When Bad Dresses Happen To Good People: Gwendoline Christie in Lanvin at the SAG Awards

 I feel like I am almost always ragging on Gwendoline Christie when she steps onto a red carpet. I think that she has a hard time trying to find the right looks for her based on just how tall she is to start (she is 6'3" after all) but this Lanvin gown, which was presented as a cocktail dress in the Spring 2016 RTW collection, was just awful. On the runway I liked the short bubble hem and I think that the likes of Kate Bosworth, Lupita Nyong'o, or Emma Stone could have sold the cocktail version to me but this gown just looked unfinished. For something custom made for Gwendoline I am very disappointed. The gown does her no favors, that's it. Plain and simple.
The look was further brought down by the angular slicked back bob that she has going on. With this type of gown I would have preferred to see Gwendoline wear her hair in soft vintage inspired curls. The fir of this gown was also terribly off it looked like it was just thrown together. All in all this was not something that should ever have seen the light of day. Gwendoline my personal opinion is stick to simpler styles as they are usually when I love your red carpet outings.

2016 National Board of Review Awards Gala Red Carpet Wish List

Brie Larson might end up being the celebrated underdog this season on the red carpets. When I looked back at Brie's red carpet looks over 2015 they were very underwhelming or total hot messes to me, up until the end. I am hoping that Brie is able to really bring it during awards season so that she can show that she can hang with the other women with whom she is nominated. On the eve of the People's Choice Awards in New York City Brie will take to the red carpet at the National Board of Review Awards Gala where she is going to be honored with the Best Actress award for her work in Room. Having worn Rodarte twice while promoting the film it would surprise me if Brie doesn't wear the brand at least once while making the Awards Season rounds. I picked this black, white, and orange floral hand beaded lace flutter sleeve dress from the Rodarte Spring 2016 RTW collection for Brie to wear on this red carpet. I love the shape and all of the hand beaded floral details and I think that Brie would look phenomenal wearing this creation. With such a statement dress all that would be needed to finish this look off would be a pair of simple black sandals, hair worn up so it wont compete with the dress, and a fresh face of makeup.
I decided to include Charlize Theron on this list because she is the lead in the National Board of Review's best film award winner Mad Max: Fury Road. I am uber excited to see what Charlize is going to bring to the table over the course of awards season as she, and Mad Max, have been garnering a lot of awards buzz. For this red carpet since it really isn't her night I picked this black Lanvin Spring 2016 RTW gown with a nude satin corseted body suit. I might get a little slack for picking this since Cate Blanchett has already worn a shorter green version on a red carpet, but I think that since the draping and color and length are all different why not. I think that Charlize would take this look and breath a sense of effortless glamour to the red carpet at the National Board of Review awards gala red carpet. A pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps, slicked back hair, a red lip, and a black Edie Parker clutch would finish this look off in spectacular fashion.
Emily Blunt stared in one of the National Board of Review's top films of the year Sicario, which is also being honored with the Spotlight Award for outstanding creative vision. If Emily jets to NYC to attend this event I would love to see her doing so in subtly elegant style wearing this Oscar de la Renta Spring 2016 RTW black cocktail dress which features a sheath silhouette with a defined sweetheart neckline, a cutout at the bodice, and a beaded embroidered skirt. Emily is always a delight to see on the red carpet and this sweet sensual ensemble would be no exception. I would add a pair of pink pumps to add to the romanticism of this look; hair worn up, a pink lip, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings would just finish this look off perfectly.
Its National Board of Review top film The Martian that I am hoping will mean a turn out from Jessica Chastain at the awards gala next Tuesday. I don't know why but when I picked the looks for this post I was feeling everyone in black, which is unusual because I love it when stars step out of the LBD. I guess it is because these women know how to make a little black dress anything but basic. I would love to see Jessica wear this Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2016 RTW pencil dress with its embroidered netting on the shoulders and at the top of the bodice. This is a very standard Dolce dress but I think that with Jessica's movie star presence a pair of killer black crystal embellished Christian Louboutin 'Top Vague' pointed toe pumps, a pair of diamond and sapphire drop earrings, old Hollywood waves, a diamond cocktail ring, and a red lip that this would be one for her record books.
Many will be surprised that I am featuring a little menswear in this post, but some of the leading men in Hollywood are starting to get their sartorial style noticed. Michael B. Jordan has been one of the men that has given my 4 time Best Dressed Man of the Year Eddie Redmayne a run for his money, will this year be the year that Eddie falls? It will remain to be seen. I am hoping that Michael will be at the National Board of Review Awards Gala because his Rocky spin off Creed is one of the top films of the year and his co-star Sylvester Stallone is being honored with the Best Supporting Actor award. I would love to see Michael wearing this bold red Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2016 Menswear suit, which was paired with a black button down for the presentation and I would keep for this red carpet. I would just add a black and white micro polka dotted skinny tie, and a pair of black patent leather Christian Louboutin lace up oxfords to finish this look off perfectly for this red carpet.

"10,000 Saints" NYC Premiere Wish List

The "10,000 Saints" premiere in NYC popped up on my radar recently and I have actually never heard of this film. I had to do an IMDB search to see what the film is about. I didn't learn much besides the movie is set in 1980's NYC and it stars Hailee Steinfeld and Ethan Hawke. I gotta say that the attachment of Hailee Steinfeld to the project made the movie that much more desirable to me to post about. I love seeing what Hailee wears on the red carpet and this premiere will be no different. I would love to see Hailee wear this pink, black, and white Lanvin Resort 2016 shift dress. This dress is chic but still age appropriate for the 18 year old actress. Finished with a pink clutch, black sandals and some chic hair and makeup and Hailee will have a perfect premiere look.

#Cannes2015: "Youth" Premiere Wish List

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

#Cannes2015: "La Tête Haute" Premiere & Opening Ceremony Wish List

After the star studded "Grace of Monaco," which opened the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, went from Cannes to Lifetime, it seems as if festival director Thierry Frémaux decided to go in a much safer direction for this years opening ceremony by choosing "La Tête Haute" staring Catherine Deneuve and Sara Forestier. Catherine Deneuve is an acclaimed actress but she is far from a fashion plate and I am only moderately interested in what the 71 year old French actress will wear for the festival. For the photocall earlier in the day I would love to see Catherine turn to her friend Karl Largerfeld to wear this beige Chanel Fall 2015 RTW suede shirt dress. This is a perfect Cannes appropriate look, which despite its material and Fall label still comes off as light and breezy. A pair of nude Chanel pumps would finish this look off perfectly for a daytime photocall. For the films premiere and the Opening Ceremony I would love to see the legend wear this simplistic Lanvin Pre-Fall 2015 purple long sleeves silk draped gown, modified to have a little more of a train. I think that Catherine would look elegant, event and age appropriate wearing this stunning creation for the red carpet. A black Chanel clutch, a pair of black peep toe pumps, and some stunning Chopard jewelry would finish this look off perfectly for a Cannes film premiere.
Since I have little expectations from Catherine Deneuve to make my heart stop that responsibility will have to lie upon Sara Forestier. Every time that I have seen the 28 year old actress step out on a red carpet she has worn couture, and hey I ain't complaining. I would love to see Sara wear this purple Giambattista Valli Spring 2015 Couture floral trapeze tea length dress with cap sleeves for the "La Tête Haute" photocall. Only in Cannes could one get away with wearing a couture creation for a daytime photocall.  Hair swept up and a pair of simple strappy black sandals would ensure that this is a perfect photocall ensemble. For the big premiere and opening ceremony I would love to see Sara go for something very modern princess with this peach colored Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture embellished embroidered gown. I have been dying to see this gown on the red carpet and I think that Sara would be the perfect person to give this gown its red carpet moment and the occasion is more than worthy of this gown. A pair of gold sandals, a simple gold clutch, and simple earring would ensure that the dress does all of the talking.

The Opening Ceremony is exactly two weeks from today and I am ablaze with Cannes fever. Many Best Dressed of the Year contenders come from this festival and I am sure that this year is not going to be any different.

Best Dressed at the 2015 BAFTA Awards

Yesterday was a MAJOR day on the red carpets. It started in London with the BAFTA Awards. I was disappointed that Emma Stone didn't attend but I have to say that there was an amazing red carpet none the less, but there were only four real stand out looks for me. When Lea Seydoux stepped out on the red carpet in her custom saffron yellow Prada chiffon gown, I was taken aback. Lea was my Best Brand Ambassador for Prada last year and this gown just shows why. Lea is the only woman who has a 100% success rate with Prada looks on the red carpet and this look gave me a stunning red carpet summery look in the dead of the British winter. 
Julianne Moore broke her red carpet run of wearing Givenchy Couture for major red carpets by wearing a custom Tom Ford red gown with a velvet top and a silk skirt. I totally called this as Julianne and Tom attended pre-BAFTA parties the night before. This is how a 54 year brings the sexy to the red carpet. A redhead in red is a winning combination. Julianne has been picking the winning colors for the red carpets so I am excited to see her wear even more bold colors on the red carpets still to come this awards season. Gugu Mbatha-Raw is still becoming one of my favorites on the red carpet. I loved her soft lavender custom Prada gown (yesterday was a real winning day for Prada on the red carpet). I don't see any other woman making this gown look as beautiful as Gugu does. There was some debate about who Amy Adams wore to the BAFTAs yesterday. I have to say that this amazing custom Lanvin white gown with an embellished waist and tassel belt. This was chic yet impactful. I love that she let the waist do all the talking.

2015 Berlin Film Festival Jury Members Wish List

Two years ago Audrey Tautou played the role of Mistress of Ceremonies at the Cannes Film Festival, and looked absolutely amazing doing so, and this year we will see her take to the red carpet as a member of the International Jury, which chooses the winners of the main competition. When I saw this amazing electric blue lace Christian Dior Spring 2015 Couture strapless tea length full skirted evening gown, my breath stopped. The dress is definitely one of my favorite Dior creations in a long time and I think that Audrey would give us a major Audrey Hepburn moment on the Berlinale red carpet in this gown. Audrey has a good friendship with Dolce & Gabbana so I figure one look will come from the house over the course of the festival. If she chooses to wear a gown from the collection, over a look for the photocall, I picked this Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2015 RTW printed gown. I think that this gown is a statement and Audrey would make it look like Haute Couture. Speaking of couture I think that this Giambattista Valli Fall 2014 Couture jumpsuit with chiffon house coat would be an amazing moment, probably my favorite if she wore it, because it is something that we NEVER see on the red carpet and Audrey is the perfect candidate to make this a perfect red carpet moment. And finally I picked a menswear inspired Lanvin Pre-Fall 2015 tuxedo that incorporates crystal embellishments on the shoulders. Menswear dressing is quickly becoming the biggest trend of 2015 and I think that this would be the perfect way for Audrey to join on on the fun. Add a menswear inspired button down and a pair of killer Christian Louboutin heels and this would make for a perfect look for a film festival premiere, but only if one wishes to stand out.
Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko is on the First Film Jury and I am praying that she will be on the perfect form that she was during the end of 2014. Olga has long proved why I love her so much with an amazing red carpet history and only narrowly not making Best Dressed of the Year lists several times. I think that this could be Olga's year. If Olga could get her hands on my favorite gown from the Chanel Fall 2014 Couture collection, then I think that this would be her first BDOTY contender. The silver and grey gown embellished with sequins and concrete beads is not for the faint of heart to wear on the red carpet and I think Olga is one of the few that has the presence to not make this gown look heavy. For a bold color statement I would have Olga wear this cinnamon red Marches Pre-Fall 2015 embroidered v-neck tulle ball gown rendered in tulle and features a deep V-neckline with scalloped lace detailing and a fully ruffled skirt. Going down the soft ethereal route this lavender Ralph & Russo Spring 2015 Couture gown would be absolutely perfect on Olga with her dark hair and milky skin. And finally a look going for edge and beauty would be this amazing Valentino Pre-Fall 2015 midnight blue tulle ball gown covered with galactic embroidery all over. This is probably the biggest statement that Olga could make on the red carpet. Not many would dare to wear this type of embroidered gown on the red carpet at a major film festival, and I think Olga is the one.

"The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" London Premiere Wish List

On December 1 the final installment of the Hobbit trilogy, "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies," will premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square in London. Cate Blanchett was ravishing during the first films promo tour and non-existent during the seconds. I am praying a short prayer to the fashion gods that Cate will take to the red carpet during the world premiere. I would choose this electric blue Lanvin Spring 2015 RTW silk column gown with matching leather belt as it is simple yet bold and impactful. The simple silhouette of this gown would look fantastic on Cate and the color would be a delightful treat against Cate's pale icey skin. A pair of silver pumps and some statement Chopard earrings would just further along a stunning red carpet ensemble.
Evangeline Lilly doesn't pop up much on the red carpet, in fact the last time we saw her on the red carpet was when the last Hobbit film premiered. Mrs Lilly prefers to keep her red carpet offerings simplistic and masculine with slight feminine touches. That is why I picked this silver Houghton Spring 2015 RTW cap sleeve gown. I think that the structured bodice mixed with the soft embellishments would make this a red carpet look perfect for Evangeline Lilly. Hair worn down in an edgy look, simplistic makeup, and a pair of silver sandals would finish off this perfect look for Evangeline and the "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" London premiere.

2014 Toronto International Film Festival Wish List Part 1

 "The Judge" will be the first major Gala during the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. Quickly moving up the glamour scale (which goes from Tribeca to Cannes) TIFF is becoming a celebrity hot spot. I am not even going to be able to cover all of the stars that will be taking to the red carpets in Toronto during this festival, but I will do my best to cover a lot of them. Leighton Meester stars alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Billy Bob Thornton in "The Judge" and I am really hoping that the actress, who has had a killer red carpet year, will walk the red carpet for the films TIFF Premiere. If she does so I would love to see Leighton wear this black to purple Elie Saab Fall 2014 RTW floating chiffon gown which features a sporty racer neck, a sexy thigh split, and an open back. I would keep this look sleekly styled with a black Rauwolf gem clutch, a pair of black Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals, and a pair of simple diamond earrings so that this looks just exudes contemporary sexy elegance. A sleek hair style and a smokey eye would be the perfect final touches to ensure that Leighton lands on the Best Dressed list.
 Vera Farmiga has had an up and down year so far on the red carpet and I hope that she pulls something amazing out when she takes to the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival alongside Leighton Meester, Billy Bob Thornton, and Robert Downey Jr. to premiere "The Judge." Vera usually wears a lot of black, only very recently breaking out into a few bold blues and reds on the red carpet. So I would not be surprised if Vera opts to wear black yet again while at TIFF. I would love to see that actress go for something sweet but edgy like this black Lanvin Resort 2015 jumpsuit which features a lace long sleeve blouse and silk tapered pants and a bow at the waist line. I think that this is something different for Vera and that she would look stunning wearing this ensemble. A black clutch and a pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps would be the perfect accessories for this look rounding it all out with a red lip would be the perfect way to bring it during TIFF
 Also premiering on the opening day of TIFF is "The Humbling." When the film premiered this weekend at the Venice Film Festival none of the lovely female stars took the journey to the Italian city for the red carpet. I am praying that this is not going to be the case come Toronto. As it is a daytime premiere but still for a film festival I picked this electric blue Bibhu Mohapatra Resort 2015 blouse and skirt ensemble for star Greta Gerwig to wear for the premiere of the film. This is a look that translates very well from day to evening which is perfect for this films TIFF premiere. I would pair this look with a blue Edie Parker clutch and a pair of black sandals to ensure that none of the look is competing with each other. Greta should style her hair in a sleek top knot and throw on a red lip color to ensure that she has the perfect red carpet ensemble.
 Kyra Sedgwick was not at the Venice Film Festival premiere of "The Humbling" either and I am hoping that she does make the trip to Toronto as she used to be a favorite to see on the red carpet. I would pick this black J. Mendel Resort 2015 top and pants ensemble that features silver brocade cap sleeves and a purple waistband. Some might say that this look is too young for Kyra but I think that she would look stunning, sleek, and modern wearing this J. Mendel ensemble. I would just add a light pink lip and a pair of black pumps to finish off this ensemble for Kyra.
 Gong Li exclusively wore Roberto Cavalli while she was at the Cannes Film Festival promoting her film "Coming Home," which will get its big TIFF premiere on Friday. I am hoping that Gong reaches out to other brands for this film festival. As much as I love Roberto Cavalli, I really think that Gong has the potential to wow me and I would love to see her rock so many different brands. For the TIFF premiere of "Coming Home" I would love to see Gong wear this midnight to sky blue Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture ombre gown. I think that this is an elegant gown which isn't too much for the TIFF red carpet but glamorous enough to ensure that Gong stands out amongst all the various red carpets during the course of the festival. A pair of silver sandals and some simple Chopard diamonds will ensure that Gong is perfectly styled for her big premiere.
And last but not least for today I have a wish for Octavia Spencer to wear for the premiere of her film "Black & White" on September 6th. For the most part, with very little variation, Octavia remains loyal to Tadashi Shoji the man that dressed her through her Academy Award campaign, which she ultimately won. I do not suspect that Octavia will opt for any other designer for this major film festival premiere. I just don't know what she will pick to wear. I have my bets that she and Tadashi are working on something custom based upon the designers Spring 2015 RTW collection that will be presented soon during New York Fashion Week. And well since I cant foresee the future I dove into the Tadashi Shoji Fall 2014 RTW collection and found this stunning teal lace cocktail dress that I think would look stunning on Octavia. She doesn't wear many bright colors so I think that this would be a stunning step out of her comfort zone. I think that Octavia would have the look slightly modified to that there was a slight cap sleeve to cover her arms, but other than that I think that this would make for a perfect TIFF premiere ensemble.

2014 Cannes Film Festival: 'Clouds of Sils Maria' Premiere Wish List

Kristen Stewart will premiere one film in Cannes and promote the sale of another (see a wish for that red carpet in the upcoming days.) "Clouds of Sils Maria" is the film that Kristen will be premiering In Competition during the festival. I will say that despite the fact that Kristen is the current face of Chanel Pre-Fall 2014 that I am hoping that she will not wear one of the houses creations for the red carpet. Her Met Ball gown was a total disaster and of the gowns available to view there are not any that I can see Kristen being able to rock. I think that this navy blue simple silhouette Armani Prive Spring 2014 Couture gown with silver embellishments would be absolutely perfect for her to make on the red carpet. A tight high bun will minimize the hideous orange hair that she currently has for a film, when will she learn that they make wigs for a reason, and a pair of simple black Christian Louboutin evening sandals will make this a perfect look.
Chloe Grace Moretz rocked the 2014 Met Ball red carpet in the Chanel collection that Kristen is the face of and it has made me very excited to see what she will bring to the Cannes Film Festival premiere of her film 'Clouds of Sils Maria.' While I figure we will see Kristen don couture I think ready-to-wear is a little more suited for Chloe. This blue, green, grey, and orange patchwork Valentino Fall 2014 RTW long sleeve gown would be a perfect option. While it is completely covered up I feel that this gown is youthful and light perfect for the French Riviera. A gold clutch, a pair of gold sandals, and a high updo will ensure that Chloe is on the best dressed list at her premiere.
I have a feeling that over the course of the festival we will mostly see Sofia Coppola wear short designs so I think that this blue and black Lanvin Fall 2014 RTW fringe dress is a perfect option. If all Sofia wears for 12 days is LBD after LBD I think I may slit my wrists. In 2010 we had Kate Beckinsale, 2011 Uma Thurman, 2012 was Diane Kruger, and Nicole Kidman last year; each of these women really brought the glamour to the red carpets of Cannes and I am nervous that the jury members this year are not going to be able to live up to the past. A black clutch and a pair of black sandals will finish this look off.

2014 Cannes Film Festival: Opening Ceremony & "Grace of Monaco" Premiere Wish List

Nicole Kidman will be back in Cannes this year to open the festival will her film 'Grace of Monaco' after serving on the Palme D'Or Jury during the 2013 festival. This Grace Kelly biopic has been much anticipated after not being ready for any of the 2013 film festivals or the 2014 awards season. Some people say that Nicole will start her journey to an Oscar with this premiere. Nicole used to be dressed by the late L'Wren Scott so I am eagerly awaiting what will come to the red carpet on May 15th. I am hoping that she pulls from the Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture collection because since it was presented last July I have been dying for a Nicole Kidman moment. This royal blue sleeveless silk gown is the regal moment that a Cannes premiere about a fashion icon princess is calling for. A wavy up-do, stunning diamond and sapphire cluster earrings, and a pair of blue satin pumps dyed to match would make this look 100% perfect for this red carpet.
Paz Vega is a staple on the red carpet in Cannes, but this year she will most likely grace the red carpet of the Opening Ceremony screening of 'Grace of Monaco' as she is one of the films stars. I have been in love with a few of the gowns from the Armani Prive Fall 2013 Couture collection that still have yet to be worn on the red carpet and I am still holding out hope that they will make it off the runway. This beaded cap sleeve mermaid gown has been one that I have been dying to see off the runway but it really needs a grand red carpet to support it and Cannes certainly does. Paz would look absolutely stunning in this design. An elegant vintage inspired updo, gold sandals, and some diamond cluster earrings will make up this absolutely stunning red carpet ensemble.
I am hoping that the 2014 Palme D'Or Jury brings more to the red carpet than their red carpet history presents. Sofia Coppola is one of the ladies on the jury and I have never been wowed by one of her looks so I am hoping that over the 12 day festival that I am able to fall in love with at least one of her looks. For the Opening Ceremony I picked this blueish green, white, and black Louis Vuitton Fall 2014 RTW dress. While the dress would be pretty as it is I would like for Sofia to have this gown lengthened into a full length gown. The sad thing is that new Louis Vuitton creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere has yet to produce a gown, even for the ladies he dressed for the Met Ball last night. A black Louis Vuitton clutch, a pair of black pumps, and a red lip would give me a jaw dropping look from Sofia on the Cannes red carpet.
The jury member that I am most likely going to fall in love with is Korean actress Jeon Do-Yeon. The star has received awards at Cannes before so and I am praying for some major moments from her over the course of this festival. For the Opening Ceremony I would love to see Jeon wear this ice blue Zuhair Murad Spring 2014 Couture embellished tulle ball gown with a high neck and open back. This is a very bold statement to make for this red carpet, but as they say 'go big, or go home.' Finish the look with a pretty updo, a silver crystal encrusted clutch, and a pair of silver sandals will give this gown the perfect simple touches to let it shine in Cannes.
And the final jury member that might bring a major red carpet moment is Carole Bouquet. The 56 year old French actress and model has a relationship with Chanel having attended events and couture shows hosted by the couture house. For the Opening Ceremony I have chosen this Chanel Spring 2013 Couture black embellished tiered skirt and under the jacket is a sleeveless blouse of the gown. I think that this is a gown that needs a red carpet moment and Carole would be perfect to give it its shining moment. A black Chanel satin clutch, a pair of black satin pumps, and of course a selection of stunning diamonds in her ears and maybe on her wrist will complete this perfect ensemble.
Last but not least I have a wish for Adele Exarchopoulos. Adele is not in the film or on the jury but in the following days of the Opening Ceremony Adele will be presented with the Chopard Trophee and the winners of the Trophee are usually in attendance at the Opening Ceremony, I am also praying that the patron of this years awards (Cate Blanchett) will also be in attendance. Adele has been either love or loathe for me on the red carpet and I am hoping for a major moment from her during Cannes. I think that this black textured Lanvin Fall 2014 RTW midi cocktail dress would make an amazing gown that would make for the perfect red carpet moment for someone who's night it is not yet at the Cannes Film Festival.

2014 MTV Movie Awards Wish List Part 2

Jennifer Lawrence is nominated for Best Female Performance in 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,' Best Kiss with Amy Adams from 'American Hustle,' Best Fight with Josh Hutcherson and Sam Claflin for their fight vs the Mutant Monkeys in 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,' and Best Musical Moment for her rendition of 'Live and Let Die' in 'American Hustle' at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards Because of her 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2' schedule Jennifer only attended three awards shows; the Golden Globes, SAG's, and the Oscars; and only one party, the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. And on three of the four red carpets Jennifer rocked Christian Dior, as expected. I figure that JLaw will rock another Dior look come the MTV Movie Awards. This charcoal grey and pearl white Christian Dior Spring 2014 Couture strapless mini dress is something that I can see the 23 year old blonde bombshell wearing. Its fitted yet structured which I think is something that would be just right for Jennifer's athletic build. I would rock this dress with a pair of black Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals and Jennifer's hair worn down in an elegant pixie style with a simple kohl rimmed eye would complete this MTV awards show perfect ensemble.
Kate Upton will join her 'The Other Women' co-stars Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards as a presenter. I am hoping that for Kate's first big Hollywood awards show and press tour that we get to see her give us more that just blonde bombshell. This fact is why I picked this Prabal Gurung Fall 2014 RTW long sleeve wrap style dress with a deep plunge and sexy split. I think that this dress is the perfect way to help Kate segway into a fashion girl and not just be a Sport Illustrated model. This dress would hug all of her famous curves and show off all of her best assets. Finish the look with a pair of gold pumps and full bodied blown out hair and a deep red lip will give Kate the rest of the fuel to make this look like something a modern Marylin would wear.
Lupita Nyong'o may already have the most coveted award in Hollywood, an Academy Award, but the Kenyan born actress will be vying for a Golden Popcorn for Best Female Performance in '12 Years a Slave.' What's sad about this nomination is that most likely the performance that Lupita gave in that film will be lost on the MTV voters. None the less I am hoping that the stunning actress will take to the red carpet and look stunning like she did all awards season. I picked this more conservative black and white Lanvin Fall 2014 RTW cocktail dress with a flouncy hem. This is a flirty and fun look that I would love to see Lupita rock. Most of her shorter looks have been curve hugging and I am ready to see a new silhouette from her. Having a love for pointed toe pump I think Lupita will pick a pair for this event, my recommendation to her would be to pair this dress with a pair of metallic royal blue pumps, a matching clutch, and a bold red lip to finish off this ensemble.
And finally for today I am wishing that Breakthrough Performance from 'The Wolf of Wall Street' Margot Robbie will give me a look that wow's again come the MTV Movie Awards April 23th. Having debuted deep chocolate locks in a bland black Saint Laurent gown at the 2014 Academy Awards, I am hoping that come the 13th Margot will have a wow moment. When she was a pretty blonde I never would have picked this deep green Julien Macdonald Fall 2014 RTW sheath dress for Margot, but I think that with her new dark 'do that she would give a great sexy face with this ensemble. A pair of simple black Saint Laurent 'Jane' sandals and a deep gold metallic clutch, hair swept up into a wavy updo, and a fresh face of makeup would give this look everything it needs to work on Margot on the red carpet.
