2014 Independent Spirit Awards: Paula Patton & Shailene Woodley Wish List

Paula Patton is either on my Best Dressed list or my Worst Dressed list. There is no in between for the actress. When she stepped out to announce the nominees for the 2014 Independent Spirit Awards she almost had a good look in white Versace Resort 2014 but she had a large visible stain on the front of her dress. Recently Paula has been wearing a lot of white and black so for the Independent Spirit Awards I am hoping that she brings some color to the red carpet. I think that this sexy lime Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2014 RTW jumpsuit with a daring deep v bustier would be a bold sexy and perfect choice for Paula to make for this event. The Spirit Awards are very laid back and pants and more casual cocktail dresses and even maxi dresses are the norm. So this sleek sexy sophisticated jumpsuit would fit right in. I would actually keep the runway pointed to pumps, add a gold clutch, a chic slicked back hairstyle, and a pair of statement gold drop earrings to complete this look that would have Paula Patton winning in the style department at the Independent Spirit Awards.

Another hit or miss star on the red carpet, who like Paula has more misses than hits, is Shailene Woodley who is nominated for Best Female Lead for 'The Spectacular Now' at the Independent Spirit Awards on March 1st. I am hoping that this will be a night that Shailene delivers a  hit on the red carpet. This orange Jenny Packham Fall 2014 RTW long sleeved mini dress with silver embellishments would be a splendid choice for the young actress. I usually love what Shailene wears when she goes after British designers, if she only wore brands like Jenny Packham, Christopher Kane, and Peter Pilotto for the rest of her red carpet career I think that I would die a happy man. Finish this look with a pair of silver Jimmy Choo 'Lance' sandals and a silver Jimmy Choo 'Tube' clutch and a sleek high pony tail and simple makeup will give the right styling choices to ensure that Shailene is on the Best Dressed List and not the Worst Dressed list!

2013 MTV Video Music Awards Wish List: Paula Patton

Paula Patton is the wife of R&B crooner Robin Thicke who has one of the catchiest tunes of the summer, 'Blurred Lines,' nominated for a VMA. I will say I am not entirely looking forward to seeing Paula at this years MTV Video Music Awards because this year she has given all kinds of hot mess looks on the red carpet. She needs to fire her stylist in favor of someone who would actually be able to dress her and flatter her. I had to go back to the 2012 Golden Globe Awards to find a decent picture of Paula in her yellow Monique Lhuillier mermaid gown. While a gown is not where I think that Paula should go for the 2013 VMA's I do think that she should stick to Monique Lhuillier because the two of them usually make good red carpet music together. I think that this gold brocade print crepe georgette peplum corset top and black silk crepe pants would be the perfect ensemble for this event. Complete this look with a pair of black Christian Louboutin platform pumps and a black oversized clutch and ditch the coat paired with this ensemble.
