2015 Hollywood Film Awards Wish List Part 2

Amber Heard is among the presenters that will be in attendance at the 2015 Hollywood Film Awards tomorrow night and I have to say that I am quite interested to see what she will wear. After a year or so of looks that I really loathed I am starting to lover Amber's red carpet choices again and tomorrow is the early kick off to the 2016 Awards Season so I am interested in seeing what she is going to wear to kick it all off. I picked this black Blumarine Spring 2016 RTW rose embellished cocktail dress that features a square neck with a bustier-style bodice, jeweled rose details that wrap around the shoulders, and a midi length a-line skirt with a draped panel at one side because I think that Amber loves a vintage inspired moment and this is such a classic dress that there is no way that she can go wrong. It is not really her night and I think that this dress is the perfect balance for a presenter. A pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals and a black Edie Parker clutch are the perfect accessories for this dress. Completed with old Hollywood waves and a red lip and Amber will be sexy as ever for this red carpet appearance.

I am not 100% certain that Jada Pinkett Smith will be on the Hollywood Film Awards red carpet tomorrow night, but since her hubby Will Smith is receiving the Hollywood Actor Award I figure she will. Jada plays the part of the perfect plus one very wall and I am quite interested to see what she will wear to support Will. Jada was front row at the Balmain Spring 2016 RTW presentation and I would love to see Jada wearing this menswear inspired sexy jumpsuit. I love the cutout sweetheart neckline and the sheer lattice panel on this jumpsuit I think it says "I am a boss woman and I am a force to be reckoned with" which is exactly what Jada is. A pair of sexy black strappy sandals, a gold clutch, the runway belt, and a red lip are all that Jada will need to ensure that she is going to kill this red carpet and support her husband in top form.

Channing Tatum is part of the Hollywood Ensemble Award winning cast of Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight and wife Jena Dewan Tatum is almost always right by his side when he steps out on the red carpet and I am sure that she will be there tomorrow night at the Hollywood Film Awards. I picked this black Zuhair Murad long sleeve gown which features sheer detailing on the sequin zebra-like bodice and thigh high slit. This is a chic glamorous and sexy moment which is perfect for Jena as Channing's plus one to this moment. What better way to show support for your husband receiving a Hollywood Film Award than to show up looking like a bombshell. Finish the look with a chic updo, a red lip, a black clutch, and a pair of black strappy sandals to really make this a bombshell red carpet ensemble.

Reese Witherspoon will be attending the Hollywood Film Awards tomorrow night as a presenter and I am excited to see what she will wear for her first big red carpet after this past awards season. I decided to go with a classic look with a twist for this red carpet. I love this 1950's inspired Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2016 RTW cocktail dress with an abstract painterly eggplant brushstroke print which features a full skirt with triple inverted pleats at front and back and decorative buttons at shoulder straps and center back. I think that this dress is a beautiful moment and I am sure that in some capacity we will see it on a red carpet and I think that Reese would look absolutely lovely in this gown. A pair of black strappy sandals, a silver clutch, and 50's inspired beauty would ensure that this is a perfect look for the Hollywood Film Awards red carpet.

"Brooklyn" star Saoirse Ronan is going to be honored tomorrow night at the Hollywood Film Awards with the New Hollywood Awards and I honestly can not wait to see what the edgy Irish-American actress is going to rock on the red carpet. Saoirse has a liking for edgy styles when she dresses for the red carpet with favorite brands like Lanvin, Chanel, and Proenza Schouler it is no mystery why she is one to watch when it comes to red carpet dressing. I would love to see her embrace bold color with this noir/jade J. Mendel Spring 2016 RTW blurred floral embroidered organza gown. I love the color and the draping in this gown and I know it is going to be a major moment on the red carpet when it happens and I believe that on Saoirse that this would jet to the top of best dressed lists everywhere. 

Who are you most looking forward to seeing on the Hollywood Film Awards red carpet?

2014 Hollywood Film Awards: Guest Wish List Part 2

 Angelina Jolie will be on hand tomorrow night at the Hollywood Film Awards which will kick off her Oscar campaign. The actress and director is, at least on paper, a shoe-in for a Best Picture and Best Director nomination at the 2015 Academy Awards for her film "Unbroken" that will premiere later this year. I am very excited because when Angie is nominated she knows how to be on point. I figure that will be the case when she shows up for the Hollywood Film Awards tomorrow night. I have saved this white Atelier Versace Spring 2014 Couture long sleeve gown which features silver beading and an open cut out back. I am sure that we will see Mrs Jolie-Pitt in more than one look from Atelier Versace as she has such a good relationship with the house, and they almost always make red carpet magic together. The collections signature headscarf would be removed as it just does not suit Angie; and a pair of white Saint Laurent pumps would be added to ensure that this is a perfect red carpet ensemble for Mrs Jolie.

 With a slight misstep in Antonio Berardi at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences Governors Awards this past Saturday, I am hoping that at the Hollywood Film Awards Hilary Swank will be back to her best as she really has been on a roll this year. I think that this Marchesa Resort 2015 pale coral sleeveless silk crepe cocktail dress that features a gathered neckline with draped rose detail at shoulder, peplum waist, and a slim-fit knee-length skirt with side slit accent would be the most elegant and glamorous choice for Hilary to make for this occasion. Stars show up in everything from short to long dresses for this event and I am figuring more stars will opt for shorter dresses this year. A pair of metallic gold pumps, a metallic gold box clutch, and a simple updo will finish this look off perfectly for Hilary for the Hollywood Film Awards red carpet.

 Janelle Monae will be on hand at the 2014 Hollywood Film Awards as the house performer for the evening. The R&B/Soul singer is known for her masculine style of dressing always working a variation of the pantsuit for the red carpet. I am a firm believer in personal style but I am hoping for something a little more modern from Janelle at the Hollywood Film Awards tomorrow night. It is for that reason that I picked this look from the Alexander Wang Spring 2015 RTW collection. The look which consists of a double face compact cotton cropped jacked with knit mesh belt, white couture cotton tee, and double weave crepe high waisted referee pants with a mesh stripe down the side. I think that this is a sleeker look than Janelle usually rocks, as her looks usually consist of ruffled shirts. Her signature broach could be worn on the lapel of the jacket; add a pair of metallic silver Saint Laurent pumps and a bold red lip and this look is performance ready.

 Keira Knightley, like many of the other ladies preparing for a slew of awards nominations, has been 100% on point recently and I am excited to see what she will bring to the red carpet tomorrow night at the 2014 Hollywood Film Awards. I personally really want to see Keira wear some color (other than black, deep blue, and gold) so I went back to the Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture collection and picked this raspberry red long sleeved floral embellished cocktail dress which hits just below the knee. I love the vintage 1950s feel that this dress gives off and I think that Keira would inject some sexy modernity into this classic dress. A pair of gold sandals and a sleek hairstyle would ensure that Keira has the perfect red carpet look for the Hollywood Film Awards.

2014 Hollywood Film Awards: Guest Wish List Part 1

Prior to kicking off a promo tour for her 2015 Awards Season contender "Big Eyes" Amy Adams will be on hand at the inaugural television premiere of the Hollywood Film Awards. As this is the first televised awards show of awards season I am expecting that we will have some major red carpet moments on Friday. This Giambattista Valli Fall 2014 Couture white cocktail dress that features stunning floral embroidery on the bodice and the start of the skirt is perfect for Amy. I would obviously have the skirt lined for Amy. Pair the dress with a gold clutch, purple pumps, a soft updo, and a light pink lip to ensure that this is a perfect look to kick off awards season.

Yesterday Julianne Moore kicked off the "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" promo tour in London and I am sure will be jetting around the world premiering the movie, but on Friday she will be on hand at the Hollywood Film Awards as a presenter. I would love to see Julianne wear this simple yet chic Valentino Fall 2014 Couture tea length black cocktail dress. The chic modern lines and sexy cutouts will help Julianne in her efforts to defy aging, at 53 she rocks the red carpet with more confidence than some half her age. Statement earrings in bold colored stones. a black clutch, and simple black sandals would finish this look perfectly.

I don't know what has been in the water that Kristen Stewart has been drinking but she needs to keep drinking it because she has never looked better! I am praying that this stunning run will continue at the Hollywood Film Awards on Friday. As a face, and long time fan, of Chanel I am expecting that KStew will break out a look from the label for this red carpet appearance. I think that this black and white abstract print cocktail from the Chanel Spring 2015 RTW collection would be a perfect choice for the edgy star to make. This mini-dress, the only kind Kristen cares for, is sexy yet sophisticated and I think that it would look great on Kristen. A pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps and a red pout would add the perfect touches, oh and of course that signature KStew attitude, to make this the perfect red carpet ensemble for the Hollywood Film Awards.

Up last but not least for today I have this look for Reese Witherspoon to wear at the 2014 Hollywood Film Awards on Friday. The "Wild" actress is looking at a possible Oscar nomination and I am sure that because of that Reese will no doubt be on full form from here until that Academy Awards at the end of February. This stunning Giambattista Valli Spring 2015 RTW white organza crepe ankle length gown with a keyhole and organza crepe leaf skirt would be perfect. While I have picked cocktail dresses for the most part for the stars confirmed this gown would not make Reese overdressed as it is simplistic in style. I would have Reese style her hair in sleek old Hollywood waves and don a hot pink lip for the perfect beauty touches for this look. Finishing with a silver box clutch and a pair of hot pink sandals to ensure that Reese has a perfect look for the Hollywood Film Awards on Friday night!

2014 Hollywood Film Awards: Hostess Queen Latifah Wish List

It has been a very long time since we have seen Queen Latifah out on a red carpet. Well on Friday the Queen will host the television debut of the Hollywood Film awards. Having several hosting experiences under her belt; the People Choice Awards, the Grammy Awards, and her own talk show The Queen Latifah Show are just some of the shows on her hosting resume. When it comes to her style she defiantly knows how to clean up and I am expecting some stunning red carpet moments at the Hollywood Film Awards. On the red carpet prior to the start of the telecast I would love to see Queen Latifah wear this stunning white Zuhair Murad Fall 2014 Couture long sleeved gown with an embroidered bodice. This gown would hug all of Queen Latifah's famous curves and put her on the same level of dressing as the honorees and presenters. To start the show I would have Queen Latifah change into this jade colored Georges Chakra Spring 2015 RTW embellished one shoulder gown with a sexy thigh high split. Georges and Latifah have had a good relationship in the past and I am betting that at least one look during the night is designed by him. Finally we have this stunning sunshine yellow Jenny Packham Resort 2015 chiffon gown. I think that this gown is more flowy than the other gowns that I have picked but would imagine that this would look stunning as Queen Latifah works the stage for her hostess duties.

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.
