#Oscars 2016: Presenter Wish List Part 1

Charlize Theron is one of Sunday nights confirmed presenters. I am very excited to see what the statuesque beauty will wear on the Oscars red carpet. Charlize will for sure be in Dior, like Jennifer Lawrence Charlize is a face of the brand. Last year Charlize wore some amazing custom Dior Couture looks on the red carpet and I bet that continues Sunday. I would love to see Charlize in some color, like amethyst purple or bright lipstick red, with a very dramatic train as her custom look from Christian Dior. If she were to wear a runway look from the brand (although I think that is very unlikely) I think that this white lace sleeveless gown from the Fall 2014 Couture collection would make for a beautiful red carpet moment. Maybe Charlize would wear this gown for an after party, though the Zac Posen I picked would be just as fabulous.

Emily Bunt recently announced that she is pregnant with her second child with John Krasinski so I am intrigued to see what she will wear on the red carpet at the Academy Awards. I would love to see Emily rocking the red carpet in this blue Armani Prive Spring 2014 Couture fully embellished gown on the red carpet. I think that this gown would drape so elegantly over Emily's burgeoning baby bump. I don't believe that Emily has a very large bump so this gown would wither conceal it or showcase it, if she were to add a waistband. I personally think that adding a waistband would make for a great red carpet moment on Emily. Keeping the styling really chic with a classic updo, smokey eye, silver clutch, a pair of silver sandals, and diamond cluster earrings would ensure that Emily showcases amazing maternity style on the Oscars red carpet.

I am super excited that Kerry Washington is boycotting the Oscars Boycott because of #OscarsSoWhite and presenting at the show on Sunday night. Kerry is always one of my favorite ladies to see on the red carpet as she has some of the most amazing red carpet style and an arsenal of designer friends that make amazing clothes for her. When I watched the Prabal Gurung Fall 2016 RTW show and this ivory cold shoulder embellished gown came down the runway I gasped and said that needs to be on the Oscars red carpet. Prabal has not had a moment on the Oscars red carpet yet and I think that he and Kerry need to change that by working this gown to its full potential on the red carpet. I think that this gown is something that while minimal can be very high impact. I think that a gold clutch, a pair of gold sandals, chic updo, and a nude lip would finish this look perfectly to give Prabal an amazing Oscars red carpet moment.

Margot Robbie has been a rising fashion star since she burst onto the scene when The Wolf of Wall Street came out 2 years ago. Margot has been up and down with her red carpet style and I am hoping she brings high glamour to the red carpet at the Academy Awards on Sunday night. It is always interesting to see who gets to wear some of the coveted collections first on the red carpet and everyone is taking bets on who will get their hands on the Oscar de la Renta Fall 2016 RTW collection first. I would love to see Margot step out on the Oscars red carpet wearing this amazing gold and black Oscar de la Renta Fall 2016 RTW toile du Jouey ribbon jacquard fit and flare gown with a sequined strapless bodice. After back to back Oscars wearing black Saint Laurent gowns I am hoping that Margot delivers something different and I think that this is a glam moment to happen on the Oscars red carpet. A chic updo, red lip, gold clutch, black pumps, and a pair of dazzling diamond earrings would ensure that Margot kills the Oscars red carpet.

I have a feeling that a lot of you are looking at your screens a little lopsided right now looking at my wish for Reese Witherspoon to wear on the red carpet at the Oscars. Last year Reese gave us a modern version of old Hollywood in a black and white custom Tom Ford gown and I am hoping this year that Reese gives us a totally modern look. I loved this bubble gum pink and chocolate brown BOSS Fall 206 RTW dress on the runway and I could totally picture creative director Jason Wu taking this dress and turning it into an a-line gown for Reese on the red carpet. I think that this could be a great high glam modern look for Reese to wear on the red carpet, and a colorful one at that. Reese usually doesn't wear a whole lot of color on the red carpet and I am really hoping that she embraces color for the Oscars red carpet.

Runway Report: Prabal Gurung Fall 2016 RTW

I was all over the Prabal Gurung Fall 2016 RTW collection. Prabal just keeps getting better and this collection was just another punctuation of why he has amassed such a large celebrity following. Diane Kruger, Olivia Culpo, Jaime King, Ashley Madekwe, Karolina Kurkova, and Olivia Palermo were all perched front row taking in all of the amazing looks from this collection. A fashionable woman taking the natural world was the inspiration for this collection and was seen through amazing fur and shearling coats and chunky knit sweaters. Prabal is usually known for his red carpet looks but there are plenty of pieces in this collection for fashionistas working the sidewalk sartorial runways to snatch up, I personally want the white fur shearling zippered coat (seen center). There was no stop of femininity in this collection with dresses designed with deliberate button detail cutaways. These button details just added a subtle undone sensuality to silky cocktail dresses. The white finale beaded cold shoulder gown, modeled by one of my favorites Vanessa Moody, is the look that I am betting will be on the red carpet on Oscar Night. Maybe Diane will snatch this look up for the Vanity Fair Party. Jennifer Hudson, January Jones, Zoe Saldana, Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore, Sarah Jessica Parker, Naomi Watts, Olivia Wilde, Jessica Chastain, Emma Stone, Reese Witherspoon, Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie, and Uma Thurman are all stars that I can see wearing this stunning collection on the red carpet.

Make sure you check out all my favorite looks from the Fall 2016 RTW collections (and my immediate wishes) over on my Pinterest page.

#Oscars2016: Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon Wish List Part 2

I am probably most excited to see what Lady Gaga is going to wear in the lead up to the 2016 Academy Awards. Gaga is nominated for Best Original Song and is already confirmed to perform her nominated song "Till It Happens To You" during the telecast. For the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon I would love to see Gaga wearing this blue and purple ombre Armani Prive Fall 2016 Couture blazer and navy blue velvet pants. We have been seeing a very glamorous side of Gaga this year and I am loving it. Gone are the days of shock factor and in are the high fashion glam days. I originally thought that Cate Blanchett would wear this look but I think that Gaga would absolutely slay this for the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon. I can picture Gaga going full glam wearing this suit with a curly bob, pink lip, diamond cluster earrings, and a pair of black pumps for this red carpet. This might be a little over the top for most but on Gaga this is par for the norm and I love it.

Rachel McAdams kicked off Awards Season wearing a Lanvin ball gown which I equated with grandma's comforter at the Golden Globe Awards, but with each red carpet that passes I see her getting better and better. I am interested to see what the Best Supporting Actress nominee is going to wear for the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon on Monday. I would love to see her wearing this black and grey Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2016 striped jacquard flared dress. I think that this is a classic dress with a bold statement print which is perfect for a luncheon red carpet. Finish the look with a pair of silver pumps, a red lip, and a wavy bob and this look would be finished perfectly.

Rooney Mara is more often than not a total snooze fest on the red carpet and I am honestly expecting her to fade into the background at the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon. I would love to see her wearing this black ruched cotton Zac Posen Spring 2016 RTW dress which features a scoop neck with a keyhole detail at the bodice, sheer eyelet trim throughout, and a knee length a-line silhouette. I think that this dress is a statement in black, as I she will either wear black or white, and I honestly think that this will be one of the more bold and chic black looks that Rooney has ever worn. I figure the styling will be kept simple with a ballerina bun, a pair of black pumps, and classic barely there makeup to ensure that Rooney doesn't step outside of her very small style box.

Saoirse Ronan has yet to have a major WOW moment this awards season and I am hoping that she starts to take a couple of risks on the red carpet. With a love of edgy brands like Proenza Schouler I have been very surprised by just how underwhelming that she has been. I would love to see Saoirse wearing this multicolored Mary Katrantzou Pre-Fall 2016 dress rendered in jacquard and features a sheath silhouette with a jewel neckline, contoured seams, and a slightly flared knee length hem. I think that this dress is perfect for this red carpet to get her in an edgy look finally. The classic style mixed with the different colors and prints is a lot to take in but I think that Saoirse would be able to make it so chic on the red carpet. A pair of silver nude sandals, a pink lip, and pushed back sleek hair would add the perfect finishing touches so that the dress is the focus of this look, as it should be.

2016 Critics Choice Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 4

Following her stunning white Yves Saint Laurent Couture goddess gown at the Golden Globe Awards and the announcement of her Academy Award nomination I expect that we will only see Saoirse on her top form from here on out. I was starting to doubt if I was actually going to like anything that the young Irish-American actress was going to wear on the red carpet but I am keeping my fingers crossed that we have come past that point. Nominated for Best Actress at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday I am hoping that Saoirse will break out some Chanel Couture for the red carpet. I would love to see Saoirse wearing this army green tulle Chanel Fall 2015 Couture full skirted cocktail dress with gold beaded embroidery on the bodice. While Saoirse has never worn a couture look from Chanel on a red carpet, what better time is there than for the race to the Oscars? Finished with a simple pair of gold sandals, a sleek up-do, and a fresh face of makeup and this will be a triumphant moment for Saoirse in her first Chanel Couture.

Sarah Paulson is not usually one of my favorites to see step out on a red carpet, I tend to find her stiff and standard. I am hoping that for the Critics Choice Awards that she softens her look just a little. With a well deserved Best Supporting Actress in a Movie Made for Television or Limited Series nomination for her role as Sally on American Horror Story: Hotel I am hoping that Sarah will give me a wonderful red carpet moment. I picked this tea rose Prabal Gurung Spring 2016 RTW ensemble which consists of a crepe de chine draped halter blouse and chiffon fit to flare evening skirt. I think that this relaxed look is more Sarah's speed, and the last time she wore Prabal at the 2015 Emmys she looked amazing, so I think that she could make this look work on the Critics red carpet. I would keep the styling chic and elegant with a gold clutch, a pair of gold peep toe pumps, a wavy hairstyle and a pink lip to ensure that Sarah looks beautiful on the red carpet. 

Riding on the coattails of her Golden Globe Awards win for her role as Cookie on Empire I am sure that we will see Taraji P. Henson on the red carpet Sunday at the Critics Choice awards where she is nominated for the same role. Taraji is known now for not leaving Cookie on the floor when shooting is done giving us diva-Cookie-realness on the red carpet at all times. I am starting to give up on expecting her to give us glamour but I am hoping that she learns how to finesse her looks. At the Globes her Stella McCartney gown was stunning but where it should have been fitted perfectly it looked like it was bulging and that put me off from liking the look. If Taraji were to wear this black Mugler Spring 2016 RTW gown which sheath silhouette with a metal embellished v-neckline, leather detailing, and a front split I would be praying that she made sure that she has a good pair of spanks on. This gown gives us that glamorous sex siren style that Taraji is in favor of and I think that she could pull it off. A light lined eye, a red lip, a black Rauwolf clutch, and a pair of strappy black sandals would ensure that this is a great look for Taraji on the red carpet.

I am still trying to get a handle on what Tracee Ellis Ross's red carpet style really is. I have seen so many different types of looks on the Black-ish star but none that have seemed truly genuine. For the Critics Choice Awards I picked this gardenia white Elie Saab Spring 2016 RTW gown rendered in lace and features an a-line silhouette with a jewel neckline and an alternating geometric and floral pattern. I think that this chic more casual side of glamour is more Tracee's MO as the high glamour thing made her look uncomfortable. I think that with such a chic gown like this that Tracee would have a hard time not enjoying wearing it on the red carpet. Finish in a very chic way with a Rafe New York 'Sara' minaudiere (which is made of blacktab shell, blacklip mother of pearl, and white hammershell set in a brass inlay) to add some more visual interest, a pair of gold sandals, a red lip and a chic updo to ensure that this look is Critics Choice Awards red carpet ready.

Rounding out my wish lists for the 2016 Critics Choice Awards red carpet is Best Actress in a Drama Series nominee for How To Get Away With Murder's Viola Davis. I think that Viola has a lot of ups and downs on the red carpet. The Marchesa gown that she wore to the Golden Globe Awards this past Sunday was a little too much for her as I think simpler silhouettes tend to work better on Viola. I picked this white J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2016 halter gown which features black corded detailing and a flowing skirt because I think that this gown is simple enough with just the right amount of detailing to give Viola one of her best looks on a red carpet ever. Finish with a white Jimmy Choo Tube Clutch, a pair of black sandals, a red lip, curly bob, and diamond cluster earrings and this would be a personal best for Viola.

2016 Golden Globe Awards: Presenter & Plus One Wish List

Heading to the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night will be Televovela star and creator Eva Longoria. I have to say that Eva is either really good for me or she completely misses the mark, and she usually only hits the mark at the Cannes Film Festival. I am hoping though that when she steps out to present at the Globes that she is on point. I would love to see Eva get her hands on this vermilion orange Prabal Gurung Spring 2016 RTW gown with a velvet halter blouse and silk chiffon skirt. I think that this bold color, yet very sleek, gown would make for such a magical modern red carpet moment. Not every look that takes to a red carpet has to exude old Hollywood glamour, and while Eva does know how to work old Hollywood I would love to see her give us something a little different on the red carpet. I would pair this gown with a pair of strappy gold sandals, sun-kissed makeup, and a sleek pony tail to give Eva a modern glam moment on the Golden Globes red carpet.

Jada Pinkett Smith will most likely be on the red carpet on Sunday night on the arm of her husband, and Best Performance by a Motion Picture - Drama nominee, Will Smith. I used to love seeing Jada on the red carpet but with a lot of the looks that she wore on the red carpet at the end of 2015 just made me cringe. I am hoping that sexy, yet not trying to hard, Jada is back on Sunday night. I think that this simple white Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2016 RTW spaghetti strap gown with a plunging neckline, gold embellished waist detail, and central split would be just what I would love to see Jada wearing as she supports the man she loves. This simple gown is perfect since Jada would just be attending as Will's plus one and not a nominee, supporting a show or film she is in, or presenting. Finish this look with a gold Edie Parker clutch, a pair of strappy Christian Louboutin sandals, and a red lip and Jada will be sexy and sophisticated on the Globes red carpet.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum is always one of the best dressed plus one's that takes to the red carpets when she is on the arm of her husband Channing Tatum, who's presenting on Sunday night. I was a little less than enthused with the sheer lace Marchesa gown that Jenna wore to the premiere of Channing's latest film The Hateful Eight, so I am hoping that she will be a little more clothed at the Golden Globe Awards. I think that this raspberry pink Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2016 one shouldered draped gown, while almost a red carpet standard, is something that Jenna would look exceptional wearing on the red carpet. This gown is chic and elegant while not being anything too much. Finished with a silver clutch, a pair of silver sandals, a red lip, chic updo, and a pair of dazzling diamond earrings will finish this look off perfectly for the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards.

I am very nervous about what Jennifer Lopez is going to wear on the red carpet when she shows up to present at the Golden Globe Awards. Last year she brought a lot of drama via a caped Zuhair Murad caped gown (which one could say was too much) and then as the year went on her gowns started having less and less fabric. I always believe that the film and television awards are glamour required and the gowns that JLo has been wearing have been more on the tacky side than glamorous side. I went into the Zuhair Murad archives and picked this forest green Fall 2013 Couture strapless pleated gown. I love this gown and I would love to see it on the red carpet and I think that Jennifer would exude her sexy glamour, without looking tacky, wearing this stunning creation. A matching clutch and gunmetal silver sandals, along with old Hollywood waves, a smoky eye, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings would ensure that this is a JLo look to remember.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is another that I have a love or hate type of relationship with on the red carpet. Usually I enjoy her at the big awards shows, but she often picks looks that fade into the background. I am hoping that she brings her a-game to the red carpet at the Golden Globes on Sunday where she is going to be on hand as a presenter. I picked this chic winter white Ralph Lauren Pre-Fall 2016 high bow detailed neck, long sleeved column gown for Maggie to wear. This is a modern yet classic type of look with no muss or fuss which I think Maggie would appreciate. With such a simple classic look I think that this gown would be perfectly styled with a gold Prada clutch, a pair of gold Prada sandals, a vintage inspired style for her bob, a red lip, and a pair of yellow gold set Van Cleef & Arpels diamond earrings for Maggie's Golden Globe red carpet moment.

Naomi Watts will most likely be on the arm of her husband, Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama nominee, Liev Schreiber at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night. At the 2015 Emmy Awards Naomi played this same role wearing a Dior Couture cocktail dress which failed to impress or excite. I would keep her look simple, as she is not the focus of the night I think that something like this silver Saint Laurent Spring 2016 RTW embellished gown would be a perfect choice for her. I think that Naomi would shine bright like a diamond and play the part of the perfect plus one in this simmering gown which is not overly fussy and elegant. Styled with a sleek silver clutch, a pair of silver sandals, sleek hair, red lip, and a pair of diamond drop earrings this look could contend for best dressed against some of the nominees. 

2016 People's Choice Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 1

The People's Choice Awards is the second awards show of 2016 setting off on January 6, 2016. The dress at People's Choice is usually all over the place with looks ranging from jeans and t-shirts to evening gowns and off the rack purchases to haute couture, so it makes for a fun evening seeing all the different types of looks that grace the red carpet. ABC's Blood and Oil's Amber Valetta is one of the confirmed stars to take to the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards. I was really excited to find out that Amber was transitioning from modeling into TV and was hoping that would mean some amazing red carpet moments, that hasn't happened as of yet but I am always hopeful that it will turn around. With Balmain being everywhere & getting more and more tacky by each new collection I am almost fatigued but this almost sexy tuxedo inspired ensemble from the Balmain Spring 2016 RTW collection is one that I really want to see on a red carpet. I believe that with her supermodel presence that Amber would rock the hell out of this number on the red carpet, giving her a sultry sexy major moment to kick off 2016. Finished with a sleek hairstyle, a red lip, & black Christian Louboutin pumps & this look would make for a great kickoff to the People's Choice Awards red carpet.

Anna Kendrick is nominated at the 2016 People's Choice Awards for Best Comedic Actress thanks to her work in Pitch Perfect 2. Anna had a rather boring year on the red carpet in 2015 so I am hoping that she will make a come back in 2016. I picked this black Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2016 ensemble for Anna to wear for the People's Choice Awards because I think that this is a chic yet subtle and sophisticated way to start her getting back on her feet. Amp up the look with a pair of statement Jimmy Choo sandals and a pair of diamond studs to ensure that Anna kills the red carpet. 

One person who I am really excited to hopefully see on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards next Wednesday is Blake Lively, who is nominated for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress thanks to The Age of Adeline. I was not a fan of the actual movie but I love seeing Blake on the red carpet so I hope she steps out (especially since she hasn't been on a red carpet since promoting the movie earlier this year.) I would love to see Blake wear a version of this Gucci Spring 2016 RTW dress. I love this teal blue sequin dress with it's almost comic boom detailing. I think a shorter version with no rosette at the neck would make for a perfect look for Blake for this red carpet. Paired with a sleek pony tail, a pink lip, and a pair of silver Christian Louboutin pumps this look would be a major moment for Blake at the People's Choice Awards.

After killer promotional tours for Paper Towns and Pan I am really excited to see what Cara Delevinge will pop up in on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards, if she attends. Cara is nominated for the The DailyMail.com Seriously Popular award and I could totally picture the supermodel, whom has a major fan base, winning this type of award. Some of my favorite looks from Cara have come thanks to Alexandre Vauthier and this gold sequined Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2016 RTW ensemble. This sexy ensemble is something that I could picture Cara snatching up and rocking on the red carpet of the People's Choice Awards. This look would be perfectly styled with a pair of gold Christian Louboutin sandals and hair worn in Cara's signature waves.

Charlize Theron is probably one of the women that I am most excited to see take to the red carpet during awards season. Charlize is one of my favorite actresses to see on the red carpet as she just exudes glamour. While she is contractually obligated to wear Dior on the red carpet at the big events, like the Golden Globes or the Oscars, I get excited to see what else she will bring to these types of events. At the People's Choice Awards Charlize is nominated for Favorite Action Movie Actress thanks to Mad Max: Fury Road, and I am really hoping that she will make an appearance. For this red carpet I think that this sexy Anthony Vaccarello Spring 2016 RTW asymmetrical cocktail dress which has a very borrowed from the boys type look. This dress is masculine and sexy which is something we have not seen from Charlize in a very long time. A pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals, a white Dior clutch, and a red lip would ensure that this look is sleek and sexy.

After 2015 I think Ciara is becoming like Leslie Mann or Heidi Klum and inserting herself on any red carpet that she can. At the 2016 People's Choice Awards Ciara will be on the red carpet as she is nominated for Favorite R&B Artist. I didn't even know Ciara had released new music so I guess it tells you how much I follow her. For this res carpet I would love to see Ciara in this black Vera Wang Spring 2016 RTW ensemble. I think that this crop top and feather embellished pencil skirt would make for a perfect look for Ciara. She has been wearing a lot of edgy black ensembles and this would probably take the cake on all of them. A pair of the red to black ombre Christian Louboutin "Hot Chick" pointed toe pumps, sleek slicked back hair, and a red lip would ensure that Ciara has a major all black moment on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards.

"Joy" Premiere Wish List

I was less than impressed with the looks that Jennifer Lawrence pulled out for her The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 promo tour so to be say that I am not that interested to see what she will will to premiere Joy is a little bit of an understatement. I am hoping that the next season of Christian Dior without Raf Simons will bode better for the actress but until then I am not going to be holding my breath for a major moment. I would love to see JLaw rock this saffron Prabal Gurung Spring 2016 RTW gown rendered in silk charmeuse and features an a-line silhouette with a deep v-neckline and a front split at the skirt. Jennifer rocks sporty yet feminine looks like no other and I think that has been the problem with her and Dior, they are usually to overly fussy for her. This gown is simple and extremely elegant which would give Jennifer a beautiful kick off for an awards campaign. 

I am currently looking for feedback from my readers if you wouldn't mind taking a quick six question survey I would be greatly appreciative of that, you can take it by clicking here. 

"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.

2015 Hollywood Film Awards Wish List Part 1

Sunday night are the 2015 Hollywood Film Awards, the kickoff of the race to the Oscars, and I gotta say that I am extremely excited to see what all the stars will rock on the red carpet. What I love about the Hollywood Film Awards is that they announce honorees and its one of the more laid back awards shows, everyone knows who's one and it's basically just a gala celebrating all of the honorees. Alicia Vikander is being honored with the Hollywood Breakout Actress, which she has earned thanks to her performance in "The Danish Girl." I have been loving almost everything that Alicia has been wearing this second half of the year and she is the only Louis Vuitton brand ambassador that I am actually enjoying seeing on the red carpet. I am wishing though that Alicia will put LV on the back burner in favor of other brands for Sunday night's awards. I picked this this Prabal Gurung Spring 2016 RTW tea rose ensemble which includes a crepe de chine blouse and chiffon fitted evening skirt with coiled pleating details and a slightly flared hem because I think that the relaxed elegance of this gown is perfect for Alicia's no fuss glamour. I think Alicia would definitely be giving people something to talk about while wearing this gown. A gold Louis Vuitton clutch (so that she is still representing the brand), a pair of gold Jimmy Choo sandals, and a chic upswept hairstyle would be the perfect finishing touches to keep Alicia on top form for this red carpet as she starts her Oscar campaign.

I still have very little faith that funny lady Amy Schumer will give me anything worth loving on the red carpet, she is starting to develop fashion interests but they are still in their fledgling days. With that in mind Amy will be on hand Sunday night at the Hollywood Film Awards to accept the Hollywood Comedy Award thanks to the movie "Trainwreck," which she wrote in stared in this summer. I love Amy's womanly curves, I just think that she hasn't learned to dress them yet. I picked this embroidered Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2016 RTW halter neck keyhole pencil dress for Amy for this red carpet because one can never go wrong with a perfectly tailored pencil dress and the embroidery and color blocked neck make this dress anything but basic. Some might say that this look is do demure, ladylike, and proper for Amy who is known for her crude type of humor (I find her to be incredibly funny) but I think that she should explore absolutely every option when it comes to red carpet dressing to find out what is the best fit for her. Now where Amy had a great gown at the Emmy Awards ( a beautiful custom Zac Posen) her hair was a hot ass mess, and Amy you can still do a comedy routine about being a trainwreck and not always look like one. A sleek low bun and a light pink lip are the perfect beauty choices to keep that chic and elegant look that the gown is giving. Finish off with a pair of nude Christian Louboutin pumps and a gold clutch and Amy will for sure have a beautiful moment on the Hollywood Film Awards red carpet.

I can not say how happy I am to see Carey Mulligan finally getting back to the woman that I fell in love with back in 2010 (when I named her Best Newcomer on my old blog LoveIt or HateIt.) Carey has had major moments in Chanel, Alexander McQueen, & Marc Jacobs while promoting "Suffragette" and I am hoping that Sunday night when she receives the Hollywood Actress Award for her work on the film that she keeps it up. I picked this Victorian floral Alexander McQueen Spring 2016 RTW one shoulder gown gown for Carey because of its relaxed glamour. Carey is usually very no muss no fuss when it comes to red carpet dressing and this gown I think would be a beautiful moment for the British actress on the red carpet. This collection was one of my top collections of all the Spring 2016 RTW shows and I am praying that we see a lot of it on the red carpet and what better way to kick off the race to the Academy Awards than in Alexander McQueen.

When I saw that Jane Fonda is going to be honored with the Hollywood Supporting Actress Award for her work in the film "Youth" I got very excited. Jane has not had a good run promoting this film first the disastrous Schiaparelli gown at Cannes and then the dated Yves Saint Laurent Couture at the Toronto International Film Festival and I am hoping that Sunday we will see Jane back on her top form. I decided to pick a pantsuit for Jane for this red carpet because this has been the year of the amazing trouser looks from Jane. First it was Balmain at the Grammy Awards, then Zuhair Murad Couture at the Vanity Fair Oscar Part, and then Elie Saab recently and I think that adding Atelier Versace to that mix is the only natural progression. Some of my favorite looks from Jane have been courtesy of Versace and I think that this would be no different. This Atelier Versace Spring 2014 Couture white pantsuit with silver embellishment on the jacket is something that I think Jane would rock the hell out of. I think that this suit paired with a white chiffon pussy bow blouse, a pair of silver metallic Christian Louboutin pumps, and a silver clutch would make for a killer moment for Jane on this red carpet and start off her Oscar campaign quite nicely,

amfAR Inspiration Gala Los Angeles Red Carpet Wish List

Tomorrow night amfAR will honor Ryan Murphy at the Los Angeles Inspiration Gala. The stars of all of his shows and TV movies are co-chairs for this event and I am excited to see who will show up. Chloe Sevigny has been in two incarnations of Murphy's "American Horror Story" "Asylum" and now "Hotel" and I am actually really excited to see what she will wear as Chloe has been known for her eclectic taste in fashion. I have been long enjoying watching TOME develop as brand the past few seasons and I wish stars would embrace this brand on the red carpet. I would love to see Chloe wear this TOME Spring 2016 RTW ensemble which features a black cotton wrap halter top, a black and purple taffeta and cotton ball skirt, and a pair of black silk jersey ankle tie skinny pants. This is such a complicated look that not many would be able to pull off and I think that Chloe has the edge to be able to do so. With this complicated dress I would keep the styling to a minimum; sleek hair, pink lip, black clutch, & a pair of black sandals are all that are needed to ensure that this is a winning look.

Emma Roberts has been in multiple seasons of "American Horror Story" and is a star in Ryan Murphy's new series "Scream Queens" and is one of the co-chairs of the amfAR Inspiration Gala LA. I am interested to see what Emma will wear because she has been giving us lots of no color looks lately and I would like to see that stop, that is why I picked this cotton candy pink Badgley Mischka Spring 2016 RTW gown. This gown with it's simple silhouette, small lace peekaboo's, pleated skirt, and embroidery is something that I could totally picture Emma wearing as the silhouette is something that she tends to go for in a red carpet gown. Keep the sugar going with a silver glittering clutch, a pair of silver sandals, a light pink lip, and old Hollywood wave. If Emma does this I believe that this would be an absolutely amazing red carpet moment.

Gwyneth Paltrow is going to be the hostess with the mostess tomorrow night at the amfAR Inspiration Gala Los Angeles and I can not wait to see what she will be wearing. Gwyneth is no stranger to Ryan Murphy herself. The queen of GOOP was a favorite reoccurring character on "Glee" and are currently working together on getting "One Hit Wonders" off the ground. For this event I would love to see Gwenie wear this Prabal Gurung Spring 2016 RTW tea rose ensemble which includes a crepe de chine blouse and chiffon fitted evening skirt with coiled pleating details and a slightly flared hem. This almost nude pink ensemble is perfection and it is something that Gwyneth would totally wear on a red carpet, so why not for the amfAR gala? A pair of gold sandals, a gold clutch, fresh faced makeup, a sleek straight pulled back hairstyle, & a pair of Harry Winston diamond cluster earrings would be the perfect styling to ensure that Gwyneth is perfection on the red carpet.

Lady Gaga is currently giving me life as The Countess on "American Horror Story: Hotel" and I can not wait to see what she is going to be rocking when she steps out on the red carpet tomorrow night for the amfAR Inspiration Gala. Gaga has been giving us more demure looks since "AHS: Hotel" has been going, mostly thanks to her stylist turned designer Brandon Maxwell and as much I have been loving the magic that they are making on the red carpet I am hoping to see her in another label. I would KILL (no pun intended) to see Gaga wearing this nude feather and crystal embellished Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture gown, which reminds me of a 30's dressing gown. If anyone could make this gown work off of a runway in real life it would be Gaga and I am praying that this moment actually ends up happening. A pair of gold pumps, a chic updo, and a red lip would ensure that Gaga gives us absolutely everything that we hope for from her on the red carpet.

Lea Michele is another who is no stranger to a Ryan Murphy production having stared in "Glee" and now "Scream Queens." I have not been excited about one of Lea's red carpet looks in a long time and I am hoping that she will give me something to talk about tomorrow night. I believe that this ocean spray blue silk crepe georgette Elie Saab Resort 2016 gown which features an a-line silhouette with a collared halter neckline and ruffle details that outline the front opening on the bodice and cascade down the side of the dress. This is a very simple gown which is exactly what I think Lea needs to be able to get back in my good graces. I honestly think that when it comes to styling that the Elie Saab Swarovski crystal embellished clutch that the gown was paired with in the look book is a perfect choice along with a pair of gold sandals, a pink lip, and a loose romantic updo to keep this look perfect for this red carpet and to help Lea have a best dressed moment.

Runway Report: Prabal Gurung Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

Prabal Gurung was inspired by the disastrous earthquake in his native home of Nepal for his Spring/Summer 2016 RTW collection.  Prabal was not inspire by the devastation that was left in the wake of the natural disaster, but the spirit of the people. The show opened with a group of monks dressed in their traditional red and yellow robes chanting a prayer thanking all those in the fashion industry who helped Prabal raise money for the victims of the earthquake. The first look out was a white draped dress emblazoned with a thick orange and yellow brushstroke print that I have forever labeled the bacon dress. Once I realized exactly what the print was I was instantly in love. Each look that came down the runway was better than the last. I was really disappointed that more people didn't wear the Prabal Gurung Fall/Winter 2015 RTW collection, but I don't think that we are going to have a problem seeing any of this collection on the backs of celebrities on the red carpet. There are so many looks that are just screaming to be worn to film festivals, movie premieres, and awards shows. While my love for the now infamous bacon dress refuses to falter, my favorite look in the collection was the orange finale halter gown with its flowing layered chiffon skirt. Elizabeth Banks LOVES orange and the final promo tour for "The Hunger Games" saga is coming up, someone get this gown to her stat for one of the premieres!

#TIFF2015: "Black Mass," "Forsaken," "Families," & "Brooklyn" Premieres Wish List

Dakota Johnson is going to have a busy few weeks come the end of August and the beginning of September. She has two films premiering at the Venice Film Festival then she will jet to Toronto where her film "Black Mass" is going to be presented at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. "Black Mass" is premiering at the festival as a special presentation which means that it most likely wont be as formal a premiere as a Gala. With that in mind it is still a major premiere at a major film festival so couture is expected. I picked this black Chanel Fall 2015 Couture flapper-esque cocktail dress for Dakota to wear on the red carpet because I think that this is a look that she has yet to try out on the red carpet and I do think that she would look amazing in this piece. Dakota attended the New York special presentation on the Chanel Pre-Fall 2015 collection and then wore a Chanel Couture mini dress to this years Met Gala so there is already a standing relationship between the two. I would finish this look off rather simply with a red lip, a wavy bob, simple black Christian Louboutin sandals, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings to keep in that vintage look that the dress holds.

Demi Moore stars alongside Kiefer Sutherland and Donald Sutherland in the film "Forsaken," which has a gala premiere slot at this years Toronto International Film Festival. It has been a hot minute since we have seen Demi on the red carpet and I gotta say that I am looking forward to what she might bring to the red carpet. I picked this black Prabal Gurung Resort 2016 lurex cable jacquard sleeveless gown which features a cable pattern flecked with metallic in an a-line silhouette with a square neckline and tulip high-low hem for Demi to wear for this premiere. It is a simple yet elegant statement for Demi to make on her red carpet return in a designer whom she helped launch the career of. I think that this is just dramatic enough for TIFF without being too over the top. I pray to the hair gods that Demi wears her hair up and back to showcase the neckline of this gown and I will forgive what I am sure will be a pair of boring black pumps worn with this dress.

Former fashion model turned actress Gemma Chan has been working the red carpet scene quite well recently, making splashes representing British designers mostly on her red carpet outings. Gemma will be in Toronto promoting her film "Families" and I can not wait to see what she will wear as it is expecting to be a chic colorful statement. I picked this Mary Katrantzou Resort 2016 'Amsonia" gown. This silk crepe gown features a square neck, front crossing straps and multicolor accordion pleat details coming from the front darts creating a relaxed silhouette perfect for a special presentation premiere. I would further the pops of color with a pink lip, pink sandals, and add a gold clutch for a metallic pop to ensure that no one will dull Gemma's shine.

Rounding out today's first set of wishes for the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival is Saoirse Ronan who will be presenting her film "Brooklyn" in a special presentation slot at the festival. The 21 year old Irish actress definitely marches to the beat of her own drum on the red carpet picking looks that most would fear to wear on the red carpet and I am hoping that she keeps up her avant garde look at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. With that in mind I picked this peacock like Chanel Spring 2014 Couture feathered cocktail dress. I honestly think that this dress screams for Saoirse to wear it on the red carpet and TIFF is the perfect platform to be able to do so. With such a bold dress a simple pair of black sandals, a sleek bun, and fresh faced makeup will ensure that Saoirse knocks this look out on the red carpet.
