2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards: Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Nominee Wish List

As I have continually said Brie Larson is my breakout star this awards season and I am excited to see what she is going to continue to wear on the red carpet's all the way through the Academy Awards. After the Critics Choice Awards tomorrow night the next stop on the race to the Oscars are the Screen Actors Guild Awards which are a week from tomorrow on January 31, 2016. Brie is a front runner to take home the SAG Award and I am hoping she dresses to fit that possibility. I picked this black Marchesa Pre-Fall 2016 gown rendered in beaded lace with tulle and features a column silhouette with a scalloped square neckline, a fitted bodice, and tiered ruffles along the skirt. I think that this is a romantic look for Brie who has been wearing a lot of more modern glam type of look on the red carpet and honestly I think it would compliment the green patinaed bronze SAG statue that she has a great possibility of taking home. Finish this look with sleek hair, a black satin clutch, and a pair of gold sandals and Brie will have a perfect SAG Awards red carpet look.
I am hoping that Cate Blanchett shows up on the SAG Awards red carpet and makes me say wow again. I haven't had a moment where I have said WOW when Cate shows up on the red carpet in a very long time and I am ready to have that moment again. I picked this blue and purple oil slick Armani Prive Fall 2015 Couture strapless sequined gown for Cate as I think that this is something I have never seen from her before and I really think that this gown is perfect for her. I tend to like when Cate wears darker colors as they pop against her alabaster skin tone and I can just picture the contrast of this gown on her glowing skin. My only downside of this gown is it reminds me a bit of the Dior Couture gown that Jennifer Lawrence wore to the SAG Awards in 2014, so that could deter Cate from wearing this gown for the SAG Awards this year. But alas I am still hopeful. A navy blue clutch, a pair of navy peep toe pumps, dazzling multicolored tanzanite and diamond Chopard drop earrings, & a smokey eye would ensure that Cate makes my jaw drop when on her arrival at the SAG Awards.
Helen Mirren is a double nominee at the 2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture for The Woman In Gold and Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for Trumbo. I am excited to see what Helen is going to wear on the red carpet as she is usually so extremely elegant. I can totally picture Helen wearing this ink blue Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2016 long sleeve lace bodice and silk fit and flare skirt. This gown shows off Helen's twins which she defies societal norms of putting them away at almost 80, but I say if you look that good at her age then you should flaunt it too. A pair of Harry Winston diamond and sapphire pendant earrings, a navy clutch, a pair of navy pumps, and a red lip would ensure that Helen makes sure everyone knows she is a double nominee and don't you forget it.
I have been on an up and down roller coaster with Saoirse Ronan with her red carpet style, but I am hoping that after her Golden Globe Awards red carpet triumph and coming off her Academy Award nomination that her red carpet style will stay on top form. I would love to see Saoirse wearing something a little more fun on the red carpet like this nude Rodarte Fall 2015 RTW embroidered and feather embellished gown. There are not many women that I can picture wearing this gown and not getting overwhelmed and Saoirse is one of the few who I can. Saoirse knows how to make more complicated avant garde red carpet styles work off the runway and on the red carpet. With such a complicated gown the styling really should be kept simple with a pair of champagne colored peep toe pumps, fresh faced makeup, and a chic updo so her hair won't compete with the feathers on the shoulders. All that would make this a look that I could fall in love with.

2016 Critics Choice Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 2

I was underwhelmed (as per usual) by Eva Green on the Golden Globes red carpet this past weekend (even though she was wearing Elie Saab Couture) and I am going to give her one more chance to redeem herself at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night. Nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her Showtime series Penny Dreadful I would love to see Eva wearing some color on the red carpet so that mean she would most likely wear a jewel tone so why not this ruby red Jenny Packham Resort 2016 batwing beaded gown? I think that the relaxed glamour of this silhouette (and it's color being one that Eva prefers) is exactly what I would love to see Eva wearing on the Critics Choice red carpet. Where this look that the potential to go bad is in the styling. A pair of black sandals, old Hollywood waves, a red lip, and a pair of diamond drop earrings would ensure that Eva has a top notch look on the Critics Choice Awards red carpet.
We haven't seen Hayden Panettiere on the red carpet in a hot minute and I am interested to see if she is going to show up at the Critics Choice Awards this weekend where she is nominated for Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for the hit ABC show Nashville. This would be Hayden's first major red carpet since she gave birth and what better platform to show off a rocking post-baby body? I think that this lemon yellow Naeem Khan Spring 2016 RTW twisted halter silk chiffon gown would look amazing on Hayden for this red carpet. I love that the bodice is fitted and flares out ethereally from the hips. A chic classic silhouette in a bold color is a perfect way to get back into the red carpet game. Finish this look with a pair of gold sandals, a yellow clutch, and a pair of yellow diamond earrings to ensure that Hayden has a beautiful red carpet look at the Critics Choice Awards.
The ever elegant Helen Mirren is nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Critics Choice Movie Awards thanks to her work on the film Trumbo. I always find delight in Helen's formal red carpet ensembles and I am sure that her gown for the Critics Choice Awards. I picked this navy blue and black Akris Pre-Fall 2016 a-line embellished sleeveless gown for Helen to wear on the red carpet. Akris is not usually a brand that we see Helen wearing on the red carpet but I think that this gown would look amazing on her. I would imagine that Helen would have navy blue sheer sleeves added to this look to make it a little more sophisticated for her. If Helen finished this look with a pair of diamond and sapphire earrings, a navy clutch, navy pumps, and a red lip this could possibly be one of my favorite looks from the 70 year old actress.
Jennifer Lawrence delivered her best ever look on the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards this past week so I have a high expectation for her at the Critics Choice Awards. The actress, who won the Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical/Comedy at the Globes, is nominated for Best Actress and Best Actress in a Comedy for Joy and Best Actress in an Action Movie for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 and I am really hoping she wow's me. I picked this gold Cushnie Et Ochs Pre-Fall 2015 "Zahara" draped silk charmuse gown for JLaw to wear for the Critics red carpet. While not as impact making as her red Dior Couture from the Globes this gown is chic and elegant, with a dash of refined glamour which is perfect for the Critics Choice Awards red carpet. Keeping the look ever glamorous with a pair of yellow diamond drop earrings, a gold clutch, a pair of gold sandals, chic waves, and a fresh face of makeup will ensure that Jennifer keeps up a great red carpet streak.
Finally for today is my wish for Critics Choice Award nominee for Best Supporting Actress, and Golden Globe Award winning, Kate Winslet. I tend to get bored of Kate on the red carpet. She has a very cut and dry standard of wearing fitted looks on the red carpet (which she strays from very rarely) and I don't see that changing anytime soon. With that in mind I would still very much love to see Kate wear this emerald Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2016 double face duchesse satin strapless gown which features a mermaid silhouette with a structured bodice and a curved neckline. It has been a hot minute since I remember seeing Kate wearing a Zac Posen gown which surprises me because their red carpet MO's are the same. Keep the look chic with old Hollywood waves over one shoulder, a red lip, diamond drop earrings, and a pair of dyed to match pumps would ensure that Kate doesn't bore me on the red carpet.

2016 Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala Red Carpet Rundown

2016 Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala Red Carpet
Awards season 2016 officially kicked off on Saturday night with the red carpet of the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala. Some of the stars brought it, like Cate Blanchett in Marc Jacobs and Brie Larson in Jason Wu, while others fell flat, like Rooney Mara in Lanvin and Amber Heard in Dolce & Gabbana, and Saoirse Ronan was all kinds of crazy in Duro Olowu. This red carpet did just enough to keep me wanting more. I will be tweeting out outfits from the People's Choice Awards on Wednesday night and then I will be live-tweeting the Golden Globes red carpet and show with my partner in snark Kelly from Dream In Lace. I will also be posting to Instagram and Snapchat (@futurestylist93 on both), so make sure you are following along there! Happy awards season everyone, hopefully lots of glamour and just a little fug are in our future.

2016 Golden Globe Awards: Best Performance by an Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Nominees Wish List

I have had some people in my past say that I don't get excited for the women over 40 as much as I do for the young starlets. While I can say that I usually find women over 40 have found their style and usually stick to it, tried and true, there are quite a few of the older women in Hollywood that I just wait with bated breath to see on the red carpet. Two of them are featured in this post and of the other two I don't know much about her style and the other knows how to throw impact mixed with her tried and true. At 70, Helen Mirren still knows how to work it. I am hoping thought that come the 2016 Golden Globe Awards next Sunday that Helen doesn't stick to her love of all things Dolce & Gabbana. I have seen her wearing enough of those lace cocktail and evening dresses to last me a lifetime. I picked this indigo micro pleated J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2016 which features lace sleeves and a lace back. I think that this look personifies sophisticated sexy and that is what Helen loves to bring to the red carpet. While I do think that Helen should have just an inch or two of the plunging neckline raised, I still think that she could rock this look better than some of her 20 something counterparts. Finished with a pair of black Ferragamo satin peep toe pumps and diamond cluster earrings this would be a major moment, of something different, for Helen on this red carpet.
Name one other celebrity who at almost 80 still rocks the red carpet in amazing high label designer creations that are borrowed or custom made for her from the likes of Cavalli, Versace, Valentino, Balmain, and Saint Laurent. I can't think of anyone other than the beautiful and sexy Jane Fonda, who at 78 shows women more than half her age how its truly done. While I was not a fan of the looks that she wore while promoting her film Youth, which earned her a nomination, I am still excited to see what Jane is going to bring to the red carpet. There were many options that I could have gone with as the first look I would love to see Jane wearing, and I love when sexy Jane comes out to play, but ultimately I went with this metallic copper Ralph & Russo Fall 2015 Couture long sleeve gown which features an embellished lace blouse and a pleated skirt. This gown offers elegance and a refined sophisticated chic that I know Jane could pull off. Styled with a copper Roger Vivier clutch and a pair of copper peep toe pumps this look would be perfect for the Golden Globes red carpet.
It is The Hateful Eight's Jennifer Jason Leigh that I am interested to see in what direction she takes her red carpet dressing. I am not so sure about how she will go because I haven't seen much of her on the red carpets, I didn't even see her at the films premiere. I know that she ill probably pick a refined moment for this red carpet as we haven't seen her in a gown yet, but with all the heavy hitters that she is nominated with she is going to have to learn how to step up her game. I picked this azure blue and white Monique Lhuillier Spring 2016 RTW guipure lace bodice and crepe skirt for Jennifer to wear on the Globes red carpet. I honestly just picked a chic run of the mill dress for Jennifer because I don't know who she is on the red carpet yet. I would hope that if she wore something like this that she would accessorize with a blue Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver pumps, and a pair of diamond and sapphire earrings and finish out with old Hollywood waves and a red lip to ensure that she has a beautiful moment on the red carpet that will hopefully keep me interested.
Last but not least for the Motion Picture nominees is Kate Winslet who is nominated for her supporting role in the film Steve Jobs. Kate has a tried and true method of red carpet dressing. It is usually black and always fitted from a bevy of her designer friends. I am hoping that next Saturday that Kate takes a little step outside of her box and wears this intricately beaded Jenny Packham Spring 2016 RTW cap sleeve gown. Kate is not usually one to go for something that is so busy but I think that in a favored silhouette and brand of hers (she has worn similar shaped Jenny Packham gowns before) that she should take the risk. I think that by making such an embellished statement is something that Kate really would shine wearing. A chic faux bob, a red lip, a black clutch, a pair of black pumps, & a pair of diamond cluster earrings would all add the perfect punctuation to this look.

will be live tweeting the Golden Globe Awards red carpet with my partner in snark Kelly from Dream In Lace on Sunday January 8, 2016 starting a 6pm. Make sure you check out Kelly's blog and then follow us both (@DreamInLace and @FutureStylist93) on Twitter. Join in on the snark and the fashion of the first major awards show of the year!

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.

2015 London Film Festival: "Trumbo" Premiere Wish List

Elle Fanning actually wowed me on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival and I am hoping that her wonderful red carpet mojo will travel across the pond for the 2015 London Film Festival and the premiere of "Trumbo." I picked this beautiful gold Elie Saab Fall 2015 Couture princess ball gown with its intricate embroidery for her to wear for her big night. This beautiful gown deserves a red carpet moment and I believe that Elle is absolutely the perfect person to give this gown its outing. Finish this look with a top bun, dewy make-up, and gold sandals and Elle will have another amazing red carpet look on her hands.
I figure it will be a custom Dolce & Gabbana or Badgley Mischka gown on the London Film Festival red carpet premiere of "Trumbo" for Helen Mirren. As much as I love those brands and Helen I lust for something more from the 70 year old actress. I picked this Jacques Azagury Fall 2015 Couture silk brocade cap sleeve structured gown for her to wear. This is a gown suitable for a red carpet queen, which is exactly what Helen is. I believe that this gown paired with a red lip, navy Ferragamo pumps, diamond & sapphire cluster earrings, and a blue silk clutch would be a beautiful welcome moment for Helen on this red carpet.

#TIFF2015: "Trumbo" & "The Lobster" Premieres Wish List

Hi everyone! I am sorry yet again for neglecting the site. I have a bunch of stuff in drafts that is ready to be written but with my move of homes and then my move back to and starting my senior semester of college I have just been so busy that I haven't really had a chance to do any writing. I will keep on top of things for the rest of the year from here on out. Lots of big things coming up in the next few weeks and I am excited to be able to share my thoughts on them with you. The Toronto International Film Festival is one of these events and I am excited to see Elle Fanning is on the excepted stars to appear list for her film "Trumbo." Elle's style has been slowly growing on me, although she is still hit or miss I find myself liking more and more of her choices as she grows up. For this premiere I would love to see Elle wear this sweet Giambattista Valli Fall 2015 RTW floral organza ruffled cocktail dress which features a sheath silhouette with a ruffled mock neck, a floral lace appliqued bib, & flared cuffs. I think this 60s mod style dress is perfect for a 17 year old actress. Finished with a pair of pink pumps & pulled back hair this could be a hit for Elle's red carpet portfolio.
At 70 Helen Mirren still knows how to bring the sexy to the red carpet in a chic and sophisticated way. I am looking forward to seeing what her offerings at the Toronto International Film Festival will be. I picked this indigo Cushnie et Ochs Resort 2016 long sleeve fit and flare dress with a rounded neckline and ankle length hemline. I think that despite being so covered that this dress just exudes sophisticated sex appeal and Helen would make this look just as sultry as the model. A pair of black peep or pointed toe pumps and a pair of diamond cluster earring would ensure that Helen delivers on the "Trumbo" premiere red carpet.
Lea Seydoux is going to be a very busy woman on the promotional tours this fall. "The Lobster," which first premiered at Cannes in May, and "Spectre" are both going to have a lot of stops for the French actress. If anyone can handle the pressure of delivering good look after good look it is definitely going to be Lea. Mostly loyal to Prada and Miu Miu, I am hoping that Lea will step out in other designers as well. Recently if Lea hasn't worn Prada/Miu Miu she has been spotted out in Elie Saab. I am hoping that Lea chooses this tea length Elie Saab Fall 2015 Couture embroidered and embellished sleeveless gown for the TIFF premiere of "The Lobster." I think that this elegant offering would look so chic on the French actress who has the grace and elegance to make this look 5x more chic that it was on the runway. A pair of gold Prada sandals and a pink lip would finish this sweet look off perfectly for Lea, who has the potential to win Best Promo Tour, Red Carpet Diva, & Best Brand Ambassador come the End of the Year Style Awards in December.
Rachel Weisz is another that is either hit or miss for me on the red carpet. Her photocall looks at Cannes were amazing but the looks that she picked for the red carpets were just a little lackluster. I would love to see Rachel wearing this dusty rose Balenciaga Resort 2016 strapless midi cocktail dress with flocked detail on the bodice. This simple silhouette is perfect for a red carpet look for Rachel as she is one who doesn't like a fussy red carpet ensemble. Finished with a pair of simple silver sandals, a pair of cluster diamond earrings and a chic updo and Rachel will slay the TIFF red carpet. 

Be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook during the 2015 Venice Film Festival, which runs from September 2 to September 12, to keep on top of all the looks that come down the red carpet.

#Cannes2015: L'Oreal Ladies Freida Pinto, Helen Mirren & Jane Fonda Wish List

I am just going to leave this here to remember what could have been since I have been informed that due to scheduling conflicts that Indian beauty Freida Pinto will not be making her L'Oreal Spokesmodel appearance on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. Let us have a moment of silence for the major fashion moments that will never happen in part of this conflict.
While Freida Pinto is going to be MIA this year, we might have the first appearance from newly signed L'Oreal Paris spokesmodel Helen Mirren. I absolutely love when I get to see Helen Mirren on the red carpet because she knows how to werk a red carpet even at the prime age of 69. I absolutely adore the British stars red carpet sartorial style, its elegant and age appropriate yet very sexy. The first look that I would love to see Helen wear on the red carpet during the Cannes Film Festival  is this stunning nude Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture long sleeved embellished beaded lace ball gown. This would be the epitome of defying age. I think that Helen would look absolutely stunning wafting down the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals in this creation. I would have the skirt lined to remove the sheer see though leggy interpretation. Helen loves herself a Dolce & Gabbana frock for a red carpet ensemble and I am sure that at least one look that Helen will wear on the red carpet will come from the Dolce & Gabbana atelier. I picked this yellow and green floral embroidered gown for Helen to wear, which is more appropriate for a party and not the main red carpet but I believe that Helen will most likely wear a custom creation for the Cannes red carpet.
Helen Mirren is up against some red carpet completion as Cannes veteran Jane Fonda, at the age of 77, for Best Dressed Lady From Over the Hill. I am excited to see what Jane is going to bring, despite the ugly Donna Karan gown that she wore to the White House Correspondents Dinner, especially after the killer ruby red Elie Saab couture gown at last years festival. The first look that I picked that I would love to see Jane wear for the Cannes Film Festival is this purple, bubble gum, and white abstract thistle print Schiaparelli Spring 2014 Couture off the shoulder long sleeved gown. I think that this gown is perfection for this red carpet because it is bold yet elegant and perfect for a red carpet on the French Riviera. The final look for today's with list is this amazing fitted Zac Posen Fall 2015 RTW long sleeved gown that would show off the actresses famous curves and be sexy and age appropriate. 

The Cannes Film Festival is now just 15 days out and the red carpet will be packed with stars. Who are you most looking forward to seeing?

2015 Golden Globe Awards: Amy, Emily, Emma, Felicity, Helen, & JenniferWish List

Amy Adams is nominated at the 2015 Golden Globe Awards, which are one week from tomorrow, for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy thanks to her role in Tim Burton's "Big Eyes." I am sooooooo excited to see what she will wear on the red carpet. I am also sure that since Amy won the same award last year for "American Hustle" that she will be on hand as a presenter at the awards next Sunday. It might be a stretch, mostly because it is similar to the Valentino gown she wore last year, but I would love to see Amy wear this J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2015 burnt orange lurex chiffon gown with a deep v-neck. I think that this gown is a sexy look for Amy who tends to favor more classic elegant looks. The burnt orange color would just electrify me as I love when the red headed actress wears red tone colors on the red carpet. Finish the look with a bronze and gold Jimmy Choo 'Mosaic' clutch, a pair of bronze Gucci 'Taryn' sandals, and a simple updo Amy will channel Studio 54 and old Hollywood glamour to provide the perfect punch to the golden globes red carpet.
Emily Blunt, much like Amy Adams, is nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy. Emily earned her nomination for playing the Baker's Wife in the musical sensation "Into The Woods." I have to say that I am really excited to see what Emily will be wearing for her red carpet run this awards season. Emily has just blossomed into this amazing red carpet star since her breakout season promoting "The Devil Wears Prada" back in 2006. Red is always a big color for the red carpet and I am so excited to see the many shades take to the red carpet. I picked this stunning Marchesa Pre-Fall 2015 embroidered v-neck tulle ball gown in a shade of deep red which would make major red carpet statement. Amy hasn't had a major Marchesa moment in a long time and I think that it is time to change that. Some rubies and diamonds laid in yellow gold in her ears and on her wrist as well as a pair of gold Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals in gold would be the perfect accessories for Emily and this gown. Finish the look with an elegant updo and a red lip to ensure that all eyes are on Emily and that she makes best dressed list everywhere.
Emma Stone is always a favorite when she takes to the red carpet. I am excited to see the actress who's role in "Birdman" has earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture. The last time Emma walked the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards was back in 2012 wearing custom Lanvin and that gown landed on my Best Dressed of the Year list that year. I am expecting a moment on the same level come the 2015 Golden Globes next Sunday night. I am just putting red heads in all the colors that I love to see them in. Emma should rock this amazing Ralph Lauren Spring 2015 RTW canary yellow tulle ballgown with a portrait neckline. It would be hard to top the ultimate Ralph Lauren/Golden Globes red carpet moment of Lupita Nyong'o in her red caped gown from last year but I think that this stunning confection would totally be able to do that. Simple earrings, old Hollywood waves, and gold sandals would ensure that Emma is a bright ray of sunshine on the 2015 Golden Globe Awards red carpet.
Felicity Jones really showed up when it came to her "The Theory of Everything " promo tour and now that she has a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama thanks to the film I am excited to see what she will bring to the red carpets during awards season. For the Golden Globes I picked this Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2015 champagne silk tulle rise and fall hem gown completely covered in ivory scroll embroidery. Felicity really works the 1950s and 1960s inspired looks when it comes to her red carpet dressing, a real classic beauty, which is exactly what this dress is. I could picture this dress on Audrey Hepburn has she been in her prime in this day in age. Finish the look with a pair of simple gold sandals, a chic updo, a pink lip, and simple diamond dazzlers in her ears and Felicity is set to take the red carpet by storm and maybe take home a trophy.
I love to see Helen Mirren on the red carpet because the 69 year old actress, who is nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for her film "The Hundred Foot Journey," always wows me. This is going to be a big year for Helen on the red carpet. From awards season to movie premieres to fulfilling her new duties as a L'Oreal Paris ambassador at the Cannes Film Festival, we are bound to see Helen on the red carpet a lot. Helen has worn Badgley Mischka to the Golden Globe Awards a few times before and I would love to see her do so again wearing this look from the brands Pre-Fall 2015 collection. I think that this midnight blue body hugging gown with lots of crystal embroidery would look stunning on Helen. I love to see her show off her banging body. You know what the day. If you got it flaunt it, and Helen definitely has "it." A pair of black pumps and a black clutch would finish this look of with a wavy hairstyle and a bold red lip.  
Last but not least for today I give you all a wish for Jennifer Aniston. I have never really been a fan of Jennifer Aniston as she really bores me on the red carpet. I am hoping that the Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama nominee for the film "Cake" will give me something to talk about, in a good way, at the Globes next Sunday. I picked this simplistic white one shoulder gown from the Valentino New York Sala Bianca 945 collection that was presented in New York City last month to celebrate the grand reopening of the Valentino NYC flagship. This simple gown from one of Jens favorite red carpet designers and is simple. The fact that it isn't a black dress would make this a revolutionary red carpet look for Jennifer. Gold accessories and no doubt the same hairstyle and natural makeup will finish this look off for a bit of a step out of Jennifer's box for the Golden Globes red carpet. 

If you want to join the conversation I will be joining Kelly from Dream In Lace with a live Twitter commentary on what all the stars are wearing. So please join me (@FutureStylist93) and Kelly (@DreamInLace) at about 5 PM EST for all kinds of fashion ID's and LOTS of snarky commentary.

Runway Report: Alexis Mabille Spring 2014 Couture

Alexis Mabille was one of my absolute favorite collections presented during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. The collection was elegant and classic and stripped down, which made it all about the 23 looks. 1 cocktail dress, 1 jumpsuit/coat ensemble, and 21 gowns made up the glamorous collection which saw models slowly walking through two different salons letting editors, stylists, and clients see the stunning details on a more personal level than those of Chanel, Christian Dior, and Versace. Mint, peach, white, cream, beige, gold, grey, robins egg blue, and pastel yellow made up the looks which looked like a nod to an art deco take on the frame of a goddess. I can see the socialite clients of Alexis Mabille swarming to snatch up these looks and I am hoping that we will see a lot of this collection on the red carpet in the coming months. Bellow you see my four favorite yet to be seen on the red carpet looks.


I was most enamored with this white cape gown with a keyhole neckline and a crystal belt. Last Friday night, even though I had mentally reserved this gown for Cate Blanchett, Lady Gaga wore this gown to the Musicares Person of the Year gala honoring Carole King and looked the best that I think I have ever seen her look.

2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards: Oustanding Performance by a Female Actress in a Television Movie or Miniseries Wish List

Elisabeth Moss took home the Golden Globe last weekend for her work in 'Top of the Lake' which has also garnered her a nomination at the Screen Actors Guild Awards tomorrow night. I believe that the actress has been reinventing her red carpet style after a a year or so of being constantly on the worst dressed lists. I think that this white Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2014 gown with one slice of the bodice in beaded black would be the most elegant and event appropriate option for Elisabeth. I am in love with this gown and I am dying to see it on the red carpet. I think that Elisabeth is this perfect person to bring this gown to life on the red carpet. Finish the look with a black satin box clutch, a pair of simple black sandals, and some stunning earrings and this look will be perfect.
I have been waiting for Dame Helen Mirren to take to the red carpet during awards season wearing Elie Saab couture for forever now. This dove grey Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture might be a little bit much for this event but I am still praying that Helen will wear it for the SAG Awards tomorrow night. I have always loved when Dame Helen has worn an Elie Saab design on the red carpet and after not choosing a gown by the designer for the Globes I pray that she will tomorrow. Add a silver clutch, a pair of silver pumps, and some simple vintage Fred Leighton jewels and Helen will be on the Best Dressed list at the SAG Awards.

2014 Golden Globe Awards: Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television Wish List

Dame Helen Mirren is nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-Series or Movie made for Television for her HBO movie 'Phil Spector' at the Golden Globe Awards next Sunday I love this woman because even at a grand old age of 68, she still knows how to have fun on the red carpet. Last year we saw Helen cut off all her hair into a pixie cut which she dyed cotton candy pink for the BAFTA Awards and wear plexiglass platform 'stripper' heels under her Elie Saab gown for the 'Red 2' premiere in Los Angeles. With all that in mind I truly think that this purple Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2014 gown with a beaded peplum top and flowing chiffon skirt would be the perfect look for Helen for the Golden Globes. Finish the look with a simple matching purple clutch, a quirky pair of shoes, and some stunning diamonds will make sure Helen catches the worlds eyes again.
Unlike Helen Mirren, Jessica Lange takes the graceful sophisticated older approach to dressing for the red carpet, which can sometime turn out the wrong type of looks. Jessica is again nominated for her work in American Horror Story. I have chosen this ink blue Badgley Mishka Spring 2014 RTW gown wish covers up her entire body except her arms. The simple design comes with a beaded patch on each shoulder to add a little dazzle to the look for Jessica. Jessica is one who likes to keep it simple on the red carpet when it comes to styling. I'd finish this look off with a pair of black Salvatore Ferragamo satin peep toe pumps and a statement cuff (like it was paired with on the runway) to complete this stunning ensemble.
