2016 Golden Globe Awards: Presenter & Plus One Wish List

Heading to the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night will be Televovela star and creator Eva Longoria. I have to say that Eva is either really good for me or she completely misses the mark, and she usually only hits the mark at the Cannes Film Festival. I am hoping though that when she steps out to present at the Globes that she is on point. I would love to see Eva get her hands on this vermilion orange Prabal Gurung Spring 2016 RTW gown with a velvet halter blouse and silk chiffon skirt. I think that this bold color, yet very sleek, gown would make for such a magical modern red carpet moment. Not every look that takes to a red carpet has to exude old Hollywood glamour, and while Eva does know how to work old Hollywood I would love to see her give us something a little different on the red carpet. I would pair this gown with a pair of strappy gold sandals, sun-kissed makeup, and a sleek pony tail to give Eva a modern glam moment on the Golden Globes red carpet.

Jada Pinkett Smith will most likely be on the red carpet on Sunday night on the arm of her husband, and Best Performance by a Motion Picture - Drama nominee, Will Smith. I used to love seeing Jada on the red carpet but with a lot of the looks that she wore on the red carpet at the end of 2015 just made me cringe. I am hoping that sexy, yet not trying to hard, Jada is back on Sunday night. I think that this simple white Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2016 RTW spaghetti strap gown with a plunging neckline, gold embellished waist detail, and central split would be just what I would love to see Jada wearing as she supports the man she loves. This simple gown is perfect since Jada would just be attending as Will's plus one and not a nominee, supporting a show or film she is in, or presenting. Finish this look with a gold Edie Parker clutch, a pair of strappy Christian Louboutin sandals, and a red lip and Jada will be sexy and sophisticated on the Globes red carpet.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum is always one of the best dressed plus one's that takes to the red carpets when she is on the arm of her husband Channing Tatum, who's presenting on Sunday night. I was a little less than enthused with the sheer lace Marchesa gown that Jenna wore to the premiere of Channing's latest film The Hateful Eight, so I am hoping that she will be a little more clothed at the Golden Globe Awards. I think that this raspberry pink Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2016 one shouldered draped gown, while almost a red carpet standard, is something that Jenna would look exceptional wearing on the red carpet. This gown is chic and elegant while not being anything too much. Finished with a silver clutch, a pair of silver sandals, a red lip, chic updo, and a pair of dazzling diamond earrings will finish this look off perfectly for the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards.

I am very nervous about what Jennifer Lopez is going to wear on the red carpet when she shows up to present at the Golden Globe Awards. Last year she brought a lot of drama via a caped Zuhair Murad caped gown (which one could say was too much) and then as the year went on her gowns started having less and less fabric. I always believe that the film and television awards are glamour required and the gowns that JLo has been wearing have been more on the tacky side than glamorous side. I went into the Zuhair Murad archives and picked this forest green Fall 2013 Couture strapless pleated gown. I love this gown and I would love to see it on the red carpet and I think that Jennifer would exude her sexy glamour, without looking tacky, wearing this stunning creation. A matching clutch and gunmetal silver sandals, along with old Hollywood waves, a smoky eye, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings would ensure that this is a JLo look to remember.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is another that I have a love or hate type of relationship with on the red carpet. Usually I enjoy her at the big awards shows, but she often picks looks that fade into the background. I am hoping that she brings her a-game to the red carpet at the Golden Globes on Sunday where she is going to be on hand as a presenter. I picked this chic winter white Ralph Lauren Pre-Fall 2016 high bow detailed neck, long sleeved column gown for Maggie to wear. This is a modern yet classic type of look with no muss or fuss which I think Maggie would appreciate. With such a simple classic look I think that this gown would be perfectly styled with a gold Prada clutch, a pair of gold Prada sandals, a vintage inspired style for her bob, a red lip, and a pair of yellow gold set Van Cleef & Arpels diamond earrings for Maggie's Golden Globe red carpet moment.

Naomi Watts will most likely be on the arm of her husband, Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama nominee, Liev Schreiber at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night. At the 2015 Emmy Awards Naomi played this same role wearing a Dior Couture cocktail dress which failed to impress or excite. I would keep her look simple, as she is not the focus of the night I think that something like this silver Saint Laurent Spring 2016 RTW embellished gown would be a perfect choice for her. I think that Naomi would shine bright like a diamond and play the part of the perfect plus one in this simmering gown which is not overly fussy and elegant. Styled with a sleek silver clutch, a pair of silver sandals, sleek hair, red lip, and a pair of diamond drop earrings this look could contend for best dressed against some of the nominees. 

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?

2015 AFI Fest: "Concussion" Premiere Wish List

Gugu Mbatha-Raw has consistently been a delight to see on the red carpet, I don't think that I have ever disliked one of her red carpet look, and I am extremely excited to see what she will wear to the 2015 AFI Fest centerpiece gala premiere of "Concussion." I was searching through all of Gugu's past red carpet moments trying to pick the perfect look for her to wear for this red carpet premiere and couldn't find anything that spoke to me but when I scrolled passed this strapless navy blue BOSS Spring 2016 RTW dress which features fringe details horizontally and vertically. I think that this modern yet very classic dress is perfect for the AFI Fest red carpet. Finish with her hair worn curly, a red lip, a navy clutch, and black sandals and this will be another winning look for Gugu.

Jada Pinkett Smith might not be in "Concussion" but she is always there to stand next to husband Will Smith looking fierce. I would love to see Jada rock her plus one duties wearing this black and white strapless Balenciaga Resort 2016 floral print embroidered cocktail dress which features a slit to there. I think that this definitely would bode well for the actress who does not look anywhere near 44. This is a sexy yet chic look perfect for a plus one. Finish the look with a sleek edgy hairstyle, neutral makeup, and a pair of black and white Givenchy sandals and this look is red carpet ready.

2015 CFDA Awards Wish List Part 2

2015 Peoples Choice Awards Wish List Part 1

Cameron Diaz is nominated for Favorite Comedic Movie Actress at the 2015 Peoples Choice Awards which will take place at the Nokia Theater on January 7, 2015. I have never really been a fan of Cameron as I feel that the 42 year old actress is stuck in a style rut. I do not see her breaking away from this anytime soon so I picked this black Saint Laurent Spring 2015 RTW long sleeved mini which features a gathered detail on one shoulder and a bronzed belt, which is exactly something that would be in her wheelhouse right now. They say you can not teach an old dog new tricks. Finish the look with a red lip and a pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps and you have another stereotypical Cameron Diaz look or the People Choice Awards.

Now that I have passed Cameron I have to say I am less cynical about the rest of the ladies on this list. Chloe Grace Moretz is nominated for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress and I can not wait to see what the 17 year old actress will wear on the red carpet. This Valentino Spring 2015 RTW candy colored striped shift cocktail dress would be a perfect red carpet look for Chloe. The actress loves to have some fun with her dressing and this is an event where she is able to be cute and have fun. A pair of gold sandals, a pink clutch, and a pink lip would finish this look off perfectly for Chloe.

I am praying that we will see a lot of Emma Stone on the red carpets in the upcoming year. I am hoping that her red carpet campaign will begin at the Peoples Choice Awards next Wednesday where she is nominated for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress, Favorite Movie Duo, and Favorite Movie Actress. The PCA's are not really an event that comes to mind when I think of couture, but I think that this Armani Prive Fall 2014 Couture red embellished bustier and black silk short ensemble is a perfect look for Emma to wear for this occasion. She would be wearing couture without looking overdressed. A pair of black Christian Louboutin Sandals and a red satin box clutch would finish this look off in an effortless way to ensure that Emma looks amazing and event appropriate.

Favorite Actress in a New TV Series (Gotham) nominee Jada Pinkett Smith is one that I always look forward to seeing on the red carpet. The 43 year old actress defies aging always looking sexy and full of youth. I am excited to see what she will bring to the red carpet come the Peoples Choice Awards next week. I think that this white Versus Versace Spring 2015 RTW tuxedo inspired cocktail dress designed by Anthony Vaccarello which features a black print on one half is the perfect option for Jada to show her sexy side which goes with her "Gotham" character Fish Mooney. I would keep the runways accessories and add a gold clutch to ensure that Jada gives us sexy to the n-th degree.

Jennifer Lawrence falters between a total wow and leading the worst dressed list. I am hoping that at the 2015 Peoples Choice Awards next week that the actress, nominated for Favorite Movie Actress and Favorite Action Movie Actress, will be a WOW. During her "Mockingjay" promo tour some of my favorite non-Dior looks that JLaw showed off were from Mugler designed by David Koma so it was really a no brainier that when I saw this Mugler Spring 2015 RTW ensemble that it would be perfect for JLaw at the PCA's. The ensemble consists of an off-white draped satin blouse and a metallic silver mini skirt. I think that this sporty, modern, and sexy ensemble is exactly what Jennifer needs to get her 2015 off to the right start, we all remember the Dior "Little Mermaid" inspired bed sheet that she started the year off with at the Globes this year and things did not get that much better. Finish the look off with a pair of statement Christian Louboutin sandals, a red lip, and a wavy bob and Jennifer will for sure get that perfect red carpet ensemble.

Top 10 Looks from the 2014 Academy Awards

Cannes Film Festival: 'Madagasgar 3: Europes Most Wanted' Gala Premiere Wish List

This is one of the rare evening off for the 2012 Cannes Film Festival Jury where they don't have to score the film and can just enjoy the film at hand and mix and mingle with the guests in attendance. For this premiere I would KILL to see Diane to wear this sea blue Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture gown. Diane is one of the few brave enough to wear this without lining the skirt and I think that that is exactly how it should be done. Add just a pair of silver strappy sandals and let the gown and Diane's red carpet presence do all the talking.

I have never seen Jada Pinkett Smith walk the red carpet for a premiere of her own, so this will be a treat if she does. I would love to see her wear this gold metal corset with a black skirt from the Edition by Georges Chakra Fall 2012 RTW collection. I think that this gown is the perfect choice for Jada for this event as it would literally allow her to shine. Add a pair of black peep toe pumps and this look is 100% complete.

Jessica Chastain never turns down a red carpet and she has no reason too as she usually looks amazing and I would definitely fall in love if she wore this black, red, and white Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2012 ball gown for this premiere. Jessica has a relationship with McQueen after wearing him for the 2012 Academy Awards. I think that this gown is just waiting for a red carpet moment and I think Jessica would be a perfect match to make this happen. Jessica doesn't like to carry clutches which for this occasion is ok as long as she add a pair of red pumps under her gown.

And last but not least we have Spanish beauty Paz Vega. I think that this Armani Prive Fall 2011 Couture Asian inspired print tiered gown would look amazing on her. It is just simple enough but still Cannes level for a non competition premiere. Add a black clutch and strappy sandals and she is set to go.

Cannes Film Festival: Photocall Wish List

Each day prior to the premiere of the press conference and premiere of each film there is a photocall where stars, directors, and producers gather in front of hundreds of press photographers to take promotional images. The female celebs take this look just as seriously as the actual premiere look because they will both be highly distributed. Eva Mendes is going to be promoting her film 'Holy Motors' and I think that for the photocall for this film I would love to see her wear this deep wine colored Diane Von Furstenberg Fall 2012 RTW dress. I would push the sleeves up to just above the elbows add a pair of gold pumps and some amazing gold earrings.

Even non competition special screening films get photocalls. Jada Pinkett Smith is in the non-competition film 'Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted' and I am sure she will stand at the photocall. I want Jada to wear this amazing military/tennis inspired Victoria Beckham Fall 2012 RTW dress with a pair of gold strappy sandals.

Kirsten Dunst is the person I have chosen to feature to represent the film, 'On The Road' which also features the talent of Kristen Stewart, Amy Adams, and Elisabeth Moss. Kirsten has an amazing sense of style and when it comes to Cannes she usually sticks to her go to designers Chanel and Rodarte but for this photocall I would love to see the actress with this Alberta Ferretti Fall 2012 RTW long sleeve chiffon dress. I think that this is totally withing Kirsten's style and I would pray she wore it. Add simple no fuss hair and a pair of bronze pumps and she is good to go for her press appearance.

Marion will be on hand at the festival to promote her french film 'Rust & Bone.' Marion is a face of Dior so it will not surprise me if that is all we see her wearing whilst at the festival. For the photocall for the film would love to see Marion in this grey flowy Christian Dior Fall 2012 RTW dress. Noe this dress is simple and to keep it from being overly fussy only needs a simple pair of silver strappy sandals to keep the look light and airy.

Now this wish for Mia Wasikowska to wear this stunning orange swirl print Stella McCartney Evening 2012 dress is a bit of a stretch because she is the face of Miu Miu and I would expect her to wear a dress by them but after looking at the runways I would guess that whatever she picks will be from a commercial collection. With that said if she wore this Stella McCartney dress she would definitely stand out amongst her peers who take their stands at the photocalls during the two week festival. I would tell her to pair this look with a pair of orange peep toes and no other accessories as well as she should wear her hair back and up to show off all the details in the dress.

Last but not least we have Tilda Swinton, who other than Diane Kruger is set to have the first photocall of the festival as it is her film 'Moonrise Kingdom' that is opening the festival. I would love to see Tilda wear this beige Hussein Chalyan Fall 2012 RTW dress with a red-orange waist accent. I think that Tilda would kill this dress and I hope she wears it because not many favor this brand and I would be highly disappointed if this dress was swept up by someone like Lady Gaga instead of someone with sophistication like Tilda. Add a pair of pumps that match the red-orange waist detail and she would be set.
