2016 Critics Choice Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 3

I was really surprised that Kirsten Dunst opted for an all black velvet Valentino Couture gown for the Golden Globe Awards this past week, she looked beautiful but I was expecting something major from Rodarte. I am hoping that when Kirsten steps out for the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday that she gives me something interesting to look at. I picked this white cold shouldered Givenchy Pre-Fall 2016 embroidered gown. While Kirsten has never worn Givenchy in the past this gown is very much her type of look, classic with a bit of a twist. I love seeing Kirsten, with her peachy pink pale skin, wearing light colors and I think she would look so angelic wearing this white gown. Finished with a vintage inspired updo, a lined eye, red lip, diamond drop earrings, a silver clutch, and a pair of silver sandals and this look is ready for the Critics Choice Awards red carpet.
Krysten Ritter is one of the most underrated style stars in the red carpet world. There is very rarely a time when Krysten steps out on a red carpet and I don't love what she is wearing and I am sure that will be the case when she steps out on the red carpet Sunday night at the Critics Choice Awards. Krysten, who is nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series for the Netflix series Jessica Jones, would look amazing wearing this black Carolina Herrera Spring 2016 RTW gown which features a deep v-neck, an a-line floor length skirt, and illusion seams throughout. This gown is elegant but extremely modern which is what I think would look amazing on Krysten on this red carpet. I don't expect to see the same type of big gowns we saw on the red carpet at the Globes. Styled with a Rauwolf violet 'Castellum' gemstone clutch, a pair of black sandals, old Hollywood waves, a smokey eye, and a pair of Chopard diamond drop earrings and Krysten will hold her own against some of the most revered red carpet stars.
Mary J. Blige is not one I usually get excited about when it comes to the red carpet. I tend to feel like her style is stuck in the 90s or early 2000's. I am interested to see what she would wear on the red carpet of the Critics Choice Awards where she is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Movie Made for Television or Limited Series for The Wiz! Live. I decided to go with something a little more modern and edgy for Mary, since she is more of a recording artist than a TV star, by picking this white Jonathan Simkhai Pre-Fall 2016 3D mesh jumpsuit which features a one shoulder neckline with cascading ruffle trim, illusion cutout detailing, a fluid wide leg pant, and one ruffle slashed pant leg. I think that this is a perfect modern look for Mary to rock which still has a load of glamour, the wide leg pant and split mimic the idea of an evening. Finish the look with a sleek sliver metal clutch, a pair of Jimmy Choo silver 'Lance' sandals, and a pair of statement emerald and diamond drop earrings and this is a look that I can get behind for Mary.
I was one of the few who was not a fan of the Lanvin gown that Rachel McAdams wore to the Golden Globe Awards this past weekend and I am hoping for something better when she steps out for the Critics Choice Movie Awards. I picked this black Marchesa Notte Spring 2016 RTW gown which features cap sleeves, side cutouts, an open back, and gold embroidery on the stomach for Rachel who is nominated for Best Supporting Actress thanks to her role in the movie Spotlight. It has been a while since I have actually fully loved a look from Rachel and I would love to see her continue to get better and better, and I think that this gown would help her do exactly that. Finished with a Rauwolf black and gold lace "emerald-cut" clutch a pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps, a wavy bob, and a red lip this would be a perfect look for Rachel on the red carpet at the Critics Choice Awards.
Rooney Mara was one that I was intrigued to see what she was going to wear over the course of awards season and my interest is already fizzling out. It has been bland or black since the start and I while I know that is her MO, none of these looks have made me take notice of her. I would love to see Rooney wear this peachy pink Chanel Pre-Fall 2016 embroidered tea length gown with a plunging neckline. I think that this peachy color would be just what Rooney needs to make me start taking an interest in her style again and the feather embroidery helps with that as well. This is a very visually intersting gown and I think that it would make such a beautiful moment on the Critics Choice Awards red carpet. Finish the look with a pair of simple gold sandals and pretty pink makeup and Rooney will for sure get me talking about her again.

2015 American Music Awards: Nicki Minaj, Miranda Lambert, & Mary J. Blige Red Carpet Wish List

Nicki Minaj has been having a pretty good year on the red carpet and I am actually quite interested to see what she will wear on the American Music Awards red carpet on Sunday night. I think that Nicki has been growing and going for more glamour with a twist than outfits with shock value and I appreciate that. Despite being a muse for Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy I am picking this embellished Alexander McQueen Resort 2016 fitted spaghetti strap gown. This gown probably isn't going to happen but I think that it would be cool but I am thinking that this gown would have to be modified to accommodate all of Nicki's curves. A pair of simple black Givenchy sandals, a black clutch, sleek straight locks, and fresh faced makeup will ensure that Nicki slays the red carpet.
Miranda Lambert often falls plague to the big poufy dress that country stars so often think look great on the red carpet and most of the time I think that Miranda looks like she is trying to hard wearing them on the red carpet. I think this electric blue Georges Hobeika Fall 2015 Couture strapless mermaid gown would look absolutely amazing on the red carpet and on Miranda for the red carpet. We don't get many high glamour moments on the AMA's red carpet but this could be one of the few. A pair of silver sandals, diamond cluster earrings, loose curls and red lip will ensure that this is a perfect moment on the red carpet at the American Music Awards.
I dont ever get too excited when I see Mary J. Blige on the red carpet. She rarely delivers something that I find interesting and I am not holding her to much for her look when it comes to the red carpet on Sunday night. I picked this black Brandon Maxwell Spring 2016 RTW strapless gown which has as little visual interests via the layered ruffles on the bodice. I think that just by wearing the designer of the moment that it would help elevate Mary's red carpet look. Keeping the styling simple with a black Edie Parker clutch, a pair of black sandals, a pair of diamond earrings, her signature bob, and a red lip would ensure that Mary makes some sort of an impact on the red carpet.

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.

'Rock of Ages' LA Premiere Wish List

'Rock of Ages' is a jukebox musical that took Broadway by storm when it opened in 2009 and now they have assembled and all star movie cast to perform all the 1980's classic rock hits from bands such as Journey, Bon Jovi , and Styx. Catherine Zeta Jones is amongst the cast and I am excited to see what one of my favorite red carpet divas brings to the red carpet at the LA premiere. I would love to see her wear this amazing long sleeves crochet Elie Saab Fall 2012 RTW black gown. I think that this gown would look absolutely stunning on Catherine as it is sexy while still being sophisticated. Catherine never really carry's a clutch so weather she does or not doesn't really bother me but she must add a pair of black strappy sandals.
Julianne Hough is a hit or a miss on the red carpet for me and I think that if she takes my advice and wears this stunning gold Naeem Khan Fall 2012 RTW disco gown that she could quite possibly have a hit on her hands. To complete this look she should a gold Edie Parker clutch, gold metallic strappy sandals, and her hair voluminous and giant but not tacky.
 Malin Ackerman is another one of the stunning actresses who graces the big screen in this Broadway to Hollywood musical film and it would not surprise me to see her at the LA premiere, I mean it is her movie after all lol. For this premiere I had originally wished for Malin to wear a maroon stunning J. Mendel Fall 2012 RTW gown but Mia Wasikowska wore it to her Cannes Film Festival premiere before I could post the wish, so back to the drawing boards I went. I ended up picking this stunning red Maria Lucia Hohan Fall 2012 RTW Gown. Maria has been really popular on the red carpet since about October of last year and since as dressed everyone from Taylor Swift to Jennifer Lopez to Katherine Heigl and Stacy Keibler. I wanted Malin to bring the old school glam for this premiere and I think that she could with this gown with a classic wavy up-do a la Grace Kelly, a red clutch, red strappy sandals, a few small diamond bracelets, and simple makeup.
Mary J. Blige is the last major celebrity that is set to grace the screen in this film. For the LA Premiere there are three brands that she will most likely choose from Gucci, Roberto Cavalli, and Michael Kors. I am hoping that she goes with this stunning black Michael Kors Fall 2012 RTW gown with a plunging neckline. I think that this would be absolutely stunning on Mary who tends to get it all wrong on the red carpet. I am not saying that this will get her on the best dressed lists, but it will keep her off the worst dressed lists. Add a black clutch, black peep toes, and some amazing diamonds and she is set.

MET Ball Wish List: Marion, Mary, and Mila

 I know Marion Cotillard is a huge fan of Christian Dior and she used to be a spokesmodel for the brand, but I am hoping to see her wear another brand she used to favor this year at the MET Ball, if she is to attend, Chanel. I think that this stunning multi shade of blue sequin Chanel Spring 2012 Couture gown would be absolutely stunning on the dark haired French beauty. She should do a short 20's inspired wave hair do, simple makeup, a navy clutch, and navy peep toe pumps to create a sexy but chic look.
 Mary J. Blige is a staple at the MET Ball on the red carpet. One of Mary's favorite designers to wear, who she wears almost exclusively along with Gucci, on the red carpet is Michael Kors. At last years MET Ball Mary walked the famous steps in a Gucci gown so for this year I have decided to put her in this long sleeved Michael Kors Fall 2012 RTW figure hugging gown in a sparkly black fabric. Mary would wear her hair also in 20's finger waves carry a black clutch and pair her look with black pumps.
Mila Kunis is the newest face of Christian Dior so I am expecting her to walk the red carpet as a guest of Dior, who I am sure will be showing off its new creative director Raf Simons. I would love to see Mila wear this amazing layered black, white and grey Christian Dior Spring 2012 Couture ball gown with a focal bow detail on the hip. I think that this is an extremely sexy in a different way gown just like Mila is a sexy in a different way kinda woman. No clutch, black sandals, and some stand out jewels either sapphires, emerald, or yellow diamonds are exactly what she should pair with this gown to make a stunning ensemble.

Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade Wish List

I would like to let everyone know that all of the items from today's wishes come from Net-A-Porter.Com
Avril Lavigne is one of the few major celebrity performers that will be on a float in this years Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade. So to keep with Avril's punk style I have chosen a plaid hemed coat from McQ by Alexander McQueen coat (Sold Out), well because it is going to be cold in New York City as it is November. I would add the plaid shirt from Etoile by Isabelle Marant and black waxed jeans from Levis, Elizabeth and James combat boots, and a Missoni scarf.
I guess Debbie Mazar will be one of the celebrities that they interview in the crowd as the parade passes by about her family Thanksgiving traditions. So I think that she will look amazing as she always does in her 10940's-esque style. To achieve this I have paired a red Issa coat with a black lace Yves St Laurent dress, Valentino bow back boots, and red and leopard print Agent Provocateur gloves to complete this elegant look.
Mary J Blige is also the other big musical performer that is set to take to a float this Thanksgiving Day in New York City. Mary is a HUGE Fan of Gucci which is why I have given her this amazing Gucci belted shearing coat as the main focus of this look. To keep the focus on the coat and on Mary I just paired this with a beige McQ by Alexander McQueen sweater, camel Citizens of Humanity jeans, and nude Reed Krakoff boots. The only thing I think that Mary will add to this look is a pair of sunglasses.

American Music Awards Wish List: J. K, L, M, N!!!

Jennifer Lopez is a DIVA and there is no disputing that. Right now I am pretty sure she could get any designer to lend her clothing to wear on the red carpet because she is on fire. For the 2011 American Music Awards I have chosen this amazing white Givenchy Spring 2012 RTW look. I think that Jennifer should wear it with the sheer panels as presented on the runway. And to complete this look silver Christian Louboutin embellished pumps and a bejeweled clutch would be all this diva needs to work this look.
Katy Perry has a quirky sense of style and that is one of the things I love most about her she is sort of unpredictable. If I choose a gown for her then she will wear a cocktail dress or vise versa. So I have decided to choose this stunning yellow Christian Dior Spring 2011 Couture gown. This is from John Galliano's final collection for the house before his infamous anti-semantic rants. I think that Katy Needs to stay true to the dress and wear it at the ankle length and not go floor length as most would. To top this look gold strappy sandals would be the only thing needed to finish this look off.
Kelly Clarkson is take it or leave it when it comes to seeing her on the red carpet. I am hoping that when she takes to the red carpet for the 2011 American Music Awards that she is a hit. I think that if she wears this black, white, and yellow Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012 RTW gown that she will be, She would need to add a pair of silver sandals but as I am almost 100% positive she will wear black pumps and if she must then please let them be peep toe. A great pair of chandelier earrings would add the perfect amount of frost to this hot spring look.
Kelly Rowland has been a hit or miss as well on the red carpet. Playing second best to Beyonce since the breakup of Destiny's Child, Kelly has started to come into her own on the red carpet. The X Factor UK judge and singer has worn Julien Macdonald in the past and rocked it, so I decided to pull from his latest collection for Kelly to wear to the 2011 American Music Awards. This dress is sexy and avant garde and I think the dove grey/silver color would look amazing on Kelly. This looks is edgy as it is but I would add a simple silver tube clutch and some amazing strappy silver Versace Fall 2010 RTW shoes would just make this look PERFECT.
I was not a fan of the new Azzedine Alaia couture collection and if anyone could take to over the top gown and make it work for me it is the Monster Queen herself Lady Gaga. She has worn one look from this collection already and I am hoping to see her in this gown at the 2011 American Music Awards. I know she will add crazy hair or hat and some sky high heels and That is exactly what I want from her in this look.
I have not seen Mary J Blige on the red carpet in such a long time and I am hoping that the Gucci lover decides to take a dress from the Spring 2012 RTW collection. I think that this is a very MJB choice and think that she would look absolutely stunning in it. To finish this look matchy gold clutch and strappy sandals are what I want to see this look paired with.
I have never actually been a fan of Miranda Lambert on the red carpet, why? She has no clue how to dress herself she is always wearing something that is ill-fitting in one way or another. I choose this Betsey Johnson Spring 2012 RTW white peplum dress because I think it is most her style. Footwear is a lost cause with this girl because I already see her wearing heavy black pumps and ruining this look for me. Oh well, NEXT....
Now this is really a stretch, asking Nicki Minaj to sort of me restrained and not covered in cut up stuffed animals. I wish that she would wear this Christian Dior Fall 2011 Couture gown on the red carpet. I can live with her wearing some crazy platform shoes and some giant multi colored Afro if she wore this. But I am already guessing that she is going to disappoint me and be on my worst dressed list.

You can see if any of these wishes come true when the American Music Awards airs live on Sunday Nov 20th at 8pm EST on ABC.
