2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish List Part 5

Best Dressed of January 2016

 Well we have the first Best Dressed list for a month. Just as a friendly reminder I don't include the major red carpets that I cover in different capacities over the blog, like the Golden Globe or SAG Awards, so that I can allow for some of the other beautiful looks that grace red carpets around the world. Topping the Best Dressed of January list is Dakota Johnson who was so flirty and feminine on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon wearing a Gucci Spring 2016 RTW cocktail dress. I have been on one side or the other but I finally believe that Dakota Johnson is finding her red carpet footing on the red carpet and I am starting to love her almost every time that she steps out. This was the look that firmly cemented her in my one to watch podium.

 When Awards Season 2016 kicked off at the Palm Springs International Awards Gala I was very taken by Cate Blanchett in her custom Marc Jacobs gown. I found this vintage inspired gown to be something that Cate was absolutely enchanting wearing. Since then I have been very let down by Cate and I am hoping that she gets back on her red carpet footing before the Academy Awards at the end of this month. 

Jourdan Dunn earns her first post on the blog in a coveted Best Dressed spot thanks to her absolutely beautiful Burberry look that she wore to sit front row at the Burberry Fall 2016 Menswear presentation. I love everything about this look from the fur vest to the olive shirt dress to the strappy Burberry sandals and the absolutely stunning hair and makeup. Sometimes front row fashions can go too over the top but this look feels authentic to Jourdan's personal style. 

Last year through awards season Rosamund Pike really didn't wow me but I was finally blown away by one of her look with this sizzling crimson Azzedine Alaia gown which she wore to the IWC 'Come Fly with us' Gala Dinner. This gown mixed chic sex appeal with classic glamour. I am usually not a fan of Alaia on the red carpet but this gown was one of the absolutely best Alaia moments on the red carpet ever. 

 Alicia Vikander has been consistently showing up on the red carpets this awards season looking absolutely fabulous. While her Golden Globes and SAG Awards gowns might have been dictated to be Louis Vuitton based on her contract Alicia strays from the brand for some of the smaller red carpet parties. For the W Magazine celebration of the 'Best Performances' Portfolio and The Golden Globes Alicia wore a stunning Marc Jacobs Resort 2016 abstract floral print cocktail dress. I love that Alicia gives me a varied number of different styles of looks so it was hard picking which of her looks was going to feature on this list and this Marc Jacobs dress just took the cake.

The People's Choice Awards are usually a more laid back and and casual event so when major movie star Kate Hudson stepped out I was extremely intrigued to see what she was going to be wearing. The strapless ivory Stella McCartney tuxedo inspired jumpsuit that she wore for the red carpet was something that really spoke to me. I love to see Kate in these relaxed high glam type of looks as her boho glam type of style really shows through in this type of look. 

December was really a great month for Star Wars: The Force Awakens breakout star Daisy Ridley and I actually made an exception to add this stunning purple Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2016 floral gown which she wore to the films premiere in Tokyo as she wore it after my Best Dressed of the Year list was posted but still before the first of the year. Daisy has already cemented her fashionista credentials by wearing looks from coveted brands like Chanel, Dior and Giambattista Valli but it was this complicated gown that I only pictured Diane Kruger pulling off that really made Daisy the "It" girl for me. I am kinda hoping that she gets the call to present at the Oscars.

Tessa Thompson knows exactly what to do to blow me away for a major movie premiere. She took one of my favorite gowns from the Marc Jacobs Spring 2016 RTW collection and went all old Hollywood with the styling letting the abstract gown do all of the talking for the London premiere of Creed. I had high expectations for Tessa for this premiere and she definitely did not let me down. 

The addition of Diane Kruger to this list for her stunning Giambattista Valli Spring 2015 Couture cocktail dress worn to the Sidaction Gala might be a little self serving because I posted a prediction just the day before that she would wear this on the red carpet on Pinterest and I love when my wishes come true. Diane always knows how to work a more complicated look and this definitely could have gone in a bad direction but her classic styling with pulled back waves, red lip, silver clutch, and strappy Giambattista Valli sandals just ensured that this was a stunning look on Diane.

I welcome Gigi Hadid to the ranks of women who have made it to my Best Dressed list with her wearing one of my favorite looks from the Sally Lapointe Pre-Fall 2016 collection for the 'The Power Of Colors' MAYBELLINE New York Make-Up Runway show. As it was an event for Maybelline, which Gigi is a face of, her hair and makeup were on point and I do not begrudge her pointed pumps with the feathered details of the gown. Gigi took this complicated gown and wore it with such ease that it was simple for me to award her a spot on this list. 

Who was your best dressed? You can see all the looks that I considered for this list over on my Facebook page, and I would love to know who is on your list.

2016 Golden Globe Awards: Presenter Wish List Part 1

The Golden Globe Awards are only a few days away and the lists of presenters are starting to roll in. With each new tweet I get more and more excited, it seems like all of Hollywood is planing on turning out on Sunday. Amber Heard helped kick off awards season this past Saturday at the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala, but I was sadly disappointed in her black lace Dolce & Gabbana gown which had a black bralet and a nude pencil skirt lining. I am praying that Amber really brings the sexy to the red carpet at the Globe's on Sunday and I think that she would rock the hell out of this champagne Ralph & Russo Fall 2015 Couture silk corseted gown with its off the shoulder neckline and draped skirt with a sexy split. This dress reminds me of a Grecian goddess and I believe that Amber would absolutely beautiful wearing this gown on the red carpet. Old Hollywood waves, a red lip, a gold Marchesa embellished clutch, a pair of Jimmy Choo gold 'Lance' sandals, and a pair of dazzling vintage yellow gold set Van Cleef & Arpels diamond earrings would make me fall in love with Amber on this red carpet.

 It was only Tuesday that the Antonio Berardi Pre-Fall 2016 collection was presented in London. I am hoping that this color and patterned blocked column gown will be on a plane on it's way to the back of Amy Adams for the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday. When I first saw this gown in the lookbook Amy immediately popped into my mind so when she was announced as a presenter at the Globes my mind went straight to this gown for her red carpet moment. Many stars don't take the risk of wearing patterns on the red carpet at these big red carpets but I think that this is done in such a chic and modern way that Amy would look amazing. The navy coloring in this gown would compliment Amy's peachy pink complexion and stand out against her flaming red locks. Finish the look with a black Rauwolf clutch, a pair of black Brian Atwood peep toe pumps, a red lip, old Hollywood waves, a pair of dazzling Cartier diamond earrings, and a Cartier diamond bracelet to make this the perfect look for the modern woman on a Hollywood red carpet.

At the 2015 Emmy Awards Jaimie Alexander set herself up to be a woman to watch on the red carpet wearing a custom Armani Prive multi-color long sleeved gown. I am excited to see what the Blindspot actress is going to wear on Sunday at the Golden Globe Awards. I would love to see her step out wearing this black and white velvet devore Zac Posen Spring 2016 RTW gown which features an inverted halter that drapes at the back, a relaxed floor length silhouette, and an exposed split at the back. This relaxed silhouette is something different for Jaimie who tends to stick to more fitted looks, but I think that this gown would look absolutely fantastic on her. This gown needs someone confident to wear it on the red carpet as many would get lost wearing this type of silhouette alone and add the print this is a downright difficult gown to wear. Finish this look with a vintage inspired bob, art-deco diamond drop earrings, a black clutch, and a pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals and this look is fantastic for Globes red carpet

So far Julianne Moore has been the hardest person to pick a gown for. I went through all of the recent and archived collections trying to pick something that just screamed Julianne, and I couldn't find a single thing. I am figuring that Julianne will wear a custom gown by one of her friends like Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy, Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, or Tom Ford. I really hope so. If I had to pick a runway dress for Julianne it would be this Brandon Maxwell Spring 2016 RTW gown with its column silhouette and its dramatic train, but I would have it made in a bordeaux red or emerald green. While the black is dramatic on it's own (and a great backdrop for some amazing statement earrings) I would really love to see Julianne wearing color. I personally would love this in emerald with a gold clutch, yellow gold set Bulgari diamond and emerald earrings, a pair of gold pumps, chic updo, and a red lip to ensure that Julianne has a major moment on the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday night.

Kate Hudson was kinda difficult because almost every look that I said "OOOOOOO she would look great in that" was white, and I don't think that after having such a major white moment at the Golden Globe Awards last year that she will do that again so soon. When I scrolled past this gold short sleeve column silhouette Marchesa Pre-Fall 2016 Gown with a scalloped v-neckline and bugle beaded fringe detailing I mentally dressed Kate in it and my breath was taken away. Kate really does high fashion bohemian like no other on the red carpet and I think that this gown would just come to life on her. I would keep the gold laser cut Marchesa clutch that the gown was paired with on the runway and add a pair of gold Christian Louboutin sandals, a pink lip & a simple updo to finish this look off for Kate.

I am crazy excited that Olivia is going to be on the red carpet at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday! Olivia has such a chic high glam type of look and she always leaves me speechless when she steps out. While she is not usually one to go big or go home I would love to see her wearing this Elie Saab Fall 2015 Couture wine red beaded spaghetti strap gown which features a caped back. The only reservation I can see someone having about wearing this gown on the Globes red carpet is the comparisons to the red caped Ralph Lauren gown that Lupita Nyong'o wore in 2014. Olivia has this modern glamour that would take this gown into such an elegant place and would definitely put her in contention for best dressed on this red carpet. 

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!

2016 People's Choice Awards Red Carpet Roundup

So last night the first televised awards show of the year kicked off, the People's Choice Awards. I am not going to spend too much time because this red carpet was a mishmosh of crap with a few hidden gems. The big surprise for me was just how many women showed up wearing full on gowns when the dress code for the People's Choice Awards is usually much more relaxed casual/cocktail attire. My favorite look of the night was Kate Hudson in her cream Stella McCartney tuxedo jumpsuit followed by Dakota Johnson in Armani Prive Spring 2014 Couture. Surprise favorites were Meghan Trainor in Balmain Fall 2015 RTW and Kat Graham in David Koma. I was disappointed in Priyanka Chopra as her Vera Wang Spring 2016 RTW dress reminded me of a major Carey Mulligan in Prada moment from a few Met Gala's ago, and Carey wore it better. Everyone else failed to excite. My worst dressed at the event was Keke Palmer who looked like she was auditioning for a role on the next Star Wars film with her rat tail/Jedi braid and Yousef Al Jasmi Spring 2016 Couture top and skirt which looks like something leftover from the 80's. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come this year.

2016 People's Choice Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 2

At the People's Choice Awards next Wednesday I am interested to see what Dakota Johnson will wear on the red carpet as she is nominated for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress thanks to 50 Shades of Grey and she is also going to be presenting. People's Choice is a more casual version of an awards show so I think that this black Michael Kors Spring 2016 RTW shirt dress embellished with neck ribbons and grommets on the tiered skirt. This is a casual meets cocktail type of look and with the right styling I think that this dress would be perfect on Dakota for the People's Choice Awards red carpet. Keeping the runways belt and adding a pair of strappy sandals, a slicked back bun, and a red lip would ensure that Dakota keeps up the love I have of her on the People's Choice red carpet.

After nabbing the number 2 spot on my Best Dressed of the Year list it would seem that Emmy Rossum has a lot to live up to in 2016 and I know that she can handle the pressure. I am hoping that the actress, who thanks to her show Shameless, is nominated for the Favorite Premium Cable TV Actress will take to the red carpet at the 2016 People's Choice Awards. To keep up her flirty feminine style what better look to choose than this Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall marigold and blush 3D guipure lace sleeveless dress. The moment I saw this dress in the lookbook I put it on reserve for Emmy so I really hope that she works her magic and gets her hands on this fantastic flirty dress. While I appreciate that Monique was trying to make this look more modern with the ankle boots, I would pair this look with a chic pair of simple gold sandals, a pink lip, and a gold metallic clutch to finish this look off perfectly for Emmy.

Like Dakota, Jennifer Lopez is nominated for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress at the People's Choice Awards next Wednesday. We all know JLo has a flair for the dramatic and the sexy and this Naeem Khan Spring 2016 RTW gunmetal grey beaded chiffon halter jumpsuit is exactly what she would wear for an event like this. I know many are looking for something new from Jennifer but I know that when she does what she knows best, at it's best, that she truly shines on the red carpet. I would have Jennifer wear hear hair sleek with this jumpsuit adding minimal accessories like a pair of metallic gunmetal grey Jimmy Choo sandals and a red lip to ensure that this is JLo at her best and nothing less.

Julianne Hough has been on a lot of red carpets recently and I do not know why, at the People's Choice Awards she will be attending as a presenter with her Grease: Live co-stars Vanessa Hudgens and Carly Rae Jepsen. I am hoping that the try hardness that came with most of her looks in 2015 will be absent on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards. I picked this black and white floral printed J. Mendel Spring 2016 RTW ensemble that consists of a chiffon micro-pleated blouse and mini skirt. This is the perfect look to help Julianne kick off 2016 in the right way, it is chic and simple and perfectly event appropriate. A pair of silver pumps or sandals and a silver Edie Parker clutch would be the perfect accessories to add to this look with chic simple curls and a pink lip to ensure that Julianne has a magical moment on the red carpet.

Kate Hudson will be on hand at the 2016 People's Choice Awards as a presenter. This news was very exciting to me because Kate had a GREAT year on the red carpet in 2015 and I am excited to see what 2016 will bring to her. I decided to pair Kate with the brand that landed her on the 2015 Best Dressed of the Year list for this red carpet, Versace. I think that since that Kate is a big movie star and not overly showy that this Versace Pre-Fall 2016 black pencil dress with detailed top which has a bit of sky blue in the featured spaghetti straps. This is the chic sexy look that I know Kate has the body and presence for. Finished with a pair of sky blue Jimmy Choo pumps, a black clutch, and a lightly smokey eye will finish this look off perfectly for this red carpet.

2015 End of the Year Style Awards: Best Dressed of 2015

First off I would like to wish all of my readers a very Merry Christmas. I hope everyone is spending the day with family and enjoying the day. On this day of celebration and gift giving I am gifting to all of you a host of beautiful women in my Best Dressed of the Year list. Taking the top spot is Lea Seydoux in custom bright sunshine yellow Prada at the 2015 BAFTA Awards. This was a major moment that made my jaw drop the moment I saw it. For the most part I was very disappointed in the BAFTA red carpet as there was nothing all that interesting until Lea showed up. This dramatic yet extremely elegant gown is one of the best things that Prada has ever put on the red carpet. It was however hard to choose between Lea's looks as they have all been amazing this year. I am excited to continue to see Lea be embraced by mainstream films because I want to see her on more big promo tour red carpets.

Following closely to Lea is Emmy Rossum who exuded lady like elegance at the The New York Botanical Garden's annual Conservatory Ball wearing a beautiful water inspired Carolina Herrera Fall 2015 RTW. If Lea and Prada weren't such a match made in heaven this would have been my number one look of the year. Everything about this look exudes chicness, from the diamond drop earrings to the sweeping updo, and the red lip. This will be a look that will rank in Emmy's record books for many years to come. 

Sonam Kapoor is a stunning spokesmodel for L'Oreal Paris in India. Before she got her hands on this contract I had no idea who she was but slowly over the years she has been taking the Cannes Film Festival by storm and I have been loving more and more of her looks. This year I fell in love with this stunning Ashi Studio couture gown that Sonam wore for the L’Oreal Paris ‘Matte or Gloss’ Cannes Collection Launch prior to this years festival. The sculptural-ness of this gown made me absolutely fall in love with it. This gown is so unique in it's shape that most would end up being overwhelmed, and Sonam worked it like it owed her back rent. 

Kerry Washington stepped out for the 2015 Emmy Awards and she worked the hell out of this Marc Jacobs Spring 2016 RTW completely embellished cocktail dress. Kerry broke standard awards show dress code rules by showing up in a short dress. While I would have been even more in love with this as a gown I applaud Kerry for stepping out of the standard box and going with a look from my favorite Spring 2016 RTW collection. This collection was made for adventurous spirits like Kerry. Oh and on a side note, Kerry is the only woman to make an appearance on both this years Best and Worst Dressed lists.

Kate Hudson and Atelier Versace has always been a match made in heaven. This white gown embellished with swarovski crystals and its plunging neckline has been on my mind all year. As I think back on all of my favorite moments that Kate Hudson has had on the red carpet almost all of them that come to mind immediately have been in white. What I love about this look is that while everything about this look on paper should read cheap, tacky, pageant dress but on Kate it is chic, demure with the right amount of sexy. 

How to do you go out with a bang? Just look at Elizabeth Banks who kicked off the final promo tour for the Hunger Games series with Mockingjay Part 2 in grand style wearing an Elie Saab Fall 2015 Couture floral ball gown at the films world premiere in Berlin. This is a beautiful princess moment that I can picture her character, Effie Trinkett, being quite proud of. It may not have been the Atelier Versace moment that I was expecting but it is even more spectacular than what I was expecting. 

I always have one street style look on the list. I am always one of the people who loves a great moment of personal style. Lupita Nyong'o was spotted leaving The View wearing a dress from the BOSS Fall 2015 RTW dress that she paired with a matching blazer, a grey BOSS "Bespoke" handbag, red suede pointed toe pumps, and a pair of black sunglasses. This is an edgy feminine version of a power suit that I immediately fell for. If you are looking for inspiration for hot work wear this is exactly what you should be using as inspiration.

Julianne Moore had an amazing year and it really was hard picking a favorite look of her's to feature on the Best Dressed of the Year list. With all kinds of custom gowns from Chanel and Givenchy it was surprising to me that my favorite look from the stunning redhead was her all black Armani Prive gown worn to the Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony. I love a redhead in black and Julianne pulled off this stunning gown embellished with crystals and feathers. I think it was the feathers, and the emerald Chopard earrings, that made me really love this gown. I am a sucker for feathers. Sleek hair and a perfectly executed smokey eye finished this look to perfection.

Lily James's rise to fashion stardom was paved with princess dresses from the likes of Dior and Elie Saab but it was her sleek modern icy grey/blue custom Balenciaga gown with brass buttons at the "Cinderella" premiere in London. For almost all the premieres it was ball gowns so I was very happy to see Lily change it up with this look. I love how she kept the styling simple adding sleek slicked back hair, a lined eye, and pink pout. This is how you do modern Cinderella. Lily at the end of the year cut her hair and dyed it dark and it's almost like she lost her mojo. I am hoping that she returns to top form in 2016, because this type of moment is one that is forever needed.

Finally I picked Blake Lively in her stunning red Monique Lhuillier Fall 2012 RTW gown at the New York premiere of her film "The Age of Adeline." The promo tour for this film was so much better than the movie and honestly she might have been a little overdressed for the occasion. Blake gave us sexy Marilyn bombshell in this dress which fused ruffles, lace, leather, and volume. The old Hollywood waves, Lorraine Schwartz diamond ear clips added to the high glamour of the look and a Judith Leiber "Koi Fish" swarovski crystal clutch added a quirky fun touch to ensure that Blake sizzled down the carpet. 

It was a hard job taking over 1,300 red carpet looks and narrowing it down to 10 looks. It is a daunting task but someone has to do it. I want to take this moment to thank all of you for helping me have a wonderful year with If I Was A Stylist. 2016 starts a new chapter on my personal journey as for the first time I don't have any school to attend. I am going to work on balancing work life, with blogging and still having time for friends and family. I am formulating some new features for the blog based on things I want to add and things that I have been getting back in my feedback. If you haven't taken my survey please do. It is only 6 questions that help me give you guys what you most want to see. All the feedback I get helps me make your experience on this site more enjoyable. Awards season posts will start on Monday so I am excited to show all of you my wishes.

If I Was A Stylist Best Oscar Looks of All Time

 

2015 Vanity Fair Oscar After Party Wish List Part 2

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 Golden Globe Awards: Amal, Gwyneth, Kate, Kristen, & Salma Wish List

George Clooney is going to be the recipient of this years Cecil B. DeMille award and I am hoping that new wife Amal Alamuddin-Clooney will be on his arm to support him. We all fell in love with Amal during her wedding weekend when she paraded around in designers like Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney, Giambattista Valli Couture, Alexander McQueen, and Oscar de la Renta. I am hoping that we will continue to see her showcase amazing style at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night. I am picking this red and black Armani Prive Fall 2014 Couture peplum column gown. I think that this silhouette and color would look absolutely amazing on Amal who has that exotic beauty about her. A chic updo, black Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals, a black clutch, and a red lip would ensure that Amal is able to stand her own against all the nominated movie stars.

Gwyneth Paltrow will be on hand Sunday night as a presenter. The actress is no doubt going to me making the rounds as her film "Mortdecai" with Johnny Depp gets its theatrical release on January 23. I am praying that we see Gwyneth bring her certain type of exquisiteness to the red carpet. As she is just a presenter I don't imagine that she will wear an over the top red carpet look. I picked this simple black Boss Pre-Fall 2015 gown with a simple silhouette and an elegant draped chiffon cowel back. I think that this is a perfect gown for Gwyn as she will be able to breath an amazing amount of life into this black gown. A pair of dazzling diamond chandelier earrings, a diamond cuff, hair pulled up into a chic bun, a black clutch, and a pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals would finish this look perfectly for the Golden Globes red carpet. 

Kate Hudson had an amazing year last year on the red carpet and I am praying that she will be bringing the same to the red carpets this year. As a presenter I would love to see Kate wear this stunning Chanel Fall 2014 Couture embellished gown. The embellishments on this gown are a mix of crystals, paillettes, and concrete beads. The gown I have heard weighs something like 85 pounds and I think that if anyone could wear this and make it look easy it is Kate. A pair of gunmetal Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps, a gunmetal Edie Parker clutch, and simple earrings are the perfect accessories for this red carpet look. Finish the look with a chic beachy updo and a bright pink lip color will ensure that Kate has an amazing red carpet moment on her hands.

Kristen Wiig tends not to be a favorite of mine when she takes to the red carpet. I am hoping that come Sunday night at the Golden Globe Awards, where she will be a presenter, that she gives me a major red carpet ensemble. I picked this Marchesa Pre-Fall 2015 embroidered ribbon lace short sleeve mermaid gown that is rendered in a nylon net and features a mermaid silhouette with a scoop neckline and allover beaded embroidery on a ribbon lace. I think that this gown would look absolutely amazing on Kristen on the Golden Globe red carpet. Keeping the look simple with a pair of basic black Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals and simple earrings will finish this look off in a perfect way for Kristen to work on the Globes red carpet.

Salma Hayek will be on hand Sunday night as well as one of the presenters at the Golden Globe Awards. I figure that the first lady of the Gucci Group will wear a custom gown from one of the brands houses like Gucci, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, or Balenciaga. Again as I have said with other stars who I am sure will wear custom I can not exactly predict, though I am predicting Gucci Premiere, what exactly the gown will look like. So instead I picked this Alexander McQueen beaded bodice strapless black gown from Bergdorf Goodman. I know that this is actually highly unlikely but I think that Salma would look stunning wearing this design.

If you want to join the conversation I will be joining Kelly from Dream In Lace with a live Twitter commentary on what all the stars are wearing. So please join me (@FutureStylist93) and Kelly (@DreamInLace) at about 5 PM EST for all kinds of fashion ID's and LOTS of snarky commentary.

"Wish I Was Here" LA Premiere Wish List

Monday at the theater at the Directors Guild of America in LA the stars of "Wish I Was Here" will take to the red carpet to premiere the film. Kate Hudson is among the cast I am EXTREMELY excited to see what she is going to wear. Kate has had a fantastic year thus far style wise and I am hoping that it is kept up come Monday night. This creamy pink and fuchsia Giambattista Valli Spring 2014 Couture mini dress is perfect for this red carpet appearance. This gown would show off Kate's stunning legs while being extremely sexy and sophisticated all at the same time. I would finish this look with a dyed to match fuchsia platform sandals and a gold minaudiere. Hair and makeup wise I would have Kate style her hair in an up-do with simple eye makeup and a light pink lip to ensure that she looks as sexy as ever.

2014 White House Correspondents Dinner: Guests Wish List Part 1

2014 Met Ball: Kate Hudson, Lupita Nyong'o, & Miley Cyrus Wish List

Coming off the coat tails of her stunning Oscar night Atelier Versace and Zuhair Murad Couture gowns I am hoping that Kate Hudson will keep up her game for the 2014 Met Ball. When picking a look for the Met, Kate usually runs to her gal pal Stella McCartney for a custom gown. Well I am hoping that Kate shuns the gowns and rocks one of the fringe Stella McCartney Fall 2014 RTW mini dresses. I picked this navy and royal blue high neck mini because I want Kate to show off her stunning legs and I think that the color would just accentuate Kate's eyes and bombshell blonde hair. Old Hollywood waves over one shoulder, neutral makeup, a blue Edie Parker clutch, and some simple blue peep toe pumps will finish off this look perfect for the red carpet.

Lupita Nyong'o ran the red carpet during awards season with no fewer than 18 stunning red carpet ensembles in the first 2 months of the year. I am hoping that the new fashion darling will take to the red carpet at the 2014 Met Ball, and I think that this is a very major possibility. While another custom Prada or Miu Miu gown is expected I am going to take my wish is a totally different direction. I think that this orange Prabal Gurung Fall 2014 RTW gown with a mosaic metallic bodice would give Lupita a look that would be admired for being incredibly ballsy. There are not many women in the world that I can picture wearing this gown and being able to rock it off the runway and Lupita is one of them. Some gold jewelry and gold pumps will make for this absolutely amazing look for Lupita's very first Costume Institute Gala.

Miley Cyrus has just put an indefinite postponement on her 'Bangerz' tour so I am not so sure if she will take to the Met Ball red carpet in 2014. Usually Miley does take to this red carpet so it will be different to not see her taking to this red carpet If she does I would love to see Miley wear this Armani Prive Spring 2014 Couture gown with loads of embellishments and spaghetti straps. This is a slinky silhouette that Miley loves when it comes to her formal red carpet dressing as of late. I would add a navy Chanel clutch and some simple black Saint Laurent 'Janis' sandals to complete this amazing red carpet ensemble for Miley.
