2015 Gotham Independent Film Awards Red Carpet Wish List

Brie Larson is most likely going to be working the red carpets from the Gotham Independent Film Awards tomorrow night all the way to the Oscars at the end of February thanks to her performance in the film Room. I have slowly been getting into Brie's style as she has been trying to find her style over the past year and she has been killing the red carpets lately. For tomorrow nights Gotham Independent Film Awards, where Brie is nominated for Best Actress, I would love to see her wearing this black leather Alexander McQueen Resort 2016 floral embroidered sleeveless a-line dress. Gotham is usually a more laid back awards show, so no big gowns needed. This is a pretty dress and I think quite event appropriate. I would style this look with a pair of red pumps to just take this look to another level and ensure that Brie keeps going things great on her Oscar campaign.

Queen Cate seems to have lost her crown recently as she has not been giving me WOW moment after WOW moment and I am hoping that as she kicks off awards season that she will be back on point. Tomorrow night's Gotham Independent Film Awards, where Cate is nominated for Best Actress thanks to her performance in Carol, that she makes a major impact. Cate has been experimenting with different types of looks and I really want her to just go back to the old Hollywood glamour with a twist that made me fall in love with her. I picked this Marc Jacobs Spring 2016 RTW ensemble which consists of a three quarter length sleeve embroidered jacket paired with silk pants. This is a different look for Cate but still along that classic style that she would go for. I am hoping that she really gives me something that I can say WOW to tomorrow. Finish the look with a red lip, black Louboutin pumps, wavy faux bob, and diamond cluster earrings to ensure that this look is styled to perfection.

Helen Mirren is being honored tomorrow night with a Tribute Award at the Gotham Independent Film Awards. Helen will either wear Dolce & Gabbana or Badgley Mischka and I am guessing it is going to be the former, I am just hoping that it isn't another lace or floral dress as I am really getting tired of seeing Helen in those Dolce looks. I picked this Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2016 RTW dress which features a full skirted 50's silhouette and a mikado brushstroke print. This is a look that Helen has done before but with a new print which would make it less deja vu than any other look that she could pull from this collection. Finishing the look with a pair of gold pumps and a red lip will keep that pretty 50's vibe that this dress commands.

Kristen Wiig is also nominated for Best Actress tomorrow at the Gotham Independent Film Awards and I am intrigued to see what she is going to wear. Kirsten is one that I can never really predict what she is going to show up in. At the gala premiere of The Martian at the New York Film Festival Kristen shocked me wearing an Oscar de la Renta Spring 2016 RTW strapless cocktail dress with a plunging neckline that I never would have even predicted that she would wear and rocked it. I am hoping that tomorrow she keeps up her good work on the red carpet. I picked this black Michael Kors Spring 2016 RTW metal grommet embellished cocktail dress. Some might think that this look is too casual for an awards show but I think that this is something that Kirsten would make look more formal than it actually is. A lot of the classing up would come through the styling. I would add a pair of black Saint Laurent sandals, a black and silver Edie Parker confetti clutch, sleek hair, and a red lip will ensure that Kristen actually gives me a beautiful look on the red carpet.

Rachel McAdams might not be nominated tomorrow at the Gotham Independent Film Awards but since her film Spotlight is nominated for Best Picture she might show up. Rachel has been having a pretty good year this year on the red carpet after letting me fall out of love with her red carpet decisions. I think I would literally die if Rachel showed up tomorrow night in this Oscar de la Renta Spring 2015 RTW sheath silhouette dress with an allover floral print, a defined contrasting waist, and a pencil skirt. I love the vintage and Spanish inspired elements of this dress and just how ladylike it would actually make this a major moment on the red carpet. I would finish this look off with a black box clutch, a pair of yellow pumps, and pink lip to just punch the look up just that much more. 

I am currently looking for feedback from my readers if you wouldn't mind taking a quick six question survey I would be greatly appreciative of that, you can take it by clicking here.

2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards: Jessica Biel & Keisha Whitaker Wish List

Jessica Biel was, sadly, supporting her husband at home during the American Music Awards, but I am hoping that at the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards the lovely couple will take to the red carpet. Justin will no doubt look dapper in a Tom Ford tuxedo and I am hoping that Mrs Timberlake will wow just alongside him. If she dons this Christian Dior Spring 2014 RTW strapless bustier and cigarette pant ensemble I think that that could be a wish easily come true. Since attending the Christian Dior Resort 2014 presentation in Monaco back in May, Jessica has donned Dior twice once a custom leather dress and then a Spring 2013 Couture cocktail dress. This look would be elegant, sophisticated, yet modern and edgy. Finish the look with a pair of black, white, and yellow Christian Dior Spring 2014 RTW pointed toe pumps, a black Christian Dior clutch, a pretty pink lip, and slicked back hair into a pony tail will make for the perfect look for this event for Jess.

Keisha Whitaker was by her husband, Forest Whitaker's, side during the 'The Butler' promo tour and I am sure that that will continue through the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards where he will receive the 2013 Tribute Award. For this event I would love to see Keisha wear this amazing powder blue Marchesa Spring 2014 RTW cocktail dress with 3-D floral embellishments. I think this dress is so sophisticated and lady like which is something that Keisha goes for when she steps out to support her husband. Finish the look with a pair of gold sandals and a gold clutch and Keisha will be the perfect arm candy.

2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards: Scarlett Johansson & Shailene Woodley Wish List

Scarlett Johansson had quite the up and down promo tour for her film 'Don Jon' which she is nominated for Best Actress for. An aqua Roland Mouret disaster in New York and too short and bland Saint Laurent in Toronto just lead to ugly looks from the star who I know has better potential than what she has. For the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards I think that this Stella McCartney Spring 2014 RTW black sheer over skirt cocktail dress would be the perfect look to help ScarJo get her sexy back. Finish the look with a blue Edie Parker clutch, a pair of black Saint Laurent sandals, and sexy old Hollywood waves swept over one shoulder and Scarlett will have the perfect sultry look for the Gotham Independent Film Awards red carpet.

Shailene Woodley has never been someone who's style I admire because she rarely looks better than alright. Even though thanks to her role in the film 'The Spectacular Now' Shailene is nominated for Best Actress at the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards. I will say even though she favors the designs of Calvin Klein, each time that Shailene has stepped out in a design from a British based brand, such as Mary Katrantzou and Christopher Kane, she has always ended up looking her best. With that in mind I thought about what to put Shailene in for this event another British designer came to mind, David Koma and this electric blue and white Spring 2014 RTW. This dress is a modern take on a classic shilouette which makes it something that I have already fallen in love with. A simple pair of blue or white sandals and her hair pulled back into a tight sleek pony tail will make for the perfect look and one that would actually see her on the best dressed lists.

2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards: Lupita Nyong'o & Rooney Mara Wish List

Lupita Nyong'o is the woman I am most looking forward to seeing take to the red carpet, aside from Queen Cate of course, at the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards. The stunning Kenyan actress has been the one to watch since she arrived on the scene at the '12 Years a Slave' premiere at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival in a custom Prada gown. Since then she has wowed in custom frocks and couture ensembles for almost all of her appearances and I am not complaining. For the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards, were Lupita is nominated for the Breakthrough Award, I would love to see her wear this amazing ruby red Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture strapless cocktail dress. This dress is elegant and I am hoping to see her wow me at this awards show. I would complete the look with the matching runway pumps, a red Edie Parker clutch, and a bold red lip to ensure that I am completely wowed.

Rooney Mara is known for her black and white looks on the red carpet and I am hoping to see her step out of that box as she represents her film 'Ain't Them Bodies Saints' which is nominated for Best Picture at the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards. This floral embroidered Balmain Spring 2014 RTW cocktail dress with a flouncey hem. I just see this dress as something that would look so elegant on Rooney and out of the box with it's pastel color scheme. A pair of silver pumps and her hair slicked back would complete this perfect look for Rooney for me.

2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards: Carey Mulligan & Cate Blanchett Wish List

The road to the 2014 Academy Awards started back in October with the 2013 Hollywood Film Awards and will continue with the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards on December 2nd. Carey Mulligan is not nominated for any awards but her film 'Inside Llewyn Davis' is nominated for Best Picture. As she isn't nominated I think that this white Elie Saab Spring 2014 RTW cocktail dress with 3/4 length sleeves and sheer panels is perfect. I have been really conflicted on Carey's style and I am hoping that I will love what she wears and if she wears this Elie Saab dress with a pair of silver sandals or pumps and simple jewels, and shock with a bold lip and I will fall off my seat in love with Carey on the Gotham Independent Film Awards red carpet.

As the first round of nominations come out I am already planning what I want to see Cate Blanchett to wear to the 2014 Academy Awards but we have a long way to go until we get there. For the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards Cate is nominated for Best Actress for her film 'Blue Jasmine,' which I am still dying to see. For this red carpet I am hoping to see the Queen of the Red Carpet wear this Andrew Gn Spring 2014 RTW one shoulder geometric black white and gold cocktail dress. I think that this dress would just stun on Cate as it is a classic silhouette but is still extremely modern and edgy. Finish the look with a gold clutch, a pair of black and gold peep toe pumps, and Cate will show why I call her the Queen.
