2013 Hollywood Film Awards Wish List

 The road to the 2014 Academy Awards will begin on Sunday October 21st at the 2013 Hollywood Film Awards, the first major awards event of the season. One thing different about this awards show is that all of the winners are announced prior to the night of the event. The 2013 Hollywood Ensemble Award will be handed over to the ensemble cast of 'August: Osage County' on Sunday night and 17 year old Abigail Breslin is one of the members of the cast. Abigail has a dark but flirty and young red carpet style. For the premiere of the film at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival she wore a dark floral Alice + Olivia gown which she paired with a denim jacket to make it just that much more youthful. For the 2013 Hollywood Film Awards I would love to see this pastel colored Giles Spring 2014 RTW camo print cocktail dress. This is a youthful cocktail ensemble that is perfect for Abigail and the event. Finish the look with a pony-tail over one shoulder and a pair of nude Christian Louboutin pumps and Abigail will have the perfect red carpet look.

 Camilla Alves is not being honored with anything at this awards show but I am sure she will make an appearance as she is the wife and arm candy of Hollywood Actor Award honoree Matthew McConaughey, who is being honored for his work in 'Dallas Buyers Club.' Camilla always looks elegant when she is playing the plus one role. I think that this teal Zuhair Murad Spring 2014 RTW long sleeve dress with lace inserts. This dress is sophisticated with a sexy twist which is something that we usually see Camilla do when she steps out on the red carpet. Finish this look off with amazing flowing locks, gold sandals,  minimal jewels and Camilla will finish off this amazing look.

 Julia Roberts is the other member of the ensemble cast of 'August: Osage County' on this list who will be honored with the Hollywood Ensemble Award and is also going to be honored with the Hollywood Supporting Actress Award. I have not been a fan of Julia Roberts on the red carpet since her black and white Valentino Oscar gown in 2001. I was happy to see her wear a bold red Dolce & Gabbana dress for the films Toronto International Film Festival and I am hoping to see her continue wearing bold options all through awards season. The only couture wish on this list comes from the Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture collection and I think that this multi colored entirely beaded long sleeved cocktail dress is perfect for Julia and features a sexy open back for a hint of sex appeal. Finish the look with the same nude sandals that she wore with her Dolce & Gabbana dress will make for the perfect look for her to wear Sunday night.

 I will have to say that the woman I am most looking forward to seeing take to the red carpet at the 2013 Hollywood Film Awards is the New Hollywood Award honoree Lupita Nyong'o. Lupita is being honored for her work in the Steve McQueen drama '12 Years a Slave.' The actress made her big red carpet debut at the films Toronto International Film Festival premiere wearing a white and gold custom made Prada gown, and then continued on to sit front row at the Miu Miu Spring 2014 RTW collection, I am predicting a stunning custom Prada or Miu Miu gown if she makes it to the 2014 Academy Awards. But for Sunday nights Hollywood Film Awards I would love to see Lupita wear this amazing red, white, and black Miu Miu Spring 2014 RTW cocktail ensemble that is finished off with beaded fringe on the bodice and waist. I am not usually a fan of the Miu Miu collections on the runway, usually favoring the custom red carpet pieces, but I am really in love with this look. I think that Lupita is one of the few women that I can picture wearing this look and in my head she defiantly is the person that wears it the best. Complete this look with a pair of black sandals and a red clutch and Lupita will have the perfect red carpet look for the Hollywood Film Awards.

I keep hearing the possible Oscar buzz behind Sandra Bullock and I can't actually wait to see her latest film 'Gravity.' I am sure that the Hollywood Actress Award honor from this years Hollywood Film Awards will not hurt her chances of at least scoring a nomination. For her to collect her award Sunday night I would love to see the stunning 49 year old actress wear this rust colored J. Mendel Spring 2014 RTW off the shoulder gown with a sexy slit up to there. I was less than impressed with the red J. Mendel gown Sandy wore for the films Venice Film Festival premiere. I would complete this ensemble with a pair of black and gold Gucci 'Kelis' sandals and a black Gucci 'Hollywood' gold studded clutch to give Sandra the perfect red carpet ensemble for the Hollywood Film Awards.

2013 London Film Festival: 'The Zero Theorem' Premiere Wish List

I am sure that many do not get my fascination with Tilda Swinton, while most find her extremely unattractive I think her pale milky skin and androgynous face make her unique and gorgeous. She will be premiering two films, neither of which she has actually taken to the carpet to promote as of yet, but I am still hopeful that she will grace the 2013 London Film Festival red carpet to premiere her film, 'The Zero Theorem.' I have never seen Tilda wear a design by Giles, at least not in my realm of knowledge, but I think that this dark painted faces cape gown from the Giles Spring 2014 RTW collection is something that Tilda would just rock and make people fall in love with this look. I will admit that this dress just on the runway repulses me and it would need a very specific wearer and I believe that Tilda is that woman. She should finish the look with black and gold Saint Laurent pumps and a gold clutch and she will have a look that will leave people in shock and awe

2013 Teen Choice Awards Wish List: Kerry Washington

Kerry Washington used to be a favorite and was one of my favorites during awards season but lately I am not loving what she is what bringing to the red carpet and I am hoping that she will bring back the high fashion when she steps out for the 2013 Teen Choice Awards. This magenta Giles Fall 2013 RTW cocktail dress would be the perfect option for Kerry for this event who is nominated for Choice Movie Actress: Comedy for Peeples. This dress paired with a black Edie Parker clutch and a pair of black strappy sandals would be the perfect finishing touches to this amazing avant garde ensemble.

2013 BAFTA Awards: Nominee Wish List Part 1

Amy Adams has been looking really pretty on the red carpet as of late but in very simple designs. I think that this Roland Mouret Pre-Fall 2013 gown would be absolutely perfect for Amy and the BAFTA Awards. This gown is great for the gold night London weather. Pair this with a black clutch, and some black peep toe pumps and I think she has a winning look on her side.

Andrea Riseborough was one of my Ones to Watch in 2012 after the stunning looks she showcased at the end of 2011 but she really let me down wearing a lot of dumpy looks. The star is being honored with a special rising star award and I am hoping to see her wear something that takes my breath away. This nude leather laser cut Giles Spring 2013 RTW tea length dress would be an absolutely amazing pick for her for this event especially if she modified it into a full length gown. Finish this look with gold Charlotte Olympia pumps and a gold clutch to finish off this edgy look.

I have been having a heard time identifying Anne Hathaway's red carpet style. I feel like she is trying to revert back to her princessy classy choices of the past and I do not feel like they are working with her short hair like the edgy looks that she has been wearing do. Well for the BAFTA Awards I think that this 30's inspired black Alberta Ferretti Pre-Fall 2013 gown would be perfect. Its not the typical 'Anne Hathaway Princess Gown' of the past while not necessarily being extremely edgy either like the looks that I would kill to see her wear are. Finish this look with a black and silver Edie Parker clutch, black sandals, and simple jewels and I may fall in love with my first Anne Hathaway red carpet look in several red carpet appearances.

Elizabeth Olson was another one of my Ones to Watch in 2012 but again she really let me down wearing less than worthy looks that aged her incredibly. For the 2013 BAFTA Awards where she is nominated for Best Young Actress I would love to see the star wear this Chanel Pre-Fall 2013 gown. The black French empire style gown that actually features a pair of black pants incorporated into the look would be a great choice for the star who has shone in Chanel before. Finish this look with a black satin Chanel clutch and some black pumps and I think she will be back on top of my best dressed lists yet again.

When it comes to the red carpet I either love or hate what Helen Hunt wears on the red carpet and on her past few outings I have not been a fan of her looks. I am hoping to see the star redeem herself at the 2013 BAFTA Awards wearing this mauve Badgley Mischka Spring 2013 RTW gown. I think that this is the simple gown with a twist that Helen goes for normally, the twist being the beaded halter of the gown. A gunmetal colored clutch and matching sandals would be the perfect finishing touches for this look and no jewelry for the star who tends to go overboard with the borrowed bling.

Top 10 of London Fashion Week Spring 2013

2012 Emmy Awards: 'Glee' Cast Wish List

I hope to still see the 'Glee' girls at the 2012 Emmy Awards even though the show is not nominated for any of the major awards. In fact this year there are many new shows but the problem is that most of the shows are male dominated or the females are not fashionistas. Dianna Agron has turned into a fashionista from someone who only wore Carolina Herrera when she first arrived on the scene. I would love to see the white burned detail hater gown it a is still ethereal whilst being extremely edgy at the same time. A gold confetti Edie Parker clutch, gold strappy Jimmy Choo 'Lance' sandals, hair worn in a slight curly up do and simple make up would make this look sing.

Jayma Mays has been the unexpected breakout style star from 'Glee' and she has this sweet style and I think that this mint Jackie O-esque Reem Acra Resort 2013 gown would be an amazing look for the style maven. I think that this look that is not strapless and has a nude illusion netting that allows the lace detail to creep up over the top of the sweetheart neckline of the gown to add a very beautiful detail would look amazing against the milky skin tone and red hair that Jayma has. I think that she would work this gown and end up on everyone's best dressed list with only adding simple diamonds and silver strappy sandals or pumps.

Lea Michele is THE red carpet diva from the show and totally works looks that her character 'Rachel Berry' would run away screaming from. Regular readers of the blog will remember that I put this look in a wish list for Lea to wear just after it walked the runway. Now I am going to help the star style this amazing white Atelier Versace Fall 2012 Couture futuristic bustier gown. I think that Lea should keep it simple by carrying a white or silver clutch (no satin), donning a silver pair of t-bar sandals, and then adding an amazing pair of statement sapphire earrings and a small cuff by her go to red carpet jeweler Lorraine Schwartz.

Last year Naya Rivera attend the Emmy Awards and gave us an amazing modern interpretation of Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' wearing a stunning Loyd Klein gown which was leaps and bounds better than the Simin Couture emerald charmuse puff ball gown with a high slit that was a catastrophe on the 2010 Emmy Awards red carpet. This year I would love to see Naya wear this chocolate bronze Douglas Hannant Fall 2012 RTW strapless gown with a bow accented sweetheart neckline. Add a bronze clutch, black pumps, and some chocolate diamond earrings to complete this look.

MTV Video Music Awards Wish List: Nicki Minaj

Hey Nicki, you always looks so fly on the RC weather your rocking Givenchy Couture or Mark Fast or Manish Arora. But for this I have given her this black Giles Fall 2011 RTW ensemble. I love the feather/hair/fur trim which I def think that Minaj could wear!!!

Now the top does a lot of talking but I know for sure that these Giuseppe Zanotti boots (first worn by Beyonce to perform at the 2010 Grammy Awards) would be just the perfect top to the perfect look for Nicki.
