2016 Film Independet Spirit Awards Red Carpet Wish List

The day before the Academy Awards the stars of independent cinema will be out in full force on under a tent on Santa Monica beach for the 2016 Film Independent Spirit Awards. The Independent Spirit Awards is a more relaxed event before the big night at the Oscars so we will be bound to see some amazing cocktail looks on the red carpet. Brie Larson is nominated for Best Female Lead thanks to her Oscar nominated performance in Room. I picked this black Christopher Kane Spring 2016 draped halter neck cocktail dress which is given a little visual interest via the multi-colored zip ties at the waist. I love this glamour meets industrial look that I think Brie would look absolutely amazing wearing it on the red carpet. I would finish the look off with a pair of statement pumps in one of the colors from the zip ties, fresh faced makeup, and chic pushed back waves to ensure that Brie has the perfect look for the Spirit Awards red carpet.
I am very happy that Cate Blanchett will be getting back on the red carpet after skipping the Critics Choice and SAG Awards she is confirmed to attend every event she is nominated for between the BAFTA Awards tomorrow night and the Academy Awards. For the Film Independent Spirit Awards I am expecting that Cate will be the most glamorous member of the red carpet, but she has been faltering recently so I am holding out hope. The moment I saw this cream Christian Dior Spring 2016 Couture ruffled gown which features a blue and yellow embellished blouse my mind started screaming for Cate to wear it and I think that the Spirit Awards would be the perfect platform for her to give this gown a beautiful red carpet moment. The classic fit and the sculptural beauty of this dress make it something that I am very intrigued to see Cate wearing on the red carpet. I would just add a pair of gold pumps, a pink lip, & a vintage inspired bob will ensure that Cate is red carpet perfection.
A Cynthia Nixon appearance on the red carpet is a very rare thing so I am very interested to see what she is going to wear come the Film Independent Spirit Awards on the red carpet. Usually Cynthia wears Carolina Herrera on the red carpet and I bet you she does the same for the Spirit Awards. While I had to schedule this post prior to the Carolina Herrera Fall 2016 show but I think that this black pleated tea length wool dress from the Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2016 belted dress is something that I can absolutely picture her wearing. It is such a simple dress that I am hoping that Cynthia would pair it with a great pair of floral printed pumps and a pink lip to add a little punch to this look.
Usually I don't like what Elizabeth Olsen wears on the red carpet and I am hoping that when she steps out on the Independent Spirit Awards that she gives me something that I can actually get behind. I picked this black lace Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2016 one shoulder cocktail dress which features a zipper detail on the hip. I have a deep love for this dress so I am hoping that Elizabeth makes this dress shine like I know it can on the red carpet. I would probably have the hemline brought up just a little so that the length doesn't cut her off when she puts on a pair of gold pumps to finish this look off for a perfect Spirit Awards red carpet.
Jessica Chastain has always been a favorite of mine on the red carpet and she has been very much missed on the red carpets this awards season so I am very excited to see what the stunning redhead and this year's honorary event chair will wear on the red carpet. This red ruffled Michael Kors Spring 2016 RTW cocktail dress will be old news by the time that this red carpet rolls around but I am still hoping that Jessica wears it on the red carpet. I picked this dress because it embodies everything that the Independent Spirit Awards red carpet embodies. It's fun, flirty, glamorous, relaxed, and elegant. Keep the styling simple with a pair of gold strappy sandals, relaxed waves, and a red lip and Jessica will make a triumphant return to the red carpet.
I am done expecting anything great out of Rooney Mara but I am going to keep on dreaming I think that this white Jason Wu Spring 2016 RTW ruffled cocktail dress is something that is absolutely perfect on the red carpet for the Spirit Awards. I think that this dress is something that Rooney would wear but since it is something I want her to wear I doubt that she will. I figure that Rooney would bring this look down with black sandals when it really needs silver sandals and a red lip to ensure that it is a beautiful red carpet moment.

2016 AFI Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 2

The possibility of seeing January Jones at the 2016 AFI Awards on January 8, 2016 is quite good because Mad Men, which aired it's last episode in 2015, is going to be honored with a special AFI Award. When she first came onto the red carpet scene at the start of Mad Men, January was one of the stars to watch but she ended up faltering but at the end she seemed to be doing the right red carpet tricks to gain my eye again. I am excited to see what January will bring to the red carpet and I think that this chic Peter Pilotto Spring 2016 RTW off-the shoulder printed cocktail ensemble is perfect for this more laid back type of a red carpet. This is such a flirty, summery style that eyes would undoubtedly move over to January as the cast takes one last photo together. I would finish this look with Veronica Lake waves, a pink lip, and a pair of fun gold and blue dotted Charlotte Olympia sandals so that January adds another unexpected pop to this look for the red carpet.
After so elegantly promoting The Martian last year, her black Elie Saab Couture gown almost made my Best Dressed of the Year list, I am hoping that Jessica Chastain will be on hand at the AFI Awards next Friday. Jessica had a really elegant year last year and I am always intrigued at what she is going to show up on the red carpet wearing. For this event I would love to see Jessica wearing this saffron yellow Oscar de la Renta Spring 2016 RTW jewel neck gathered waist lace dress. This is such a lady like ensemble and it is very daring for a red head to wear yellow on the red carpet, but if anyone would be able to make it work it would be Jessica. The color combo is such a major statement that I would just finish this look off with a pair of gold Charlotte Olympia 'Monroe' leather pumps, old Hollywood waves, and a red lip to ensure that Jessica kills the AFI Awards red carpet.
I think the person I am most excited to see at the AFI Awards is former Mad Men star and rising fashion star Kiernan Shipka. I have never had a 16 year old almost make my best dressed of the year list but Kiernan came really close with the Dior Couture ensemble that she wore to the Emmy's. I have been loving seeing Kiernan continue to give us stunning look after stunning look. For this red carpet I would love to see Kiernan show up wearing this Gucci Pre-Fall 2016 lace shift dress which features a peter pan collar, black ribbon bow, and lace ruffles on the blouse. This is a look that I think only a couple of stars could end up pulling off and Kiernan is at the top of the list of those that I think that can. Finished simply with a pair of nude fine glitter fabric Jimmy Choo 'Lorelai' pumps with champagne flower embellishments to keep the pretty air of this look going.
It has really been a hot minute since Kirsten Dunst has given me a real wow moment on the red carpet. While the AFI Awards, where Kirsten's show Fargo is being honored, is not where I am expecting her to wow me it is the place to help get me excited about things to come. This Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2016 liberty floral printed handkerchief dress is exactly what I would love to see Kirsten wearing to help get me excited about all of the red carpet appearances that she will be making over awards season. This dress is one of the few from this collection that I actually liked and I am hoping that whomever gets their hands on it does it justice, and I definitely think that Kirsten could. I would love to see this dress paired with a pair of black and gold Tabitha Simmons sandals, a pink lip, and a curly bob to add the perfect final touches.
While I am holding out hope that awards season will not be an all black and white affair for Rooney Mara I also know that this is a very slim chance. For the AFI Awards, where Rooney will most likely be on hand to represent her film Carol, I picked this simple black Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2016 cocktail dress. I think what immediately made me think of Rooney when it came to this dress was that the model is doing one of Rooney's signature poses. While I believe that this dress should be lined for Rooney as I think that most all of the elegance is the top her must have list for the red carpet. I would only add a pair of black suede Nicholas Kirkwood 'Maeva' pearl embellished pumps to ensure that elegance is key in this look for Rooney.
And finally I have my wish for Empire starlet Taraji P. Henson. As I have previously stated I am hoping that 2016 brings a time where Taraji learns that she doesn't have to have a lot of skin showing to have a sultry, sexy look on the red carpet. For the AFI Awards, where it's more ladies who lunch than sex kitten, I picked this Jonathan Simkhai Pre-Fall 2016 asymmetric constellation dress which is rendered in white, navy, and black. I think that this type of look is exactly what Taraji needs to have a chic look that still delviers a hint of sexy. The sexy would be further upped by the addition of a pair of black Tom Ford leather sandals with a gold padlock.

2016 AFI Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 1

Every year the American Film Institute compiles a list of the 10 best movies and television shows of the previous year. This year this list is chock full of movies and television shows that have strong female performances and we are bound to see the stars of these films and shows on the red carpet of the AFI Awards luncheon red carpet on January 8, 2016. Brie Larson might be this seasons biggest underdog and the one to watch. I am really looking forward to seeing what the Room actress will be bringing to the red carpet. For this event I would love to see Brie wearing this white Bottega Veneta Spring 2016 RTW halter dress. This dress is such a chic and simple look which is perfect for a daytime luncheon. I am hoping that Brie continues to expand her repertoire of designers and this would be a lovely addition. Finish with a pair of simple nude sandals and fresh faced make up to finish this luncheon look off perfectly.
I can't believe I am saying this but I was very underwhelmed by what Cate Blanchett brought to the red carpet last year. I think that this is the first time in a while where I haven't had a single look from Cate gracing any of my end of the year awards. I am hoping that come awards season that Cate finds her footing again as she is set to be on every major red carpet this season. For the AFI Awards I would love to see Cate wearing this Roksanda Spring 2016 RTW ensemble which incorporates a simple sky blue silk blouse and pair of beige desert printed pants with sculptural detail in goldenrod on the right hip. I think that this look is something that many would not be able to pull of but the red carpet queen would have no trouble. This is the type of look that I think Cate needs to get me interested in her again, if she steps out in one more black Armani look I might cry.
I am super excited to see Charlize Theron on the red carpet this awards season. I know that she will undoubtedly be in Dior at all the big events but for some of the smaller event I am hoping that she will dig into some of the other brands that she tends to favor. For the AFI Awards I picked this incredibly chic black Jason Wu Spring 2016 RTW structured dress which features side cutouts and ruffles. I love how this look mixes classic sophistication with a fun flirtatious edge. Charlize knows how to take a simple look like this and make me fall head over heels in love with it. Something like the black Christian Louboutin 'Bareta' studded pumps, casual hair, a red lip, and a Dior clutch would ensure that Charlize slays this look at the AFI Awards.
Claire Danes is another whom I usually love but in 2015 she really let me down. I am hoping that if she takes to the red carpet at the AFI Awards for her show Homeland that she will be back on form. To help her do so I picked a sexy borrowed from the boys type of look. This Versace Spring 2016 RTW black pinstripe dress is something that is sexy and sophisticated, perfect for the AFI Awards luncheon. I know that while some might be tempted to go all Angelina Jolie with their leg and that sexy slit, I know that Claire would keep it classy and just let the leg pop out the split naturally. Finished with a pair of simple black Jimmy Choo pumps and fresh faced makeup and Claire will be ready to hit the red carpet and work it like she hasn't worked on in a long time.
If there was a fashion breakout star in 2015 it had to be Daisy Ridley who captured our hearts and the eye of many of the top designers. As she did such an amazing job while promoting Star Wars: The Force Awakens so I am sure that they will send her to the AFI Awards, where the film is being honored. Since Daisy has yet to double dip on designers I am continuing to expand her base by picking this black Etro Spring 2016 RTW ensemble which consists of a floral printed leather bodice and a tiered eyelet hem skirt. With the caliber of looks that Daisy has been putting out I could see many being bored with this type of look, but I think that the visual interest on the blouse is perfect for this type of more casual type of a red carpet. Finished with soft curls, a pink lip, and a pair of gold Christian Louboutin pointed toe pump and this is a perfect AFI Awards red carpet look.
Emilia Clarke was up and down last year and I am hoping that if she attends the 2016 AFI Awards to represent Game of Thrones that she starts the year on the right foot. What better way to do that than wearing this aqua blue Roland Mouret Spring 2016 RTW flared dress. Emilia is not one who is afraid of a bold color and since the AFI Awards are handed out during a luncheon this more laid back style is totally appropriate. The dress is classic and has a sense of flirtation with it's flared skirt. I would just add a pair of gold Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals and a pink lip to finish this look off.

2016 Peoples Choice Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 3

Continuing with today's 2016 People's Choice Awards wish lists I m going to continue with my wish for the stunning Kerry Washington. Kerry has always been one of my favorite ladies to see on the red carpet (she was another of the ladies who made it on to my Best Dressed of the Year list) and I am sure that she will slay the red carpet next Wednesday at the People's Choice Awards (if she attends.) Nominated for Favorite Dramatic TV Actress, I would love to see Kerry wear this amazing multicolored floral Jason Wu Spring 2016 RTW halter dress. I love the flirty volume added to this dress by the amazing voluminous ruffles. This perfect look would be finished off with a pair of pink sandals and a gold Edie Parker clutch to make it just that much more elegant.
Not many women would be able to make couture work on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards but Lady Gaga is one of the few that could. Nominated for Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy actress thanks to her amazing work on American Horror Story: Hotel. At the close of 2015 it has been a lot of Brandon Maxwell (Gaga's friend and stylist turned designer) on the back of Gaga and I am excited to see what she has in store for 2016. I think that Gaga would look amazing wearing this 3D floral embroidered Giambattista Valli Fall 2015 Couture ensemble which consists of a feather embellished tunic top and a pair of wide leg pants. This is a chic, edgy ensemble is perfect for Gaga who is about the only person that I can picture wearing this ensemble. A pair of platform sandals, chic updo, and a red lip would ensure that Gaga kills the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards.
I am about over seeing Lea Michele on the red carpet but alas she is nominated for Favorite Actress in a New TV Series and is presenting at the People's Choice Awards, so she will be on hand. I picked this long sleeve Zuhair Murad Fall 2015 Couture celestial embellished mini-dress for Lea because I feel like it is where she is with her red carpet style. A while ago I would have had wished for chic Elie Saab or Zac Posen moments but I don't think that she is there anymore. Lea has potential to make for a major red carpet being but she has gotten lost. This would make for a very pretty look finished with a pair of black crystal embellished pumps and a red lip.
Like Lea, Priyanka Chopra is nominated at the People's Choice Awards for Favorite Actress in a New TV Series and is presenting. Priyanka has started to make waves in the fashion world for her bold choices for the red carpet and I am really excited to see what she is going to bring to the table. I think that this mint blue Cushnie et Ochs Spring 2016 RTW silk shawl dress would be a chic elegant way for Priyanka to show up now that she has a following from her hit series Quantico. A pair of black and white Sophia Webster sandals to add a statement and a red lip will ensure that Priyanka kills the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards.
After wowing me in 2014 I was really surprised by how underwhelming Shailene Woodley was for me. I am hoping that 2016 will see her back on top form. At the People's Choice Awards next week I would love to see Shailene, who's nominated for Favorite Action Movie Actress, Mugler Spring 2016 RTW ensemble. I love that this ensemble, which consists of a navy blue sweater with a large pocket and military buttons down one sleeve and a navy metal embellished asymmetrical skirt, and I think that this gown would be event appropriate and fabulous. Shailene is not known for her feminine style and this look mixes femininity with a whole lot of edge. Finish the look with a pair of black and silver Giuseppe Zanotti pumps and simple hair and makeup and Shailene will work this red carpet.

Jennifer Lawrence for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" Promo International Tour Wish List

The promo tour for the final installment of "The Hunger Games" saga "Mockingjay: Part 2" is going to kick off soon. I was a little disappointed by how short the "Mockingjay Part 1" promo tour was last year and I am hoping that for the final promo tour is grand and befitting of the major blockbuster that this film is. When I say international premieres I am talking about the premieres that aren't in London, LA, or NYC. As the main star of "The Hunger Games" series I would hope that Jennifer Lawrence will be jetting around the world to promote the film. this white Christian Dior Spring 2015 Couture midi length gown is perfect for a premiere in a city like Paris or Tokyo. This sleek silhouette and absence of color is perfect for JLaw who can get lost in some of Dior's more froufy designs. We will be bound to see Jennifer in at least a few Dior looks, hopefully not in the brand exclusively. This look finished with a pair of statement shoes and a white Dior clutch will ensure that this is a perfect premiere ensemble for Jennifer.
I am hoping that Jennifer doesn't exclusively wear Dior for her entire "Mockingjay: Part 2" promo tour. For a premiere in a city like Madrid or Berlin I would love to see JLaw wear this black Jason Wu Spring 2016 RTW spaghetti strap gown made all that more sexy with its sheer lace panels. I always love when Jennifer mixes sporty and glamour and I think that this would make for a very vampy moment on Jennifer. We don't usually see Jennifer go for sexy and I think that this would be a perfect option for her to go out with a bang. Black Louboutins, a red lip, and a black Dior clutch would ensure that Jennifer keeps her mojo going.
I am praying to the fashion gods that of all the gowns in the Christian Dior Fall 2015 Couture collection that Jennifer wears this gown for an international premiere and not for one of the major premieres. I think that this sporty meets ethereal look is something that will call to Jennifer but I see it working more in a place like Rome or Paris. This might look season inappropriate, one of the big criticisms I had of the Dior Fall 2015 Couture collection, but I think that Jennifer would look really pretty in this gown. Finish it with gold sandals, a gold clutch, and a pink lip and I think JLaw will have a successful international promo tour for "Mockingjay: Part 2."

Runway Report: Jason Wu Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

Jason Wu SS16 RTW
Jason Wu has spent so much of his focus in recent past collection on sportswear that I have been in a drought of the glamour and drama that the house was founded on. I was incredibly pleased with the fact that for Spring/Summer 2016 Jason Wu was able to mix his elevated versions of sportswear with glam drama that I love. He did so thanks to a lot of ruffles. There were ruffles on almost every look in short or large and dramatic. I think that the most dramatic look came from a green snakeskin leather cocktail dress that was made soft and glam with large ruffles on the shoulder. I was also really impressed with the bold bags that Jason continues to create. I think that they will in time become the "it" bags. I hope that Jason continues to remember his roots as he continues to grow his line.

See all my favorite looks from Spring/Summer 2016 over on Pinterest.

#Cannes2015: "Youth" Premiere Wish List

L'Oreal spokesmodel duties are not the only reason that the always fabulous Jane Fonda will be in Cannes for this years festival. The stunning 77 year old actress is surely going to shut down the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals, remember her Elie Saab Couture gown last year or her Atelier Versace gown the year before, to promote her latest film "Youth." The actress knows how to work this red carpet and she does so with abandon. Since one of my wishes for Jane to wear for her L'Oreal duties was worn by Gabrielle Union to the Met Ball I am praying that Jane gives me what I am praying for on the red carpet. For the press conference and photocall I would love to see Jane wear this Jason Wu Fall 2015 RTW ensemble that consists of a steel blue beaded short sleeve top and grey suiting tapered pants. I think that this is a chic sophisticated timeless look which is perfect for a Cannes Film Festival photocall. For the premiere I have picked something a little more dramatic for Jane to wear. This Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture gown with all over embellishments and embroidery rendered in deep blue and smokey browns is a perfect look for Jane with its long sleeves and rounded cut neckline. A pair of blue Salvatore Ferragamo peep toe pumps and some simple Chopard diamond earrings will ensure that Jane shuts down the Cannes Film Festival red carpet.
Just 5 days after premiering "The Lobster" on the croisette Rachel Weisz will join Jane Fonda to promote her second film of the festival, "Youth." Rachel Weisz is one that I have absolutely loved on the red carpet in the past and I am excited for dual premieres at this years festival. For the "Youth" photocall I would love to see Rachel Wear this reddish brown Lanvin Fall 2015 RTW a-line midi dress that features a brown leather harness. This look might be a little warm for Rachel to wear outdoor photocall but they say beauty is pain amrite? For the premiere I am also picking a warmer gown via this Valentino Spring 2015 Couture forest green velvet sleeveless gown which features an embroidered open back and sweeping train. This is such a glamorous gown and moved so elegantly on the runway and I can just imagine what it would look like walking up the stairs at the Palais. A chic low up do with loose curls, a red lip, a gold clutch, a pair of gold sandals, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings would just finish this look off perfectly for the Cannes Film Festival red carpet.

2015 Academy Awards: Naomi, Nicole, Sienna & Zoe Wish List

I am excited to see Naomi Watts on the red carpet at the Academy Awards on Sunday night where she is going to be on hand as a presenter. I love seeing Naomi because I never know what she is going to show up wearing. I am hoping that she goes with classic ladylike glamour wearing this purple embroidered Oscar de la Renta Fall 2015 RTW strapless ballgown with an exaggerated sweetheart neckline. I absolutely loved what Peter Copping did for Oscar de la Renta, it was truly like Oscar had his hands in this collection and I am in love. He hasn't come in a taken the house in his own direction, a la Heidi Slimane and Raf Simons, but really infused his talents into the core beliefs of the Oscar de la Renta legacy. Naomi doesn't do dark and brooding looks very often and I think that this gown would just be fabulous on her. Finish the look with a chic up do, a red lip, a black Edie Parker clutch, a statement diamond necklace and a pair of black sandals and Naomi will slay the Oscars red carpet.
It has been either love or loathe when it comes to what Nicole Kidman has been wearing on the red carpet. I am hoping that she gives me a major moment when it comes to the Academy Awards on Sunday night. Despite the fact that earlier this month Nicole had a major white moment, in Valentino Couture at the Berlin Film Festival, I would still love to see her wear this white double silk georgette Elie Saab Spring 2015 RTW which features a jewel neckline with allover beaded embroidery and draped panels that cascade over the shoulder. I think that this is a dramatic gown that needs a woman with presence to pull it off and I think that Nicole really has that presence. I would add a pair of diamond and colored stone earrings, forgo a clutch, throw on a pair of white peep toe pumps and finish off with a red lip to ensure that this is a dramatic best dressed moment on the red carpet.
Sienna Miller is going to be a busy woman. She will be performing on Broadway in "Cabaret" on Saturday night in New York City and then will be running to catch a red eye flight to LA to fulfill her duties as a presenter at the Academy Awards on Sunday. I am hoping that Sienna will champion a British designer on the Oscars red carpet. While it is more likely that she would wear a custom gown from the likes of Burberry or Alexander McQueen I would love to see Sienna wear this strapless coral Roksanda Pre-Fall 2015 gown rendered in silk wool blend and features a fitted A-line silhouette with micro-pleating details along the hem. I think that Sienna would be the perfect woman to bring Roksanda into being a household name with this gown on the Oscars red carpet. Finish the look with a statement necklace, a gold Edie Parker clutch and a pair of crystal embellished gold Miu Miu sandals and Sienna will hold her own on the tops of best dressed lists.
I am hoping that that Academy Awards on Sunday night sees Zoe Saldana back to her best. I have missed the amazing Zoe that I fell in love with on the red carpet during her pregnancy. I think that this white Jason Wu Fall 2015 RTW halter gown with a keyhole and thin black belt would be an amazing red carpet moment for Zoe. This might be too simple for most as an Oscars dress, especially for a high profile presenter, but I think that this would come as a welcome surprise. Finish the look with a pair of dazzling cluster earrings, an Edie Parker clutch, a pair of black Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals and a bold red lip and Zoe will have a welcome red carpet return come the Oscars.

2015 Costume Designers Guild Awards Wish List

The 17th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards will be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 17, 2015. I am excited for the fact that one of my favorite women, Emmy Rossum, is going to be the hostess of the evening. Emmy always gives me couture realness when she steps out wearing all of the best designers. For the CDG Awards I would love to see Emmy wear this Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2015 strapless ball gown with its bold floral print. Many would send this gown back afraid of the statement making print, but Emmy is never one to stray away from a challenge and I would love to see her take this gown on. Paring this gown with some stunning Chopard drop earrings, a light pink lip, and a pair of red sandals would ensure that Emmy gives Oscar chic at the CDG Awards
Emma Stone has been making the red carpet rounds promoting "Birdman" on its journey to the Academy Awards. With the film being nominated for its costume design at the CDG Awards I am praying that Emma shows up. I would love to see her wear this emerald green Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2015 t-shirt style dress with beaded stripes in differing directions on the top and skirt. I absolutely adore a red head in green and we haven't seen Emma wear green in a while. Finish the look with a green Edie Parker clutch, a pair of gold pumps, and a red lip would make everyone green with envy for Emma's red carpet look.
Felicity Jones is still on the road to being one of my red carpet queens. I love almost every single look the she puts out on the red carpet. For the Costume Designers Guild Awards, I would love to see Felicity wear this Marchesa Pre-Fall 2015 cocktail dress rendered in black corded lace and features a fitted bodice with a full pleated skirt and scalloped edges. I think that this is a sweet dress, which is perfect for the look that Felicity always gives on the red carpet. I would pair this look with a pair of coral Elie Saab sandals, sleek hair, and a coral lip to make sure that Felicity is all about bringing impact to the red carpet at the Costume Designers Guild Awards.
Reese Witherspoon has been on a roller coaster of style this red carpet season. I have either loved or hated her red carpet looks, and most have been very monochromatic. I am praying for Reese to wear some color on the red carpet, and what better event that the Costume Designers Guild Awards to do that? I picked this amazing Christian Dior Spring 2015 Couture cocktail dress with a green top and a multicolored striped full skirt for Reese to wear. I think that the silhouette is something that Reese would be naturally drawn to, it is very ladylike. Reese loves herself a ladylike silhouette and this gown gives that AND modernity with the colors and striped skirt. The boldness of the pattern and colors are what I fear would push Reese away from this dress. I would finish this look off simply with a pair of gold pumps and tousled waves to give Reese a perfect red carpet look.
"The Grand Budapest Hotel" is nominated for Best Period Costumes in a Movie and I am hoping for a Swinton sighting at the CDG Awards. Tilda Swinton is a red carpet queen. I love how she can work mannish or feminine silhouettes on the red carpet and always look stunning. One of Tilda's favorite designers, and closest friends, is Hadier Ackermann and it has been a hot minute since we have seen her in one of his designs. I picked this mauve silk suit, with a boxy blazer and tapered pants, and burgundy chiffon top covered in rosettes from the Hadier Ackermann Spring 2015 RTW collection. This look is an amazing balance of menswear inspiration and feminine details to create the perfect red carpet look for Tilda. Her short locks styled in her signature coif and nude pumps would ensure that Tilda slays the red carpet.

2015 BAFTA Awards: Amy, Emma, Felicity, Gugu, & Julianne Wish List

This weekend we are in for a double dose of red carpet on Sunday night. In LA there will be the Grammy Awards (those wishes to come later this week) and in London the BAFTA Awards will take place. I am really excited to see what the stars will bring to the red carpet come Sunday at the BAFTA's. Amy Adams is nominated for Best Leading Actress for her work in "Big Eyes." Amy looked amazing at the Golden Globe Awards in lavender Versace and I am hoping that she just continues to wow me. I picked this Zuhair Murad Spring 2015 Couture cap sleeve ball gown for Amy to wear Sunday. I know earlier today I ripped into this collection for being an Elie Saab knockoff, but this gown is one that I didn't see any Elie Saab inspiration in. The soft gold embellishments would look amazing against Amy's milky peachy skin. A soft up-do and gold sandals will finish this look off perfectly for the BAFTA's red carpet.
Emma Stone has been wearing a lot of black on the red carpet lately and I am wanting that to stop because the stunning red headed actress, nominated for a Best Supporting Actress BAFTA, wears color like no one else. With that being said, you might be looking at your screen lopsided since I have picked an almost all white gown for Emma to wear for the BAFTAs. Well yes this is the case. Since I first saw this white Giambattista Valli Fall 2014 Couture strapless gown with purple floral embellishments take to the runway last July I have been praying that we will see Emma wear this gown on the red carpet. I think it only appropriate to honor the red carpet where Emma really fell in love with fashion with an amazing and special gown. This would be an amazing glamourous goddess moment for Emma to make since she hasn't had a goddess moment in a while.
The buzz roaming the twittersphere is that after awards season is over will Christian Dior announce Felicity Jones as its next face? I have a feeling that this is definitely going to be the case. She has worn A LOT of Dior on the red carpets over the past 6 months and it has been the best relationship thus far. Aside from that I would love to see Best Leading Actress nominee wear this amazing Elie Saab Pre-Fall 2015 sleeveless evening gown that features a guipure construction with full threadwork embroidery in a floral motif and a fitted A-line silhouette. I think that this black gown with its bold floral embroidery is the perfect slight step out of Felicity's wheelhouse of all black, navy, and pastel colors. A chic up-do, diamond dazzlers in her ears, a black clutch, and a pair of black sandals would just make sure that Felicity kills the red carpet at the BAFTA Awards on Sunday.
Gugu Mbatha-Raw really earned her stripes on the red carpet circuit last year and I am praying that when she shows up on the red carpet at the BAFTA Awards, where she is nominated for the Rising Star Award, that she gives me a red carpet look to die over. I picked this salmon orange Jason Wu Spring 2015 RTW silk gown. This is not the stereotypical awards show red carpet stunner but I think that with Gugu's amazing red carpet style and presence that this would hold its own against couture. A curly up do, a coral lip, gold metallic clutch, and a pair of gold pumps will make sure that this gown is styled perfectly to be able to hold its own against couture.
And finally for today I have a wish for Julianne Moore to wear for the BAFTA Awards where she is nominated for Best Leading Actress. The BAFTA's are just another stop for Julianne on the way to accepting her Academy Award for "Still Alice." I am not quite sure that Julianne will win the BAFTA, up against some strong British stars, but she will for sure bring it to the red carpet. I picked this Armani Prive Spring 2015 Couture ensemble. The almost black blue silk one shoulder silk top paired with a blue iridescent crystal embellished skirt would be an amazing look for Julianne. We have never seen Julianne wear an Armani Prive look but what better time to start when on the road to an Academy Award. I would snatch the runways clutch, add a pair of black sandals, pull her hair back (which she hasn't done this season for a major red carpet), and a red lip will ensure that Julianne keeps up her best dressed run at her BAFTAs stop.

2014 London Film Festivall: "Men, Women, & Children" Premiere Wish List

I have noticed that when she is on the road promoting her own films that Jennifer Garner does not bring the level of fashion that she does when she is playing the plus one to Ben Affleck. I don't know if it's pressure from producers or what but I feel that with each of her promo tours in the past year she has not given me anything to fall in love with. Even with that notion I still hold out hope that Jennifer will give a wow moment on the red carpet at the London Film Fest premiere of her film "Men, Women, & Children." This Jason Wu Resort 2015 modernist a-line halter gown would look stunning on Jennifer. I think that the icey blueish white color of this gown help give a clean feeling while straying away from what could look very bridal. Jason has been known to remake some of these gowns in other colors and I think that a rich royal purple would also look fantastic on Jenn. I would pair the icey blue gown with a pearl colored Edie Parker clutch, silver pumps, and simple jewels whilst switching in a pair of black pumps for the silver if the dress could be made in purple.

2014 Emmy Awards: Best Actress in a Drama Series Nominees Wish List

With the Primetime Emmy Awards just 2 weeks away all of the nominees are going through their fittings making sure that they are going to look their best. I am of course going to give my input on to what I believe that each lady should wear, as always. Up first is Best Actress in a Drama Series nominee Claire Danes. The "Homeland" star has been one to usually wow me but this year her looks have just been alright. I am hoping that come the Emmy's that Claire will be back at the top of her game. I always think that Claire usually looks her best when she is wearing Armani. With that in mind I would love to see her wear this black and red Armani Prive Fall 2014 Couture sculpted peplum gown. I think that this figure hugging silhouette is perfect for this event. Not to much but not boring. Finish the look with a sleek up-do, a red lip, lined eye, a red clutch, and a pair of black Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals to ensure that Claire is once again on top.
Julianna Margulies is nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her work in "The Good Wife" yet again and from what I read it is a big possibility that she will bring home the trophy. With that in mind I want to see Julianna bring it to the red carpet at the 2015 Emmy Awards on the 25th. This blood red to dusty red Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture ombre gown with a plunging neck would be a perfect winning ensemble. I think that Julianna works the red carpet like a pro but often she makes choices that fade into the background or things that don't totally flatter her. This gown would give statement pictures on the red carpet and flow beautifully as she walks up to the podium to accept her award. Julianna will also be on hand as a confirmed presenter. The runway clutch, a pair of gold Christian Louboutin sandals, and a pair of gold set ruby and diamond earrings would finish this look off perfectly for the 2014 Emmy Awards.
If I had to pick a winner for the 2014 Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, I would definitely give my vote to Kerry Washington in "Scandal." while she is considered a threat, like Julianna Margulies, to Robin Wright taking home the trophy I would jump up and down with joy if Kerry won. I would bring some of Kerry's character, Olivia Pope, to her look which might help bring her some extra luck. White is the signature color of Mrs Pope so this white Giambattista Valli Fall 2014 Couture strapless flowing gown with purple and white shirred detail on the bodice would make an expert choice for Kerry to make on the red carpet. Kerry kinda faltered on the red carpet during her pregnancy but since she has been back on top of her game. I might cut the shirred details back so that they are a little more subtle on Kerry. Completing this ensemble with a sleek up do, a white Edie Parker clutch, a pair of purple sandals, and a fresh face of makeup would make this look absolutely perfect for the red carpet at the 2014 Emmy Awards.
I know that Lizzy Caplan has been busy with her stylist Ilaria Urbanati picking her ensembles for Emmy's week. I have recently come about to start loving Lizzy's red carpet moments and I am hoping that she wins my heart yet again on the Emmy Awards red carpet. I believe that Lizzy looks her best in simple sporty type of ensemble. That is why when I was going through pictures trying to pick a gown for her I stumbled on this canary diamond colored Elie Saab Resort 2015 sleeveless gown on the left side of the picture on the right. This gown is perfect for the Emmy's as it isn't too much and it would fit her absolutely stunning figure. A gold clutch and a pair of gold sandals, as well as a few simple selections of canary diamonds will ensure that Lizzy rocks the Emmy red carpet.
Michelle Dockery is part of one of the most beloved series on television, "Downton Abby," and she has received a nomination every year and has yet to take a trophy home herself. Sadly this is not going to be hear year either but I am sure that Michelle will rock the red carpet despite that fact. In the past few years she has always graced the Emmy Awards red carpet wearing a custom gown, so I figure that trend will continue again this year. While I can not pick the custom design that she might wear, as they are top secret, I can pick a gown for her to wear from the runways. This sporty ice blue Jason Wu Resort 2015 gown would look stunning on Michelle who tends to go for a more lady like ensemble. A silver Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver sandals, and some stunning statement diamond earrings would ensure that Michelle will make this a red carpet moment perfection.
Finally I have a wish for most likely to be voted Best Actress in a Drama Series, Robin Wright. Netflix is going to really take over this year with high marks for both "Orange is the New Black" and "House of Cards." The latter of which earned Robin her nomination. Robin has a very grown up chic covered up sense of style which is why I picked this silver Ralph Lauren Fall 2014 RTW silk gown with an attached silk train for the actress to wear. I think that Robin wears silver stunningly and I have to say that she has the height and presence to carry this gown without it dragging or looking ill fitting on her. A silver box clutch , a pair of silver peep toe pump, and a simple pair of diamond earrings that cluster close to the lobe will ensure that Robin rocks the red carpet at the 2014 Emmys.
