpet newcomer Greta Gerwig first stepped out for the world to see on the arm of designer Prabal Gurung wearing one of his creations at the 2012 Met Ball and she looked fantastic' so naturally I turned to the designer to find her look for the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards where she is nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy for her work in the film 'Francis Ha.' Having a knack for wearing some of the more avant garde looks I chose this bright blue look from the Prabal Gurung Spring 2014 RTW collection which features a portrait neckline. This look takes a very brave woman to make it work and I think that Greta can be one of those women. A pair of simple Jimmy Choo silver 'Raven' sandals, a mirrored Jimmy Choo 'Cosma' Clutch, as well as a pair of Harry Winston sapphire and diamond earrings from 1975, and a newer Harry Winston diamond and sapphire bracelet would complete this absolutely perfect look for Greta.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: L'Oreal Spokesmodel's Wish List Part 4

Evangeline Lilly has not been seen on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet since 2010 where she wore a stunning Valentino gown and a shocking Emilio Pucci cocktail dress on the red carpet. Evangeline has a very simple sense of dressing and I think that the three looks that I have picked for her would look amazing on her and would be contenders for her to wear. Of course we have my favorite look a stunning peach Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture gown. I think that this would be the best option out of all the looks, not only because I am in love with this Elie Saab collection, because it would fit her body amazing and is a perfect mix of tomboy and glamour. Then we have a blush pink Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2013 gown. All the looks I have picked have sleeves because Evangeline has very broad shoulders and I think that these would downplay them like she tends to do on the red carpet. Finally we have the most predictable look a stunning Valentino Fall 2012 Couture blue on blue gown. I have been surprised that more of this collection hasn't been worn but I think that this would be perfect for Evangeline on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.
In 2010 and 2011 Fan Bingbing was the Queen of the Cannes red carpet just showing up to the premieres looking fabulous wearing designs by Armani, Elie Saab, Versace, Valentino, Oscar de la Renta and many many more. Last year she only took to the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals twice once in a stunning Elie Saab couture creation and once at the opening ceremony in a modern take on a cultural gown like she has every year since she showed up on the scene. Well I do have a wish for her to wear for the opening ceremony but that won't be published until late April with the rest of the wishes for the ladies attending the Opening Ceremony of the festival. Here I have three looks I would love to see the Chinese beauty wear. Up first is a sculptural Armani Prive navy blue one shoulder gowns. Fan loves to wear big gowns but looks amazing in ones fitted close to her body and I think that the fit and the color on Fan would look stunning. Next I have a stunning yellow ball gown from the Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture collection. Since I first saw this gown there is not a celebrity in the world that I can picture it on except for Fan. I am glad that she is not afraid to dig into archives to pull out gowns and this is one that needs to be seen. The last gown I have picked for the L'Oreal girl is this stunning wine colored Marchesa Fall 2013 RTW gown that was shown not shown on the runway but in the collection made available for sale through ModaOperandi.com. I think that this would have a large impact on the red carpet in Cannes because it is a classic silhouette with a modern twist with the peek-a-boo hemline.
Up last for today is Freida Pinto. The stunning Indian actress who was thrust into the international spotlight when her first film 'Slumdog Millionaire' became a hit with the critics and went on to win the Best Picture of the Year Award at the Academy Award in 2009. Since then she has been seen in several film festival films as well as the 2011 film 'Immortals.' Last year was Freida's first ever Cannes Film Festival and she rocked a bevy of glamorous looks from a host of designers such as Michael Angel, Atelier Versace (twice), Salvatore Ferragamo, and Paco Rabanne. I am hoping to see the stunning beauty again this year wearing a whole new batch of stunning designs. I think that this first look I have for Freida would make a huge statement, a stunning gold and white Alexander McQueen Fall 2013 RTW gown. I, of course, would not have her wear the strapless gown with the cape as it was presented on the runway but just the strapless ball gown itself. Then there is this amazing beaded Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2012 Couture gown. This gown is a work of art and I can not believe that someone has not snatched it up yet. And finally we have a stunning red silk Marchesa Fall 2013 RTW gown with gold embroidery. Freida always looks stunning in red and it has been a long time since we have seen her wear a Marchesa design.
