2014 BET Awards Wish List Part 1

2014 Critics Choice Television Awards Wish List Part 2

Amy Poehler is nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series at the 2014 Critics Choice Television Awards come Thursday evening. I am hoping to see Amy keep up her awesome run from the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, even if it was in all black. I am picking yet another black gown for Amy to wear Thursday night but I believe that she is taking small steps to looking even more amazing than she used to. This body hugging Kaufmanfranco Fall 2014 RTW black sheath gown with a sweeping train and under bust cutout is perfect for Amy to wear. I do believe that this gown has cutouts on the hips as well but I would have this look modified to remove those. A black sparkling clutch, a pair of simple Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals in black, and a pair of pretty and simple diamond earrings would ensure that Amy looks absolutely fantastic on the Critics Choice red carpet.

The HBO film "The Normal Heart" has garnered Julia Roberts a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Movie or Mini-Series at the 2014 Critics Choice Television Awards. After giving me disappointing look after disappointing look during awards season I do not have high hopes if she even attends Thursday's red carpet. I figure that Julia will turn back to one of her favored brands Valentino, Givenchy, or Dolce & Gabbana. I am picking this black Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2014 RTW lace long sleeve gown for Julia. Nothing inspiring but typical Julia.

Minnie Driver has given some awesome red carpet looks in the past as a supporting actress at movie premieres and I am hoping that she kills it Thursday night at the Critics Choice Television Awards where she is nominated for Best Actress in a Movie or Mini-Series for her Lifetime film "Return to Zero." This navy Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Resort 2015 gown is typical of the Westwood legacy but I think that Minnie would look absolutely stunning wearing this amazing creation. A sparking navy Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver sandals, and some stunning diamond and sapphire earrings would make this look stand out even with its classic silhouette and muted colors.

Robin Wright usually sticks to covered up black ensembles when she takes to the red carpet. In the past two years she has made 8 red carpet appearances in black, black and white, nude, and navy so dark it might as well have been black and all very basic designs at that. I am hoping to see Robin revert back to the stunning red carpet dresser that she used to be prior to her divorce from Sean Penn. I have picked this Prabal Gurung Resort 2015 lace sequin embroidered lace cap sleeve top gown with a black and ink blue chiffon skirt for Robin to wear on the red carpet Thursday night where she is nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series for the Netflix original series "House of Cards." It is not way to far out of her usual comfort zone but it is all at the same time. A pair of simple Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals in black, an ink blue Edie Parker clutch, and a pair of simple diamond cluster earrings would help waltz Robin right back onto the worlds Best Dressed lists.

2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards Wish List Part 2

Gwyneth Paltrow's role as Pepper in 'Iron Man 3' has scored the blonde a Best Actress in an Action Movie nomination at the 2014 Critics Choice Awards. Gwynie gave one of the most talked about looks of the year in Antonio Berardi at the LA premiere of 'Iron Man 3.' I am hoping to see her keep the sexy going but by picking this plum colored Atelier Versace Fall 2013 Couture gown she will keep the sexy but in a subtle sophisticated way. A pair of strappy Jimmy Choo 'Madison' sandals in black, a silver Jimmy Choo crystal encrusted clutch, a pair of Atelier Versace sunburst diamond earrings, and an Atelier Versace diamond ring would be the perfect icing on top of this sexy cake.

Jennifer Lawrence has 2 nominations at the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards. One for Best Supporting Actress for 'American Hustle' and another for Best Actress in an Action Movie for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,' which she won for the original earlier this year. Going through awards season as a Christian Dior spokesmodel, the Critics Choice Awards was one of the few events where she did not grab up a frock from the company that signs her checks in favor of a stunning black Prabal Gurung gown. For the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards I am hoping that it will be another night off for Dior in favor of this electric blue Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2014 RTW halter neck gown. This is the kind of dress that Jennifer needs to be wearing. As someone with an athletic build JLaw should be going more towards the sportier type ensembles. Finish the look with a gold and black Jimmy Choo 'Mosaic' box clutch and a pair of black Jimmy Choo 'Vamp' sandals to keep the look simple and ready for a best dressed appearance.

Jessica Chastain is an expected presenter at the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards after taking home the Best Actress trophy at last years awards ceremony for her work in 'Zero Dark Thirty,' that also gave her an Academy Award nomination. I have been praying to see Jessica Chastain to wear one of the emerald green gowns from the Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture collection and I think that this high neck column gown with a green tulle and lace cape would be the perfect choice for the stunning red headed actress wear on the red carpet the Critics Choice Movie Awards. The dress is stunning enough on its own that all I would add to this gown is a simple pair of metallic gold sandals and her hair worn over one shoulder in a set of dramatic Veronica Lake waves.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus snagged herself a Best Actress in a Comedy nomination for her work in the film 'Enough Said' at the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards. The star of the big and small screen has moments that I love her look on the red carpet and times where that love is not so much. For this awards show I think that this white KaufmanFranco Spring 2014 RTW long sleeved gown would be a simple and elegant perfect gown for Julia to don. This dress makes for a perfect back drop to add a sparkling silver and white Edie Parker chevron clutch, a pair of simple silver sandals, and maybe a pair of statement earrings will make sure that Julia wins the hearts of fashion critics everywhere.

'August: Osage County' has snagged Julia Roberts a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the 2014 Critics Choice Movie Awards. While I am praying that during the course of awards season that we do not see Julia wear black dress after black dress, after all she pulls off color like a pro, I think that this simple black Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2014 draped gown is a perfect option for the 46 year old actress. This gown is another black gown but its draping makes it interesting and I think that Julia would style it up with a pair of statement Van Cleef and Arpels vintage sapphire, diamond, and emerald earrings, a pair of simple black Casadei satin peep toe pumps, a black satin Prada box clutch, and a gold and diamond bracelet will give this look the perfect finishing touches to complete this red carpet ensemble.

Best Dressed Newcomer: Camila Alves

There were a bunch of celebrities in the running for this award but when I compared each of their bodies of work, I decided that Camila Alves was the one who is the best. Since she made her coming out at the Lincoln Lawyer Los Angeles Premiere. Camila is the model girlfriend and baby mama to stud Mathew McConaughey, so that is why she attended this premiere. She did so wearing a custom made Camilla & Marc black one shoulder silk gown paired with a Kotur clutch and Pomellato jewelery.

Camila let out her sexy side for the US Weekly Hot Hollywood Party, wearing a sexy but expected red Dolce & Gabbana bustier dress. Camila takes this stale dress and makes it absolutely stunning and breaths a new breath of life to this dress. A red clutch and silver sequin pumps completed this stunning ensemble.

For the Brazilian themed party at the Swarovski Crystallized concept store in NYC, Camila donned the color red again. This color looks absolutely stunning against her skin tone. This time her dress came courtesy of Gomez Garcia, the Brazilian beauty paired her red long sleeved dress with Swarovski jewelry and Jimmy Choo slingback pumps.

For the 2011 Academy Awards ceremony Camila channeled her inner modern princess wearing this structured KaufmanFranco Spring 2012 RTW ball gown. She kept her look simple opting to only wear diamond earrings. This look makes me think of something that Audrey Hepburn would wear in modern times.

After the Awards Camila changed into an extremely sexy black lace Zuhair Murad Spring 2011 Couture gown, which she paired with the same up-do hairstyle and a black Kotur clutch. I absolutely love this look because she is working the dress like it is going to pay for her next car, when it probably costs enough to buy a new car.

Camila again donned Zuhair Murad but from the Fall 2011 RTW collection at the 39th AFI Life Achievement Award Honoring Morgan Freeman. The metallic gold color looks amazing against her caramel Brazilian skin color and her matching gold Jimmy Choo clutch and strappy sandals.

Grammy Award Nominations Concert Wish List

Jennifer Nettles of the country duo Sugarland is set to perform at the Grammy Nominations Concert. As she is just performing I have decided to style a look with items exclusively found at Net-A-Porter.Com. Jennifer is not a girly girl when she performs hence why I have put her in Burberry Britt Waxed Jeans in black, on top I have put a an embellished KaufmanFranco top with a Rick Owens leather jacket. To finish off this stunning ensemble I have chosen a pair of Miu Miu black and pink booties. I would recommend no jewelry with this look and her signature curly hair and she will look amazing during her performance.

 The wonderfully quirky pop sensation Katy Perry is going to be among the performers at the 2011 Grammy Nominations Concert that will air live from Nokia Theater in LA on November 30th, 2011. I am almost certain that Katy will be performing her current single "The One That Got Away" which she performed acoustically wearing a Judy Jetson-esque pink gown at the 2011 American Music Awards. I figure Katy will make the next performance of this song the upbeat radio version that we all have come to know and love. So for this performance I wanted Katy to have a lot of drama but while still being able to move, step in Zuhair Murad Fall 2011 Couture. Zuhair Murad has dress Katy on several occasions such as the 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar Party and (insert other event here). So it is not that big of a stretch wishing that the quirky star wear this gown. To complete this stage style ensemble I would pair the gown with these amazing purple and gold Jimmy Choo Spring 2012 collection sandals. If Katy were to wear a pair of simple pumps then she would not be letting this dress live up to its true potential.

Lady Gaga is also going to take to the stage to perform for the Grammy Nominations Gala. The crazy singer will most likely perform her current single Marry The Night. For this performance I would like for Gaga to don this white embellished mullet dress for the performance. I think that this paired with her crazy hair/makeup/hat statement and then a pair of silver shoes would make this a perfect performance ensemble for the eccentric singer.

 Another celebrity performing at the Grammy Nominations Live Concert is R&B sensation Rihanna. I know that all I have been wishing for RiRi has been Atelier Versace, well that is because I really do believe that she was in mind as most of this collection would look absolutely stunning of the Caribbean beauty from Barbados. If Rihanna is to perform her current hit single "We Found Love" then I believe this "I <3 Versace" pop style cocktail dress would be a great choice in performance wear. The last time a celebrity wore an Atelier Versace dress to perform, (Beyonce at the 2010 Grammy Awards), said celebrity ended up winning best stage costume. Now I will let the cat out of the bag and say that one of Rihanna's performance looks is the winner of that award this year, so far but who knows she may top herself or someone else may top her. Now to style this look completely I have paired it with a pair of blue strappy sandal boots courtesy of Brian Atwood's Spring 2012 collection.

2011 MTV Europe Music Awards Host Selena Gomez

Europe must love Selena Gomez as a host because this is the second European award show this year that Selena is hosting. Well because she is hosting I am sure she will change numerous time through out the night as well as make an appearance on the red carpet. I have compiled a wish list of what I would want her to wear for the night.

For the red carpet I have chosen this fun purple Zuhair Murad mullet dress. If anyone can pull off a mullet dress it is Selena, because she is so young. To finish this look off I would have her hair pulled back, purple clutch and sandals, and a stand out diamond cuff.

The show wishes are set in order of how I would have her wear them on the stage. For most of the night I will say that silver sandals are going to be her best friend. This is good for her when she has to quick change. Well to start the show I would have Selena in this stunningly elegant pink Georges Hobeika Signature Spring 2012 gown paired with the silver sandals and a diamond cuff. Look two is a beaded Jenny Packham Spring 2012 RTW which would be paired with gold sandals and gold drop earrings. The Paule Ka Black Carpet Collection dress would be paired with matching pumps and a stunning diamond necklace, and the final look in this segment is the sequined Emilio Pucci Resort 2012 patterned sequined dress that would be paired with the silver sandals and a solid silver cuff.

 

 The first look in the second segment is a beaded gold Mandalay gown, I have heard that Mandalay has sent options to Selena so who knows this might happen. I would pair this dress with the previously mentioned gold sandals and a diamond tennis bracelet. I would follow that gown up with a cute D&G Spring 2012 dress, I love this dress for so many reasons but it is just so colorful and fun that I just would DIE to see Selena in it. I would finish this look up with a pair of red satin pumps. The second to last look, which is Giambattista Valli Spring 2012 RTW could be a red carpet look but I want to see Selena in it and this would be paired with those now famous silver sandals. To close the show Selena would keep her silver sandals but this time pair them with this gunmetal grey KaufmanFranco Spring 2012 RTW gown to close the show elegantly.
