2014 End of the Year Awards: Best Stage Costume

Beyonce might be the Entertainer of the Year, but the Best Stage Costume came from Pink wearing a stunning ruby slipper red Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture ball gown with three quarter length sleeves and a deep plunging neckline to perform the classic "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" from "The Wizard of Oz" at the 2014 Academy Awards. What made this look such a hit was the fact that it was soooooooooo unexpected from the edgy performer. I figured Pink would have worn something that incorporated leather and edge but this elegant offering left me speechless.

2014 Met Ball: Naomi Watts, Pink, Rihanna, & Selena Gomez Wish List

Naomi Watts worked very simple silhouettes during awards season this year. I am hoping that if she takes to the red carpet at the 2014 Met Ball that she brings a look that leaves shock and awe. That is why I have picked this white Schiaparelli Spring 2014 RTW gown with sculpted voluminous sleeved cropped jacket. While Naomi might not be the tallest woman in the world, at 5'5", she can still rock the hell out of some dramatic looks. I would have her hair swept up into 1930's waves, add a red lip, a gold clutch, and a pair of gold pumps to give this look the simple yet statement making accessories that it needs to be a best dressed ensemble.

After going glam at the Grammy's and the Academy Awards I am hoping that if Pink keeps turning up on big red carpets that she will give us a shocking moment. I think that this white and red Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2014 RTW mermaid gown with a fish net skirt and men's shirt like bodice would make a statement that can only be seen on the red carpets of the Met or the Grammy's. Pink knows how to work glamour and punk which is exactly what meshes with this Gaultier creation. I would style her hair in her normal faux hawk style, a smoky eye, neutral lip and pair this look with just a pair of red Christian Louboutin pumps to give her the tools to work this red carpet to death.

As the face of the Balmain Spring 2014 RTW advertising campaign I am expecting Rihanna to take to the red carpet in a Balmain design. I am almost hoping for a custom creation but if I had to choose a runway look it would have to be Balmain Fall 2014 RTW look number 7. With its  detailed line by line leather top, thick belt, and feathered mini skirt, I think that this look is something that Rihanna would wear with her new look that she is rocking as of late. Some sky high black and gold stiletto sandals and a bold lip color will make sure that Rihanna ends up on the best dressed list.

Selena Gomez has been working the sexy lately on the red carpet and I have been loving it. I love this amazing aqua blue Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2014 Couture draped gown. I could see Selena going for this dramatic sexy gown that features an extremely long train that would drape so elegantly over the steps up into the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. A simple silver minaudiere, a pair of silver sandals, a pair of statement diamond drop earrings, and a bold diamond cuff would make sure that Selena is sexy and sultry working the major red carpet.

Top 10 Looks from the 2014 Academy Awards

2014 Academy Awards: Performers Wish List

This years Academy Awards are going to be packed with musical guests. Over the past month since the nominations were announced, and one Best Original Song nominee was disqualified, a host of talented men and women have been slated to perform live on Sunday night. All of the Best Original Song nominees will be performing their nominated songs. First up is 'Let it Go' from Disney's 'Frozen.' Broadway powerhouse Idina Menzel voiced the character, Queen Elsa, for the film and will be on hand Sunday night to perform 'Let it Go,' which is my personal pick to win the Oscar. For this event I have chosen two looks from my red carpet go to designer Elie Saab. For the red carpet I am wishing that Idina will give this jade green Elie Saab Spring 2014 RTW halter neck gown with a crisscross open back the moment that it so deserves. Idina has never worn Elie Saab before and what better platform that the Academy Awards to start a blossoming relationship with the King of the Red Carpet. Finish this look with a gold Jimmy Choo 'Cosma' clutch, a pair of black and gold Jimmy Choo 'Rocks' strappy sandals, and a stunning pair of statement Cathy Waterman fire opal arabesque earrings to give Idina the red carpet statement that she deserves. For her performance of 'Let it Go' I want to give Idina her very first couture moment via this white Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture beaded and caped gown. If you have seen 'Frozen' then you might get why I picked this gown because as soon as I saw it I immediately thought of this couture creation as it is very similar to the gown that Elsa wears in the film. Performing the ballad in this number with a pair of simple silver Jimmy Choo 'Anouk' pointed toe pumps and a pair of diamond and sapphire drop earrings and Idina will kill her performance both via wardrobe and vocals.

I have never heard of Karen O before she was nominated for Best Original Song for 'The Moon Song' from the film 'Her.' I don't know what to expect from the performer when it comes to Sundays Academy Awards but by golly miss molly if I ain't gonna give her a go anyway. It seems that Karen mainly sticks to black and white on the red carpet and I think that this bateau neck Tony Ward Spring 2014 Couture gown with black detail and 3/4 length sleeves would be perfect for her to wear on the red carpet at the Academy Awards. A simple black clutch, black sandals, some simple earrings, and a bold red lip will finish off this stunning red carpet moment. To perform 'The Moon Song' I can picture Karen keeping the black sandals, simple diamond earrings, and bold red lip from her red carpet ensemble and just changing into this black Tadashi Shoji Fall 2014 RTW sleeveless gown with an embroidered bodice and chiffon skirt. I figure that Karen will most likely stand center stage in front of a microphone to perform this song letting lighting and camera angles make the performance interesting so this gown would be perfect.

Not nominated but slated to perform Sunday night at the Academy Awards is Pink. I freaking love this woman who dances to the beat of her own drum and doesn't give a flying fuck in space what anyone else thinks about her. There are one of two duties off the top of my head that Pink could be doing during the 2014 Academy Awards, one is performing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' during the Academy's salute to the 75th Anniversary of the release of 'The Wizard of Oz' or performing a song during the In Memoriam section. Either way before she takes to the stage Pink must take to the red carpet. On the same day that Pink was announced as a performer Versace showed their Fall 2014 RTW collection in Milan and I knew the moment that I saw this cream gown with a Grecian draped neckline, slashed detailed gown with gold embellished straps that this would be my wish for Pink to wear on the red carpet at the Oscars. This gown is everything that Pink is edgy and glamorous. I think that just a pair of gold sandals and simple jewels will finish off this look. Keeping with the same soft theme that I picked for the red carpet I think that this Reem Acra Fall 2014 RTW gown with a gold beaded illusion bodice and white chiffon skirt will make for a dope performance ensemble for either of the situations that I mentioned, tho if Pink decides to do her aerial act then I think a midnight blue Atelier Versace Fall 2012 Couture bodysuit would work as well.

Bette Midler, U2, and Pharrell Williams are all also poised to perform on Hollywood's biggest night, The Academy Awards, Sunday March 2nd starting at 8PM EST on ABC.

2014 Grammy Awards: Nominee Wish List Part 2

In her hit song 'Royals' Lorde talks about never seeing diamonds in the flesh, ballgowns, and Cristal and Sunday night she will be in a whirlwind of all of these things and more at the 2014 Grammy Awards. The new artist to the scene is nominated for 4 Grammy's including Record and Song of the Year for 'Royals.' Lorde will also take to the stage during the telecast top perform, but before she does this she will have to take to the red carpet. Lorde attended the 2013 Met Ball as a guest of Chanel so it would not surprise me to see the couture house dress the rising star for this event. I did consider putting Lorde in the recently presented Spring 2014 Couture collection but I think that the collection was too light for the grungy star and I think that this grey textured Chanel Fall 2013 Couture gown is perfect for her for this red carpet. I would love for her to really go balls to the wall with the styling pairing this look with grungy boots and maybe some sort of glove. There are not many that could make a look like that work but Lorde has the confidence to wear couture and make it look like she just threw it on as she was leaving the house like that old hoodie that we all have sitting in the back of our closet.

Now we don't see Pink wear a whole lot of top label designers but I think that she should rock this black Atelier Versace Fall 2013 Couture turtle neck gown with a sheer side panel with beaded trim for the 2014 Grammy Awards on Sunday night. I love that pink has this edgy approach to feminine dressing, and usually makes the two mesh very well and I think that this could be yet another moment where the two blur the lines and fuse together. Pink is nominated for Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for her song 'Just Give Me a Reason' with F.U.N.'s Nate Ruess, and the duo will take to the stage during the telecast to perform together. This sexy and sophisticated ensemble would just be the icing on the top of the cake. Finish the look with a pair of simple Saint Laurent sandals and a red lip and Pink has the perfect Grammy look.

Rihanna has garnered 2 Grammy nomination's including Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for 'Stay' with Mikky Ekko and Best Urban Contemporary Album for 'Unapologetic.' I am hoping that she wow's me like she did in Jean Paul Gaultier Couture at the 2013 American Music Awards and I think that this sexy white Versace Spring 2014 RTW one shoulder gown with a panel of silver draped metal mesh and sky high slit are the way to go. RiRi isn't nominated for the night's two top awards so this more toned down gown would just let Rihanna shine through with her bad ass bitch persona. Finish the look with some cool ear cuff a cuff bracelet, and a pair of silver strappy sandals will make me just squeal with delight as RiRi walks the red carpet!

Much to the worlds chagrin Taylor Swift is nominated for 4 Grammy awards including Album of the Year for 'Red.' I am praying that Taylor brings a little sexy to the red carpet like she did a few times last year at the MuchMusic Video Awards and MTV Video Music Awards in Herve Leger, and the American Music Awards in Julien Macdonald. Each time that Taylor really sexed it up she found herself on my Best Dressed List. I think that this sexy red lace bustier Elie Saab Spring 2014 RTW gown with a flowing chiffon skirt would be the sexy choice for Taylor to make for the red carpet. Pair this dress with sleek pin straight locks, a smokey eye, a neutral lippie, the runway Elie Saab sandals, and Taylor will have a sexy yet sweet look for the 2014 Grammy Awards this Sunday night!

2013 MTV Video Music Awards Wish List: Pink

I have to say I have been a huge fan of the songs that Pink has put out in the past year as it has been really catchy or really passionate which are two things I look for in music that I put onto my iPod. With that said while I may love her music I am not always a fan of her red carpet dressing. Pink is not a typical red carpet lady as she is not a girly girl and tends to find edgier looks to wear on the red carpet. I think that this white silk chiffon top and black and silver embellished skirt from the Juan Carlos Obando Fall 2013 RTW collection is a perfect match for Pink. This is, what I believe to be, a perfect mix of red carpet glam and tomboy for Pink as I still think her best red carpet look came from a frilly Tony Ward couture gown at the 2010 Grammy Awards and this could go on the same rack of amazingness. I would complete with an edgy hairstyle and a pair of black sandals and this would be a huge improvement over several of her past red carpet ensembles.

2012 Grammy Awards Nominees Wish List: Nicki, Pink, Rihanna, and Taylor

Nicki Minaj is another hard one to predict what she is going to wear. I am hoping that the quirky rapper picks this white one sleeved trench coat dress, with a black bustier and lace slip from Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2012 Couture collection. I think that this collection is amazing for Nicki, as there are a bunch of Avant Garde looks that I could just see her dying over. With Nicki having an intense love for crazy high platforms, I would pick a pair of black leather and mesh Versace Spring 2012 shoes with a plexi platform.

I think I have found the best mix of Pink's punk style and old Hollywood glamour in this purple-y blue and red paillette encrusted Armani Prive Spring 2011 Couture gown. I think that Pink would rock this gown on the account that she always looks for that girl with an edge look and I think that this gown with its arch peplum detail is perfect for pink. I would recommend a rockabilly hairstyle and some red strappy sandals and just a pair of diamond studs to let the gown do all the talking with the attitude that she would bring to the red carpet are all that she needs.

I will not rest until I see Rihanna wear Atelier Versace. If you have not been following, I have really been on a campaign to get Rihanna to wear Atelier Versace; I have wished for her to wear the brand to the EMA's, AMA's, the Grammy Nominations Concert, and now the Grammy's. Well, here is my next effort by wishing for RiRi to wear this stunning orange gown. I love RiRi in bright colors because it really looks great against her skin tone and her hair. Rihanna would look absolutely amazing in this with just a pair of strappy gold sandals to accessorize her look.

Now many people won't like this wish for Taylor probably because they are all hoping that she is going to stray away from princess-ey gowns to stuff more suited for a mature lady. Well, I don't think that Taylor needs to wear a long sleeved high necked slit-less black gown just yet, I mean she is only 22. I think that this pink, green, and white floral gown would look stunning on Taylor and it is grown up and elegant all in the same step. Now, the thing I would like to see is Tay in less of is those overly sparkly numbers like she is pictured in on the left. Where Taylor can add her signature sparkle is through some amazing diamond bracelets and a sparkly green clutch, all that would be left is to add a pair of gold sandals.
