2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards: Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a TV Movie or Miniseries Nominee Wish List

I am super excited that Christina Ricci is nominated for Screen Actors Guild Award on Sunday as she is one lady that I love to see on the red carpet and I can't wait to see what she is going to wear. Nominated for Outstanding Performance by and Actress in a TV Movie or Miniseries for playing famed murderess Lizzy Borden in the Lifetime miniseries The Lizzy Borden Chronicles. I would love to see Christina wearing this red and navy Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2016 gown rendered in novelty jacquard and features a sheath silhouette with contoured piping details and metallic accents. I think that this chic dark look evokes the dark within her character and is something that Christina would look absolutely chic wearing on the red carpet. Finished with a red Rauwolf 'Brutalist' clutch, a pair of navy satin sandals, classic old Hollywood beauty, and a pair of diamond drop earrings and I would be ensured that Christina would make this a memorable red carpet moment.

Kristen Wiig is nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a TV Movie or Miniseries thanks to her performance in the Miniseries The Spoils Before Dying. I have never been a huge fan of Kristen on the red carpet. I find her style boring or too twee and I am hoping for something a little different from her on Sunday. I think that Kirsten would gravitate towards this nior J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2016 gown rendered in silk and features a sheath silhouette with a jewel neckline, beaded embroidery throughout the bodice and pleated detailing and I believe that it would be a good red carpet moment for her. The dress is chic and grown-up and despite being completely covered I still think that this gown would be incredibly sexy on Kristen. The embellishments on the neck, shoulder, waist, bodice, and wrists keep this look from being bland and boring. I always advocate that if you are going to wear all black at least have some sort of visual interest and this gown has it. A black clutch, a pair of black sandals, a red lip, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings will ensure that this is a beautiful red carpet moment on Kristen at the SAG Awards. 

How Nicole Kidman received a nomination for the Big Screen flop to Lifetime film Grace of Monaco over some of the other performances this year is beyond my mind. While I am excited to see what Nicole is going to wear on the red carpet I am disappointed that someone like Lady Gaga for American Horror Story: Hotel is not nominated in her place. Recently it has been either love or loathe with Nicole's choices for the red carpet and I am hoping that Sunday she gives me something that I can firmly put in the love category. I picked this navy blue Alexis Mabille Pre-Fall 2016 long sleeved gown which features a beautiful long flowing train and an open lace covered back for Nicole to wear on the SAG Awards red carpet because it is chic and simple and I think that is what Nicole is in need of to get back in my good graces. A vintage inspired faux bob, a pair of matching peep toe pumps, a matching clutch, a red lip, and a pair of dazzling diamond drop earrings would round out the perfect styling to ensure that Nicole is in perfect form on the red carpet.

My last wish for today is for the nominated star of the HBO movie Bessie, Queen Latifah. I am hoping that Queen Latifah returns to her beautiful edgy glam looks on the Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet on Sunday night. I picked this white one sleeved Christian Siriano Pre-Fall 2016 high neck fitted gown for her to wear because I think that this is the edgy glam look that I have been waiting to see Queen Latifah do on the red carpet. I think that with such a chic blank canvas that a statement clutch is needed I think a colorful blue Edie Parker 'Fiona' faceted tie-dye acrylic clutch added with a pair of silver sandals and a pair of diamond cluster earrings will ensure that Queen Latifah has an absolutely amazing moment on the SAG Awards red carpet.

2015 Gotham Independent Film Awards Red Carpet Wish List

Brie Larson is most likely going to be working the red carpets from the Gotham Independent Film Awards tomorrow night all the way to the Oscars at the end of February thanks to her performance in the film Room. I have slowly been getting into Brie's style as she has been trying to find her style over the past year and she has been killing the red carpets lately. For tomorrow nights Gotham Independent Film Awards, where Brie is nominated for Best Actress, I would love to see her wearing this black leather Alexander McQueen Resort 2016 floral embroidered sleeveless a-line dress. Gotham is usually a more laid back awards show, so no big gowns needed. This is a pretty dress and I think quite event appropriate. I would style this look with a pair of red pumps to just take this look to another level and ensure that Brie keeps going things great on her Oscar campaign.

Queen Cate seems to have lost her crown recently as she has not been giving me WOW moment after WOW moment and I am hoping that as she kicks off awards season that she will be back on point. Tomorrow night's Gotham Independent Film Awards, where Cate is nominated for Best Actress thanks to her performance in Carol, that she makes a major impact. Cate has been experimenting with different types of looks and I really want her to just go back to the old Hollywood glamour with a twist that made me fall in love with her. I picked this Marc Jacobs Spring 2016 RTW ensemble which consists of a three quarter length sleeve embroidered jacket paired with silk pants. This is a different look for Cate but still along that classic style that she would go for. I am hoping that she really gives me something that I can say WOW to tomorrow. Finish the look with a red lip, black Louboutin pumps, wavy faux bob, and diamond cluster earrings to ensure that this look is styled to perfection.

Helen Mirren is being honored tomorrow night with a Tribute Award at the Gotham Independent Film Awards. Helen will either wear Dolce & Gabbana or Badgley Mischka and I am guessing it is going to be the former, I am just hoping that it isn't another lace or floral dress as I am really getting tired of seeing Helen in those Dolce looks. I picked this Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2016 RTW dress which features a full skirted 50's silhouette and a mikado brushstroke print. This is a look that Helen has done before but with a new print which would make it less deja vu than any other look that she could pull from this collection. Finishing the look with a pair of gold pumps and a red lip will keep that pretty 50's vibe that this dress commands.

Kristen Wiig is also nominated for Best Actress tomorrow at the Gotham Independent Film Awards and I am intrigued to see what she is going to wear. Kirsten is one that I can never really predict what she is going to show up in. At the gala premiere of The Martian at the New York Film Festival Kristen shocked me wearing an Oscar de la Renta Spring 2016 RTW strapless cocktail dress with a plunging neckline that I never would have even predicted that she would wear and rocked it. I am hoping that tomorrow she keeps up her good work on the red carpet. I picked this black Michael Kors Spring 2016 RTW metal grommet embellished cocktail dress. Some might think that this look is too casual for an awards show but I think that this is something that Kirsten would make look more formal than it actually is. A lot of the classing up would come through the styling. I would add a pair of black Saint Laurent sandals, a black and silver Edie Parker confetti clutch, sleek hair, and a red lip will ensure that Kristen actually gives me a beautiful look on the red carpet.

Rachel McAdams might not be nominated tomorrow at the Gotham Independent Film Awards but since her film Spotlight is nominated for Best Picture she might show up. Rachel has been having a pretty good year this year on the red carpet after letting me fall out of love with her red carpet decisions. I think I would literally die if Rachel showed up tomorrow night in this Oscar de la Renta Spring 2015 RTW sheath silhouette dress with an allover floral print, a defined contrasting waist, and a pencil skirt. I love the vintage and Spanish inspired elements of this dress and just how ladylike it would actually make this a major moment on the red carpet. I would finish this look off with a black box clutch, a pair of yellow pumps, and pink lip to just punch the look up just that much more. 

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.

"Masterminds" NYC Premiere Wish List

Kristen Wiig was not on top form, though she has never really blown me away, at the 2015 Met Ball in a canary yellow Prabal Gurung sack dress. I am hoping that at the "Masterminds" premiere in NYC that Kirsten gives me an awesome red carpet moment. I picked this ice blue Balenciaga Resort 2016 silk draped cocktail dress with draped ab cut outs for Kristen because it is classic but sexy and modern all at the same time. Finish the look with a pair of prismatic silver pumps and a mirrored clutch and this look is red carpet ready.

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.

2014 Cannes Film Festival: 'How to Train Your Dragon 2' Premiere Wish List

The Cannes Film Festival officially kicks off next Wednesday, and I am so excited! Next Friday is seeming like it is going to be quite the evening on the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals. Two major films will be screened. First is the out of competition gala premiere of 'How to Train Your Dragon 2' and the other is the in competition premiere of 'Captives' staring Rosario Dawson and Mireille Enos (that wish list will go live on this site next Tuesday.) What excites me most about this day is the fact that Cate Blanchett will give a me what I am sure will be my best dressed look at the festival. Being a Cannes Film Festival veteran I am excited to see what the actress will bring to the red carpet. This amazing Zac Posen Fall 2014 RTW navy blue body hugging gown accentuated with a dramatic cape. This gown combines my love of Cate and my love of Capes. I am super shocked that no one picked this gown up to wear for the 2014 'Charles James: Beyond Fashion' Met Ball earlier this week. I would just add a pair of navy satin pumps and some stunning Chopard diamonds to complete this amazing red carpet ensemble.

Earlier this week I fell in love with what Kirsten Wiig wore on the red carpet at the 2014 Met Ball. It was this amazing custom back Balenciaga ensemble that paired a structured ball skirt over tailored pants. While that was a perfect Met look I am hoping that Kristen turns up the glam for the 2014 Cannes Film Festival premiere of her film 'How to Train Your Dragon 2.' This champagne colored Marchesa Pre-Fall 2014 embroidered bodice and layered tulle mermaid gown would look stunning on Kristen to give her the perfect look for the light style that would be perfect for the French Riviera. Her long bob should be slicked into a sleek do, a pair of gold sandals, and a gold clutch win neutral makeup and simple jewels will make this look even more perfect.

I am hoping that for the Gala premieres that Sofia Coppola will opt out of her favored short ensembles and rock some couture gowns. Having attended a few Chanel Couture fashion shows in the past I think that picking this silver Chanel Fall 2013 Couture ankle length gown would be a perfect choice for Sofia to make for this red carpet. Of everyone that has been announced to attend the festival Sofia is one of the ones I worry will bring the glamour of the red carpet down. A silver Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver sandals, a simple updo, and very simple jewels will give Sofia a stunning red carpet look, again outside of her all black comfort zone.

Elie Saab usually embraces women that are relatively unknown on the red carpet in Cannes, dressing them in his stunning couture designs. While jury member Jeon Do-Yeon isn't a Cannes newbie by any means, she has won the Best Actress Award at the 2007 festival, she is relatively unknown in the fashion world. I am hoping that since she is on the jury that designers will throw gowns at her. I am hoping that Jeon is able to get her hands on this ethereal Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture white gown. This gown is elegant and does white without feeling bridal to me. A matching white Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver sandals, a diamond necklace, a glamorous updo, and a red lip will ensure that Jeon looks every bit the part of the Festival Jury Member that she is.

2013 AFI Fest 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' Gala Premiere Wish List

After a to-young-for-her Marchesa disaster at her New York Film Festival gala premiere of 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' I would love to see Kristen Wiig redeem herself. I think that this gold Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2014 RTW cocktail dress with bell shaped sleeves and skirt. I think that this could come off as to young but styled the right way this look would be perfect for the AFI Fest Centerpiece Gala Premiere and redeem herself from this look. Finish the look with a pair of gold sandals and a gold clutch and Kristen will have a perfect look for this premeire

2012 Toronto Film Festival: Premiere Wish List Part 3

Today we start our wish list for the Toronto Film Festival with the star of 'Hyde Park on Hudson' Laura Linney. We don't see much of Laura on the red carpet and I will say it is on very rare occasion that there is something that I fall in love with, in fact don't think I've loved a look was when she donned a canary yellow Elie Saab Spring 2008 Couture gown (my favorite Elie Saab collection EVER) for the 2009 Golden Globe Awards when she won for her role in her TV shoe 'The Big C.' I think that wearing this Valentino Resort 2013 burnt orange minimalist silk peasant dress would be a great option for Laura especially with her skin tone and hair color. The dress shows off her shape and looks sophisticated and age appropriate. Add a gold metallic leather clutch and some gold strappy sandals to complete the look.

'Imogene' is the second film that Annette Bening will be premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival. I think that this strong rose embellished shoulder white Marchesa sheath dress with a 1/2 length sleeve is another elegant option for the 54 year old actress. I would replace the white belt for one that is gold, add a gold Marchesa crystal embellished clutch, and a pair of gold Jimmy Choo kitten heel sandals will keep this look absolutely stunning and red carpet ready.

Also staring in 'Imogene' is former 'SNL' funny lady Kristen Wiig. Kristen has a great relationship with designer J. Mendel wearing his designs many times most notably for the 2012 Academy Awards. So for this years Toronto Film Festival I would like to see Kristen wear this blue grey leather J. Mendel Resort 2013 dress. I think that Kristen would look absolutely amazing wearing this dress even if I am not the biggest fan of leather dresses on the red carpet this seems like one of the few good ones. Add a gunmetal grey clutch and strappy sandals to complete the premiere worth ensemble for Kristen.

Kristin Scott Thomas has such an elegant red carpet style and I am really looking forward to the French actress looking stunning on the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of her new flick, 'In The House.' I think that this dove grey long sleeved Elie Saab Fall 2012 RTW gown with a knotted draped detail would be perfect for the star. I think that just adding a silver Edie Parker confetti clutch, silver peep toe pumps, and some amazing drop Van Cleef & Arpels earrings would complete this elegant ensemble.

Someone else that I would also love to see wear Elie Saab at the Toronto International Film Festival is Diane Kruger. Whilst Diane is not actually premiering a film at the festival her hunky beau Joshua Jackson is and as he is always at her side on the red carpet she is usually at his so here is what I want her to wear. As it is not Diane's night I would like for her to to subtle elegance wearing this black chiffon gown with a sheer beaded lace pattern yoke on the neck. I think that even if Diane tried to fade into the background she would still shine in this gown. Pair it will a gold clutch, black strappy sandals, and a pretty gold diamond bracelet and she is ready to stand next to her man and look absolutely stunning whilst doing so.

Marisa Tomei will have to work really hard to out shine Diane Kruger at the 'Inescapable' premiere where she will be promoting the film with co-star Joshua Jackson. I think that the star who tends to favor more avant garde looks would look amazing in this Alexander McQueen Resort 2013 ensemble. I think that this look which consists of a white organza to with ruffled cap sleeves and gold embroidery paired with some high waisted black tuxedo pants and a wide belt at the natural waist line. I think that this looks is just dramatic enough to outshine Diane which is not an easy task to endure. But to really do so the styling would have to be spot on. A gold and black Alexander McQueen box clutch and some amazing black and gold pumps or strappy sandals are what is needed to complete this sexy but different ensemble.

2012 Emmy Awards: Comedy Actress Nominees

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy nominee Amy Poehler who stars in the hit comedy show Parks and Recreation does not tend to hit the red carpet high notes. Well here at If I Was A Stylist I would like to change that and I would do so by handing her this amazing orange Georges Hobeika Fall 2012 RTW gown. I think that this gown with a sequined top and chiffon skirt would make the actress look elegant as long as she has the right size top because her gowns tend to be to tight on the top. Add a gold clutch and some gold pumps and this look will be make perfect for the red carpet.

Edie Falco is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy for her work as the title character in Nurse Jackie. Depending on her red carpet outing Edie either is best dressed or worst dressed there is no in between. I think that this red Romona Kevesa Fall 2012 RTW long sleeved asymmetrical gown would look amazing on the star. I think that the gown is out of Edie's comfort zone of grey and black but would be a great choice. A pair of silver strappy sandals, a black clutch, and some amazing jewels this look is now red carpet ready.

HBO's new hit show 'VEEP' about a fictional female Vice President of the United States is where Julia Louise-Dreyfus gets her nomination from. This amazing grape colored Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2012 RTW draped halter neck gown. Julia usually only wears Narciso Rodriguez gowns on the red carpet should open her horizons to other gowns because if this nomination means anything to next years awards season I do not want to keep seeing these Narciso gowns on her on the carpet. I think that this color would look amazing on Julia. Add a gold bejeweled clutch and some gold pumps will make this look simple and chic.

 I think that Kristen Wiig will win the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy for all of her ensemble work on the classic sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live because the star just announced her retirement from the show. I think that this black Bibhu Mohapatra Resort 2013 gown with lace inserts would just hug Kristen's body. We have really seen Kristen evolve on the red carpet this year. Starting with a really bad Bill Blass nude gown at the Golden Globe awards to her stunning orange lace Stella McCartney full skirted 50's inspired cocktail dress at the Met Ball. I think that even though this is a black look that it has the potential to be Kristen's best look of the year. Add an emerald clutch, black pumps, and some amazing emerald and diamond earrings and this look would have a huge impact on the red carpet for just another black gown.

I have no real idea of who Lena Dunham is but I know she is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy thanks to her HBO show 'Girls'. At the Met Ball Lena wore an emerald green 60's inspired Stella McCartney gown that she brilliantly accessorized with bubblegum pink pumps and a black clutch. Well I would like to see Lena wear this amazing toffee/taupe Carmen Marc Valvo Fall 2012 RTW gown which instead of making her look short and dumpy like her McCartney gown, I believe would elongate her frame. I would add a Donna Karan Spring 2012 wood grain clutch and a pair of gold heel nude Lanvin Spring 2012 heels.

Tina Fey is ALWAYS nominated for an award for her role of Liz Lemon on the NBC comedy '30 Rock.' I am not sure why as I personally feel that there are far better and funnier actresses on the big screen. Well regardless of my feelings I think that Tina should once again find friends with Oscar de la Renta and wear this stunning red asymmetrical gown with a silver waist band for this years awards. I think that this gown would elongate Tina's short stature whilst giving the fashion world something to actually be interested in. A silver sandal and a silver clutch will leave fashionista's everywhere with their jaws dropped.

And last but certainly not least we have Zooey Deschanel who over the past year has really started to capture my attention with some amazing looks. Zooey is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy for her character Jess on the hit show, 'New Girl.' I think for this years awards I would love to see Zooey wear this silver jacquard Andrew Gn Resort 2013 ball gown because it really is a Zooey type of gown. Add a silver clutch and some silver pumps to complete the ensemble.

2012 Oscar Presenter Wish List: Angie, Cameron, Halle, Jenny, Kristen, and Rose

 And the ball starts rolling today. The biggest night in fashion the 2012 Academy Awards is set to take place in just two short weeks, and the Academy has been busy releasing the names of celebrities set to present at this years ceremony. Angelina Jolie was no doubt going to attend as her long time boyfriend Brad Pitt is nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role. The stunning starlet who tends to favor black should turn to the Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture runway for her gown for this years awards ceremony. Ever since I saw this nude embellished gown with a neck scarf and a thigh high split I have been waiting with bated breath for the stunning Mrs Jolie to don it for an event, and what platform would be better than the red carpet at the Oscars. I love when Elie dresses an Academy Awards attendee as I am always left speechless and with another Best Dressed nominee. I would pair this dress with a metallic gold Jimmy Choo tube clutch and some strappy Jimmy Choo gold metallic sandals.

 Now I will say I was hoping that Cameron Diaz was not going to be one of the presenters at this years Oscars ceremony just because I know that she wants to wear this dress because when she was front row at the Armani Spring 2012 Couture presentation in Paris just last month it has been noted that she turned to Giorgio Armani's niece and brand ambassador and said 'That is absolutely stunning' so I guess there is almost no doubts in my mind that she will wear this even though I would love for Best Actress in a Supporting Role nominee Jessica Chastain to wear this instead. Anyway, Cameron should pair this also with a metallic gold clutch and some gold strappy sandals.

 Next we have Halle Berry who also presented last year at the Academy Awards. I am keeping the same strapless mermaid silhouette but changing the rest by giving her this stunning black and silver abstract print Lela Rose Fall 2012 RTW gown that just walked the runway in New York City just a few days ago. The designer has never had an Oscars red carpet moment and I think that Halle is just the right woman to bring that moment to us as she would look absolutely stunning in this design. Just a pair of black peep toe pumps and them some seriously stunning diamond creations would be perfect for this look.

 Jennifer Lopez is also set to present at the Oscars this year. The last time she did she had an amazing promotional tour resulting in a space on my best dressed list for that year. I would love for her to do that again and I would say if she wore this ice blue Zuhair Murad Spring 2012 Couture mermaid gown then she would look absolutely stunning and full of diva-tude. A crystal encrusted Judith Leiber clutch and some crystal encrusted sandals would make this look sizzle and then some amazing diamond earrings and a statement diamond cuff would finish off this look with a diva song.

 Kristen Wiig has had a horrible run this awards season on the red carpet. I believe that after last years Emmy Awards where the stunning comedienne stepped out in a chocolate brown and caramel ombre Zac Posen gown and has not been able to live up to that moment since. I would like her to try for elegance again by wearing this Z Spoke by Zac Posen Fall 2012 RTW gown. I think that it is within the simplicity that is needed for her to look stunning and I wouldn't complicate it with accessories either just a pair of gold diamond encrusted earrings, gold clutch, and gold peep toe pumps, are what is needed to make this look elegant and keep her off the worst dressed lists.

And last but not least we have Kristen Wiig's 'Bridesmaids' co-star, Rose Byrne, who is going to be alongside her as they present at this years ceremony. Rose has become quite the fashionista and made a huge splash. I would love for her to step out wearing this stunning embellished lace petal Valentino Spring 2011 Couture peach colored gown with off the shoulder sleeves. I think that Rose would look absolutely stunning in this gown and I hope that she wears it as I would really love to see this grace a red carpet at some point and what point better than the Oscars. I think a pair of champagne pink colored peep toe pumps and some great diamond jewelry would just take this look to the next level.

2012 AFI Awards Honorees Wish List

Emma Stone is one of my favorite stars on the red carpet because she is always bringing something different to the red carpet each time she steps out. The young star may not have ever worn Balmain before, but someone who can get Chanel Couture and Balenciaga should have no trouble convincing Balmain to lend her a dress. This Balmain Spring 2012 RTW dress would look amazing on the red headed actress with its pink, blue, and gold accents on the white backdrop. I think that a pair of gold strappy sandals and a gold clutch with her hair worn up would just put the perfect finishing touches on this look

Emma Watson is part of the cast of "Harry Potter", which is being honored as an AFI Special Award Recipient for the entire series, which makes me believe that Emma may just attend. If she does, I would like her to wear this Chanel Pre-Fall 2012 dress with a black crystal embellished top and draped purple skirt. I think that Emma would look stunning in this creation. A pair of gunmetal strappy sandals and a matching clutch would be the perfect topping to this ensemble.

Jessica Chastain has had a horrible run on the red carpet lately and I would love to help her turn that around at the 2012 AFI Awards Luncheon by telling her to wear this black and white Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012 RTW dress. I think that this is just such a classic dress that there is no way that Jessica could go wrong. A yellow clutch and black strappy sandals (though I know she will pair it with either black or nude pumps) and her hair worn up would make this ensemble look elegant and sophisticated, which is exactly what she needs to bring her back on track.

Kristen Wiig is the star of the 2011 hit comedy 'Bridesmaids', which is being honored by the AFI this year. I would like for Kristen to don this black Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2012 dress with a sheer embellished embroidered dress. Kristen tends to favor more demure sophisticated styles, so I think that this dress would be perfect for her. A pair of black Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps (with the red soles) and a red clutch with her hair worn down would make this look and send her to best dressed lists.

Naomi Watts may attend the 2011 AFI Awards Luncheon because her film 'J. Edgar' is being honored. If she does attend I would like to see her wear this black Julien Macdonald Spring 2012 RTW flapper-esque dress. I think that Naomi has the red carpet personality for this dress. As it is a luncheon, I would pair this with a cute black cropped blazer. Silver strappy sandals and a black clutch would look amazing with this dress, especially if Naomi were to wear her hair pulled back with a few pieces to frame her face.

I want, no wait I need, Rachel McAdams to wear this Andrew Gn Spring 2012 RTW hot pink dress with a green crystal encrusted waist band. I think that the color combination would look stunning on the actress, who tends to favor soft colors. A pair of green peep toe pumps and no clutch, with her hair worn down, would make this a best dressed list worthy look

Best Dressed at the 2011 Primetime Emmy Awards

Just as a heads up this list (except for the first picture) is in no particular order of how I liked the look of that celebrity and this is only the best dressed, I am not posting because I have an idea to use the worst dressed looks later on.

 

 This is PERFECTION. Here is The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev wearing a red Donna Karan Resort 2012 mermaid gown. She looked absolutely stunning and 100% drop dead diva gorgeous. Nina has not always been someone that I look forward to seeing on the red carpet because she usually looks extremely tacky, so when I saw this my jaw dropped. This is my best dressed of the night.

Shall we go into the runners up (in no particular order)?:

 Sofia Vergara looked absolutely stunning in her Vera Wang gown. The gown is in Sofia's favorite mermaid silhouette and she is totally working her sex symbol status. She paired her look with some statement jewelry featuring Colombian emerald from her native country, Colombia.

 Sarah Hyland is wearing the youthful version of her Modern Family co-stars (Sofia Vergara) gown, but hers is designed by Project Runway alum Christian Siriano. The color is amazing on Sarah and she looks sophisticated and elegant whilst still looking youthful.

 Olivia Munn becomes the first celebrity to wear a look from the Carolina Herrera Spring 2012 RTW collection. This does not come as much of a surprise as Olivia has been wearing a lot of Carolina's designs lately and was sitting front row at the designers runway show where this gown was presented last week. The color looks amazing on her and her hair is not horrible like it usually is. I am also glad that she kept her accessories simple.

 Kerry Washington brought the va-va-va-voom to the 2011 Primetime Emmy Awards last night, wearing a red (the color of the night) strapless gown from the Zuhair Murad Fall 2011 Couture collection. This gown is sexy and bodacious yet still classy. I wondered who was going to be brave enough to wear this, and the even better question would she look like a whore? Well the answer to the brave is obviously Kerry and to the does she look like a whore question? No she does not look like a whore but confident and sexy.

 Kristen Wiig looked absolutely fantastic in this ombre brown Zac Posen gown that was custom designed for her. Again this is a great color on her and I also that her for picking extremely complimentary accessories. 

 Lea Michele looked absolutely fantastic in this custom Marchesa gown. Now with that said I have to throw a flag for foul play on Marchesa. Why? Because this gown is a mix of Pippa Middleton's Alexander McQueen bridesmaid dress and a Valentino Pre-Fall 2011 cocktail dress the Hailee Steinfeld wore earlier this year. Now with that said Lea still rocked it as she would have in anything and no animosity is felt for her not wearing my wish for her.

 Kelly Osbourne looked amazing in her custom J. Mendel gown. Kelly whist watching the E! Live From The Red Carpet said that Marchesa would not send her any options because they were only dressing one celebrity last night (well that was found out to be not true as you will see below). Well honey all you should have to say to them is, Marchesa who? Because you look absolutely stunning wearing this gown. The color totally 100% looks great on you and your accessories are amazing.

 Kate Winslet won Best Actress in a TV Movie or Mini-Series for her role in Mildred Peirce, and she looked amazing wearing the color of the night (red) her gown was designed by Elie Saab for his first ever Resort 2012 collection. The silhouette looked amazing on her and I am glad she did not opt for the runway belt. A gold clutch and simple diamonds completed her winning look.

 Julie Bowen was also a winner last night and looked amazing in her Oscar de la Renta gown. This is the first time the actress has worn an A-list designer and she looked radiant and had an air of confidence that she knew how good she looked. Congrats to her for knocking it out of the ballpark last night.

 Now this deserves the most improved award because this is the FIRST time EVER that Jenna Ushkowitz has ever made it on to one of my best dressed lists. Now this gown could have gone VERY wrong making it look like she has box figure but Jenna worked this gown to death which is a good thing. She pulled her hair back into a slick pony tail and amazing makeup completed her look with a clutch and simple drop earrings.

 Gwyneth Paltrow looked amazing wearing an extremely daring midriff baring Emilio Pucci gown. Gwyneth who won an Emmy for her guest appearances on the hit FOX show Glee and was a presenter last night looked the point of Hollywood starlet and I find no faults in her look.

 Evan Rachel Wood resorted to her go to color roots for this Emmy gown. It is from the Elie Saab Fall 2011 RTW collection and she looked the best she has in a while. I love the gown, hair, and makeup and it looked freaking fantastic.

 Emily Blunt who attended the awards ceremony to support her husband The Office star John Karasinksi. Usually when she is at an event supporting John she dresses simply, not last night she went for a show stopping Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture gown and I am so glad that she did and I love it.

 Here was the second Marchesa gown of the night, now I am posting this because she looks amazing even though she is wearing her go to nude color that she favors all to often but she still looks elegant.

 I had no idea who Cobie Smulders was before I saw her in this aqua blue Alberta Ferretti gown on the red carpet. I am in love with this whole look as she looks so ethereal and luminous. This proves that when you pair the right person with the right gown, that fashion magic can be made.

 I love this look again because it is ethereal but she took the look down a few notched with the vamp makeup. On any hand Aubrey Plaza looked fantastic in her white Juan Carlos Obando Fall 2011 RTW gown last night. I have no idea who she is, but I hope to see more from her in the future.

 Now this is a stunning gown is stunning and looks AMAZING on Claire Danes. The Oscar de la Renta Resort 2012 gown is amazing with a blue sequined geometric pattern. Claire just made this look effortless as she seems to do with anything that she puts on and I am so excited by this look and she really challenged Nina for the best dressed spot so she is best dressed first runner up, if for whatever reason Nina Dobrev can not fulfill her duties Claire will take the responsibilities over.

Now I want to hear from you:
