#Oscars2016: Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon Wish List Part 2

I am probably most excited to see what Lady Gaga is going to wear in the lead up to the 2016 Academy Awards. Gaga is nominated for Best Original Song and is already confirmed to perform her nominated song "Till It Happens To You" during the telecast. For the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon I would love to see Gaga wearing this blue and purple ombre Armani Prive Fall 2016 Couture blazer and navy blue velvet pants. We have been seeing a very glamorous side of Gaga this year and I am loving it. Gone are the days of shock factor and in are the high fashion glam days. I originally thought that Cate Blanchett would wear this look but I think that Gaga would absolutely slay this for the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon. I can picture Gaga going full glam wearing this suit with a curly bob, pink lip, diamond cluster earrings, and a pair of black pumps for this red carpet. This might be a little over the top for most but on Gaga this is par for the norm and I love it.

Rachel McAdams kicked off Awards Season wearing a Lanvin ball gown which I equated with grandma's comforter at the Golden Globe Awards, but with each red carpet that passes I see her getting better and better. I am interested to see what the Best Supporting Actress nominee is going to wear for the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon on Monday. I would love to see her wearing this black and grey Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2016 striped jacquard flared dress. I think that this is a classic dress with a bold statement print which is perfect for a luncheon red carpet. Finish the look with a pair of silver pumps, a red lip, and a wavy bob and this look would be finished perfectly.

Rooney Mara is more often than not a total snooze fest on the red carpet and I am honestly expecting her to fade into the background at the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon. I would love to see her wearing this black ruched cotton Zac Posen Spring 2016 RTW dress which features a scoop neck with a keyhole detail at the bodice, sheer eyelet trim throughout, and a knee length a-line silhouette. I think that this dress is a statement in black, as I she will either wear black or white, and I honestly think that this will be one of the more bold and chic black looks that Rooney has ever worn. I figure the styling will be kept simple with a ballerina bun, a pair of black pumps, and classic barely there makeup to ensure that Rooney doesn't step outside of her very small style box.

Saoirse Ronan has yet to have a major WOW moment this awards season and I am hoping that she starts to take a couple of risks on the red carpet. With a love of edgy brands like Proenza Schouler I have been very surprised by just how underwhelming that she has been. I would love to see Saoirse wearing this multicolored Mary Katrantzou Pre-Fall 2016 dress rendered in jacquard and features a sheath silhouette with a jewel neckline, contoured seams, and a slightly flared knee length hem. I think that this dress is perfect for this red carpet to get her in an edgy look finally. The classic style mixed with the different colors and prints is a lot to take in but I think that Saoirse would be able to make it so chic on the red carpet. A pair of silver nude sandals, a pink lip, and pushed back sleek hair would add the perfect finishing touches so that the dress is the focus of this look, as it should be.

#TIFF2015: "Black Mass," "Forsaken," "Families," & "Brooklyn" Premieres Wish List

Dakota Johnson is going to have a busy few weeks come the end of August and the beginning of September. She has two films premiering at the Venice Film Festival then she will jet to Toronto where her film "Black Mass" is going to be presented at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. "Black Mass" is premiering at the festival as a special presentation which means that it most likely wont be as formal a premiere as a Gala. With that in mind it is still a major premiere at a major film festival so couture is expected. I picked this black Chanel Fall 2015 Couture flapper-esque cocktail dress for Dakota to wear on the red carpet because I think that this is a look that she has yet to try out on the red carpet and I do think that she would look amazing in this piece. Dakota attended the New York special presentation on the Chanel Pre-Fall 2015 collection and then wore a Chanel Couture mini dress to this years Met Gala so there is already a standing relationship between the two. I would finish this look off rather simply with a red lip, a wavy bob, simple black Christian Louboutin sandals, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings to keep in that vintage look that the dress holds.

Demi Moore stars alongside Kiefer Sutherland and Donald Sutherland in the film "Forsaken," which has a gala premiere slot at this years Toronto International Film Festival. It has been a hot minute since we have seen Demi on the red carpet and I gotta say that I am looking forward to what she might bring to the red carpet. I picked this black Prabal Gurung Resort 2016 lurex cable jacquard sleeveless gown which features a cable pattern flecked with metallic in an a-line silhouette with a square neckline and tulip high-low hem for Demi to wear for this premiere. It is a simple yet elegant statement for Demi to make on her red carpet return in a designer whom she helped launch the career of. I think that this is just dramatic enough for TIFF without being too over the top. I pray to the hair gods that Demi wears her hair up and back to showcase the neckline of this gown and I will forgive what I am sure will be a pair of boring black pumps worn with this dress.

Former fashion model turned actress Gemma Chan has been working the red carpet scene quite well recently, making splashes representing British designers mostly on her red carpet outings. Gemma will be in Toronto promoting her film "Families" and I can not wait to see what she will wear as it is expecting to be a chic colorful statement. I picked this Mary Katrantzou Resort 2016 'Amsonia" gown. This silk crepe gown features a square neck, front crossing straps and multicolor accordion pleat details coming from the front darts creating a relaxed silhouette perfect for a special presentation premiere. I would further the pops of color with a pink lip, pink sandals, and add a gold clutch for a metallic pop to ensure that no one will dull Gemma's shine.

Rounding out today's first set of wishes for the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival is Saoirse Ronan who will be presenting her film "Brooklyn" in a special presentation slot at the festival. The 21 year old Irish actress definitely marches to the beat of her own drum on the red carpet picking looks that most would fear to wear on the red carpet and I am hoping that she keeps up her avant garde look at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. With that in mind I picked this peacock like Chanel Spring 2014 Couture feathered cocktail dress. I honestly think that this dress screams for Saoirse to wear it on the red carpet and TIFF is the perfect platform to be able to do so. With such a bold dress a simple pair of black sandals, a sleek bun, and fresh faced makeup will ensure that Saoirse knocks this look out on the red carpet. 

Be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook during the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, which runs from September 10 to September 20, to keep on top of all the looks that come down the red carpet.

2015 MTV Movie Awards: Elizabeth Banks, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence & Jennifer Lopez Wish List

The 2015 MTV Movie Awards will take place on Sunday night I am very excited to see what all of the stars will be rocking to the edgiest of the movie awards. Elizabeth Banks is nominated for Best On-Screen Transformation for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1." I am super excited to see what Elizabeth will rock on the red carpet as she has always been one of my favorite red carpet stars. I would love to see Elizabeth rock this David Koma Fall 2015 RTW embellished a-line cocktail dress. I think think that this dress is very simple and classic in its silhouette, but the embellishments help make it pack a punch. A pair of strappy black sandals, a blue Edie Parker clutch, red lip, and a simple hairstyle would ensure that Elizabeth hits all the red carpet high notes.

Emma Stone holds nominations at Sunday nights MTV Movie Awards for Best Actress thanks to her role in "Birdman" and for Best Kiss thanks to her kiss with Andrew Garfield in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." Emma, much like Elizabeth, is one that I always adore seeing on the red carpet and coming off of an amazing awards season run I am excited to see what she is going to wear. I would love see Emma don this amazing Mary Katrantzou Fall 2015 RTW 'Orlinda' pink and red dress that features a shift silhouette with a velvet flocked tulle bodice, a square neckline, embossed wool detailing in a cube pattern, and a jacquard skirt with hand embroidered PVC embellishment at the hem. This is an out there look that is going to take someone with a lot of red carpet presence to pull off and I believe that Emma has what it takes. Finish the look with a pair of simple black sandals and a fresh face of makeup will ensure that Emma slays the MTV Movie Awards red carpet.

Jennifer Lawrence has 3 nominations at the MTV Movie Awards and I am sure that she will take home at least one golden popcorn award. I loved Jennifer in her updated Dior couture version of the Pretty Woman hooker dress and I am sure that the Dior spokesmodel will wear a creation from the house for the MTV Movie Awards. I would pick this very simple black cap-sleeved Christian Dior Spring 2015 Couture mini-dress that features sequin embellishments down the center. I think that despite this being a basic LBD that Jennifer would look super chic and best dressed worthy. A black Dior clutch and a pair of blue sandals would add the perfect pizazz to this ensemble.

"The Boy Next Door" has earned Jennifer Lopez a Best Scared-As-Shit Performance nomination at the MTV Movie Awards. We are so used to seeing JLo wear embellished mini dresses that  I think that this blue and white Bibhu Mohapatra Fall 2015 RTW strapless column dress would be a perfect ensemble for her to switch things up for the MTV Awards. Not keeping a bit of sparkle away for too long I would imagine that Jennifer would finish this look with a blue Edie Parker confetti clutch, a pair of nude pumps, a sexy smokey eye, thick sexy hair, and some sort of diamonds somewhere. I think that this look could have the potential to be a favorite.

2015 Vanity Fair Oscar After Party Wish List Part 3

2015 Peoples Choice Awards Wish List Part 2

Jennifer Lopez, nominated for Favorite Pop Artist, at next weeks Peoples Choice Awards is always one that I look forward to seeing on the red carpet. The stunning Latina works the red carpet like the true diva that she is. I pray that she brings her sparking personality to the PCA red carpet. I picked this silver all over embellished Zuhair Murad Fall 2014 Couture long sleeve silver cocktail dress with an asymetrical hem for the pop star because from the moment that I first saw the dress take to the runway back in July I have wanted to see star in it. Styled simply with a silver box clutch and a pair of silver Christian Louboutin sandals and a red lip I think we would have a more than stunning red carpet moment for Jenny from the Block.

"Scandal" star Kerry Washington has earned herself a nomination for Peoples Choice Favorite Dramatic TV Actress and she is another that I can not wait to see take to the red carpet. I love that Kerry takes fashion risks while owning absolutely everything that she puts on her body. For the Peoples Choice Awards I picked this acid yellow Peter Pilotto Spring 2015 RTW paisley cocktail dress that has sheer embroidered polyester construction with an a-line mini skirt, a high round neck, and paisley embellishments at the front. As the dress is such a bold statement I would keep the stunning minimal with just a simple pair of yellow Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals and a simple gold box clutch would finish this look off in a way that would only enhance the stunning dress. Hair pulled back into a tight bun and a nude lip would finish this look off perfectly for the PCA's.

amfAR generationCURE Annual Solstice Wish List

2014 Cannes Film Festival: 'The Search' Premiere Wish List

Berenice Bejo will take to the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals on Wednesday May 21st to premiere her film 'The Search.' Since her red carpet debut in 2011, I feel like I have said this a lot in the past few days, Berenice has been a staple in Cannes; premiering films or acting as the Mistress of Ceremonies. This year will be no different. At the Opening Ceremony of the film Elie Saab had two major moments on Paz Vega and Jane Fonda which has, I hope, just kickstarted a fabulous run for the designer during this festival. Berenice tends to pick gowns that look very sophisticated. Last year she picked a white Alexis Mabille Couture tulle ballgown that she paired with a belted blue double breasted blazer and for this year I am picking this Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture micro floral print organza ball gown that features 3/4 length sleeves and a deep v. A tight big bun hair style on top of her head, a bright pink lip, a pink Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver sandals, and of course a pair of dazzling Chopard diamond earrings will just add the perfect finishing touches to this red carpet look.

Sofia Coppola proved to me at the Opening Ceremony that even though I prayed to the fashion gods that I am most likely not going to see her step out of her comfort zone wearing an embellished Valentino black tunic and shorts. While I am still holding out hope that Sofia will rock something out of her norm I am conceding the gown wish. I picked this navy blue Mary Katrantzou sequin long sleeve trapeze dress with silver, white, red and lighter blur embellishments for Sofia to wear on the red carpet during Cannes. It is completely out of her realm of Valentino, Louis Vuitton, and Marc Jacobs labels and that is exactly what I am hoping for. She will pair this dress without a doubt her Sofia Coppola for Louis Vuitton clutch and a pair of all Black sleek wedges as per her norm but the dress itself is a statement in itself.

2014 MTV Movie Awards Wish List Part 3

Recently I have not been impressed with Rose Byrne on the red carpet, which is shocking because I used to love her, but her most recent looks have been dowdy and matronly. I am hoping Rose brings edge and glamour to the 2014 MTV Movie Awards red carpet where she is nominated for Best Scared As Shit Performance for her work in 'Insidious: Chapter 2.' This silver Mary Katrantzou Fall 2014 RTW jacquard silk suit would give me the wow moment on Rose that I have been longing for recently. I would not style this suit with a shirt instead opting for a sexy string of diamonds by the yard necklace, a pair of Stella McCartney silver holographic pointed toe pumps, and a red lip to finish off this absolutely fantastic ensemble for an MTV event.

Sandra Bullock was either love or meh on the red carpet over awards season, experimenting with several different looks. What seems to work best on the comedic star are elegant lady like ensembles. Nominated at the MTV Movie Awards for Best Female Performance for 'Gravity,' I am hoping that Sandy brings a lady like elegance to the edgy awards ceremony come April 13th. This blue silk Lela Rose Fall 2014 RTW shift dress would look fantastic on Sandy and would make for such a stunning red carpet moment. Finished with a pair of black patent leather Christian Louboutin pointed toe Pigalle pumps, a red lip, and pin straight locks will finish this look for the MTV Movie Awards.

I had originally wanted to see Shailene Woodley, who will be presenting with her 'A Fault in Our Stars' co-star Ansel Elgort, to wear a black to maroon Elie Saab cocktail dress, but it was sadly worn in an unimpressive way. So I changed my wish to this all maroon Cushnie Et Ochs Pre-Fall 2014 fit-to-flare gown with a deep plunging neckline. Shailene's new stylist Illaria Urbinati has been working wonders with the actress who's style I never really like prior to her recent 'Divergent' press tour. This absolutely amazing dress is something that would make Shailene sexy, which is not a look that she has gone for before. Finish the look with a pair of simple gold sandals and a gold clutch to ensure that Shailene looks perfect for the MTV Movie Awards.

Miranda Kerr to wear the Resort 2014 Collections

Miranda Kerr had the Best Street Style Award in lock last year with several amazing sidewalk style looks this year it seems the stunning Victoria's Secret model has a little competition from Olivia Palermo, Beyonce, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and I have a feeling that it will be a close race to the bitter end. Today I'm going to bring you a few looks that would help boot Miranda up on the Best Street Style list. This blue floral A.L.C. Resort 2014 would be an absolutely amazing pick for Miranda for when she just steps out of her New York City apartment to run some errands like grocery shopping and taking her adorable son Flynn out on a play date. Not one to usually forgo a pair of stilettos I would actually have Miranda wear a pair of black sandals and carry a blue 3.1 Phillip Lim 'Pashli' tote and a pair of oversized sunglasses would complete this amazing look.

In the Resort 2014 collections Marchesa released a contemporary diffusion line named Marchesa Voyage which is designed with the same woman in mind that purchases the luxe evening wear from the main label as well as the Notte by Marchesa (the lower priced evening wear line) at a much more affordable cost to them. Having worn a stunning Marchesa dress at the 2011 Met Gala as a guest of the brand I would say that she is one of the women that they had in mind as a client for this collection especially after seeing this amazing Marchesa Voyage Resort 2014 zipper embellished dress. I could see Miranda wear with a white blazer a pair of white pointy toe Manolo Blahnik pumps and a blue and black Jason Wu 'Jourdan' satchel making the perfect look for running around the city from meeting to meeting as she runs her empire.

In an appearance on 'Good Morning America' earlier this year Miranda Kerr donned a stunning Mary Katrantzou printed pencil dress and looked absolutely perfect for her interview. For that dress Miranda actually did not pick the original runway look as it was extremely covered up and over the top but waited for the commercial version of the dress to come out. This is the very first Resort collection from Mary Katrantzou which shows her much more commercial side. This look presented on her normal Fall or Spring runway would have most likely been completely embellished but this look is just printed silk and would look amazing on Miranda as she runs around New York City promoting herself and Victoria's Secret. In fact I would actually add the same orange Alexander McQueen 'Heroine' handbag and blue pumps that she is pictured wearing in the picture on the left to complete a perfect look for promoting herself.

Last but not least we have another favorite look from all the Resort 2014 collections, this one courtosey of Peter Pilotto. Why is this one of my favorites? Well I love the mix of structure, draping, and color blocking as well as the designers rare departure from mixed media prints. This is another great look for Miranda to wear as she runs around the city from business meeting to business meeting. This is a very professional look which Miranda pulls off like anything else that she wears. A pair of white pointy toe Manolo Blahnik pumps and a blue Prada 'Pyramid Accordion'  frame bag would be the perfect finishing touches to this amazing look.

Dita von Teese to wear the Resort 2014 Collections Wish List

Dita von Teese the Queen of Fetish and Burlesque dancing made a welcome red carpet return earlier this year. Dita has always been one of my favorite ladies to see grace the red carpets and is one of the few people who can pull off the complete pin-up ensemble. So this year instead of just doing a single '10 Best of the Resort 2014 Collections' post I am going to show four looks for a celebrity that makes a lot of red carpet appearances but does not get featured on here often. Up first we have the Carolina Herrera Resort 2014 collection with this amazing black gown with sheer sleeves with white beading. Dita would rock this look for any number of gala appearances that she makes.

When I saw this powder blue Marchesa Resort 2014 Grecian draped dress I thought of how light and airy it would look on Dita who normally wears very structured ensembles and this ethereal gown would be a welcome variation to her normal ensembles. The usual Marchesa Resort 2014 collection is just as large as any other runway collection but this year a modest 14 look garden inspired collection was presented and this powder blue gown will most likely be the most fought over look from the collection as it is a classic Marchesa style. Dita should finish this look with a silver Judith Leiber clutch, a pair of silver Christian Louboutin sandals, as well as sapphire and diamond jewelry and Dita will have the perfect look for a red carpet event.

Up next I have a stunning Mary Katrantzou Resort 2014 strapless cocktail dress. The funky London based designer released her very first Resort collection this year and there are definitely some major red carpet moments held within. This amazing window pane rose full skirted cocktail dress with this amazing dress has to be one of my favorite out of all the Resort collections as it is awesomely amazing and so stunning. This dress is very 50's in style and the print only adds to the amazingness of the ensemble. On Dita that this cocktail dress would just come to life with a pair of red Christian Louboutin pumps.

And last but not least is a stunning Zac Posen Resort 2014 floral patterned cocktail dress. This dress is totally 40's/50's influenced by the way of the 1980's. I think that this dress is actually very similar to the black velvet Ulyana Sergeenko Couture dress that Dita wore to the 2013 amFAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala during the Cannes Film Festival. I think that this dress would totally surpass the Ulyana dress solely based on the fact that it is not a standard black dress. Complete this ensemble for Dita with a pair of amazing crystal encrusted Christian Louboutin pumps and some amazing Chopard diamond jewelry and this will make international red carpet best dressed lists.

2012 MTV Video Music Awards: Katy Perry

There are only a few words that can describe Katy Perry; talented, sexy, and quirky are the ones that come to mind right away for me. I think that this yellow and fuchsia Mary Katrantzou Fall 2012 patterned dress. I love that Mary creates all these prints and patterns all on her own using unexpected items. I can not tell from the far away image what it is that created the patterns in this look but I am sure they are not what you would expect. Katy can pull off some of the edgiest looks that walk the runway and I think that this is one of them. Pair this with just a pair of hot pink strappy sandals and her quirky purple sleek bob and this look is something perfect for Katy for the VMA's.

Emma Watson for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 London Premiere

This is Emma Watson's final press tour for the "Harry Potter" series, and I think she should go out with a bang. I think Emma has an amazing sense of style and doesn't need much advice. For the London premiere of this movie I think that Emma should wear a British designer that is why I choose this stunning avant garde Mary Katrantzou Fall 2010 Ready To Wear dress. It has a lot of visual interest which is why I choose to go without any jewelry and a white Judith Leiber clutch and silver Yves St Laurent sandals.
