#Oscars 2016: Nominees Wish List Part 1

Here we go! We are now in the home stretch before the Academy Awards on Sunday night and after a week of Oscar party wishes we are finally at my wishes for the main telecast. Kicking off my nominee wishes is Alicia Vikander who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Danish Girl. Alicia, who is my favorite to take home the little gold man Sunday night, will most likely work the red carpet wearing a custom Louis Vuitton gown, and changing into another brand for the after-parties. Despite knowing that she will wear a custom LV gown I am still wishing for Alicia to wear this peach Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture gown with a column silhouette and a fully embroidered cap sleeve gown. I still can't believe that this gown hasn't been worn on the red carpet yet and I think it would look absolutely lovely on Alicia. This gown would make for a chic and glam red carpet moment. A chic braided updo, fresh faced makeup, a gold Louis Vuitton clutch, gold Christian Louboutin sandals, and a pair of simple diamond drop earrings would ensure that Alicia would look amazing on the Oscars red carpet.
Cate Blanchett started awards season a little rocky but recently she has been knocking it out of the park again. On Oscar night I would love to see Cate, who is nominated for Best Leading Actress for Carol, wearing this lilac Armani Prive Spring 2016 Couture one shoulder gown which features a beautiful hand painted floral print. For every Academy Awards where she has been nominated Cate has turned out in Armani Prive so I believe that is a pretty safe bet she will wear the brand again on Sunday night. I think that this gown is a chic look is an elegant look that I think Cate would look like grace personified on the Oscars red carpet. It has been quite a while since Cate has worn this color on the red carpet and I think that she looks phenomenal it it. Finish this look with very elegant styling including a chic updo, diamond drop earrings, a red lip, silver clutch, a diamond bracelet, and a pair of silver pumps to ensure that Cate kills the red carpet at the Oscars.
We all know Jennifer Lawrence is contractually obligated to wear Christian Dior on the Academy Awards on Sunday night and many of you are probably a little surprised that the gown I picked it what I picked. Well let me explain. I would love to see the premieres at the Christian Dior atelier take this dove grey Christian Dior Spring 2016 Couture asymmetrical neckline embellished tea length gown and turn it into a floor length ball gown with a bit of a train. I think that this would mix the classic Dior glamour ad Jennifer's more sporty style. Oh and yes I want her to ditch the black undershirt. Finish the look with a chic updo, a pink lip, silver Dior clutch, and a pair silver pumps and JLaw will for sure have one of her best ever Oscars red carpet moments.
Kate Winslet is probably the star that I get the most snooze-worthy red carpet moments on the red carpet. I always have a hard time picking a gown for Kate to wear on the red carpet as I am always conflicted as to pick something that she will definitely wear and what I would love to see her wearing. For Sunday nights awards I would like to see the Best Supporting Actress nominee wearing this Ralph & Russo Fall 2015 Couture draped one shoulder gown on the red carpet. I think that this gown would make for a major red carpet moment. I would change the color of this gown to a bold royal blue as I am not the biggest fan of the army green for Kate, but he silhouette is perfect. I would love to see Kate flash a little bit of leg with the sexy, yet demure, split (I don't picture Kate pulling an Angelina with that split.) A pair of silver sandals, a silver embellished clutch, a chic updo, diamond drop earrings, and a bold red lip would finish off this look with such perfection that I could potentially see Kate making my Best Dressed list.
 Lady Gaga is nominated for Best Original Song for 'Till It Happens To You" from The Hunting Ground at the Academy Awards on Sunday and I am crazy excited to see what she will be wearing. I have three looks for her to wear over the course of the Oscars telecast. Starting on the red carpet I would love to see Gaga exercise her glamorous side wearing this black Marchesa Fall 2016 RTW gown which features a nude underlay and wine colored floral embroidery. I think that this is a different type of dramatic but glamorous look that Gaga hasn't worn before but I think is perfect for the Academy Awards red carpet. For her first costume change I would love to see gaga wearing this black Brandon Maxwell Fall 2016 RTW sculpted bodice tuxedo jumpsuit for her performance of her nominated song. The song is such a raw real story that I don't see Gaga going over the top and I think that this chic black look would make for a perfect performance moment for her. After her performance  would love to see Gaga change into this hot off the runway (it literally walked yesterday in London) Alexander McQueen Fall 2016 RTW fully embellished gown and cape. Gaga is almost guaranteed the win Sunday and I think that this would make for a perfect night at the Oscars. Factor in the white Stephane Rolland Couture jumpsuit that I picked for Gaga to wear for the Vanity Fair Party after and this will make for an amazing night of Gaga fashion.
Rounding out today's nominee wishes is Rachel McAdams, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress thanks to Spotlight. Rachel has worn one Lanvin and two Elie Saab gowns over the course of this awards season and she keeps getting better. I am hoping that Rachel delivers her best red carpet moment of the season on Sunday night. I would love to see Rachel wearing this strapless sage Zuhair Murad Spring 2016 Couture fully embroidered gown. I think that this gown is a perfect color for Rachel (shes worn these smokey pastels before and blown me away) and the dramatic silhouette would just add to the perfectness of this look for the Oscars red carpet. I would finish the look with a silver clutch, a pair of silver sandals, chic updo, diamond drop earrings, and a pink lip would ensure that Rachel has the most glamorous red carpet moment.

#Oscars2016: Academy Award Nominees Luncheon Wish List Part 1

IT'S HERE! MY FIRST OSCARS WISH LIST IS FINALLY HERE! The race to the Oscars has been on since the Palm Springs International Film Festival Black Tie Awards Gala early last month but the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon is the first time we will see all the nominees together to celebrate the occasion. Alicia Vikander, favorite to win the Best Supporting Actress trophy, has been blazing through awards season like a girl on fire. I am already anticipating what she will wear for the Oscars red carpet, but that is a different post. For the Nominees Luncheon I would love to see Alicia wearing this Louis Vuitton Spring 2016 RTW pinstripe dress. Alicia is the perfect LV ambassador as I don't think she has had a single misstep in the brand, though most of her looks are custom made for her. This business meets edgy look is perfect for Alicia to wear on the red carpet for the only relaxed occasion during the race to the Oscars. What really would punctuate this as a perfect red carpet look would be a pair of strappy black sandals, hair in loose waves pushed back behind her ears, and relaxed elegant makeup.
Brie Larson is the expected winner for the Best Actress trophy and I have to say that she has been the breakout star this season. I had high hopes for Alicia (and she has met and exceed them) but I did not have high expectations for Brie. Her amazing gold Calvin Klein gown at the Golden Globe Awards followed by the amazing hot off the runway Atelier Versace gown she wore for the Screen Actors Guild Awards were just precursors to her taking to the Oscar red carpet and my hopes are now set very high for Brie's Oscar gown. For the Nominees Luncheon I would love to see Brie wearing this black and white floral print Michael Kors Pre-Fall 2016 which features a cutout on the chest. I think that this classic dress with that cutout makes for a modern take on classic dressing. Not many women would be brave enough to wear this dress during the day but I think that Brie is for sure. While the pattern on this dress is very bold I would still add another bold statement via a pair of hot pink Christian Louboutin 'Pigalle' patent leather pointed toe pumps and a light pink lip to help Brie keep making red carpet hits.
Cate Blanchett has sadly disappointing me and I am preparing myself not to enjoy her red carpet styling over the final stretch of the race to the Oscars. I will continue to make my wishes with what I usually expect Cate to wear. For the Nominees Luncheon I would love to see Cate wearing this multi print Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2016 cap sleeve dress on the red carpet. I think that Cate would look absolutely fantastic in this dress and not let the busy pattern wear her. The classic 40's inspired silhouette and all the random abstract embroidered pattern reminds me of classic Elsa Schiaparelli designs from the era. With such a busy pattern I would keep this look simply styled with just a pair of red pumps, hair chicly pulled back, & a red lip to ensure that Cate is back at her best.
I got a little spark of interest from Jennifer Lawrence when she stepped out at the Golden Globe Awards wearing a bold modern custom Cristian Dior Couture red gown, although her Versace after party look look dulled that spark. I am hoping that Jennifer keeps the magic of her red gown alive with this black and white Christian Dior Spring 2016 Couture mini dress. I believe that while not many people would be brave enough to wear couture during the day I think that this dress is perfect for this occasion and in tune with the vibe of the collection. I want Jennifer to go high glam with all of her red carpet appearances from here on out. Chic loose waves, a pink lip, and a pair of silver pumps would ensure that JLaw kills the red carpet at the Nominees Luncheon.
I am expecting that Kate Winslet will most likely be in a fitted cap sleeved dress by the likes of Victoria Beckham or Tom Ford on the red carpet at the Academy Award Nominees Luncheon. Kate has a very standard look that she wears on the red carpet and rarely steps out of that small box. With this wish for Kate to wear this navy needle point jacquard Roland Mouret Spring 2016 RTW dress which features a slight a-line silhouette with a deep v-neckline and off the shoulder detail, a capeline back panel and a diamond back cutout, is asking her to step out of her fitted comfort zone. While the style of the dress is might not be her typical dress the navy color is which I think would make for this being an amazing moment for Kate on the red carpet. Finish the look with wavy locks, a pink lip, and a pair of nude sandals and Kate will for sure have a personal best on the red carpet.

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.

Top 10 Looks at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards


I put together a video with all the 10 looks that I loved above all else on the red carpet. I was surprised by my non-love of Cate Blanchett and my inability to stop gushing over Jennifer Lopez (who wore the gown I picked for Cate Blanchett.) The Globes red carpet was pretty awesome and I have to say that I am now excited for awards season.

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

Amy Schumer is one that I usually bypass on the red carpet. She has been stuck in what I call the "Lena Dunham Syndrome" where she has to figure out the types of looks and poses that flatter her figure, and she just hasn't done that yet. For the 2016 Golden Globe Awards next Sunday I would love to see Amy, who's nominated thanks to her film Trainwreck, wearing this red Romona Kevesa Spring 2016 RTW corset style mermaid gown. I think that this fitted, sexy gown would look amazing on Amy's curves. That is the problem with Amy and high fashion. High fashion brands don't often take curves into account and Amy is got that Marilyn Monroe type of a figure, bombshell. The other thing that usually doesn't add up with Amy's red carpet looks is her hair. The rats nest that she had on the top of her head whilst wearing custom Zac Posen at the Emmy Awards prevented her from making best dressed lists, so I am hoping that at the Globes that Amy will give something perfect for this look. I would be happy if Amy copied that lookbooks beauty styling with a tight high sleek ponytail and coal rimmed eyes. I would just add red pumps, a red Edie Parker clutch, borrowed diamond drop earrings,& a red lip to ensure that Amy has her first major red carpet moment.
Will Jennifer Lawrence wear Christian Dior on the Golden Globe Awards red carpet? That is the question that is on everyone's mind. My guess is that the actress, who's performance in Joy earned her a nomination, will be in the French couture brand out of contractual obligation. With the exit of Raf Simons I don't know if we will see JLaw in one of his runway creations or something that is custom made for her by the in house design team. Since I can't necessarily predict a custom gown, and all the custom gowns she has worn recently have been lackluster, I looked back to the Christian Dior Fall 2015 Couture collection and this chic simple white sleeveless gown which features a barely shear skirt and a bodice that is subtly embroidered. This is a chic glam look that I have been missing from JLaw and I am really hoping that she gets back to her best for Awards Season, though I am not holding my breath. Her new stylist's suck and I wish she would jump ship to someone like Elizabeth Stewart (who dresses Cate Blanchett), Kate Young (Sienna Miller/Dakota Johnson), or Michaela Erlanger (Lupita Nyong'o). This look finished with a pair of silver sandals, a silver clutch, diamond drop earrings, a pink lip, and a vintage inspired bob would see Jennifer back in my good graces.
Finally I have a wish for funny girl and SPY actress Melissa McCarthy. I am hoping that the plus-sized actress actually puts some thought into her red carpet look. Most of the brands that I would put Melissa in didn't have anything that I could picture her wearing on the runways but I know they would whip up something fabulous and custom for the actress. I would love to see Melissa is a custom Marchesa or Tadashi Shoji gown for this red carpet but alas there wasn't anything from either brand from their runways or look book's that really spoke to me. I picked this Escada Pre-Fall 2015 ensemble because it is something that I can picture Melissa wearing on a red carpet, I don't necessarily think that this is the right type of look for the Globes, it is more of a SAG look, but If she tucked the blue top into the black silk high low skirt; and added a diamond necklace, old Hollywood Waves, a silver Edie Parker clutch, and a pair of Christian Louboutin black pumps this look might be able to be elevated to a Globes worthy red carpet look. 

I 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!

"Joy" Premiere Wish List

I was less than impressed with the looks that Jennifer Lawrence pulled out for her The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 promo tour so to be say that I am not that interested to see what she will will to premiere Joy is a little bit of an understatement. I am hoping that the next season of Christian Dior without Raf Simons will bode better for the actress but until then I am not going to be holding my breath for a major moment. I would love to see JLaw rock this saffron Prabal Gurung Spring 2016 RTW gown rendered in silk charmeuse and features an a-line silhouette with a deep v-neckline and a front split at the skirt. Jennifer rocks sporty yet feminine looks like no other and I think that has been the problem with her and Dior, they are usually to overly fussy for her. This gown is simple and extremely elegant which would give Jennifer a beautiful kick off for an awards campaign. 

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

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" LA Premiere Wish List

So far Jennifer Lawrence's promo tour for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" promo tour has been lack luster. For the promo tour for the final installment of a blockbuster film franchise JLaw has been really letting me down with her Dior gowns in Berlin and London. I have been wanting to see Jennifer wearing this black sheer chiffon evening gown with the strapless white sequin circle cocktail dress underneath. I think that this gown is sporty and glamorous and a perfect look for Jennifer. I was hoping that the Dior atelier would be turning out amazing custom gowns for JLaw in the post Raf world but I am still waiting for a wow moment. This gown paired with sleek slicked back hair, a bold red lip, and a pair of black sandals would ensure that this is a major moment for Jennifer on the red carpet at the "Mockingjay: Part 2" premiere in LA.
Elizabeth Banks its killing the promo tour for this film and I am excited to see what she is going to wear for the final premiere of the film in Los Angeles. The major Elie Saab Couture moment in Berlin and the modern meets classic pant gown at the London premiere and I am hoping for modern glamour at the LA Premiere. Elizabeth wore wearing Atelier Versace for the first "Hunger Games" premiere in LA and I am hoping that she ends this one wearing Atelier Versace bringing her journey full circle. It has been a hot minute since we have seen Elizabeth in a Versace design and I am really hoping that she rocks one since I don't think anyone, except for maybe Jane Fonda, rocks Versace like Elizabeth. This white sexy Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture fitted halter gown with sheer inserts. A pair of silver Jimmy Choo sandals, a white Edie Parker clutch, a pair of emerald and diamond drop Chopard earrings, and a red lip would ensure that this gown is perfection on the red carpet.
Jena Malone have a major princess moment at the Berlin premiere of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" wearing Reem Acra and was M.I.A. at the films premiere in London. I am hoping that Jena will be back on the red carpet in LA on November 16. I would love to see Jena wear this vermilion orange Prabal Gururng Spring 2016 RTW halter gown which is very 90's and I think that Jena would rock this gown like crazy on the red carpet. Keep the styling simple with a pair of gold sandals, a gold metal box clutch, wavy bob, and some simple makeup so that Jena has a major moment for her last premiere for this series.
Julianne Moore has been slightly off her game while promoting "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" wearing black Jason Wu at the Berlin premiere (which was incredibly chic) and white Alexander McQueen in London. I am hoping that when she steps out in LA that Julianne pulls out all of the stops. This marigold yellow Giambattista Valli Fall 2015 Couture draped cape gown. This is a showstopping moment which is something that Julianne doesn't do while promoting these films but I wish she would as this would be an amazing red carpet moment. Finish the look with the runways strappy sandals, a chic updo, red lip, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings to keep this look from being overworked and Julianne will shine like the movie star that she is.
Broadway star and Tony Award winning actress Patina Miller has rocked a Zac Posen gown or two in her past red carpet appearances and I actually thought of her when this white Zac Posen Spring 2016 RTW flowing trapeze gown came down the runway. I think that this gown is edgy yet incredibly feminine which is one of the things that I expect out of a Zac Posen gown and Patina would rock the hell out of this gown on the red carpet. I would add a white leather waistband to add a little more structure to this gown because I don't think Patina quite has the height to make this gown work without a band and then add a pair of white sandals, old Hollywood waves, a red lip, and a pair of diamond cluster to finish off this look perfectly for this premiere.
Willow Shields wore a Marni gown at "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" premiere in Berlin that was just a little too grown up for the 15 year old actress. For the LA premiere I picked a much more age appropriate dress for her to wear. I think that this sweet light coral Monique Lhuillier Resort 2016 floral embroidered midi length cocktail dress which features a high round neck with a fitted bodice, a full tea skirt, and floral embroidery throughout. This is the age appropriate look that a 15 year old should be wearing on a red carpet. Willow has her whole rest of her life to wear sexy mature gowns, there are only a few years where she can get away with wearing a dress like this. A pair of silver strappy sandals, a silver clutch, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings would be the perfect accessories to finish off this look for the red carpet.

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" London Premiere Wish List

"The Hunger Game: Mockingjay Part 2" will premiere in London on Thursday November 5, 2015 and I am expecting a rather large celebrity turn out. The ladies, and gentlemen, of the series will surly be out in troves to mark the final London premiere for "The Hunger Games" franchise. Jennifer Lawrence, AKA Katniss Everdeen, is obviously going to present at the premiere and I gotta say I am quite intrigued as to what she will end up wearing. JLaw is a signed face of Christian Dior, but with the news this past week that Dior creative director Raf Simons is stepping down will Jennifer still have to wear Dior for EVERY red carpet? I guess this red carpet will be the tell. If she does wear Dior for this premiere I would love to see her wear this mauve Christian Dior Fall 2015 Couture strapless gown. This gown mixes sporty and feminine glamour which are the looks that Jennifer ends up rocking the most on the red carpet. This look paired with diamond cluster earrings, gold sandals, a gold clutch, fresh faced makeup, and a chic updo will ensure that Jennifer has a winning moment at this major premiere for her.
Elizabeth Banks has A LOT to live up to with what she wears on the red carpet for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" premiere thanks to the Elie Saab Couture gown that she wore to the premiere of "Mockingjay Part 1" last year. The first promo tours for this franchise Elizabeth rocked orange for the red carpet and I think it would be nice to see her come full circle wearing this incredibly dramatic Marchesa Spring 2016 RTW sherbet to coral ombre gown which is rendered in textured tulle and features an ombre skirt with a feathered threadwork embroidered bird bodice. This is a bold statement, definitely something her character Effie Trinket would approve of. Elizabeth has the stature to carry this gown off, the question is will she go bold or will she let JLaw shine? Elizabeth should wear a pair of gold sandals, a pink lip, and a vintage inspired updo to ensure that she doesn't overcook this look as too many accessories or jewels will ruin this beautiful statement.
Red carpet rebel Jena Malone is one that I am looking at very closely to see what she is going to wear for the "Mockingjay Part 2" premiere. I absolutely adore Jena's edgy style and it breaks up what is usually a lot of pretty on the red carpet. I would love to see Jena brave London's cold and rock the hell out of this black sheer Schiaparelli Fall 2015 Couture gown which features a beautiful gold sunburst embellished embroidery on the bodice. This gown gives a very distinct 20's Erte art deco style and I think that Jena would look incredibly chic and sexy wearing this gown. Finish the look with old Hollywood waves, a gold clutch, a pair of black sandals, and a bold red lip to keep the vintage inspired air of this look going.
Julianne Moore has been consistently killing it this year on the red carpet and I hope that she finishes with a strong promo tour for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2." Last year for the London premiere of "Mockingjay Part 1" Julianne wore looking stunning in a simple black Balenciaga cocktail gown, I am hoping for a little more drama when she takes to the red carpet for the "Mockingjay Part 2" premiere. I would love to see Julianne Moore wearing this Givenchy Couture gown that was presented alongside the Spring 2016 RTW collection. This gown is a re-envisioning of a gown that Riccardo Tisci first presented in his Givenchy Spring 2011 Couture collection and it has only gotten better. I love the brown ombre feathers on the skirt over the yellow that it was first crafted as. I think Juliane would kill this dark statement gown on the red carpet. Finish the look with a bronze clutch, a pair of bronze heels, old Hollywood waves, and a red lip and this look is for sure going to be one that people will be talking about the next day.
Gwendoline Christie is joining the ranks of the star-studded of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" for the final installment of the series. I am learning to love what the incredibly tall actress, Gwendoline is 6' 3" tall, is wearing on the red carpet and am quite looking forward to what she is going to wear for this premiere. I would pick this white Osman Spring 2016 RTW halter neck caped gown for Gwendoline to wear on this red carpet. I think that this look is classic and modern all at the same time and Gwendoline would look innately regal wearing this design. Add a pair of silver sandals, finger waves, and a pink lip and this is for sure one of the chicest moments on the red carpet.  
Natalie Dormer, like Jena Malone, usually brings something edgy to the red carpet. For the "Mockingjay Part 2" premiere in London I would love to see Natalie wear this amazing Roksanda Spring 2016 RTW primrose yellow "Lexie" dress which features an asymmetric high neck and a layered fringe construction throughout with a flat back and a black belted waist. I think that Natalie is one of the few women that could make this type of avant garde gown work on a red carpet. Now if she decided not to wear the belt I think that she would get lost in the froufiness of this gown, but I believe that she wont. Finish the look off very simply with a sleek updo, red lip, black clutch, and black sandals to ensure that this gown is not overtaken by the styling and keeps its awesome impact.

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."

2015 MTV Movie Awards: Elizabeth Banks, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence & Jennifer Lopez Wish List

The 2015 MTV Movie Awards will take place on Sunday night I am very excited to see what all of the stars will be rocking to the edgiest of the movie awards. Elizabeth Banks is nominated for Best On-Screen Transformation for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1." I am super excited to see what Elizabeth will rock on the red carpet as she has always been one of my favorite red carpet stars. I would love to see Elizabeth rock this David Koma Fall 2015 RTW embellished a-line cocktail dress. I think think that this dress is very simple and classic in its silhouette, but the embellishments help make it pack a punch. A pair of strappy black sandals, a blue Edie Parker clutch, red lip, and a simple hairstyle would ensure that Elizabeth hits all the red carpet high notes.
Emma Stone holds nominations at Sunday nights MTV Movie Awards for Best Actress thanks to her role in "Birdman" and for Best Kiss thanks to her kiss with Andrew Garfield in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." Emma, much like Elizabeth, is one that I always adore seeing on the red carpet and coming off of an amazing awards season run I am excited to see what she is going to wear. I would love see Emma don this amazing Mary Katrantzou Fall 2015 RTW 'Orlinda' pink and red dress that features a shift silhouette with a velvet flocked tulle bodice, a square neckline, embossed wool detailing in a cube pattern, and a jacquard skirt with hand embroidered PVC embellishment at the hem. This is an out there look that is going to take someone with a lot of red carpet presence to pull off and I believe that Emma has what it takes. Finish the look with a pair of simple black sandals and a fresh face of makeup will ensure that Emma slays the MTV Movie Awards red carpet.
Jennifer Lawrence has 3 nominations at the MTV Movie Awards and I am sure that she will take home at least one golden popcorn award. I loved Jennifer in her updated Dior couture version of the Pretty Woman hooker dress and I am sure that the Dior spokesmodel will wear a creation from the house for the MTV Movie Awards. I would pick this very simple black cap-sleeved Christian Dior Spring 2015 Couture mini-dress that features sequin embellishments down the center. I think that despite this being a basic LBD that Jennifer would look super chic and best dressed worthy. A black Dior clutch and a pair of blue sandals would add the perfect pizazz to this ensemble.
"The Boy Next Door" has earned Jennifer Lopez a Best Scared-As-Shit Performance nomination at the MTV Movie Awards. We are so used to seeing JLo wear embellished mini dresses that  I think that this blue and white Bibhu Mohapatra Fall 2015 RTW strapless column dress would be a perfect ensemble for her to switch things up for the MTV Awards. Not keeping a bit of sparkle away for too long I would imagine that Jennifer would finish this look with a blue Edie Parker confetti clutch, a pair of nude pumps, a sexy smokey eye, thick sexy hair, and some sort of diamonds somewhere. I think that this look could have the potential to be a favorite.

Best Dressed of January 2015

I have decided to let all of my followers in on my secret to coming up with my Best Dressed of the Year list. What I do to sift through all those amazing looks that take to the red carpet over the year is pick 10 looks each month, also all the event Top 10's, and file them away in a best dressed folder. 2015 has been off to an amazing start and I am only holding out hope for even more amazing looks from here on out. When doing these lists I take out all the looks that I loved from events like the Golden Globe and SAG Awards so that other looks have a fighting chance. Burlesque queen Dita Von Teese gave me my favorite look from January wearing a bold purple Alexis Mabille Spring 2015 Couture one shoulder corseted gown for the Sidiaction Gala in Paris. Dita pulled this gown right off the runway and just oozed glamour as she posed for the photographers. Pairing her look with her signature vintage hair style, red lip, and the runways Alexis Mabille feather clutch.
Up next we have Kate Hudson at the Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Presentation wearing a modified Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture cocktail dress. Kate Hudson wears Versace like no other woman EVER. Kate always oozes relaxed sexual glamour when wearing any Versace ensemble and this is the epitome of that ideal. Letting her blonde locks fall naturally and pairing the look with a pair of nude Christian Louboutin pointed toe pumps just made this the perfect front row ensemble. Paz Vega took to the red carpet at the Art of Elysium HEAVEN Gala, the night before the Golden Globe Awards, and really wowed me wearing a Carolina Herrera Spring 2015 RTW cap sleeve gown that features a bold floral and spectrum print on the skirt. I did not think that we would see this gown on the red carpet, so to see it on Paz and her making it look so effortless just fits her on this list in the 3rd position. Last year the only person to give Taylor Swift a run for her money on the sidewalk runway was Reese Witherspoon. Here we see Reese running errands wearing a Carolina Herrera bird printed dress which she paired with a handbag from The Row and a pair of Saint Laurent pumps. This look is chic and breezy, a look that will have many longing for spring amongst the bitter cold most are in right now.
Nicole Kidman is either love or loathe for me when she steps out on the red carpet. I was firmly on the love side when Nicole stepped out for the "Paddington" premiere in New York wearing an Elie Saab Pre-Fall 2015 tuxedo. This look just oozed glamour and Nicole made it look effortless. Stana Katic really brought the WOW factor to the red carpet at the Peoples Choice Awards to start January off on a major note wearing Carolina Herrera Resort 2015 strapless daisy embroidered ball gown. When so many wear casual and cocktail dresses many will say that Stana was overdressed, and I am included to agree, but when she looks as beautiful as she does then who cares? When Keira Knightley stepped out at the Critics Choice Movie Awards, wearing Delpozo Fall 2014 RTW, I let out a sigh of relief. Keira has not had a very good 2015, which is really disappointing after her amazing run last year. Keira wants to conceal her baby bump, and I can understand that, and this Delpozo has been the best drapery for that bump all year. She looked like a goddess.
After a VERY disappointing 2015, Jennifer Lawrence gave me an amazing look at the Producers Guild Awards wearing a custom Prada gown. This look polarized critics as many did not like the crystal patch on JLaw's stomach. I loved everything about this look. It was elegant, soft, and sweet. All things that I don't necessarily think of when I think of JLaw on the red carpets. Another look from the Art of Elysium's HEAVEN Gala on the list comes from Jena Malone, Lawrences "Mockingjay" costar, wearing a look from Adam Selman's Spring 2015 RTW collection. I have to say that I skipped right over this gown when I scrolled through the pictures of this collection when it was presented last September. Jena breathed life into this pearl accented a-line cap sleeve gown. Her sleek red locks made this look with a real stunner on the red carpet. Finally I have Emily Blunt wearing a custom David Koma cocktail ensemble at the "Into The Woods" London premiere. This cocktail dress is different in its cut and the ombre crystals just added to the look. Natural hair and makeup and simple cream sandals finished off a look that was all about a statement making dress.

2015 Critics Choice Awards Wish List Part 1

With a snub at tonight's Golden Globe Awards, which I am not sure if we will see Mrs Jolie at or not, Angelina Jolie's Oscar campaign is off to a rough start. Her sophomore film as a director "Unbroken" did however earn her a nomination for Best Director at the Critics Choice Movie Awards Thursday night. We will know by the time to red carpet opens if her awards season journey will start and end in the evening or if she will continue on to Academy Awards as the film nominations come earlier that morning. For the Critics Choice Awards red carpet I would love to see Angie really bring a masculine dressing to its feminine knees by wearing this Saint Laurent Spring 2015 RTW suit ensemble. I love that the coat is a mix of vintage tail coat with an oversized double breasted suit jacket, add the masculine pant shape and the black chiffon blouse and I think that this is a look made for Angelina. Finish the look with flowing Veronica Lake waves, a red lip, diamond cluster earrings, and a pair of black Saint Laurent pumps and Angie is ready to take on the critics.
Surprisingly Emily Blunt's nomination at Thursday nights Critics Choice Movie Awards is not for "Into The Woods," instead she is nominated for Best Actress in an Action Movie for her work in "Edge of Tomorrow." That one day 3 city 3 look promo tour was amazing and Emily really had a great 2014 on the red carpet and I am expecting that will continue through the 2015 Academy Awards. For the Critics Choice Awards I would love to see Emily wear this turquoise degrade Elie Saab Spring 2015 RTW silk georgette sleeveless gown. I love this color, it really is my favorite color, and I think that Emily is the right woman to take this gown and make it sing a beautiful song on the red carpet. Add a simple pair of diamond earrings, a turquoise clutch, and a pair of pool blue sandals to accessorize this look perfectly with a beauty look like a simple updo and a red lip and Emily will be like a cool drink of water working the Critics Choice Movie Awards red carpet.
Emma Stone always makes bold red carpet choices that usually leave me breathless. I think that this would be the case if she showed up at the 2015 Critics Choice Movie Awards, where she is nominated for Best Supporting Actress, wearing this black and white Nina Ricci Spring 2015 RTW patchwork lace gown that features a reverse halter neck, a sheer mesh back panel and an asymmetric draped skirt. I think that this gown is classic with a twist which is the perfect type of look for the Critics Choice Awards. Finish the look with a bold clutch, simple black sandals, a chic updo, and a bold red lip and Emma will have another look that would blow me away.
Felicity Jones has a red carpet safety zone when it comes to colors. She is usually in dark dark colors or in very pale colors. I figure that at the Critics Choice Movie Awards Thursday night we will see Felicity in a dark color. Nominated for Best Actress thanks to "The Theory of Everything," I would love to see Felicity wear this midnight blue Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2014 floral jersey cutout gown. I think that this classic silhouette is perfect for this awards show which is much less formal than tonight's Golden Globe Awards. A matching midnight blue Edie Parker clutch and dyed to match Charlotte Olympia pumps would finish this look off perfectly for the Critics Choice red carpet.
I do not like Jennifer Aniston, never have, and it is likely that I never will. I just do not understand her draw. She is boring and never breathes any life into the looks that she is wearing. Its like she is a tan mannequin with hair that matches the rest. She wears white, cream, nude, and black for every red carpet and mostly black. That is white I picked this Naeem Khan Pre-Fall 2015 v-neck gown with an exaggerated keyhole at the back, and crystal beading throughout the floor length mermaid silhouette. While I do not think that she breaths any life into the looks she wears this classically pretty beaded gown the dress might make her shine where her personality lacks. Ok. Done.
Jennifer Lawrence is nominated for Best Actress in an Action Movie at Thursday nights Critics Choice Movie Awards. The Dior darling usually takes this awards show off wearing the French couture houses creations. I am hoping, even though she is not confirmed to attend any of the major awards shows, that that trend continues. I would love to see JLaw wear this stunning black and white Prabal Gurung Spring 2015 RTW gown that features a racerback overlay with a high round neck that splits at the back over an embellished turquoise strapless bustier gown with sheer floor length skirt.I think that this is the type of look that Jen needs to wear on the red carpet, chic and elegant yet very sporty all at the same time, not overly fussy Dior couture. Finish this look with a pair of black sandals and some simple diamond drop earrings and Jennifer is set to rock the Critics Choice red carpet.
