"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.

2014 Toronto International Film Festival Wish List Part 2

Greta Gerwig is quickly becoming a fashion darling. This year alone she has worn custom Donna Karan Atelier, Lanvin, Theory, Narciso Rodriguez, and Stella McCartney, attended a few dinners hosted by Chanel, and was the date of Zac Posen at the CFDA Awards. This just makes me that much more excited to see what Greta is going to keep bringing to the red carpet. Greta will be making the film festival rounds promoting her film "Eden" starting at the Toronto International Film Festival. For the "Eden" premiere I would love to see Greta wear this green Stella McCartney Fall 2014 RTW strapless bustier and tapered pant ensemble. I love this bustier that features draping of not just fabric but the signature fringe of Stella's Fall 2014 collection. There have not been many successful outings of this collection but I do think that Greta can pull this look of with great aplomb. I would keep the styling simple with a pair of dyed to match forest green pointed toe pumps and a gold minaudiere clutch so that the focus is mostly on the stunning bustier.
While I have to say that I am most interested in what "Men, Women, & Children" leading male, Ansel Elgort, will wear for the TIFF premiere of the film, I am also hoping that Jennifer Garner will take to the red carpet to premiere the film as well. I tend to believe that Jennifer looks her best when she is wearing Oscar de la Renta and I am hoping that she will wear the designer for this premiere. Now I am sure that you will see this a lot on the blog in the coming days, but I figure that Jenn will grab a hot off the runway look from the designer as he is presenting his Spring 2015 Collection this coming week. If she wears something that has already been presented I would love to see her wear this blue and green polka dot on silk tulle Oscar de la Renta FALL (sorry it was a typo in the image editing) 2014 RTW collection. If I know Jennifer's style well enough I know that she would pair this look with a pair of black pumps and some simple jewels to finish off this look for the red carpet.
I know very little when it comes to Holliday Grainger's red carpet style and even less about her acting abilities. I do know that she is a British born actress who has had some rolls in "The Borgias" and "Great Expectations." Next year Holliday will have to hold her own on the red carpet next to Cate Blanchett while they promote "Cinderella" with Lily James and Helena Bonham Carter. I figure we will see Holliday represent a British brand when she premieres her film "The Riot Club" at TIFF this year. This strapless Nicholas Oakwell Spring 2014 Couture tea length gown embellished with white and pink beaded florals would be a sweet elegant choice for Holliday to wear for her first major major red carpet. I would finish this look with a pair of hot pink pumps and a sleek hairstyle to ensure that Holliday wears the gown and the gown does not wear her.
We are about to see a whole hell of a lot of Natalie Dormer on the red carpet. The "Game of Thrones" actress is presenting "The Riot Club" at TIFF and then will go on to promote "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1." I can honestly say that I am very excited to see what Natalie is going to bring to the red carpet coming up. For the most part Natalie has worn British brands on the red carpet and it will be interesting to see if she keeps it up. I am predicting that for the TIFF premiere of "The Riot Club" Natalie should wear this Roksanda Resort 2015 cocktail dress that consists of a bright yellow and navy sculpted one shoulder blouse and navy tone on tone pencil skirt. Natalie has the presence to ensure that this dress would overwhelm her. Paired with a pair of nude pumps, a sleek hairstyle, and a pink lip Natalie would rock the TIFF premiere of "The Riot Club"
We have not seen much of Amanda Seyfried on the red carpet since the 2013 Awards season where she promoted "Les Miserables" with the rest of her cast, so I was really excited to see her name amongst those that have films premiering at TIFF. When it is not Awards Season or the Met Ball we tend to see Amanda rock shorter lengths and that is probably what she will do when it comes to the TIFF premiere of her film "While We're Young" but I have remained optimistic and decided to pick this light sky blue Nina Ricci Resort 2015 gown with a shirred blouse. This is a simple gown that directly relates to Amanda's laid back sense of style. I could also see this gown being shortened to a cocktail dress if Amanda so deemed it worthy. A gold clutch and gold pumps would be the simple accessories that I would add for this gown. Finishing the look with a fresh face of simple makeup and a simple updo to showcase all the bodice detail would be the way to go to ensure that Amanda ends up on every best dressed list.
Naomi Watts has either made my heart skip a beat or made me want to hide my head in shame when she has taken to the red carpet this year. I am hoping that when she steps out for the TIFF premiere of her film "While We're Young" with Amanda Seyfried that Naomi makes my heart skip a beat. I would have that moment if she were to wear this stunning cream Altuzzara Resort 2015 draped gown. It looks as if the fabric that this gown is made in is very stiff and I think that means that it has to be impeccably tailored for Naomi so that it doesn't end up looking like a giant potato sack on Naomi. If she has this gown tailored and pairs it with a statement gold sandals and a gold clutch, sleek hair, and a red lip then I believe that Naomi would shut down the TIFF red carpet with a stunning ensemble.

2014 Golden Globe Awards: Everyone Else Wish List Part 2

With 2 films slated to premiere in 2014 Emma Watson will make her first ever Golden Globe appearance. After leaving major franchises where they can be recognized for playing an iconic character many stars are never able to shake that, but Emma seems to be plugging along after the end of the Harry Potter franchise. I have loved watching Emma's style evolve over thee years because she is only 3 years older than myself and really had to come into her fashion persona at a young age, I am 20 almost 21 and just really getting my feet grounded into what I think is truly my own personal style. For the 2014 Golden Globe Awards Emma should take to the stage as a presenter wearing this just presented Moschino Pre-Fall  2014 black and white layered dress with a selection of gold buttons down the bodice. With a major nod to the 1980's in its design I think that this gown would look absolutely amazing on Emma. Finish the look with a back Chanel gold chain embellished clutch, a pair of simple Saint Laurent sandals, and maybe some amazing Chanel Fine Jewelry in gold to keep this look absolutely perfect for Emma and her first Globes appearance.
I am still surprised that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has not announced that 2013 Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama winner Jessica Chastain will be a presenter on Sunday night. I am almost positive that we will see Jessica at the Globes so I decided to pick a gown for her anyway. This Atelier Versace Fall 2013 Couture blue embellished gown features a choker that attaches at the back of the gown. I would have this gown modified to remove this feature and make the gown completely strapless all the way around. Finish the look with a pair of black sandals, some stunning Chopard jewels, and a sleek wavy hairstyle swept over one shoulder and Jessica will wow on this red carpet on Sunday night!
We have not seen Kyra Sedgwick take to the red carpet since the 2012 SAG Awards so it will be a welcome return for her to return to the Golden Globe red carpet on Sunday night as a presenter. The former 'The Closer' star has 4 projects rolling out this year so she will be back on the scene quite a bit and I am really excited to see what this year will bring her. The 48 year old star is not one to let age stand between her and a sexy dress and this plum Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2014 halter gown with side cut outs and center split is a subtle but extremely sexy gown. Finish the look with a black satin clutch, a pair of black simple sandals, and some knock out diamond and amethyst earrings and cuff bracelet will make for the perfect look for Kyra's red carpet return.
Margot Robbie really stepped onto the red carpet scene last month and it wasn't really a step but a giant leap attending a premiere for 'The Wolf of Wall Street' in a custom Armani Prive gown and stole the show. Sunday Margot will take to the red carpet at the 2014 Golden Globes as a presenter and I am extremely excited to see what she is going to wear. This silver one shoulder Nicholas Oakwell Fall 2013 Couture gown which features silver & hematite long tassels. This satin gown would hug every single one of Margot's perfect curves and just look extremely glamorous as she glided down the red carpet of her first major awards show red carpet. A pair of silver Charlotte Olympia sandals, a grey clutch, as well as some stunning drop earrings will make for the perfect icing on top of this look.
Some are surprised that Naomi Watts was not nominated for he portrayal of Princess Diana in her film 'Diana.' Well she isn't nominated but she will be at the event, not only to support hubby and nominee Liev Schreiber, as a presenter. Last year Naomi wowed in a deep red Zac Posen gown for this event an I am actually turning back to the designer for the look that I want to see her wear this year. This midnight blue Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2014 body hugging gown would look absolutely amazing on Naomi. Finish the look with a matching clutch, a pair of silver sandals, as well as a selection of stunning sapphire and diamond jewels from Van Cleef & Arpels to complete this ensemble for Naomi for the Golden Globe Awards.
Last but not least for today I am wishing that a pregnant Olivia Wilde will wear this amazing body hugging white Emilio Pucci Spring 2014 RTW gown for the 2014 Golden Globe Awards. On her first major outing after announcing her pregnancy at the 'Her' LA premiere Olivia picked a tight fitting David Koma dress that really showcased her burgeoning baby bump, which is why I picked this really slinky body hugging gown. With the glow that Olivia has been showcasing I would just add a simple silver mirror box clutch, a pair of silver Saint Laurent sandals, a neutral makeup palate, and a simple hairstyle to just let Olivia shine and not let anything overtake her look

2013 Cannes Film Festival: L'Oreal Spokesmodel's Wish List Part 2

 For 16 years now L'Oreal Paris has been sponsoring the Cannes Film Festival adding its glamour to the red carpets over the two week span of the festival. Last year was the first year for Bianca Balti to attend the festival for L'Oreal and she wore a bold Dolce & Gabbana floral and cherub printed gown complete with puffy sleeves and mermaid hi-low hem. I would not expect the Dolce & Gabbana muse not to wear the brand during the festival and I have two ideas for what she should wear for the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals. These two red dresses were presented on the runway of the Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2013 RTW collection. Well she can not show up wearing a cocktail dress on the red carpet at Cannes as a L'Oreal spokesmodel. The red gown to the left should just be made to be a floor length column dress and the one on the right would go to the floor and have a small train. Of course this is what I would do if I were to style her for this event.
 Cheryl Cole walked the red carpet at the premiere of 'Amour' during last years Cannes Film Festival and despite the torrential downpour that ensued looks absolutely amazing wearing a stunning Stephane Rolland creation for the second year in a row. Well why I may have another Stephane Rolland gown for Cheryl to wear for this years event I have a few other wishes as well. First up we have a stunning white Georges Chakra Spring 2013 Couture gown. I think that this is a modern statement that we don't often see at Cannes and Cheryl is the girl that can bring that to the event. In the middle we have a silver to navy ombre Nicholas Oakwell Spring 2013 Couture gown. This is a gown from an up and coming British designer and I think that Cheryl would be a great client for the brand and this gown would be a perfect statement for the Cannes Film Festival. And finally we have this stunning black Stephane Rolland Spring 2013 Couture gown. If Cheryl sticks with the designer that two years running has given her a spot on the best dressed lists of the festival then I think that this is the gown that she should wear. Its simplistic but modern with the sheer panel and would be a sleek statement to be made during the festival.
Claudia Schiffer is a German supermodel, one of the crop of originals from the 80's and 90's. She is another L'Oreal Spokesmodel and a Cannes Film Festival red carpet regular. Every year Claudia takes to the red carpet at the festival for at least one premiere, usually wearing Chanel. The model has been a muse for Karl Lagerfeld as he designs his collections for Chanel. This spring there were several designs that I could see Claudia wear from the Chanel Spring 2013 Couture collection, the first we have is a white lace gown with a caplet trimmed with black satin ribbon. I think out of all the looks I have featured here that this is the gown that Claudia is most likely to wear even though it is not in her black gown comfort zone. The look I would most like to see Claudia wear is this black tulle layered Chanel Spring 2013 Couture a-line gown. This would make a bold glamorous statement that we rarely see from Claudia. The final wish is a big stretch because not only is it not just black but has a floral print. This would look stunning on Claudia and she would be one of the few that I can picture making this look come to life on the red carpet.

'Oblivion' Premiere Wish List

 One of my Ones to Watch in 2012 was Andrea Riseborough and for the most part she didn't let me down but this year she has had several questionable looks and her makeup artist hates her with a dying passion. I am hoping everything works out for when she makes her red carpet appearance for the LA Premiere of Oblivion. I would love to see the star wear this amazing silver Nicholas Oakwell Spring 2013 Couture gown with layers of beaded fringe. This gown is such a statement that I would love to see her wear her hair up in a tight bun, a silver satin clutch, and a pair of silver satin peep toe pumps would be the perfect finishing touches on this old Hollywood glam look.
Olga Kurylenko is a stunning Ukrainian born French actress who has been breaking into the Hollywood scene with roles as a Bond Girl, in the Showtime series 'Magic City,' and Hitman. Her latest film 'Oblivion.' For the red carpet premiere I would love to see her wear this black Giorgio Armani Fall 2013 RTW gown. This gown is a mix of classic elegance and sexy glamour. Olga has given us some amazing red carpet looks in the past and I am hoping that this premiere will be no different. Finish this look with a black Edie Parker clutch, a pair of Christian Louboutin black peep toe satin pumps, a pair of cluster diamond earrings, and a stack of two diamond bracelets and Olga will have a perfectly accessorized look to wow us with on the red carpet.
