2014 Emmy Awards: Best Actress in a Drama Series Nominees Wish List

With the Primetime Emmy Awards just 2 weeks away all of the nominees are going through their fittings making sure that they are going to look their best. I am of course going to give my input on to what I believe that each lady should wear, as always. Up first is Best Actress in a Drama Series nominee Claire Danes. The "Homeland" star has been one to usually wow me but this year her looks have just been alright. I am hoping that come the Emmy's that Claire will be back at the top of her game. I always think that Claire usually looks her best when she is wearing Armani. With that in mind I would love to see her wear this black and red Armani Prive Fall 2014 Couture sculpted peplum gown. I think that this figure hugging silhouette is perfect for this event. Not to much but not boring. Finish the look with a sleek up-do, a red lip, lined eye, a red clutch, and a pair of black Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals to ensure that Claire is once again on top.

Julianna Margulies is nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her work in "The Good Wife" yet again and from what I read it is a big possibility that she will bring home the trophy. With that in mind I want to see Julianna bring it to the red carpet at the 2015 Emmy Awards on the 25th. This blood red to dusty red Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture ombre gown with a plunging neck would be a perfect winning ensemble. I think that Julianna works the red carpet like a pro but often she makes choices that fade into the background or things that don't totally flatter her. This gown would give statement pictures on the red carpet and flow beautifully as she walks up to the podium to accept her award. Julianna will also be on hand as a confirmed presenter. The runway clutch, a pair of gold Christian Louboutin sandals, and a pair of gold set ruby and diamond earrings would finish this look off perfectly for the 2014 Emmy Awards.

If I had to pick a winner for the 2014 Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, I would definitely give my vote to Kerry Washington in "Scandal." while she is considered a threat, like Julianna Margulies, to Robin Wright taking home the trophy I would jump up and down with joy if Kerry won. I would bring some of Kerry's character, Olivia Pope, to her look which might help bring her some extra luck. White is the signature color of Mrs Pope so this white Giambattista Valli Fall 2014 Couture strapless flowing gown with purple and white shirred detail on the bodice would make an expert choice for Kerry to make on the red carpet. Kerry kinda faltered on the red carpet during her pregnancy but since she has been back on top of her game. I might cut the shirred details back so that they are a little more subtle on Kerry. Completing this ensemble with a sleek up do, a white Edie Parker clutch, a pair of purple sandals, and a fresh face of makeup would make this look absolutely perfect for the red carpet at the 2014 Emmy Awards.

I know that Lizzy Caplan has been busy with her stylist Ilaria Urbanati picking her ensembles for Emmy's week. I have recently come about to start loving Lizzy's red carpet moments and I am hoping that she wins my heart yet again on the Emmy Awards red carpet. I believe that Lizzy looks her best in simple sporty type of ensemble. That is why when I was going through pictures trying to pick a gown for her I stumbled on this canary diamond colored Elie Saab Resort 2015 sleeveless gown on the left side of the picture on the right. This gown is perfect for the Emmy's as it isn't too much and it would fit her absolutely stunning figure. A gold clutch and a pair of gold sandals, as well as a few simple selections of canary diamonds will ensure that Lizzy rocks the Emmy red carpet.

Michelle Dockery is part of one of the most beloved series on television, "Downton Abby," and she has received a nomination every year and has yet to take a trophy home herself. Sadly this is not going to be hear year either but I am sure that Michelle will rock the red carpet despite that fact. In the past few years she has always graced the Emmy Awards red carpet wearing a custom gown, so I figure that trend will continue again this year. While I can not pick the custom design that she might wear, as they are top secret, I can pick a gown for her to wear from the runways. This sporty ice blue Jason Wu Resort 2015 gown would look stunning on Michelle who tends to go for a more lady like ensemble. A silver Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver sandals, and some stunning statement diamond earrings would ensure that Michelle will make this a red carpet moment perfection.

Finally I have a wish for most likely to be voted Best Actress in a Drama Series, Robin Wright. Netflix is going to really take over this year with high marks for both "Orange is the New Black" and "House of Cards." The latter of which earned Robin her nomination. Robin has a very grown up chic covered up sense of style which is why I picked this silver Ralph Lauren Fall 2014 RTW silk gown with an attached silk train for the actress to wear. I think that Robin wears silver stunningly and I have to say that she has the height and presence to carry this gown without it dragging or looking ill fitting on her. A silver box clutch , a pair of silver peep toe pump, and a simple pair of diamond earrings that cluster close to the lobe will ensure that Robin rocks the red carpet at the 2014 Emmys.

Christian Dior Fall 2014 Couture Presentation Wish List

On July 7th the glamouratti will descend upon Paris for Fall 2014 Haute Couture Fashion Week and one of the must see shows with all the the hottest celebrities is bound to be Christian Dior Couture. Surprisingly we have not seen as much Dior on the red carpets so far this year, but then again we are only just under half way done. I am hoping that all the Dior spokesmodels all take to the front row this season and honestly most, not all, have been knocking it out of the park recently. Charlize Theron has been a Dior spokesmodel for the longest being the continuous face of the J'Adore Dior fragrance. Aside from her bland black lace Dior Resort 2015 cocktail dress as the "A Million Ways to Die in the West" LA premiere every outing in Dior that Charlize has given has been a Best Dressed of the Year worthy look. I think that this asymmetrical Christian Dior Resort 2015 cocktail dress that is made up of three contrasting prints. Only few ladies could pull off this look and Charlize is defiantly one of them. A pair of green pumps and a red lip is all I would add to this look to make it front row ready.

Recently, as in all of her Dior looks this year except her Golden Globes dress, Jennifer Lawrence has been knocking it out of the fashion ballpark yet again. I think she and her stylist, whom I believe is still Rachel Zoe, have finally learned that sportier styles are what suits Jennifer the most. With another installment of "The Hunger Games" series premiering this Fall and possibly the search for film festival/awards season starting I am expecting to see that the 23 year old face of "Miss Dior" handbags sitting front row judging possible red carpet ensembles. I would pick this Christian Dior Resort 2015 two tiered dress which features a floral brocade and striped silk. I think that this is the perfect look for JLaw to rock for the front row. A pair of white pumps and one of the handbags that she represents in white would finish off this look perfectly.

Marion Cotillard, once the biggest champion of Christian Dior, has fallen from her queen's throne into dispair. I think that she wants to break free and wear much edgier designs that those that come from the classic house and her attempts at making them edgy have made her fall flat. She needs to be like other spokesmodels and rock the Dior when she wants to be pretty and other brands when she wants to be edgy. This white Christian Dior Spring 2014 Couture mini dress with a white cut out over skirt would be an elegant and pretty choice for Marion to make if she sits front row like she usually does. Marion can be very attached to wearing head to toe runway looks from Dior but in all actuality I can not stand the ugly clodhoppers that Raf Simons paired with this beautiful dress, so for Marion I will keep Christian Dior shoes but recommend that she pick a pair of metallic silver pointed toe cage pumps from the Christian Dior Spring 2014 RTW collection to add an edgy yet ladylike statement to this dress. I really hope Marion starts to wow me again and this look might just help that case.

Earlier this year Michelle Dockery wow'd in a simple Christian Dior sheath dress with the much loved broken glass metallic brocade print at the "Non-Stop" LA Premiere. With such a beautiful look under her belt I would love to see the "Downton Abby" star seated front row amongst the spokesmodels. I would pick this black Christian Dior Fall 2014 RTW sheath dress with an off the shoulder, side lace up, and embroidered details. This is a sporty take on lady like dressing both of which Michelle can pull off. I would finish this look with a red lip and red pumps to ensure that spokesmodels do not outshine Michelle.

2014 Met Ball: Heidi Klum, Jenna Malone, Kate Beckinsale, Lea Seydoux, & Michelle Dockery Wish List

Heidi Klum is always a staple at the Costume Institute Gala and I am excited to see what she will bring to the red carpet come May 5th. I have been seeing that Heidi has been working on her red carpet style trying to bring it in with a new age. I think that this white Versace Fall 2014 RTW gown with a draped cowl neck, gold beaded spaghetti straps, and slash detailing on the skirt would be a perfect look for the supermodel to wear for this red carpet. This is a simple yet sexy and elegant statement that Heidi doesn't make very often. More often than not we see Heidi rock the overtly sexy looks or ones that are much to matronly on the red carpet and this is the perfect blend of the both. A pair of gold strappy Christian Louboutin sandals and some stunning gold Lorraine Schwartz earrings would make this look red carpet ready.

We really got to know Jena Malone towards the end of last year while she took to the promo tour for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.' One of her go to brands is J. Mendel and becoming a red carpet darling as of lately so if she were to take to the red carpet at the 2014 Met Ball I have very little doubt that she will not pick a look from the brand if not have a custom look. This white draped gown with a beaded neckline and loads of cutouts from the J. Mendel Fall 2014 RTW collection is exactly what I can picture Jena wearing. A pair of gold stilettos and a red lip would make this a best dressed worthy look on the red carpet of the 2014 Costume Institute Gala

Kate Beckinsale is one of my favorite stars to see take to the red carpet. I am so excited to see what she will bring to the red carpet at the 2014 Met Ball if she is attending. I love the baby blue tulle Marchesa Fall 2014 RTW gown with silver cap sleeve beading is perfect for this red carpet. Kate knows how to werk this almost mermaid silhouette like no other and I think that this will make for a moment that will go down in the record books. A pair of silver strappy sandals, a silver Edie Parker clutch, and some stunning diamond drop earrings will make for the best possible moment that Kate could bring to this red carpet.

Lea Seydoux is one of the current faces of Miu Miu's Spring 2014 RTW advertising campaign and I am sure that if she takes to the red carpet at the 2014 Met Ball that she will werk either Prada or Miu Miu. While I believe deep down in my soul that Lea will work with Muccia Prada to create a custom look from either one of the labels I have to hold out hope and pick a dress from the runway. This silver Miu Miu Fall 2014 RTW cocktail dress with a blue plastic yoke and bold crystal embellishments would be my choice for Lea. While for the most part we see her take to the big red carpets in custom gowns I think that it would be an awesome change of pace in this short design. It opens up the opportunity for an amazing pair of shoes and lots of details to be added. I would go as far as to go all out with a 1960's inspired look with a beehive, period makeup, and a cute clutch to finish this look off.

And last up for today is Michelle Dockery. The 'Downton Abby' star has not had the year so far that she did last, after all she did rank number four on my Best Dressed of 2013 list. I am hoping that she picks up the pace with the rest of the year and gives me red carpet moments to die for. Having been a regular at the Met Ball since 2012, wearing Ralph Lauren and Burberry, it would not surprise me if she took to the red carpet this year as well. The sad part about her past two appearances is that I was not in love with either of them and I am hoping that this year I will. I picked this Valentino Fall 2014 RTW red peasant gown with a beaded peter pan collar for Michelle to wear to this years event. Michelle rocks this more covered up look really well, a lot better than most other Hollywood starlets. I would just pair this look with the matching runway Valentino red satin pumps and some simple hair to give this look a sophisticated chic feel on this red carpet.

2013 End of the Year Style Awards: Best Dressed of the Year

2013 Emmy Awards: Oustanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series Wish List

Last year a pregnant Claire Danes walked the red carpet at the Emmy Awards in a lemon yellow Lanvin gown and ultimately took home the trophy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her hit Showtime show 'Homeland,' for which she holds the same nomination for this year. I am hoping to see Claire really return to top red carpet form after a few dull moments at the White House Corespondents Dinner and the Met Gala. I think that this strapless Atelier Versace Fall 2013 Couture blue embellished gown would be a perfect choice for the elegant blonde star. Claire's first post baby red carpet look came courtesy of Atelier Versace, and it was a total knockout, so I know that the two make a magic pair. Just a simple pair of black or silver sandals as well as some simple diamonds in her ears and on her wrist and Claire will have another winning look on her hands.

This is only the second time that I have featured Connie Britton on this site. It has only been recently that she has started garnering my attention with looks from Zac Posen, Reem Acra, and Black Halo. The star of 'Nashville' is nominated at the 2013 Emmy Awards for her work on the hit show for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and I am hoping that she really steps up on the red carpet and gives me a look to talk about. I think that this white and black Reem Acra Fall 2013 RTW floral print gown would be perfect for her for this occasion. I still can't believe that this gown hasn't been snatched up, especially on Oscar night, I was sure that some celeb would have grabbed it right off the runway. A blue clutch, black sandals, simple diamonds and a red lip would be how I finish this look off to give an attention grabbing Emmy's look.

'Mad Men' star Elisabeth Moss is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series yet again and I am hoping that she will take this opportunity to give us an amazing red carpet look which is something that we have not seen Lizzy give us in a while. I think that this navy blue Elie Saab Fall 2013 RTW gown would be a perfect but simple look with an embellished top. I think that when in doubt pick an Elie Saab creation is the way to go. There have not been a whole lot of looks in three years that I have loved from Elisabeth, the entire 'Mad Men' cast for that matter. Add a blue Edie Parker clutch, a pair of simple navy pumps, and a statement diamond cuff and Elisabeth will have a look that will look elegant and glamorous on the Emmy Awards red carpet.

Kerry Washington is one of the few that could bring the high fashion factor to the red carpet at the 2013 Emmy Awards and I am hoping that she really does. Having been snubbed for her role as Olivia Pope in the hit NBC television show 'Scandal' at the 2012 Emmy Awards, Kerry is nominated this year for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for the show this year. I am really looking forward to seeing what she will break out for the occasion. I think that this grey Valentino Fall 2013 Couture ankle length gown with black embroidery in the shape of coral. I am hoping to see her really rock this gown as it is something that I could totally see her rocking this for this event. I would finish this look off with a black Edie Parker clutch, a pair of deep berry satin pumps, and some stunning Chopard dazzlers would complete this amazing red carpet ensemble.

Michelle Dockery has been on and off this year with her red carpet choices. I loved her Alexandre Vauthier gown at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards and her Elie Saab gown at the 2013 White House Corespondents Dinner but I was really disappointed with her Louis Vuitton gown at the 2012 Emmy Awards and her Chado Ralph Rucci gown at the 2013 SAG Awards. I am hoping that Lady Mary from the PBS show 'Downton Abby' will wow on the red carpet next month when she takes to the red carpet for the 2013 Emmy Awards where she has garnered a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. I think that this pink Donna Karan Resort 2014 gown would be the perfect choice for her. When a star steps out in a Donna Karan gown on the red carpet they usually just ooze glamour and sophistication which is the formula that Michelle needs to stick to on the red carpet. A gold Kotur clutch and a pair of gold strappy sandals would complete this amazing look for the 2013 Emmy Awards red carpet.

Back before her divorce from Sean Penn, Robin Wright had moments where I loved her look and moments where I hated it. Since then she really hasn't given me anything to get really excited over or to loathe so I am hoping that the actress, who is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for the Netflix original series 'House of Cards.' I am hoping that she is just saving all her best looks for the Emmy Awards and Awards Season in the spring. For the 2013 Emmy Awards I would love to see her wear this simple white Jason Wu Resort 2014 draped goddess gown. A blue Kotur snakeskin minaudiere, a pair of silver sandals, a statement diamond cuff, and a pair of diamond and sapphire earrings would be exactly what I would do to add a little spice to this glamorous ensemble for Robin for the 2013 Emmy Awards.

Back in 2010 Vera Farmiga worked the awards season circuit nominated for her work in 'Up in the Air' and in most cases looked beautiful. Lately I have really been questioning her choices, well actually ever since she went blonde I have not been a fan of hers on the red carpet. I am hoping that wearing a tried and true formula will help me grow to like her look at the 2013 Emmy Awards. L'Wren Scott is a Hollywood favorite among the likes of Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tina Fey, Amy Adams, among MANY others and I am hoping to add Vera to that list this year. This black and gold art deco L'Wren Scott Fall 2013 RTW strapless gown would look absolutely amazing on Vera for this years Emmy Awards where she is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her A&E series 'Bates Motel.' Keep the styling simple with black pumps and a black and gold Jimmy Choo 'Tube' clutch and minimal jewelry and I could potentially love her look at the 2013 Emmy Awards, but we will just have to wait and see.

2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards Wish List: Best Actress in A TV Drama

In Hollywood in the days leading up to the Golden Globe Awards the Prabal Gurung Pre- Fall 2013  collection had several red carpet outings. For the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards I would love to see Claire Danes wow me like she did at the Globes in her red Atelier Versace gown a mere month after giving birth to her son. I think that she would do just that in this stunning sleek white and black gown from the Prabal Pre- Fall collection. Finish the look with an aqua clutch, black sandals, and dazzling diamond jewelry. 

After wowing me at the Emmy Awards in a daring Giambattista Valli couture floral print ball gown, Julinana Margulies really disappointed me at the Golden Globe Awards in a too edgy Armani Prive Fall 2012 Couture gown. I am going to be extremely if this gown gets sent to the depths of the Armani Prive archives as the show for the Spring 2013 Couture collection is Tuesday. Finish this with a silver Jimmy Choo tube clutch, silver Jimmy Choo sandals, and a pair of diamond chandelier earrings and she will rock the red carpet and make me swoon.

Jessica Lange is one woman who definitely knows how to dress her age and I think that this emerald green Tadashi Shoji Fall 2012 RTW gown would be perfect for the 'American Horror Story' star who is nominated for her work in the series. I although would make sure that the dress is not too low cut. Finish the look with gold accessories and I could not be made a happier man.

Michelle Dockery gave me my first wow moment for her at the Golden Globe Awards wearing a white and gold custom Alexandre Vauthier Couture gown and I am hoping she keeps her fashion ball rolling for the SAG Awards. The Actress who is nominated for her work in 'Downton Abby' has a relationship with designer Ralph Lauren so I decided to put her in this 1920's inspired Ralph Lauren Spring 2013 RTW gown. I think that this gown would look stunning on Michelle who definitely should stick to these period inspired looks because she always looks so amazing in them. Finish this look with a black and red beaded clutch, black sandals, and simple jewelry.

2013 Golden Globe Awards Wish List: Best Actress in a TV Drama

When I chose this Nina Ricci Spring 2013 RTW dress for Claire Danes she was still pregnant and I was not sure when she was due to give birth, but she has recently given birth to a baby boy. Many will look at this wish and not understand why I am wishing for her to wear a short gown. Well I am actually wishing for Claire to wear a modified version of this dress to have it turned into a gown. I think that this blue dress from Nina Ricci would make a stunning gown and is totally something that Claire would wear in either version. Pair this gown with a blue clutch and a pair of blue peep toe pumps a small diamond earring and a collection of small diamond bracelets and this look is complete

Glenn Close has worn some things that I loved and some things that I have hated. I think that I would love her in this red and black Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2013 gown. Glenn frequents wearing Zac Posen designs on the red carpet for major awards shows, she wore his gowns for the 2012 SAG and Academy Awards. I love this dress and she would be the first person to grace the red carpet in one of the designs from this collection if she was to choose this gown. A black clutch, black peep toe pumps, and some diamond accessories to finish off the look would make her sophisticated and stunning

Julianne Marguilies has started stepping out of her comfort zone of Narciso Rodriguez and L'Wren Scott designs on the red carpet, especially at the 2012 Emmy Awards where she donned a daring and risky Giambattista Valli couture floral print ball gown. Well for this event I would love to see Julianna wear this black and nude Donna Karan Resort 2013 gown. I have been dying to see this gown walk the red carpet since it was first presented in May of last year and I think that Julianna is the perfect match for this gown. Just some statement gold earrings and a pair of black peep toe pumps and she will wow the fashion world.

Michelle Dockery has yet to wow me n the red carpet after two major flops at the Met Ball wearing Ralph Lauren and the Emmy Awards wearing a custom Louis Vuitton I am hoping that the 'Downton Abby' star will finally wow me. I think that this watercolor blue print Giorgio Armani Spring 2013 RTW dress transformed into a gown would be just what she needs to wow me. Finish the look with a silver Edie Parker confetti clutch, silver Christian Loubouitn sandals, and some amazing diamond statement earrings and this looks is complete and will no doubt garner her some positive red carpet attention.
