#Oscars 2016: Final Ladies Red Carpet Wish List Round-Up

Will we see Angelina Jolie on Oscar night? I think that is the question that is on almost every red carpet correspondents mind. Brad Pitt is nominated as a producer of Best Picture nominee The Big Short, so I would love to see her on the red carpet supporting him. The moment I saw this Atelier Versace Spring 2016 Couture gown take to the runway back in January it has been on my mind for Angelina and I wanted to make a post about it before a model gets their hands on it for one of the Oscar parties, Met Ball, or the Cannes Film Festival. I think that this regal, yet still sexy, look is something that Angie would be immediately drawn to. I would imagine that Angelina would have the skirt lined as I don't see her rocking the naked dress trend. Finish the look with a pair of diamond drop earrings, old Hollywood waves, a red lip, and a pair of gold pumps and Angie would have a major red carpet moment as Brad's plus one at the Oscars.

Chrissy Teigan is always fabulous on the red carpet so I am really excited to see what she will rock on the red carpet Sunday night at the Academy Awards. Thus far all of Chrissy's maternity looks on the red carpet have been very fitted over her bump. I would love to see her switch that up and wear something floaty and ethereal like this mint Georges Hobeika Spring 2016 Couture gown which features a beaded blouse, a chiffon skirt with a dramatic train, and a sky high thigh split. Last year Chrissy also wore a gown with a sexy split and gave us a lot of Angelina leg but I would hope to see the expectant mother just flash a little leg. I think a little goes a long way. A chic updo, light pink lip, mint Marchesa jeweled clutch, a simple pair of gold sandals, and diamond drop earrings will ensure that Chrissy has a beautiful red carpet moment.

Jennifer Garner is one of the seasoned celebrity presenters for Sunday nights Academy Awards. I have failed to get excited about one of Jennifer's red carpet looks since her separation from Ben Affleck and I am very intrigued to see what she will show up wearing. I would love to see Jennifer show up on the red carpet at the Oscars wearing this sparking purple Carolina Herrera Fall 2016 RTW sleeveless gown. I think that this rich purple color would look absolutely amazing on Jennifer, who tends to stick to black on the red carpet. I think that as a presenter this gown is perfect look as not to take away from the nights nominees. A purple clutch, a pair of black pumps, a chic updo, and diamond cluster earrings will ensure that Jennifer returns to her full red carpet potential.

From an Oscars veteran to the new girl on the scene. Priyanka Chopra burst onto the Hollywood scene last year after taking a role on the ABC series Quantico, after being a huge star in Bollywood. Now Priyanka is currently filming her first American blockbuster with the Baywatch reboot. For the Oscars on Sunday night I would love to see Priyanka take to the red carpet wearing this blue Elie Saab Spring 2016 Couture embroidered sari inspired gown on the red carpet. Priyanka's first major awards show red carpet ensemble at the SAG Awards came across more like a pageant ensemble than a Hollywood red carpet moment and I am hoping she has learned from that. While I would love to see Priyanka wearing this Elie Saab Couture gown I am afraid that it appropriates her Indian heritage and that would make her shy away from wearing it, but I think that it meshes her heritage and Hollywood perfectly for the Oscars red carpet. A sleek bun, red lip, silver clutch, a pair of silver sandals, and diamond drop earrings would ensure that Priyanka holds her own against some of the most seasoned glamizons on the Oscars red carpet.

Rounding out the ladies wishes for the 2016 Academy Awards on Sunday night is Sofia Vergara. While Sofia is almost always spotted at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party this is the first time that the Colombian actress will step foot on the Oscars red carpet. When it comes to Sofia's style it is usually very predictable, and while I am hoping we see something a little different, I picked a gown that falls right into her wheelhouse. I picked this metallic J. Mendel Fall 2016 RTW strapless draped peplum column gown with a sexy split which is in a color that is almost a chameleon which can go silver, grey black, or gold. While I hope for something dramatic and custom made from Marchesa, Vera Wang, or Roberto Cavalli I do think that Sofia would look beautiful in this gown. A pair of black peep toe pumps, a black & gold Edie Parker clutch, pin straight locks, and a smokey eye would ensure that Sofia has a beautiful red carpet moment for her first Oscars.

2016 People's Choice Awards Red Carpet Roundup

So last night the first televised awards show of the year kicked off, the People's Choice Awards. I am not going to spend too much time because this red carpet was a mishmosh of crap with a few hidden gems. The big surprise for me was just how many women showed up wearing full on gowns when the dress code for the People's Choice Awards is usually much more relaxed casual/cocktail attire. My favorite look of the night was Kate Hudson in her cream Stella McCartney tuxedo jumpsuit followed by Dakota Johnson in Armani Prive Spring 2014 Couture. Surprise favorites were Meghan Trainor in Balmain Fall 2015 RTW and Kat Graham in David Koma. I was disappointed in Priyanka Chopra as her Vera Wang Spring 2016 RTW dress reminded me of a major Carey Mulligan in Prada moment from a few Met Gala's ago, and Carey wore it better. Everyone else failed to excite. My worst dressed at the event was Keke Palmer who looked like she was auditioning for a role on the next Star Wars film with her rat tail/Jedi braid and Yousef Al Jasmi Spring 2016 Couture top and skirt which looks like something leftover from the 80's. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come this year.

2016 Peoples Choice Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 3

Continuing with today's 2016 People's Choice Awards wish lists I m going to continue with my wish for the stunning Kerry Washington. Kerry has always been one of my favorite ladies to see on the red carpet (she was another of the ladies who made it on to my Best Dressed of the Year list) and I am sure that she will slay the red carpet next Wednesday at the People's Choice Awards (if she attends.) Nominated for Favorite Dramatic TV Actress, I would love to see Kerry wear this amazing multicolored floral Jason Wu Spring 2016 RTW halter dress. I love the flirty volume added to this dress by the amazing voluminous ruffles. This perfect look would be finished off with a pair of pink sandals and a gold Edie Parker clutch to make it just that much more elegant.

Not many women would be able to make couture work on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards but Lady Gaga is one of the few that could. Nominated for Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy actress thanks to her amazing work on American Horror Story: Hotel. At the close of 2015 it has been a lot of Brandon Maxwell (Gaga's friend and stylist turned designer) on the back of Gaga and I am excited to see what she has in store for 2016. I think that Gaga would look amazing wearing this 3D floral embroidered Giambattista Valli Fall 2015 Couture ensemble which consists of a feather embellished tunic top and a pair of wide leg pants. This is a chic, edgy ensemble is perfect for Gaga who is about the only person that I can picture wearing this ensemble. A pair of platform sandals, chic updo, and a red lip would ensure that Gaga kills the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards.

I am about over seeing Lea Michele on the red carpet but alas she is nominated for Favorite Actress in a New TV Series and is presenting at the People's Choice Awards, so she will be on hand. I picked this long sleeve Zuhair Murad Fall 2015 Couture celestial embellished mini-dress for Lea because I feel like it is where she is with her red carpet style. A while ago I would have had wished for chic Elie Saab or Zac Posen moments but I don't think that she is there anymore. Lea has potential to make for a major red carpet being but she has gotten lost. This would make for a very pretty look finished with a pair of black crystal embellished pumps and a red lip.

Like Lea, Priyanka Chopra is nominated at the People's Choice Awards for Favorite Actress in a New TV Series and is presenting. Priyanka has started to make waves in the fashion world for her bold choices for the red carpet and I am really excited to see what she is going to bring to the table. I think that this mint blue Cushnie et Ochs Spring 2016 RTW silk shawl dress would be a chic elegant way for Priyanka to show up now that she has a following from her hit series Quantico. A pair of black and white Sophia Webster sandals to add a statement and a red lip will ensure that Priyanka kills the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards.

After wowing me in 2014 I was really surprised by how underwhelming Shailene Woodley was for me. I am hoping that 2016 will see her back on top form. At the People's Choice Awards next week I would love to see Shailene, who's nominated for Favorite Action Movie Actress, Mugler Spring 2016 RTW ensemble. I love that this ensemble, which consists of a navy blue sweater with a large pocket and military buttons down one sleeve and a navy metal embellished asymmetrical skirt, and I think that this gown would be event appropriate and fabulous. Shailene is not known for her feminine style and this look mixes femininity with a whole lot of edge. Finish the look with a pair of black and silver Giuseppe Zanotti pumps and simple hair and makeup and Shailene will work this red carpet.
