#NYFF15: "Steve Jobs" Premiere Wish List

Kate Winslet is never one of my favorites on the red carpet, as she is usually very predictable and basic. I am not reaching for the stars in predicting that Kate should wear this black and white Narciso Rodriguez sleeveless below the knee fitted dress. This gown checks all of Kate's boxes: monochromatic, hourglass fitted, knee length, & by one of her go to designers. I think that the slight print on this dress is the only thing that isn't very Kate about this look. Finished with black sandals, a black clutch, a sleek updo, and a red lip and Kate will definitely have a wonderful red carpet look.

2015 Venice Film Festival: "The Wait" Premiere Wish List

Juliette Binoche has been on a roll this year with her red carpet looks. I have to say that I am actually really excited to see what the actress will bring to the 2015 Venice Film Festival as she promotes her latest film "The Wait." For the films photocall I would pick this head to toe Narciso Rodriguez Resort 2016 khaki shirt style dress and orange pointed toe pumps. This is a chic look perfect for a photocall. Had this been available during Cannes I am sure that someone would have been all over this for the outdoor photocall but alas all the photocalls in Venice are inside. For the premiere I would love to see Juliette go for dramatic elegance and that is exactly what this blue ombre beaded Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture gown that features an off the shoulder neckline and long sleeves is. This is a film festival perfect look that I am honestly shocked to know that Jane Fonda didn't snatch up for Cannes. Finish this look with diamond and sapphire cluster earrings, a pair of blue Ferragamo peep toe satin pumps, and a chic low bun.
I have been wanting to see Diane Kruger wear this Giambattista Valli Fall 2014 Couture white strapless chiffon gown with purple floral detail since it was presented last July but I am afraid that she is steering clear of this gown because of the similarities it shares with the Nina Ricci gown that she wore to the Cannes Film Festival premiere of "Killing Them Softly." That was such a moment for Diane that I can only imagine that this gown would be compared to that look. This would be an elegant yet still dramatic offering from Diane on the Venice Film Festival red carpet. Finished with a chic updo, a pair of silver sandals, and diamond cluster earrings and Diane will ensure that she has yet another breathtaking red carpet moment.
Elizabeth Banks hasn't worn an Armani Prive gown since the dramatic red gown that she wore to the 2009 Cannes Film Festival premiere of "Up" and I think that the 2015 Venice Film Festival will see that streak end. Armani is one brand that we see a lot of on the Venice red carpet and I could see Elizabeth rocking many of the looks that the designer has presented recently. I picked this strapless ballgown from the Armani Prive Fall 2015 Couture collection because I can picture Elizabeth making this avant garde look seem effortless. I love the mix of colors so that I couldn't even identify what I would call the base color of this gown, it's almost iridescent. Hair pulled back, a light pink lip, simple earrings, a black Edie Parker clutch, and a pair of black sandals would be the simply styling that is needed to ensure that this gown is in the spotlight on the red carpet.

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.

2014 Peoples Choice Awards Wish List Part 1

Amy Adams is nominated for Favorite Dramatic Movie actress at the 2014 Peoples Choice Awards. The very first awards show of the year slated for January 8th, we then go into several back to back to back. The PCA Awards are a much more casual awards show than say the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, or Critics Choice Awards; a nice night for all types of members of Hollywood to let their hair down and be honored by their fans. For this event I would love to see Amy wear this amazing Roksanda Illincic Spring 2014 RTW one shoulder cocktail dress that has every single bold color I love to see her in orange, yellow, purple, and white; all color blocked into a stunning ensemble. Finish the look with a purple Rauwolf clutch and a pair of gold Jimmy Choo strappy sandals. Hair styled into glamorous Veronica Lake waves over one shoulder and simple neutral make-up would just be the icing on top of this absolutely amazing ensemble.
Demi Lovato is nominated for 4 Peoples Choice Awards, including Favorite Music Fan Following, Favorite Female Artist, Favorite Pop Artist, and Favorite Music Video (for Heart Attack) and I am hoping that she will bring it to the red carpet. Back in 2012 Demi really went above and beyond what is expected of a PCA red carpet look in a stunning peach Marchesa gown but I am hoping that this year she will go for something a little more event appropriate. This Saint Laurent Spring 2014 RTW ensemble, that includes a green mini dress and a gold sequin slouchy bolero, is an absolutely amazing look that is perfect for Demi at the Peoples Choice Awards. A pair of gold platform pumps, a red lip and tussled curls (in her natural color which is back not that god awful blue she was trying to rock for a while) thrown over one shoulder and she will have a perfect look on her hands.
Emma Stone is nominated for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress at the 2014 Peoples Choice Awards and I have to say that I am praying that she takes to the red carpet because she has been missing from it for far to long. I think that this ruby red Elie Saab Spring 2014 RTW embellished mini dress would be a perfect look for Emma to wear for this event. This dress is sexy yet young and sophisticated all wrapped into one look. This is why I love Elie Saab, because he can literally dress anyone from someone in her teens to a sophisticated dame in her 70's. Complete the look with a red Edie Parker clutch and a pair of red Christian Louboutin sandals to ensure that I will die in love with this look.
2013 Peoples Choice Award Favorite Comedic Movie Actress nominee Emma Watson has been all over in how I think she looks on the red carpet in the past year and I am hoping that at this event that she will redeem herself. This black and silver Narciso Rodriguez Spring 2014 RTW mini dress would be a great look for Emma. This modern take on an LBD is a exactly the look that I want to see take to the Peoples Choice Awards red carpet. With a pair of black strappy sandals and a black embellished clutch and Emma will give me an amazing red carpet ensemble.

2013 Cannes Film Festival: Photocall Wish List 2

Emma Watson's newest film which totally sheds her Hermione Granger image entitled 'The Bling Ring' opens the Un Certain Regard competition during this years Cannes Film Festival. The premiere and photocall for this film will take place on May 16th and for the mornings festivities of photocall and press conference I have an amazing design in mind for Emma. For her past several red carpet outings Emma has chosen cocktail dresses with bold mixed patterns and structurally unique features. I am only wishing that Emma stick to the structurally unique features via is grey black and teal Antonio Berardi Fall 2013 RTW color blocked dress. This is a fun youthful look perfect for Emma's first ever step onto the stage at Cannes.
Also going to be in attendance to promote 'The Bling Ring' with Emma Watson is co-star Kirsten Dunst. I have a love/hate relationship with Kirsten's style and I am hoping that she wow's me after letting me down last year at the 'On The Road' photocall and premiere. For the photocall for 'The Bling Ring' I would have Kirsten be a drop of sunshine via this bold Narciso Rodriguez Fall 2013 RTW sheath dress that would hug her curves perfectly. Complete this look with a pair of bronze Jimmy Choo platform sandals and wavy hair and Kristen will be on my good side to stat this premiere off. I am saying a little prayer to the fashion gods.
And fianlly for today we have Marion Cotillard. Marion is no stranger to the Cannes Film Festival having presented her film 'Rust & Bone' there last year. The Christian Dior spokeswoman will, much like Carey Mulligan, be presenting two films during the festival. The one that I am wishing for her to wear this stunning Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture sequin embellished dress for its photocall is 'The Immigrant.' As the Dior spokeswoman Marion is expected to wear the brand several times over her stay at the festival. I think that this dress, lined of course, would be an elegant girly moment for Marion, who is one of the few that can get a couture dress for a photocall. Complete the look with Christian Louboutin 'Pivichic' black pumps and old Hollywood waves and she is set to stun.

Michelle Obamas 2012 Campaign Trail Look Wish Lists

Also just under a month away on September 3rd the Democratic National Convention kicks off the 2012 Election campaign trail in Charlotte North Carolina. I am 100% positive that Michelle Obama will be at her husbands side as he campaigns across the United States to earn re-election for four more years in office. Michelle not only campaigns with her husband but she spends a good amount of time out campaigning for him on her own. A great look for one of these appearances is this stunning blue, white, and silver Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2012 top and skirt. I love when the First Lady wears stunning blue colors and think that this look would be a classic and elegant yet fashion forward choice. I would remove the scarf like detail because it would overwhelm Michelle and add a thin red belt to replace the thin black one that is on the model to show patriotism yet still be fashion forward.  Only thing left to add would be a pair of simple blue pumps to complete the perfect first lady look.
The next look I would love to see Michelle don while she is out on the campaign trail is this navy Donna Karan Pre-Fall 2012 wrap style dress with an accented black bow in the hip. I think that this gown would enhance Michelle's curves and showcase her stunning arms quite well. Michelle much like Donna did whilst styling the collection will most likely pair this dress with a chunky statement necklace but I would hope she would change her shoe choice to be a matching navy or black peep toe pump instead.
This Lela Rose Fall 2012 black and silver abstract stripe printed top paired with black pants would be perfect for an appearance in a city that is colder as this ensemble could handle a number of different color coats to add a bright pop in the dreary cold and still look fab if she was to take the coat off. I would pair this amazing ensemble with a bright fuchsia long single breasted wool trench coat, a pair of black closed toe patent leather pumps and if its really cold a pair of tight black leather gloves to shun the cold and look extremely fabulous.
One designer that I NEVER thought that I would ever see Michelle Obama wear the avant garde high fashion designer Marc Jacobs but in fact the First Lady is a HUGE fan of the designer and has worn his designs many of times for appearances. I think that for the beginning of the campaign headed into early fall that this orange and yellow Marc Jacobs Resort 2013 lace print sheath dress would be a great option. It has fall coloring but in a very elegant avant garde way and I think that Michelle would look amazing with her toffee colored complexion. I would just keep a pair of simple nude pumps to complete her look.
In 2008 Michelle Obama wore a black and red Narciso Rodriguez on the deck of President Obama's victory platform on election night in Chicago and since she has continued to wear the designer many of times. I think that this camel, fuchsia, red, white, and black color blocked dress would be an absolutely amazing option for her to don for an appearance during the election. I think that the first lady who shows that she is definitely not afraid of color would look amazing wearing this dress and I would love for her to pair this with a pair of fuchsia heels, preferably peep toes by Jimmy Choo.
Last but not least we have this red and blue abstract plaid print Peter Som Pre-Fall 2012 dress that nips in at the waist and flares out at the bottom. This is another patriotic option for the First Lady and would be stunning paired with a red cropped bolero for her appearance Election night if her husband is re-elected. Keep the thin black belt and add a pair of black peep toe pumps and the look will be complete.

2012 ALMA Awards Nominees Wish List

The ALMA Awards celebrates success in Television, Film, and Music. Jennifer Lopez is nominated for her work on American Idol and for her music and I am hoping to see her take a break from her tour for this event and walk the red carpet for this event. Jennifer Lopez has almost exclusively  worn Zuhair Murad for almost all her non-American Idol public appearances this year as well as they exclusively designed all the looks for her tour. So I would not be surprised to see Jenny wear another Zuhair gown for the ALMA Awards. I think that this gold lame Zuhair Murad Resort 2013 gown would be amazing for Jenny. It is not the embellished with crystal, sequins, or feathers look that she tends to grab from them but the gown still shines. Add a pair of gold and black Gucci sandals and a gold clutch and she is red carpet ready.
When it comes to the red carpet Jessica Alba is either a hit or a miss and this year she has really been a hit wearing amazing looks by Gucci, Chanel, Michael Kors, Lanvin, and Versace. I would like to see Jess keep up the great work by wearing this minimalist red and black color-blocked gown from the Narciso Rodriguez Resort 2013 collection with spaghetti straps and side cutouts. I think that this is something that would look absolutely amazing in this modernist gown. Add a black clutch and a black strappy sandals would complete this amazing simple ensemble.
When Naya Rivera first started making red carpet appearances I couldn't even look at her because her outfits were excruciatingly painful, I mean who can forget the can-can streetwalkers quinceanera gown she wore for the 2010 Emmy Awards with the Charo bun? Well since then Naya has really started to wow on the red carpet wearing much more demure and elegant ensembles. One designer that she has discovered is Naeem Khan, who has dressed the 'Glee' star many times this year. I think that for the 2012 ALMA Awards I would love to see Naya wear this black beaded Naeem Khan Pre-Fall 2012 gown with a draped back. I think that this is just elegant and sophisticated. Add some amazing splashes of color via of some amazing earring and a clutch an some black strappy sandals.
Selena Gomez is wearing a lot of things lately that are making me question what Justin Beiber is doing to her head. I miss the Selena that gave cute but sophisticated looks not hot pants and bandeau tops. She is nominated for her role in the film 'Monte Carlo' and I am hoping that she revisits youthful and cute for this red carpet with this amazing hot pink Valentino Resort 2013 gown. I think that the simplicity and the cut of this dress as well as the color that make this the perfect youthful choice for the star. Add a hot pink clutch and gold strappy sandals and this look is complete.
Sofia Vergara is an amazing red carpet DIVA, well I don't know if I could say DIVA as she really only sticks to a few designers such as Vera Wang, Carolina Herrera, and Marchesa for all her red carpet appearances. Well it has been a while since the sexy voluptuous Colombian actress has worn a gown by Carolina Herrera so I would love to see her wear this dusty purple-ly silver Fall 2012 RTW gown by the designer. I think that the column style of this gown, the neck line, the waistband, and the color would be perfect for Sofia. A gunmetal clutch, sandals, and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry will pull this sultry and sophisticated ensemble.
Last but not least we have probably my favorite wish. Zoe Saldana always wow's me when she dons a gown on the red carpet. For the 2012 ALMA Awards I would love to see her wear this lime green accented black halter gown with side cutouts from the Giorgio Armani Prive Spring 2012 Couture collection but was shown as an added bonus when he had a fashion event in Beijing this past May. I think that this gown would be an amazing choice for Zoe who will make this look shine. I would add a pair of black pumps and the matching lime green clutch will finish off this look.
