Runway Report: Monique Lhuillier Fall 2016 RTW

Monique Lhuillier was exactly what I needed when I was starting to get fatigued of New York Fashion Week and a lot of blah collections. I can always count on Monique to shake things up and make a most beautiful collection that makes me swoon and this was no exception. The Fall 2016 collection is an artistic expression of an eccentric woman that is cool, relaxed, and rock ‘n’ roll. The Monique Lhuillier woman mixes unexpected combinations and experiments with rich textures for over-the-top elegance. At the start of the collection there were a lot of layered looks which mixed different styles and textures. The show opened with a soft lace gown worn under a light brown wool fur collared coat just starting to show off the mixing of textures. Another look paired a crystal lattice jacket over a sheer black end yellow embroidered blouse paired with black satin striped cropped pants mixed high glam with rock 'n' roll edge. Monique also did not disappoint on the gown front displaying a myriad of different styles. My favorite look was a watermelon pink tiered tulle strapless ball gown which features blue embroidered flowered on the bustier cascading down onto the skirt which I would love see someone like Daisy Ridley, Lupita Nyong'o, or Emmy Rossum wearing on the red carpet. Other beautiful ladies I can picture wearing this amazing collection include Cheryl Cole, Hailee Steinfeld, Viola Davis, Allison Williams, Kate Beckinsale, Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Diane Kruger, Amber Heard, Florence Welch, Cate Blanchett, Naomi Watts, Olivia Palermo, Kerry Washington, Kate Hudson, Miranda Kerr, Camilla Belle, Jessica Chastain, and Olivia Wilde. Check out all the looks from the collection in the gallery bellow.

2016 Critics Choice Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 1

The Golden Globes are officially over, now it is time to move on to the next awards show of the season, the Critics Choice Awards. The 2016 Critics Choice Awards are on Sunday night and it is looking like it is going to be celebrity packed. This year the critics are combining the movie and television awards into one ceremony and with the star power I am excited to see which stars will show up. Alicia showed up to the Golden Globe Awards in a beautiful white sequined Louis Vuitton gown, proving that she continues to be the best brand ambassador for the brand, and I am quite intriguer to see what she will wear for the Critics Choice Awards this weekend. I love that Alicia has had many looks this red carpet season so far and yet only two have come from LV and I expect that she won't wear LV exclusively the whole season. For the Critics Choice Awards I would love to see Alicia wear this coral, red, purple, and black Alexis Mabille Pre-Fall 2016 Pre-Fall 2016 lace gown. There is a lot going on in this gown and it would take someone with a relaxed sophistication to make this work on a red carpet and I think that Alicia has exactly that type of look. The styling for this look should be kept extremely simple with just a chic updo, small diamond drop earrings, and a pair of black sandals finishing the look.
Brie Larson has been the breakout star this awards season. I knew Alicia would wow me but Brie had never really garnered any attention from me in the past, until the start of this year. Her golden Calvin Klein moment at the Golden Globes was one for her record books and I hope to continue to see her grow as a red carpet star. For the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday I would love to see Brie wearing this red Monique Lhuillier Spring 2016 RTW strapless peplum blouse and coral floral embroidered skirt. I think Brie would look incredibly chic wearing this gown on the red carpet but I am more feeling like she would show up wearing a custom gown by Michael Kors, Lanvin, Marc Jacobs, or J. Mendel. If she were to wear this gown I would pair it with a red and gold Roger Vivier clutch, like the one Emmy Rossum carried at the Golden Globe Awards, a pair of gold pump, hair worn up, and a pink lip to keep the elegant nature of the gown going.
I got really excited at the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala when Cate Blanchett stepped out in an amazing custom Marc Jacobs gown because I thought that the red carpet queen was back, but then her pale pink fringed Givenchy Couture gown at the Golden Globe Awards happened. I have been on this roller coaster with Cate and I really want to see her back on top form. For the Critics Choice Awards I would love to see Cate wearing this roman armor inspired Valentino Fall 2015 Couture gold gown which features touches of red and black. Not many could make such a gown work off the red carpet and not have it come across looking like a costume, but I know that Cate has it inside her to make this look like she is a fierce warrior goddess. Finished with a sleek gold clutch, a pair of gold sandals, a sleek hairstyle and a red lip and this look could be a personal best for Cate.
Charlize Theron has not been on the red carpet at any of the awards events where her film Mad Max: Fury Road has been honored but I am hoping that Sunday at the Critics Choice Awards, where she is nominated for Best Actress and Best Actress in an Action Movie, that she will finally step out. As a Dior lady I am sure that Charlize will step out wearing the brand and I am hoping for a beautiful moment. I think that this yellow patterned Christian Dior Fall 2015 Couture column gown with a daring plunge would be perfect for this red carpet on Charlize. I love that this gown perfectly mashes together bohemian glamour and haute couture, which I think Charlize would look so effortlessly chic in. Loose waves, sun kissed makeup, a yellow Roger Vivier clutch, and a pair of gold sandals would finish this look off perfectly to ensure that Charlize just glows on the red carpet.
I am really hoping that Emily Blunt, who is nominated for Best Actress in an Action Movie, will be on the red carpet Sunday night at the Critics Choice Awards. Emily Blunt is one of my favorite ladies to see on the red carpet because she always has this very chic glamour and I am really hoping she will be bringing it to the red carpet. I picked this chic pale pin and gold embroidered Elie Saab Fall 2015 Couture ethereal gown for Emily because it has been a long time since she has had an ethereal moment and this gown is perfect for this red carpet. A chic romantic updo, a pink lip, a gold clutch, and gold sandals would just add the perfect finishing touches to this look.

2016 Golden Globe Awards: Roundup Red Carpet Wish List

Since tomorrow are the Golden Globe Awards are tomorrow night I am starting to get really excited. It was announced last night that the beautiful Kate Bosworth will be one of the presenters tomorrow and I can't even begin to explain how excited I am to see what she is going to wear on her first Golden Globes red carpet. I have decided to pick a beautiful vintage inspired moment with this icy blue Nina Ricci Pre-Fall 2016 satin a-line ball gown which reminds me of something that Grace Kelly would have worn in her hay-day. Kate has a vintage glamour about her and I know that she would add all of the perfect touches to make this a totally classic glam look. A pair of diamond cluster earrings, a Grace Kelly inspired up-so, a pink lip, a diamond necklace, a silver clutch, and a pair of silver Christian Louboutin pumps would be the way to win my heart with this look.
 Katy Perry is going to be one of the presenters tomorrow night at the Golden Globe Awards and she might be one that I have the least amount of interest in seeing. I have no idea why she is going to be there. She is not in any of the nominated film or television shows or is not part of any of the nominated songs. Anyway Katy hasn't given me a look to love in a very long time so I am not holding out hope that it will be any different tomorrow. I would however be pleasantly pleased if Katy wore this emerald green Alexis Mabille Fall 2015 Couture corseted gown which features a beaded crisscross sweetheart neckline which then drapes into a beautiful cowel down the back. I would keep the air of Dita Von Teese (who modeled the gown for the lookbook) and go with retro glam hair, a red lip, and a pair of gold pumps to keep this look perfect for a Hollywood red carpet.
 Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is one of my favorite ladies to see on the red carpet and I am hoping that since her partner Jason Statham is going to be presenting tomorrow night. Rosie has a feminine model meets Hollywood style which makes for her being able to hang with the Hollywood crowd and the fashion crowd. I picked this Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2016 RTW lavender and black strapless evening gown because it is chic and elegant but also very modern. I don't think that Rosie has ever worn Bibhu before but what better platform to try it out than the Golden Globe Awards red carpet. The perfect finishing touches to this look would be old Hollywood waves, a pink lip, a black Edie Parker clutch, and a pair of black sandals. This look would make for a perfect plus one look.
Sophia Bush usually nails her ultra feminine red carpet looks so I am intrigued to see what the Chicago P.D. star is going to wear on the red carpet tomorrow night at the Golden Globe Awards where she is going to be a presenter. My favorite looks from Sophia are usually the looks where she is paired up with Monique Lhuillier, so I picked this red silk faille draped peplum bodice and coral floral embroidered column skirt from the Monique Lhuillier Spring 2016 RTW collection for her to wear for the Golden Globe Awards red carpet. I have been waiting to see this gown on the red carpet and I think that we are very likely to see it on the Globes red carpet and I think that Sophia is a great choice to wear it. Finished with a red clutch, a pair of red sandals, a chic updo, diamond drop earrings, and dewy makeup this look would be finished off perfectly for this red carpet.

2016 Golden Globe Awards: Best Performance by an Supporting Actress on Television Nominees Wish List

The final season of Downton Abby premiered this past weekend which marks a sad turn of events. I am interested to see who from the cast will be out on the red carpet on Sunday at the Golden Globe Awards. One ladies who I am sure that we will see is Joanne Froggatt who is nominated for her work on the show. I have never really found Joanne to be that intriguing on the red carpet, there is usually something that is off about her look. I am hoping that when she steps out on Sunday that she will deliver her best red carpet moment yet. I believe that this floral Monique Lhuillier Resort 2016 ensemble which features a sleeveless fringe embellished blouse and an a-line ball skirt would be a very beautiful option for Joanne to wear on this red carpet. Finished with a gold clutch, a pair of gold pumps, a chic romantic updo, and a pink lip and this look will be one for Joanne's record books.
I put Judith Light right up there with Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren with women who are considered "old" by Hollywood standards who defy what they are expected to wear and continue to make bold red carpet choices. I am quite looking forward to seeing what the Transparent actress will be rocking on the red carpet on Sunday night at the Golden Globe Awards. I think that this black Marchesa Pre-Fall 2016 draped gown with its sheer emerald beaded tulle sleeves and waist line would be an absolutely amazing red carpet moment on Judith. I think that this gown would look phenomenal on Judith, who has been loving pants on the red carpet recently. I would pair this look with emerald green Christian Louboutin satin peep toe pumps, an emerald and black Edie Parker clutch, hair worn up to accentuate the details at the neck, and a red lip to keep the look of elegance and glamour going.
Of all the Supporting Actress on TV nominees I am most likely to dislike what Regina King wears on the red carpet the most. I have usually found that Regina doesn't dress to fit her very athletic body type. The dress that she wore to the Emmy Awards (pictured left) looked more like a couture lampshade on her than a fabulous red carpet dress. If she want's so badly to look feminine on the red carpet I think that Regina just pick something like this raspberry red Georges Hobeika Spring 2016 RTW sleeveless floral embellished sheath dress. I think that the silhouette of this gown would look elegant on Regina who doesn't show her curves very often. I would finish this with a sleek hairstyle, a pink lip, a matching clutch, and a pair of silver sandals to get Regina on the right track.
Uzo Aduba is one of my slowly rising fashion stars. I love watching Uzo step out on the red carpet because she jetted to stardom overnight and she has been handling the red carpets like she has been on them all her life. On Sunday I would love to see Uzo wearing this hot pink Christian Siriano Pre-Fall 2015 mermaid gown with its thigh high slit and beautiful portrait neckline. Uzo has great curves and this gown would show them off in a way that she has never done before on the red carpet A pair of black sandals, a silver clutch, and a pair of dazzling diamond drop earrings would ensure that this red carpet moment is done perfectly.

2016 Golden Globe Awards: Best Performance by an Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Nominees Wish List

I have had some people in my past say that I don't get excited for the women over 40 as much as I do for the young starlets. While I can say that I usually find women over 40 have found their style and usually stick to it, tried and true, there are quite a few of the older women in Hollywood that I just wait with bated breath to see on the red carpet. Two of them are featured in this post and of the other two I don't know much about her style and the other knows how to throw impact mixed with her tried and true. At 70, Helen Mirren still knows how to work it. I am hoping thought that come the 2016 Golden Globe Awards next Sunday that Helen doesn't stick to her love of all things Dolce & Gabbana. I have seen her wearing enough of those lace cocktail and evening dresses to last me a lifetime. I picked this indigo micro pleated J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2016 which features lace sleeves and a lace back. I think that this look personifies sophisticated sexy and that is what Helen loves to bring to the red carpet. While I do think that Helen should have just an inch or two of the plunging neckline raised, I still think that she could rock this look better than some of her 20 something counterparts. Finished with a pair of black Ferragamo satin peep toe pumps and diamond cluster earrings this would be a major moment, of something different, for Helen on this red carpet.
Name one other celebrity who at almost 80 still rocks the red carpet in amazing high label designer creations that are borrowed or custom made for her from the likes of Cavalli, Versace, Valentino, Balmain, and Saint Laurent. I can't think of anyone other than the beautiful and sexy Jane Fonda, who at 78 shows women more than half her age how its truly done. While I was not a fan of the looks that she wore while promoting her film Youth, which earned her a nomination, I am still excited to see what Jane is going to bring to the red carpet. There were many options that I could have gone with as the first look I would love to see Jane wearing, and I love when sexy Jane comes out to play, but ultimately I went with this metallic copper Ralph & Russo Fall 2015 Couture long sleeve gown which features an embellished lace blouse and a pleated skirt. This gown offers elegance and a refined sophisticated chic that I know Jane could pull off. Styled with a copper Roger Vivier clutch and a pair of copper peep toe pumps this look would be perfect for the Golden Globes red carpet.
It is The Hateful Eight's Jennifer Jason Leigh that I am interested to see in what direction she takes her red carpet dressing. I am not so sure about how she will go because I haven't seen much of her on the red carpets, I didn't even see her at the films premiere. I know that she ill probably pick a refined moment for this red carpet as we haven't seen her in a gown yet, but with all the heavy hitters that she is nominated with she is going to have to learn how to step up her game. I picked this azure blue and white Monique Lhuillier Spring 2016 RTW guipure lace bodice and crepe skirt for Jennifer to wear on the Globes red carpet. I honestly just picked a chic run of the mill dress for Jennifer because I don't know who she is on the red carpet yet. I would hope that if she wore something like this that she would accessorize with a blue Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver pumps, and a pair of diamond and sapphire earrings and finish out with old Hollywood waves and a red lip to ensure that she has a beautiful moment on the red carpet that will hopefully keep me interested.
Last but not least for the Motion Picture nominees is Kate Winslet who is nominated for her supporting role in the film Steve Jobs. Kate has a tried and true method of red carpet dressing. It is usually black and always fitted from a bevy of her designer friends. I am hoping that next Saturday that Kate takes a little step outside of her box and wears this intricately beaded Jenny Packham Spring 2016 RTW cap sleeve gown. Kate is not usually one to go for something that is so busy but I think that in a favored silhouette and brand of hers (she has worn similar shaped Jenny Packham gowns before) that she should take the risk. I think that by making such an embellished statement is something that Kate really would shine wearing. A chic faux bob, a red lip, a black clutch, a pair of black pumps, & a pair of diamond cluster earrings would all add the perfect punctuation to this look.

2016 People's Choice Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 2

At the People's Choice Awards next Wednesday I am interested to see what Dakota Johnson will wear on the red carpet as she is nominated for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress thanks to 50 Shades of Grey and she is also going to be presenting. People's Choice is a more casual version of an awards show so I think that this black Michael Kors Spring 2016 RTW shirt dress embellished with neck ribbons and grommets on the tiered skirt. This is a casual meets cocktail type of look and with the right styling I think that this dress would be perfect on Dakota for the People's Choice Awards red carpet. Keeping the runways belt and adding a pair of strappy sandals, a slicked back bun, and a red lip would ensure that Dakota keeps up the love I have of her on the People's Choice red carpet.
After nabbing the number 2 spot on my Best Dressed of the Year list it would seem that Emmy Rossum has a lot to live up to in 2016 and I know that she can handle the pressure. I am hoping that the actress, who thanks to her show Shameless, is nominated for the Favorite Premium Cable TV Actress will take to the red carpet at the 2016 People's Choice Awards. To keep up her flirty feminine style what better look to choose than this Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall marigold and blush 3D guipure lace sleeveless dress. The moment I saw this dress in the lookbook I put it on reserve for Emmy so I really hope that she works her magic and gets her hands on this fantastic flirty dress. While I appreciate that Monique was trying to make this look more modern with the ankle boots, I would pair this look with a chic pair of simple gold sandals, a pink lip, and a gold metallic clutch to finish this look off perfectly for Emmy.
Like Dakota, Jennifer Lopez is nominated for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress at the People's Choice Awards next Wednesday. We all know JLo has a flair for the dramatic and the sexy and this Naeem Khan Spring 2016 RTW gunmetal grey beaded chiffon halter jumpsuit is exactly what she would wear for an event like this. I know many are looking for something new from Jennifer but I know that when she does what she knows best, at it's best, that she truly shines on the red carpet. I would have Jennifer wear hear hair sleek with this jumpsuit adding minimal accessories like a pair of metallic gunmetal grey Jimmy Choo sandals and a red lip to ensure that this is JLo at her best and nothing less.
Julianne Hough has been on a lot of red carpets recently and I do not know why, at the People's Choice Awards she will be attending as a presenter with her Grease: Live co-stars Vanessa Hudgens and Carly Rae Jepsen. I am hoping that the try hardness that came with most of her looks in 2015 will be absent on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards. I picked this black and white floral printed J. Mendel Spring 2016 RTW ensemble that consists of a chiffon micro-pleated blouse and mini skirt. This is the perfect look to help Julianne kick off 2016 in the right way, it is chic and simple and perfectly event appropriate. A pair of silver pumps or sandals and a silver Edie Parker clutch would be the perfect accessories to add to this look with chic simple curls and a pink lip to ensure that Julianne has a magical moment on the red carpet.
Kate Hudson will be on hand at the 2016 People's Choice Awards as a presenter. This news was very exciting to me because Kate had a GREAT year on the red carpet in 2015 and I am excited to see what 2016 will bring to her. I decided to pair Kate with the brand that landed her on the 2015 Best Dressed of the Year list for this red carpet, Versace. I think that since that Kate is a big movie star and not overly showy that this Versace Pre-Fall 2016 black pencil dress with detailed top which has a bit of sky blue in the featured spaghetti straps. This is the chic sexy look that I know Kate has the body and presence for. Finished with a pair of sky blue Jimmy Choo pumps, a black clutch, and a lightly smokey eye will finish this look off perfectly for this red carpet.

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" LA Premiere Wish List

So far Jennifer Lawrence's promo tour for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" promo tour has been lack luster. For the promo tour for the final installment of a blockbuster film franchise JLaw has been really letting me down with her Dior gowns in Berlin and London. I have been wanting to see Jennifer wearing this black sheer chiffon evening gown with the strapless white sequin circle cocktail dress underneath. I think that this gown is sporty and glamorous and a perfect look for Jennifer. I was hoping that the Dior atelier would be turning out amazing custom gowns for JLaw in the post Raf world but I am still waiting for a wow moment. This gown paired with sleek slicked back hair, a bold red lip, and a pair of black sandals would ensure that this is a major moment for Jennifer on the red carpet at the "Mockingjay: Part 2" premiere in LA.
Elizabeth Banks its killing the promo tour for this film and I am excited to see what she is going to wear for the final premiere of the film in Los Angeles. The major Elie Saab Couture moment in Berlin and the modern meets classic pant gown at the London premiere and I am hoping for modern glamour at the LA Premiere. Elizabeth wore wearing Atelier Versace for the first "Hunger Games" premiere in LA and I am hoping that she ends this one wearing Atelier Versace bringing her journey full circle. It has been a hot minute since we have seen Elizabeth in a Versace design and I am really hoping that she rocks one since I don't think anyone, except for maybe Jane Fonda, rocks Versace like Elizabeth. This white sexy Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture fitted halter gown with sheer inserts. A pair of silver Jimmy Choo sandals, a white Edie Parker clutch, a pair of emerald and diamond drop Chopard earrings, and a red lip would ensure that this gown is perfection on the red carpet.
Jena Malone have a major princess moment at the Berlin premiere of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" wearing Reem Acra and was M.I.A. at the films premiere in London. I am hoping that Jena will be back on the red carpet in LA on November 16. I would love to see Jena wear this vermilion orange Prabal Gururng Spring 2016 RTW halter gown which is very 90's and I think that Jena would rock this gown like crazy on the red carpet. Keep the styling simple with a pair of gold sandals, a gold metal box clutch, wavy bob, and some simple makeup so that Jena has a major moment for her last premiere for this series.
Julianne Moore has been slightly off her game while promoting "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" wearing black Jason Wu at the Berlin premiere (which was incredibly chic) and white Alexander McQueen in London. I am hoping that when she steps out in LA that Julianne pulls out all of the stops. This marigold yellow Giambattista Valli Fall 2015 Couture draped cape gown. This is a showstopping moment which is something that Julianne doesn't do while promoting these films but I wish she would as this would be an amazing red carpet moment. Finish the look with the runways strappy sandals, a chic updo, red lip, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings to keep this look from being overworked and Julianne will shine like the movie star that she is.
Broadway star and Tony Award winning actress Patina Miller has rocked a Zac Posen gown or two in her past red carpet appearances and I actually thought of her when this white Zac Posen Spring 2016 RTW flowing trapeze gown came down the runway. I think that this gown is edgy yet incredibly feminine which is one of the things that I expect out of a Zac Posen gown and Patina would rock the hell out of this gown on the red carpet. I would add a white leather waistband to add a little more structure to this gown because I don't think Patina quite has the height to make this gown work without a band and then add a pair of white sandals, old Hollywood waves, a red lip, and a pair of diamond cluster to finish off this look perfectly for this premiere.
Willow Shields wore a Marni gown at "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" premiere in Berlin that was just a little too grown up for the 15 year old actress. For the LA premiere I picked a much more age appropriate dress for her to wear. I think that this sweet light coral Monique Lhuillier Resort 2016 floral embroidered midi length cocktail dress which features a high round neck with a fitted bodice, a full tea skirt, and floral embroidery throughout. This is the age appropriate look that a 15 year old should be wearing on a red carpet. Willow has her whole rest of her life to wear sexy mature gowns, there are only a few years where she can get away with wearing a dress like this. A pair of silver strappy sandals, a silver clutch, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings would be the perfect accessories to finish off this look for the red carpet.

Runway Report: Monique Lhuillier Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

Monique Lhuillier SS16 RTW
Monique Lhuillier continues to outdo herself on the runways of New York Fashion Week. This collection is always a highlight for me. As a budding stylist I always watch Monique to see what celebrities will be wearing for their red carpet appearances. With the Emmy Awards just a week away I am sure that we will be seeing one of these looks on the red carpet. I personally want to see the pool blue strapless peplum top paired with cobalt pants to be worn by someone like January Jones on the Emmy Awards red carpet, but I could bet that won't be the case. Julia Louis-Dreyfus could pick up the gown with the cobalt lace top and white skirt or Julie Bowen could snatch the red peplum topped gown, both are very good possibilities. I honestly don't know what else to say about this collection. I have so much love for this collection that I don't even know what else to say. You will be seeing a lot of this collection on the blog in my wish lists.



See all my favorite looks from Spring/Summer 2016 over on Pinterest.

#NYFF15: "Maggies Plan" Premiere Wish List

"Maggie's Plan" is another film that will be premiering at both the Toronto International Film Festival and the New York Film Festival. I gotta say that I have not been thrilled with what Greta Gerwig has been wearing on the red carpet recently, but I know that she has potential to be amazing on the red carpet. For this premiere I picked this cobalt Monique Lhuillier guipure lace tea length cocktail dress with a deep v-neck with scalloped trim, a wide fitted waistband, and a full skirt. I think that this very ladylike option is perfect for Greta to get her red carpet footing back on the NYFF red carpet. Finished with a pair of gold sandals, a gold clutch, hair worn elegantly up, and a pink lip to ensure that Greta looks perfect on the red carpet.
I am so excited that Julianne Moore is going to be working the festival circuit this year. After killing awards season and the Cannes Film Festival, Julianne is well on her way to taking home my Red Carpet Diva award at the End of the Year Style Awards. For the "Maggie's Plan" premiere at the New York Film Festival I picked this amazing gardenia white Elie Saab Resort 2016 long sleeved beaded and embroidered tulle cocktail dress for the stunning red head to rock on the red carpet. I love to see Julianne in these light ethereal colors. This gown is a blank canvas for accessories so I would pick a bright colored Bulgari serpenti clutch, a pair of gold Givenchy sandals, a red lip, and a loose bun to ensure that Julianne rocks the hell out of the NYFF red carpet.

#Emmys2015: Oustanding Host of a Reality Competition Nominee Wish List

The last set of nominees for the Emmy Awards are the ladies nominated for Outstanding Host of a Reality Competition. "So You Think You Can Dance's" Cat Deeley is always a delight to see on the red carpet and I am excited to see what she will wear to this years Emmy's. I picked this sunflower yellow Monique Lhuillier Fall 2015 RTW silk satin chiffon one shoulder gown with a draped construction in a sheath silhouette with a twisted one shoulder neckline and a cinched waist. I can't believe that New York Fashion Week kicks off this week and this gown still hasn't been snatched up. I believe that the blonde television personality would look extremely elegant in this bright bold gown. Finish the look with a gold clutch, a pair of gold sandals, simple elegant hair & makeup to ensure that Cat really shines on the Emmy's red carpet.
Heidi Klum is one that I either love or hate on the red carpet. I am sure that we will see Heidi Klum wear a Zac Posen gown on the red carpet, since she has worn her "Project Runway" co-star's gowns. I think that Heidi would look very pretty and lady like in this strapless Zac Posen Resort 2015 multi-colored floral jacquard fit and flare gown. We usually expect Heidi to wear something very sexy but I think that this would be a sexy yet feminine look for the former Victoria's Secret model to rock on the red carpet. Style the look with a pair of gold sandals, old Hollywood waves, and fresh faced makeup to ensure that Heidi nails her Emmy's red carpet ensemble.

I will be live tweeting this years Emmy Awards red carpet and telecast with Kelly from Dream In Lace on September 20. I hope you will follow me and Kelly on Twitter and join in on the conversation! I am excited as this is our awards tradition now, so pop your bubbly and join in the fun.

#Emmys2015: Oustanding Actress in a Lead Role in a Comedy Nominee Wish List

The comedy stars rarely hit high notes on the red carpet and I am not expecting much aside from that. Amy Poehler tends to stick to very basic looks on the red carpet and many of her looks are black. I picked this J. Mendel Fall 2015 RTW silk crepe gown which features a plunging neckline, high center split, and gold silk lame inserts for Amy to wear for the last Emmy Awards where she will be nominated for "Parks & Recreation." Some people are predicting that Amy will walk away from this years ceremony with her first trophy for her last performance in the show, so Amy needs to make sure that she is on point. Finished with black peep toe pumps and a gold clutch and this look will be perfectly on point for the Emmy Awards red carpet.
Amy Schumer showed off her burgeoning red carpet chops as she promoted her latest film "Trainwreck." I am interested to see what she will wear on the red carpet for the Emmy Awards. This will mark the first time that the funny lady will be on the red carpet at the Primetime Emmy Awards so I wonder if she will go big or go home, or will she stick to a simple look. Amy's red carpet MO is usually short and tight, not the standard of dress for the Emmy Awards. I think that this red one shouldered Badgley Mischka Fall 2015 RTW flowing silk gown is a perfect red carpet ensemble for her first Emmy's red carpet. I am having a battle with myself over whether or not that Amy should wear the gold bejeweled belt but I also think that disrupting a fluid silhouette would section Amy off and that just wouldn't be a good look. A gold clutch, a pair of gold sandals, and a chic bun would finish this look off perfectly for Amy's first Emmy Awards red carpet.
"VEEP" star Julia Louis-Dreyfus is Amy's only real competition to take the Emmy Award home and set a major upset. Julia tends to stick to black on the red carpet and I think that she would be instantaneously drawn to this black Monique Lhuillier Resort 2016 with a high round racer shape neckline and an exposed back, a bead embroidered necklace that extends to the straps at the back, and a floor length fit and flare silhouette. Julia knows how to make these types of looks look anything but basic and I am sure that would be the case again. Styled with simple hair and makeup, a black clutch and black sandals and this simple look would be finished perfectly for the Emmy Awards red carpet.

I will be live tweeting this years Emmy Awards red carpet and telecast with Kelly from Dream In Lace on September 20. I hope you will follow me and Kelly on Twitter and join in on the conversation! I am excited as this is our awards tradition now, so pop your bubbly and join in the fun.

#TIFF2015: "Into the Forest," "Ville-Marie," & "Endorphine" Premieres Wish List

We haven't seen much of Evan Rachel Wood on the red carpet recently and I am hoping that when "Into the Forest" premieres at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival next month that she rocks the red carpet. I am not going to pull Evan from her comfort zone of black gowns, because she works them so well, but this Elie Saab Resort 2016 gown which features a halter neckline with linear embroidered beading on the bodice and an a-line silk crepe georgette skirt would look so elegantly sexy on Evan. The gown is covered up but the sheerness of the embroidered bodice, the open back and the thigh high slit add just enough sex appeal to make this a drop dead look for a TIFF Premiere. I would finish the look with a pair of black Gucci sandals, a black and gold Edie Parker clutch, a red lip, and a vintage inspired hairstyle to ensure that Evan kills this red carpet premiere.
Monica Bellucci is usually a bit of a snooze for me on the red carpet. The Italian model turned actress is forever loyal to Dolce & Gabbana tends to look the same on every red carpet. I am not expecting much from her at the TIFF premiere of "Ville-Marie" but I think that this red Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2015 Alta-Moda off the shoulder sheath dress would be slightly different from the completely covered looks that we are used to seeing on Monica. Now with that being said, if Monica wants to wear her favored sheer black pantyhose with this dress and clodhopper black pumps she should just stick with what she knows best. This look calls for a pair of red pumps (preferably the runway shoes), a red clutch (not 100% necissary), a pair of gold drop earrings and a red lip to ensure that this is something sexy yet refined for Monica on the TIFF red carpet.
We were first introduced to 15 year old actress Sophie Nelisse last year when she burst onto the scene with the film "The Book Thief." We are going to see Sophie present her latest film "Endorphine" at the Toronto International Film Festival. I am excited to see what she will wear because in a time where young actresses are ready to look so mature so quick I am hoping that Sophie will look sweet and age appropriate. I picked this floral embroidered Monique Lhuillier Resort 2016 high low gown with an illusion neckline. I think that this is a perfect look for a 15 year old girl to wear for a movie premiere red carpet during TIFF. A pair of yellow sandals, a pink lip, and some simple earrings would finish this look off perfectly ensuring that Sophie has a look that is event and age approriate.

Be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook during the 2015 Venice Film Festival, which runs from September 2 to September 12, to keep on top of all the looks that come down the red carpet.

#Cannes2015: amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala Red Carpet Wish List Part 2

Emily Blunt sizzled at the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala during the 2010 Cannes Film Festival wearing a red hot Georges Chakra dress. It was one of Emily's best and most memorable looks. Since then Emily has not attended another amfAR gala but I am hoping that since her film "Sicario" is premiering just two days before this years festival that Emily will stick around and walk the amfAR red carpet as well. I think that for this event that Emily would look amazing wearing this sherbert orange Jenny Packham Fall 2015 RTW gown which features a deep plunge, rouched waist, and flowing skirt. This gown perfectly embodies the light air of Cannes. Finished with a simple pair of gold sandals, a gold clutch, simple earrings, swept back hair, and a pink lip and Emily would kill the red carpet at the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala come Thursday evening.
Fan Bingbing did her L'Oreal brand ambassador duties on the first two days being crowned Best Dressed of the first day in Ralph & Russo Couture and then slightly waning in Marchesa on Thursday. If the stunning Chinese actress does stay in Cannes for the amfAR Gala then I would love to see Fan wear this black Elie Saab Pre-Fall 2015 sleeveless ball gown that features a tulle construction with beaded embroidery throughout the bodice. It has been a hot minute since Fan has had a memorable Elie Saab moment and I think that this has the potential to be her next memorable moment. Finish the look with a Louis Vuitton clutch, a pair of black pumps, a pair of Chopard diamond & emerald cluster earrings, a sleek bun, and a red lip and this look is finished to perfection.
Heidi Klum almost always attends the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala and almost always she shows up in a creation by Marchesa. I would go for this simple Marchesa Fall 2015 RTW halter gown with a deep plunge and feather detail at the waist. This gown is chic, elegant, with a hint of sexy for Heidi. With the theme of this years big fashion show being black and white I am sure that we are bound to see a lot of black and white gowns on the red carpet. Black Christian Louboutin sandals, a pair of statement diamond earrings, a red lip, and old Hollywood waves would ensure that Heidi lives up to her red carpet potential at the amfAR gala.
Last but not least for todays wishes is for the always stunning Jane Fonda. At the age of 77 Jane still gives some amazingly sexy red carpet moments. With her film "Youth" premiering the night before I am praying that Jane will attend the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala. I would love to see Jane wear this copper Monique Lhuillier Fall 2015 RTW long sleeve gown that features a sheath silhouette with burnout silk velvet construction in a floral motif, an illusion bodice, and an exposed back. The sexy cutouts can be modified to be covered with illusion netting but I think that Jane would shut the red carpet down in this gown. Finish the look with a bronze Raowulf clutch, a pair of bronze peep toe pumps, a pair of simple earrings, and a red lip and Jane will for sure be one of the best dressed.
