2013 Academy Awards: Guests Wish List

The looming possibility of seeing Berenice Bejo redeem her Oscars red carpet misstep last year at this years awards show has me extremely excited. The French actress is married to last years Best Director winner Michel Hazanavicius who will be on hand tonight as a presenter. I think that this stunning brown embellished Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture gown would be perfect for Berenice who really came into her own on the red carpet as the Mistress of Ceremonies at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and I would love to see a dramatic return to the American red carpet in this gown. Finish with a bronze clutch, bronze sandals, and some simple Chopard diamonds and Berenice will do exactly what I am hoping she will.

Jennifer Garner has been along for the ride with her husband Ben Affleck, who was surprisingly snubbed for a Best Director nomination, all awards season. She is definitely on her way to winning Best Plus One due to her amazing efforts this year so far. For tonight's awards show I think that selecting this navy blue Zac Posen Spring 2013 RTW gown would be the best choice for the actress who is attending as a supporter but also as a presenter for the event. A silver and black patterned Leiber clutch, black sandals, and a pair of statement earrings would make this look sing simple and elegant ensemble.

Norah Jones has a song nominated for Best Original Song and she is going to be on hand tonight to perform the song. For the red carpet I think that this black velvet Tadashi Shoji Fall 2013 RTW gown with a loose top. I think that this 30's inspired gown would look stunning on Norah. A small pair of gold earrings, a drop pendant gold necklace, a pair of black pumps, and Norah's signature hairstyle keep this look simple yet dramatic.

Scarlett Johanson is a performer of a song that is nominated and while she has not been announced as a performer I do not see why she wouldn't be on hand tonight. As a face of Dolce & Gabbana I am actually getting tired of her wearing the standard lace gowns that they seem to push out without a thought. For the red carpet of this event I would love to see ScarJo wear this stunning beaded gold strapless Elie Saab Spring 2013 Couture gown. A few years ago Scarlett wore a gold Elie Saab gown for an awards show but I thin that this gown would just shine like no other. Finish the look with a gold metallic clutch, gold sandals, and some amazing diamond jewels will make this a look that I will fall out of my chair over.

Stacy Keibler will be playing the arm candy roll yet again tonight I am sure as the plus one of George Clooney. George is nominated as one of the producers of 'Argo' which is the film that is the favorite to take home the Best Picture award tonight. I think that as a plus one this raspberry beaded Elie Saab Spring 2013 RTW gown would be the most amazing option for Stacy to pick. Since she has started working with Brad Goreski as her stylist she has has quite a few stunning red carpet moments and I am hoping to see another tonight. Finish this look with a pair of silver sandals and stunning statement earrings and a cuff bracelet and Stacy will sparkle like no other.

2013 Academy Awards: Performers Stagewear Wish List

Adele will be on hand Sunday night to perform at the 2013 Academy Awards her Best Original Song Award nominated song 'Skyfall' from the latest James Bond flick with the same title. I can just see her standing center stage in front of a microphone stand wearing the black Alexander McQueen Spring 2013 RTW ruched dress with a gold belt. I think that this would be stunning on the talented star who will probably pick up her own little gold man because of the film. A pair of black pumps and her signature 60's beehive hair and I am sure I will fawn over this look.

The legendary Academy Award winning songstress Barbara Streisand will be on hand at the 2013 Academy Awards to perform, according to the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, and Sciences. The only place where I feel like she would fit in would be during the In Memoriam  performing one of her it ballads like 'Memory' from 'Cats' or 'Somewhere' from 'West Side Story.' For a performance during this section of the show I think that this black free flowing Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture gown with sheer beaded panels would be perfect for Barbara. She loves to show a little skin and if she at 70 years old is still comfortable with that then I say let her go on with her bad self.

Norah Jones will be on hand Sunday to perform her Best Original Song nominated number 'Everyone Needs A Best Friend' from the comedy film 'TED.' The song has a very big band feeling. I can see her standing in the center of the stage with the orchestra right behind her. She would of course be wearing this green Monique Lhuillier Fall 2013 RTW tea length dress to help with the old Hollywood feel. Marcel waves and black pumps would be the perfect compliment for this performance ensemble.

Scarlett Johanson has been yet to be announced but several of the performers of Best Original Song nominee songs have been announced and since ScarJo is one of the performers on the nominated song 'Before My Time' I am hoping that she will be there to perform. Since Scarlett is once of the faces of Dolce & Gabbana I found it only appropriate to put her in a Dolce & Gabbana gown for one of her looks for the event (the red carpet wish will come on Sunday.) This black lace and satin Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2013 RTW with a classic Dolce mermaid silhouette would again be perfect for Scarlett for a performance on the Oscar stage. Finish this with some amazing dazzling diamond jewels and a pair of black peep toe pumps and she will be ready to take the Oscar stage by storm.
