2014 Academy Awards: Performers Wish List

This years Academy Awards are going to be packed with musical guests. Over the past month since the nominations were announced, and one Best Original Song nominee was disqualified, a host of talented men and women have been slated to perform live on Sunday night. All of the Best Original Song nominees will be performing their nominated songs. First up is 'Let it Go' from Disney's 'Frozen.' Broadway powerhouse Idina Menzel voiced the character, Queen Elsa, for the film and will be on hand Sunday night to perform 'Let it Go,' which is my personal pick to win the Oscar. For this event I have chosen two looks from my red carpet go to designer Elie Saab. For the red carpet I am wishing that Idina will give this jade green Elie Saab Spring 2014 RTW halter neck gown with a crisscross open back the moment that it so deserves. Idina has never worn Elie Saab before and what better platform that the Academy Awards to start a blossoming relationship with the King of the Red Carpet. Finish this look with a gold Jimmy Choo 'Cosma' clutch, a pair of black and gold Jimmy Choo 'Rocks' strappy sandals, and a stunning pair of statement Cathy Waterman fire opal arabesque earrings to give Idina the red carpet statement that she deserves. For her performance of 'Let it Go' I want to give Idina her very first couture moment via this white Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture beaded and caped gown. If you have seen 'Frozen' then you might get why I picked this gown because as soon as I saw it I immediately thought of this couture creation as it is very similar to the gown that Elsa wears in the film. Performing the ballad in this number with a pair of simple silver Jimmy Choo 'Anouk' pointed toe pumps and a pair of diamond and sapphire drop earrings and Idina will kill her performance both via wardrobe and vocals.

I have never heard of Karen O before she was nominated for Best Original Song for 'The Moon Song' from the film 'Her.' I don't know what to expect from the performer when it comes to Sundays Academy Awards but by golly miss molly if I ain't gonna give her a go anyway. It seems that Karen mainly sticks to black and white on the red carpet and I think that this bateau neck Tony Ward Spring 2014 Couture gown with black detail and 3/4 length sleeves would be perfect for her to wear on the red carpet at the Academy Awards. A simple black clutch, black sandals, some simple earrings, and a bold red lip will finish off this stunning red carpet moment. To perform 'The Moon Song' I can picture Karen keeping the black sandals, simple diamond earrings, and bold red lip from her red carpet ensemble and just changing into this black Tadashi Shoji Fall 2014 RTW sleeveless gown with an embroidered bodice and chiffon skirt. I figure that Karen will most likely stand center stage in front of a microphone to perform this song letting lighting and camera angles make the performance interesting so this gown would be perfect.

Not nominated but slated to perform Sunday night at the Academy Awards is Pink. I freaking love this woman who dances to the beat of her own drum and doesn't give a flying fuck in space what anyone else thinks about her. There are one of two duties off the top of my head that Pink could be doing during the 2014 Academy Awards, one is performing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' during the Academy's salute to the 75th Anniversary of the release of 'The Wizard of Oz' or performing a song during the In Memoriam section. Either way before she takes to the stage Pink must take to the red carpet. On the same day that Pink was announced as a performer Versace showed their Fall 2014 RTW collection in Milan and I knew the moment that I saw this cream gown with a Grecian draped neckline, slashed detailed gown with gold embellished straps that this would be my wish for Pink to wear on the red carpet at the Oscars. This gown is everything that Pink is edgy and glamorous. I think that just a pair of gold sandals and simple jewels will finish off this look. Keeping with the same soft theme that I picked for the red carpet I think that this Reem Acra Fall 2014 RTW gown with a gold beaded illusion bodice and white chiffon skirt will make for a dope performance ensemble for either of the situations that I mentioned, tho if Pink decides to do her aerial act then I think a midnight blue Atelier Versace Fall 2012 Couture bodysuit would work as well.

Bette Midler, U2, and Pharrell Williams are all also poised to perform on Hollywood's biggest night, The Academy Awards, Sunday March 2nd starting at 8PM EST on ABC.

2014 Golden Globe Awards: Everyone Else Wish List Part 1

 Idina Menzel was the voice of Elsa in the Best Animated Feature nominee 'Frozen' and was the powerhouse voice behind the Best Original Song nominee 'Let it Go' from the same film. I am hoping that despite her high profile divorce from hubby Taye Diggs, Idina will take to the red carpet Sunday night at the Golden Globes looking fantastic. I think that this raspberry Carolina Herrera Spring 2014 RTW gown will be the perfect look for Idina to wear for this event. When picking a gown for a major red carpet moment Idina more often than not turns to Carolina Herrera and it really can be hit or miss and I think that this gown would be a hit. I would slightly modify this dress so that there is only one of the two featured patches, I would most likely take the one on the hip off so that there is more feature drawing up to Idina's stunning jaw line. Finish the look with a gold minaudiere, a pair of gold satin pumps, and very simple jewelry will make sure that Idina looks FANTASTIC on this red carpet.

 Now while Idina is only the vocals and not actually nominated for the song she performed in Taylor Swift is nominated for Best Original Song for her number 'Sweeter Than Fiction' from the film 'One Chance.' Last year I was not a fan of Taylor's grown up and what I felt was dated Donna Karan Atelier gown at last years ceremony, so I am hoping that she will really bring it this year. The way to do that is by going into her absolutely most favoritest red carpet designer Elie Saab's archive. I think that this strapless Elie Saab Spring 2013 Couture embellished gown is absolutely perfect for Tay. Taylor absolutely loves her embellished gowns and this is how she should do grown up and embellished on the red carpet. Finish the look with soft curls, a smoky eye, a neutral lip, a simple gold Elie Saab clutch, and a pair of simple gold Jimmy Choo sandals and Taylor will redeem herself on the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday night.

 'Modern Family' star Julie Bowen will be taking to the red carpet at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards as one of the presenters on Sunday night. Last year we really saw Julie go big or go home at the 2013 Emmy Awards wearing a soft pink Zac Posen gown which featured lots of bold ruffles. As she is just a presenter at this event I think we will see a more toned down Julie and this champagne Marchesa Pre-Fall 2014 gown with gold embellishments is an absolutely amazing option for Julie to wear for this awards show. This really is the perfect look for a presenter especially one who is from TV. Finish the look with a gold minaudiere, a pair of champagne satin peep toe pumps, and a simple pair of drop earrings and Julie will be perfectly dressed as a presenter.

 Mila Kunis will also be presenting at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards. Mila has 3 movies that will be premiering this year so I am sure that she will be out to start getting the buzz up for her first film 'The Angriest Man in Brooklyn.' I think that this amazing blood orange J. Mendel Spring 2014 RTW gown with a deep-v and slight mermaid cut would look absolutely amazing on the red carpet in this gown. It would hug all of her curves and really just make her look all the parts the major Hollywood actress that she is. Finish this look, much like the others, with a gold minaudiere, a pair of gold Jimmy Choo sandals, and some absolutely amazing yellow gold and emerald earrings and cocktail ring and Mila will have an absolutely amazing red carpet moment.

 Now I might just get a little slack for picking such a gown for a presenter but I think that since Reese Witherspoon is an Academy Award and Golden Globe winning actress she can do just about whatever she wants. This sapphire blue Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture strapless embellished gown would look absolutely stunning on Reese who I always love in these cool jewel-tone colors. Finish the look with some stunning diamond and sapphire earrings, a matching blue satin clutch, and silver sandals and Reese will own this red carpet.

And finally for today we have a wish for stunning Hollywood legend Uma Thurman to wear for the 2014 Golden Globe Awards. The stunning 43 year old actress made it into my Top 5 looks of 2014 and I am hoping that her stunning run continues into awards season 2014. This aqua blue Nina Ricci Pre-Fall 2014 gown with a ruffled neckline was just presented yesterday and in the hectic dash to find the perfect look for Uma it was my saving grace. I hope that Uma can get her hands on this gown and pairs it with a pair of silver Jimmy Choo flat sandals and a stunning Chopard diamond cuff to ensure that she will look as regal as possible on the Golden Globe Awards red carpet.
