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 Tribeca Film Festival: 'Life Partners' Premiere Wish List

We haven't seen that much from Leighton Meester on the red carpets since the conclusion of 'Gossip Girl.' During the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival, the recently married, Leighton will make an appearance to premiere her new film 'Life Partners.' Leighton has recently partnered with the uber chic stylist Ilaria Urbinati, who dresses the likes of Nina Dobrev, Bradley Cooper, & Shailene Woodley. The two have had a few moments together but nothing as high profile as Tribeca, so I am sure there will be a top notch ensemble on the back of Mrs. Meester for this red carpet. I am picking this forest green Thakoon Pre-Fall 2014 draped jumpsuit, sands the light blue oxford that it was paired with in the look book. I would pair this look with a statement necklace, a simple gold Diane von Furstenberg clutch, and a pair of simple gold platform sandals to give Leighton the perfect look for Tribeca.

2013 CFDA Awards Wish List Part 3

 We haven't seen much of Leighton Meester since her hit show 'Gossip Girl' ended in December but I am hopeful that she will make a red carpet return at this years CFDA Awards. Leighton is the face of Vera Wang's 'Lovestruck' fragrance and this year the glam designer will be receiving the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award so it surprise me if Leighton isn't their to support Vera. I would love to see Leighton take to the red carpet wearing this black and white jacquard print cocktail dress from the Vera Wang Fall 2013 RTW collection. Leighton is usually known for amazing interesting taste in footwear so I am expecting some amazing Jimmy Choo or Brian Atwood dazzler and some amazing Harry Winston sparklers to complete this amazing red carpet ensemble.

 I have a hate/love relationship with Rita Ora on the red carpet sometimes she looks absolutely fantastic and others its a complete disaster doesn't seem like there is any middle ground. As Rita knows Alexander Wang well it would not surprise me if Rita attends as his guest as she knows how to do downtown glam and could pull off with great aplomb the dressy dressed down looks from Alexander Wang. For the CFDA Awards I would love to see Rita wear this white halter top and pants from the Alexander Wang Fall 2013 RTW collection. Complete this ensemble with her signature red lip and a pair of silver sandals and Rita will be a great ambassador for the Women's Wear Designer of the Year nominee on the red carpet.

And Finally to round out the 2013 CFDA Awards wish lists we have Stacy Keibler. Since she stepped out on the red carpet scene on the arm of George Clooney in the Fall of 2011 Stacy has been showing all of Hollywood that she is one to watch on the red carpet appearing in amazing gowns from the likes of Naeem Khan, Marchesa, and Armani Prive. But for this years CFDA Awards I would love to see Stacy support Accessories Designer of the Year nominee Phillip Lim by wearing this midnight blue 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2013 RTW velvet double breasted suit. I would want Stacy to ooze sex appeal wearing this menswear inspired ensemble so I would recommend that she go topless under the blazer highlighting her decolletage with a diamond and sapphire statement necklace from Van Cleef & Arpels, a pair of Casadei black patent leather t-strap 'Blade' pumps, and a cocktail ring would complete this absolutely amazing androgynous ensemble.

MET Ball Wish List: Kerry, Leighton, and Lily

 Kerry Washington is a MET Ball red carpet regular and she definitely has a reason to walk this year as she is about to premiere her new show 'Scandal' that you can see on ABC. I love to see Kerry in Georges Chakra and when she dons his designs she always looks absolutely stunning. For this years MET Ball I am wishing to see Kerry in this peachy pink Georges Chakra Spring 2012 Couture mermaid gown. I think that this gown is absolutely stunning and has the drama that is needed for the MET. A gold box clutch, gold pumps, and some amazing diamonds are what she should pair with this gown to make it absolutely stunning.

 Leighton Meester is another MET Ball regular and a huge fan of Louis Vuitton, having worn the brand on many of red carpets in the past. For this years MET Ball I would love to see Leighton to don this stunning red gown for the red carpet as when I saw it walk the runway she was the first person that came to mind. The only thing that I would change is that I would make this bell shaped skirt all the way to the floor and style this in a very 60's fashion. Add a box clutch in the same pattern of the dress in a lacquer box clutch, gold pumps, and her hair worn in a beehive style would create an ensemble that is exactly what the MET Ball is all about

Lily Collins has been having lots of princess moments on the red carpet lately most likely due to her role as Snow White in the film 'Mirror Mirror.' I am hoping to see the stunning pale actress don this amazing Marchesa Fall 2012 RTW gown that has stunning teal embroidery on the top and a champagne tulle ball skirt. I would not pair this look with a lot just maybe a pair of Champagne colored pumps and her hair worn up to show off the details of the top of the gown.

Teen Choice Awards Dress Picks: The K's and the L's

Katy Perry loves The Blonds (the Smurfette dress in the reference picture is by them). I chose this colorful fringe dress because the moment I saw it Katy's name screamed in my head. I would have her wear fuchsia Nicolas Kirkwood ankle strap sandals.

Its dark and a mini dress the two things that K Stew looks for in a dress I already know she will either wear black Christian Louboutin or Sergio Rossi pumps if she wore this so why bother finding a pair of heels that would be stunning when I know I'm gonna be let down in that department either way. NEXT!

OK so Kristen Wiig, I have no idea who she is, just know that she has been working a red carpet lately. She favors sweet ensembles which is why I choose this red Thakoon Resort 2012 dress. Sweet but sexy. I would give her a matching red clutch and red peep toe pumps.

Lea is a red carpet diva and a HUGE Oscar de la Renta fan. This feathered strapless dress is cute and perfect for her. I would pair this dress with grey embellished Jimmy Choo sandals.

Now after her trying to separate herself from her Gossip Girl character on the red carpet circa the fall of 2009 She has consistently gotten a whole lot better. I would love to see her in this Giambattista Valli dress and paired with yellow Burak Uyan Sandals, as she has not let me down in the shoe department in a very long time.
