2014 Academy Awards: Presenters Wish List Part 2

Glenn Close has a close relationship with Zac Posen and he almost exclusively dressed the 66 year old actress and I am sure that is not going to change come Sunday night at the 2014 Academy Awards. For this years ceremony where Glenn is a presenter I would love to see her wear this navy blue Zac Posen Fall 2014 RTW gown which features long sleeves and a built in cape. I am in LOVE with this gown, continuous readers know I love me a red carpet look featuring a cape, and I think that this is the perfect look for Mrs Close for this occasion. A pair of navy Salvatore Ferragamo pumps, a navy Prada satin box clutch, and some stunning diamond cluster earrings will finish out this perfect ensemble for the 2014 Academy Awards

This is the first time that I have ever featured Goldie Hawn on this site, so lets give her a warm welcome. Goldie, along with daughter Kate Hudson (who's wish will post tomorrow), are both slated presenters at this years Academy Awards. Goldie still has that loose BOHO chic look that she helped make so popular in the 1970s. For Sunday nights awards I am trying to mesh that BOHO ascetic with the high glamour associated with the Oscars. This gold Jenny Packham Fall 20114 RTW long sleeve beaded gown would be a perfect choice for Mrs. Hawn. This gown would look elegant and dazzling while still being laid back and sexy. These are all things that Goldie looks for in a red carpet ensemble, and most importantly it is age appropriate. Finish the look with a pair of gold stain peep toe pumps, a gold box clutch, and a simple pair of gold cluster earrings and Goldie will dazzle me on the red carpet.

At last year's Academy Awards Jennifer Garner worked the red carpet in an absolutely AMAZING Gucci Premiere gown, and I am hoping that she will give us something just as amazing to talk about this year. I pulled this blush pink Oscar de la Renta Fall 2014 RTW ballgown but there is just something about it that reads a little safe for me. This might be my choice because of the fact that Jennifer hasn't worked any interesting looks while promoting her film 'Dallas Buyers Club,' which is nominated for Best Picture on Sunday night. If she goes this route a pair of gold sandals, a gold clutch, and some dazzling diamonds might help lift this look to a wow moment on Jenn but I am still holding out that she will find the most stunning custom gown in the world like last year.

2013 Golden Globe Awards Wish List: Best Actress in a TV Drama

When I chose this Nina Ricci Spring 2013 RTW dress for Claire Danes she was still pregnant and I was not sure when she was due to give birth, but she has recently given birth to a baby boy. Many will look at this wish and not understand why I am wishing for her to wear a short gown. Well I am actually wishing for Claire to wear a modified version of this dress to have it turned into a gown. I think that this blue dress from Nina Ricci would make a stunning gown and is totally something that Claire would wear in either version. Pair this gown with a blue clutch and a pair of blue peep toe pumps a small diamond earring and a collection of small diamond bracelets and this look is complete

Glenn Close has worn some things that I loved and some things that I have hated. I think that I would love her in this red and black Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2013 gown. Glenn frequents wearing Zac Posen designs on the red carpet for major awards shows, she wore his gowns for the 2012 SAG and Academy Awards. I love this dress and she would be the first person to grace the red carpet in one of the designs from this collection if she was to choose this gown. A black clutch, black peep toe pumps, and some diamond accessories to finish off the look would make her sophisticated and stunning

Julianne Marguilies has started stepping out of her comfort zone of Narciso Rodriguez and L'Wren Scott designs on the red carpet, especially at the 2012 Emmy Awards where she donned a daring and risky Giambattista Valli couture floral print ball gown. Well for this event I would love to see Julianna wear this black and nude Donna Karan Resort 2013 gown. I have been dying to see this gown walk the red carpet since it was first presented in May of last year and I think that Julianna is the perfect match for this gown. Just some statement gold earrings and a pair of black peep toe pumps and she will wow the fashion world.

Michelle Dockery has yet to wow me n the red carpet after two major flops at the Met Ball wearing Ralph Lauren and the Emmy Awards wearing a custom Louis Vuitton I am hoping that the 'Downton Abby' star will finally wow me. I think that this watercolor blue print Giorgio Armani Spring 2013 RTW dress transformed into a gown would be just what she needs to wow me. Finish the look with a silver Edie Parker confetti clutch, silver Christian Loubouitn sandals, and some amazing diamond statement earrings and this looks is complete and will no doubt garner her some positive red carpet attention.

2012 Emmy Awards: Drama Nominess

Archie Panjabi, who is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama for her role on 'The Good Wife,' has never worn a couture gown on a red carpet and what better platform is there for her to do so. I think that this amazing Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture gown with lace cut out details would look stunning on the British Indian actress for the Emmy Awards. I think that this gown would look amazing on Archie who has this kind of dark style. Add an emerald clutch, black strappy sandals, and an amazing pair of emerald earrings.

A pregnant Claire Danes will take to the red carpet at the 2012 Emmy Awards where she is most likely to win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for her new show Homeland. I am looking forward to seeing how Claire dresses in her pregnancy. I think that Claire should wear this white Prabal Gurung Fall 2012 RTW gown with gold embroidered sleeves. I think that this gown would only enhance the beauty of the stars baby bump and then continue to flow and look elegant. A pair of gold strappy sandals (heels or flats) and a gold clutch would look absolutely amazing.

I was really wowed by all the looks that Glenn Close showcased at the beginning of this year wearing lots of Armani Prive and Zac Posen gowns that most women of her age would run away from. For the 2012 Emmy Awards where Glenn is nominated for her lead role in her show 'Damages,' I would love to see her wear this amazing Zac Posen Resort 2012 gown. I think that this gown would look amazing on the star. Add a black clutch and a pair of black pumps and the look is complete.

Julianna Margulies looks absolutely amazing wearing the designs of L'Wren Scott and I hope that this amazing purple velvet gown is what she will choose for this years Emmy Awards in which she is nominated yet again for Lead Actress in 'The Good Wife.' I think that this purple velvet L'Wren Scott Fall 2012 RTW gown will look amazing on Julianna with the crystal broach on the shoulder and a bustle style train. I would add a gun metal clutch, some black pumps, and some amazing diamonds in her ears and on her wrist to complete the look.

2012 Academy Awards Best Actress Nominees Wish List

The Oscars are Sunday night and I am super excited to see all the nominees take to the red carpet outside of the Kodak Theater before heading in to receive their awards. Glenn Close is super stunning and I think that she would look absolutely stunning in this Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2012 navy ruffled ball gown. I would have half sleeves added to this dress to make it a little more elegant and age appropriate. Some great diamond and sapphire earrings, a navy clutch, and some navy peep toe pumps would be absolutely perfect and Glenn would look absolutely amazing.

I saw this red Carolina Herrera Fall 2012 RTW in a special preview of the collection and the moment I did I knew that it was what I want Meryl Streep to wear this year to the Oscars. I believe after seeing 'The Iron Lady' that Meryl is a huge contender for the little gold statue on Sunday. I think that she would look absolutely stunning on her and it is totally something that she would pull. No clutch, and some black peep toe pumps and diamond earrings would be all that Meryl will need to win.

I am really excited to see what Michelle Williams is going to wear to the 2012 Academy Awards as she has constantly been getting better in her style. I think that this yellow Jason Wu Spring 2012 RTW ball gown with a rise and fall hem is not your typical Oscar dress but is something that Michelle would look stunning in. Michelle is a huge fan of Jason Wu and I am hoping that she wears him on Sunday giving him his first Oscar appearance. This gown without the black belt, a gold clutch, and some gold strappy sandals along with some great gold jewelry will push Michelle onto my best dressed list.

Another Oscars another year I will wish for this dress to be worn. Last year I wished for 'Black Swan' star and Best Supporting Actress nominee Mila Kunis to wear it. This year I have chosen to put Rooney Mara in this stunning red creation. This is seriously one of my favorite gowns and I am still shocked that it has not been worn thus far. I choose this because I am praying for Rooney not to wear another black gown to this award show. I would love for this to be her Oscar dress, paired with some great diamond earrings and some red peep toe pumps.

Last but not least I have this amazing blue Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture gown for the always stunning Viola Davis. Viola is the other actress nominated in this category that I would like to see go home with the statue. I do not envy the members of the Academy for having to make up their mind on who should receive the coveted little gold naked man on Sunday night. I think that this gown would look absolutely stunning on the actress who has been progressively making more fashion forward and amazing red carpet choices as of late. I think that she would look great in this and the dress has amazing movement. I would pair it with matching clutch and peep toe pumps and some amazing diamond earrings and bracelets.

2012 SAG Awards Best Actress in a Motion Picture Wish List

I am forever in love with Glenn Close, she is true to herself on the red carpet as she always dresses true to her form, but I have to tell u Glenn velvet is not your friend as it is way to heavy on your frame. I would love to see you in this cream Georges Hobeika Fall 2011 Couture column gown with sheer floral embellished long-sleeved top. I think that this is the perfect mix of dressing modern and dressing age-appropriately. A gold clutch and gold peep toe pumps would complete this look with Glenn's signature hairstyle.

Now, I find Meryl Streep extremely hard to decide what she is going to wear, as she changes it up all the time. Well, for the SAG's, I am wishing for Meryl to wear this emerald green Badgley Mischka Pre-Fall 2012 RTW gown. I really don't feel like wasting my time on her because she is almost a lost cause; just add a pair of black pumps and maybe a black clutch cuz that is what she would do even though I would really recommend matching with green peep toes and a gold clutch, but hey that's just me.

Michelle Williams can go from dressing overtly mature to dressing way too youthful. I am going for a more youthful look by asking Michelle to wear this baby pink Chanel Spring 2011 couture gown that goes to the ankles with the beaded t-shirt style top. I think that this would be perfect for Michelle; it's youthful and elegant but still fun. She should put no hair accessory with this and add a silver crystal encrusted clutch with silver strappy sandals to make this look sing.

I love Tilda Swinton's androgyny on the red carpet and after my wish (of style not color but love the color on her) came true at the Golden Globes! I am hoping that it happens again, but Tilda has never worn this designer before to my documented knowledge. I would love to see Tilda in this nude colored Bouchra Jarrar Spring 2012 Couture top and full length skirt. I love when she wears these draped ensembles and pair it with a gold clutch and maybe the same gold sandals she wore to the Golden Globes would be perfect. If she wanted to add some bling a gold cuff would be a perfect way to.

After Viola stepped out at the Golden Globes in her burgundy Emilio Pucci gown, with a thigh high split, I knew that I had to step up my wishes for her, so I did. I would kill to see her wear this bold green Elie Saab Spring 2012 RTW gown with a central split. I think that this color would look amazing on Viola and she wore gold strappy sandals, carried a gold crystal encrusted clutch, and placed a pair of amazing gold diamond drop earrings would make her end up on my best dressed list for sure.

2012 Golden Globe Awards Movie Nominees Wish List

Bernice Bejo is the new girl on the block. The Argentinian beauty is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her role in the modern silent film hit, 'The Artist', and I am excited for her to make her awards season red carpet debut. Why, you may ask? Well, the answer to that is simple for me to answer. Bernice has developed a relationship and love affair with my favorite red carpet designer Elie Saab. This is why I am asking her to don this goldenrod yellow strapless embellished Elie Saab Spring 2012 RTW gown. I will tell you, I will be picking looks exclusively from Elie for Bernice because she has the presence to pull off his designs. A pair of gold strappy sandals and a gold crystal encrusted clutch would send this look into best dressed territory.

Charlize Theron is one that I am really excited to see return to the awards season red carpet because she does know how to bring it on the carpet. This liquid gunmetal silver color would look AMAZING on the South African star, who is nominated for Best Actress, in a Motion Picture Comedy for her role in the film, 'Young Adult.' This dress would be amazing; she might add some panels to cover up some of the exposed skin at the bottom of the top portion above the peplum. Gunmetal sandals and some stunning earrings would make this look perfect. She should not carry a bag, after all she is an Oscar winning actress, that is what assistants are for! LOL!

Glenn Close is a red carpet veteran and is no stranger to the Golden Globes red carpet. However, the change is that this year Glenn is nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her role as the title character in the film, 'Albert Nobbs.' I think that Glenn would look stunningly elegant in this blue Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2012 gown. I think that while still being fashion forward, this is still an elegant look for Glenn, nothing to revealing just elegance. A pair of matching blue peep toe pumps and some diamond earrings would make this look shine.

I am again going to wish for Jessica Chastain to wear a yellow gown because I LOVE that color on her. This Versace Spring 2012 RTW gown would look amazing on the red headed actress, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her role as Celia Foote in the hit film, 'The Help.' A gold clutch and gold strappy sandals would add just the right touch to finish off this look.

Jodie Foster is nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy for her work in the film, 'Carnage', and I am really looking forward to what the two time Oscar winning actress will bring to the red carpet this year at the Golden Globe Awards. Last year, Jodie stepped out at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of the film, 'The Beaver', wearing Giorgio Armani and I am hoping that on Sunday night Jodie does so once more wearing this ice blue Giorgio Armani Spring 2012 RTW gown. I think that this paired with silver accessories, diamond chandelier earrings, and a few diamond bracelets Jodie would shine just like her Oscars.

Kate Winslet tends to favor black and nude on the red carpet, and today I am going to ask her to step out of those boxes, and try this midnight blue Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2012 gown. The Oscar winning actress, who is also nominated with her co-star Jodie Foster for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy, would look absolutely stunning in this draped gown with cap sleeves. In fact, I believe she would look like a goddess floating on cloud nine if she were to wear this. I would recommend matching strappy sandals and earrings from her go to jeweler Tiffany and Co.

Like the other day, I am wishing for Meryl Streep to put in a little bit of effort on the red carpet and since this is one of the big 3 film awards shows, I am hoping that she really does. For the 2012 Golden Globe Awards, where Meryl is nominated for her role as former British Prime Minister Margret Thatcher in the film, 'The Iron Lady', for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama. I want Meryl to don this canary yellow Vionnet Spring 2012 RTW gown. I think that this yellow would look amazing on the red carpet veteran. No clutch, gold pumps, and a fabulous necklace would be just the amount of effort for Meryl to put in to be a shining star on the red carpet.

Michelle Williams is the other actress I wish would put a little more effort in on the red carpet. She always looks so awkward on the red carpet, even when she is wearing Chanel and Dior Couture. Well if she can buck up some presence, I would love to see her wear this archive Chanel Couture gown from spring 2009. I think this is everything that Michelle usually goes for full skirt, covered up top, and a bit of visual interest. I have loved this dress for quite some time. Silver sandals and some diamond bracelets would be the perfect top to this perfect look for the actress, who is nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy for her role as Marylin Monroe in the film, 'My Week With Marylin.'

Octavia Spencer, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her role in ,'The Help', is showing the world of fashion that it is okay to not be a size 2 and that curves are in. One designer that assists in helping more curvacious women dress for the red carpet is Maria Lucia Hohan, and I would just DIE if Octavia wore this one shouldered white Spring 2012 RTW gown. This gown paired with a silver clutch and sandals, paired with some amazing statement turquoise jewelery would help Octavia keep all eyes on her as she continues on her mission.

Rooney Mara is the actress that most are calling, an "Audrey-bot", meaning that she goes from wearing her dark robotic style clothes to looking elegant and classy wearing gowns and dresses that a modern day Audrey Hepburn would wear. Well, for the 2012 Golden Globes, where Rooney is nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her role in ,"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo," I would love to see Rooney in this Azzedine Alaia Fall 2011 Couture gown. It is not out of her comfort zone, but with the current look she has, it will work with it perfectly. Simple make-up with a bold red lip and a pair of black pumps would be the perfect way to style this look. To add some frost, I would recommend a short pair of diamond earring, as I am not a huge fan of big earrings when the wearer has short hair and some diamond bracelets or rings and this look would be complete.

Shailene Woodley has made a huge splash on the film scene this year. The actress who started her career in the staring role of Amy Juergens in the hit ABC Family show, 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager'. She is now being nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her work in the film, 'The Descendants.' So far, whilst promoting this film, I have not seen Shailene wear a gown. In fact, I have never seen her in one, so this will be the first event that I do and I would like it to be this mint green Jenny Packham Spring 2012 RTW gown. I love Jenny's designs, as they can go from young Hollywood royalty to actual royalty like Catherine the Duchess of Cambridge. This gown paired with a silver clutch, silver strappy sandals, and some diamonds would make the new young actress sparkle.

I love to see what Tilda Swinton brings to the red carpet because it is always different. She has huge fan bases in Alexander McQueen, Lanvin, Hadier Ackerman, and Jil Sander. For this event, I have chosen to put her in a white Jil Sander Spring 2012 RTW shirt gown. Now this is a long shot, as she did wear a Jil Sander white button down and yellow satin skirt to the 2011 Golden Globes, but still I am hoping to see her in it. A bright blue clutch and silver pumps along with some amazing diamonds would make this look perfect for me.

And last, but not least, for the 2012 Golden Globe Film Nominees is Viola Davis. Viola is a red carpet veteran, who until recently always looked really good on the red carpet, but towards the end of 2011 Viola has encountered a case of bad extenstions and you can tell that they are cheap becuase it looks like a wig that you could get at any halloween store. My first recomedation to her is obviously to go and get new extenstions, and then call up Naeem Khan and get this lime green Pre-Fall 2012 taffeta gown. I love when Viola wears these bright tropical colors because she has the skin tone for them. A silver clutch, silver sandals, and a great pair of diamond earrings would send Viola on to my best dressed list.

Don't forget to tune into the 2012 Golden Globe Awards ceremony at 8PM EST on NBC and the red carpet at 6PM on E!

2012 Palm Springs Film Festival Black Tie Awards Wish List

Charlize Theron's latest comedy, "Young Adult", is set to receive the Vanguard Award for Outstanding Creative Ensemble at the 2011 Palm Springs Film Festival Black Tie Awards Ceremony on January 7th. The actress will most likely grace the red carpet and event to help accept the award with the producers and director. For this event I have chosen to put the stunning South African actress in this black and white Lanvin Spring 2012 RTW strapless sheath dress. To add a pop of color to this simple color blocked dress, I have added a teal to aqua Kotur Spring 2012 clutch with a fun tassel embellishment and then some Christian Dior sandals with a crystal netting. The jewelery is diamond and onyx and is from the event sponsor Cartier.

Legendary actress Glen Close (Damages & 101 Dalmatians) is going to be honored this year with the Career Achievement Award at the 2011 Palm Springs Film Festival Black Tie Awards Gala. I sort of see the Palm Spring Film Festival Black Tie Awards as the unofficial kickoff of the Awards Season (the official kickoff is the Golden Globe Awards on January 15th). Even though the title of the awards is black tie, each year the women attend in the very best cocktail attire. Now as much as Glen is a talented television and film actress, she tends to fall short on the red carpet, so I have decided to be an angel and take her under my wing and give her my advice (through the blog, I mean the title of the site is IF I was a Stylist, after all) all thorough awards season. So Glen, first off, DO NOT WEAR BLACK! I was in a tossup between this stunning cobalt blue Elie Saab Spring 2012 RTW embellished dress and a black lace frock designed by Tom Ford. To ultimately send away the drab, I have given Glen this stunning blue dress. Now this dress is stunning on its own, but with the addition of a matching Arfango Spring 2012 collection clutch and Nicolas Kirkwood Spring 2012 collection satin sandals, frosted with diamonds and sapphires from the Van Cleef and Arpels archive, Glenn would shine like the successful star that she is.

Michelle Williams will be at the 2011 Palm Spring Black Tie Awards Gala as well; she'll be receiving the Desert Palm Achievement Award for Acting for her work in the film My Week With Marilyn, where Williams portrays classic Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe. Michelle, much like Glenn, needs a style intervention, so I have decided to step in and help her out. So for this event I have chosen a stunning pink with silver embroidery full skirted high-necked dress from Naeem Khan's Spring 2012 RTW collection. This dress would look so cute on the actress who tends to choose the right silhouette but wrong dress or styling. If she were to choose this dress I would die with excitement, but if she were to style this look wrong then I would probably cry. So to style this look correctly I would pair it with just these Tabitha Simmons Spring 2012 collection silver sandals. This look does not need extra diamonds or a bag, she just needs to let the dress to the talking and keeping it simple.

Octavia Spencer is set to receive the Breakthrough Performance Award at this years Palm Springs Film Festival Black Tie awards Gala. The actress most known for her role as Minny Jackson in the hit film "The Help" and has become quite the diva on the red carpet. Octavia has stuck to her go to designer, Tadashi Shoji, for all of her red carpet appearances to date and I have as well, but do not think that that is how I am going to stay all awards season if she continues her nominations. For this event, I have chosen this Tadashi Shoji Spring 2012 RTW taupe dress which has a tulle overlay that creates texture over the floral embellished sheath underneath. To accessorize this look I would pair it with a Marchesa Spring 2012 collection gold crystal encrusted clutch, strappy gold Rupert Sanderson sandals, and jewelery from the sponsor of the event Cartier. I hope to see her on the red carpet a lot this season wearing a plethora of gowns that would look amazing on her
