2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards: Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a TV Movie or Miniseries Nominee Wish List

I am super excited that Christina Ricci is nominated for Screen Actors Guild Award on Sunday as she is one lady that I love to see on the red carpet and I can't wait to see what she is going to wear. Nominated for Outstanding Performance by and Actress in a TV Movie or Miniseries for playing famed murderess Lizzy Borden in the Lifetime miniseries The Lizzy Borden Chronicles. I would love to see Christina wearing this red and navy Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2016 gown rendered in novelty jacquard and features a sheath silhouette with contoured piping details and metallic accents. I think that this chic dark look evokes the dark within her character and is something that Christina would look absolutely chic wearing on the red carpet. Finished with a red Rauwolf 'Brutalist' clutch, a pair of navy satin sandals, classic old Hollywood beauty, and a pair of diamond drop earrings and I would be ensured that Christina would make this a memorable red carpet moment.
Kristen Wiig is nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a TV Movie or Miniseries thanks to her performance in the Miniseries The Spoils Before Dying. I have never been a huge fan of Kristen on the red carpet. I find her style boring or too twee and I am hoping for something a little different from her on Sunday. I think that Kirsten would gravitate towards this nior J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2016 gown rendered in silk and features a sheath silhouette with a jewel neckline, beaded embroidery throughout the bodice and pleated detailing and I believe that it would be a good red carpet moment for her. The dress is chic and grown-up and despite being completely covered I still think that this gown would be incredibly sexy on Kristen. The embellishments on the neck, shoulder, waist, bodice, and wrists keep this look from being bland and boring. I always advocate that if you are going to wear all black at least have some sort of visual interest and this gown has it. A black clutch, a pair of black sandals, a red lip, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings will ensure that this is a beautiful red carpet moment on Kristen at the SAG Awards. 
How Nicole Kidman received a nomination for the Big Screen flop to Lifetime film Grace of Monaco over some of the other performances this year is beyond my mind. While I am excited to see what Nicole is going to wear on the red carpet I am disappointed that someone like Lady Gaga for American Horror Story: Hotel is not nominated in her place. Recently it has been either love or loathe with Nicole's choices for the red carpet and I am hoping that Sunday she gives me something that I can firmly put in the love category. I picked this navy blue Alexis Mabille Pre-Fall 2016 long sleeved gown which features a beautiful long flowing train and an open lace covered back for Nicole to wear on the SAG Awards red carpet because it is chic and simple and I think that is what Nicole is in need of to get back in my good graces. A vintage inspired faux bob, a pair of matching peep toe pumps, a matching clutch, a red lip, and a pair of dazzling diamond drop earrings would round out the perfect styling to ensure that Nicole is in perfect form on the red carpet.
My last wish for today is for the nominated star of the HBO movie Bessie, Queen Latifah. I am hoping that Queen Latifah returns to her beautiful edgy glam looks on the Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet on Sunday night. I picked this white one sleeved Christian Siriano Pre-Fall 2016 high neck fitted gown for her to wear because I think that this is the edgy glam look that I have been waiting to see Queen Latifah do on the red carpet. I think that with such a chic blank canvas that a statement clutch is needed I think a colorful blue Edie Parker 'Fiona' faceted tie-dye acrylic clutch added with a pair of silver sandals and a pair of diamond cluster earrings will ensure that Queen Latifah has an absolutely amazing moment on the SAG Awards red carpet.

2016 Golden Globe Awards: Best Performance by an Actress in a TV Movie or Miniseries Nominees Wish List

We are just 5 days away from the Golden Globe Awards! I am so excited to see all the amazing looks that are going to gracing the red carpets, today I am making my wishes for the very talented women who are nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a TV Movie or Miniseries. Up first is American Crime star Felicity Huffman. I can't honestly say that I am expecting Felicity to wow me, it has been a long time since that has happened, but I am sure that she will wear something very pretty. I think that this tangerine Jenny Packham Resort 2016 chiffon halter gown with a neck scarf would be a perfect choice for Felicity to make for this red carpet. I think that by choosing something in such an interesting color will keep me more interested than a dramatic gown in black (which is what I am expecting). I think that the color would compliment her skin tone, as well as her new darker hair. Finished with a  gold clutch, a chic up-do, pink lip, and a pair of gold pumps and this look will be exactly what Felicity needs to get me a little interested in her style again.
I am incredibly excited that Kirsten Dunst has earned a Golden Globe nomination, thanks to Fargo, not because I watch the show but because I love her on the red carpet. Kirsten knows how to work some of the brands known for their edgy designs like Rodarte, Chanel Couture, and Proenza Schouler on the red carpet and I am hoping that she brings one of those brands to the red carpet on Sunday. I would die if she showed up in this black and white Rodarte Spring 2016 RTW silk velvet lace gown with its stunning navy floral embroidery. I think that this gown reminds me of a bygone era and Kirsten is one of the few who I could picture making this gown work off the runway because of that vintage spirit she possesses. With her pale skin, a red lip, vintage inspired hair, diamond drop earrings, a white Edie Parker clutch, and a pair of silver sandals this look would just elevate to a whole other level of red carpet beauty.
I was a little shocked that Lady Gaga was actually nominated for her work on American Horror Story: Hotel, but I am very excited that she is going to be on hand. We have seen a more toned down, by Gaga standards at least, version of Lady Gaga since she has been on the show and I am pretty sure that more demure glam side will be out on display on Sunday night. I honestly predict that Gaga will be wearing a custom gown from one of her fabulous designer friends like Tom Ford, Brandon Maxwell, or Donatella Versace. I personally would love to see Gaga wearing this jet black Alexander Wang Pre-Fall 2016 crepe jersey gown which features a racer design neckline, a ruched bodice with grommeted leather trim, and a floor length pleated column skirt. While this look is very subtle, maybe a little too subtle for Gaga since she is actually nominated, I think that it has that rocker edge with the leather grommeted trim that it could make the cut. I think that if she took this look and went full Hollywood with old Hollywood waves, a red lip, diamond chandelier earrings, and a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps that Gaga would slay the Globes red carpet.
I find Queen Latifah to be a delight to see on the red carpet. She might stick to a small group of designers but she always look beautiful. I am hoping that the Bessie actress will really bring it to the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday and I think that she would do exactly that wearing this dark teal Zuhair Murad Fall 2015 Couture halter cape embellished gown. I think that any type of Zuhair Murad cape gown will be compared to JLo at last years Globes but I think that this gown is very different with its fitted sheath gown and cape sleeves. I feel like this is a statement that Queen Latifah has never made on the red carpet and I think that it has a lot of red carpet potential. Finished with a gold clutch, a pair of gold peep toe pumps, chic up-do, and a fierce eye and this look will for sure keep Queen Latifah on the top of Best Dressed Lists. 

I will be live tweeting the Golden Globe Awards red carpet with my partner in snark Kelly from Dream In Lace on Sunday January 8, 2016 starting a 6pm. Make sure you check out Kelly's blog and then follow us both (@DreamInLace and @FutureStylist93) on Twitter. Join in on the snark and the fashion of the first major awards show of the year!

#Emmys2015: Oustanding Actress in a Lead Role in a Limited Series or Movie Nominee Wish List

I have to say that I am not expecting Felicity Huffman, nominated for "American Crime," on the red carpet at the 2015 Emmy Awards. I picked this white, black, & gold J. Mendel Fall 2015 RTW silk crepe scarf draped halter neck column gown. I think that this gown is perfect for Felicity for the Emmys as I think that this gown is simple, as she isn't expected to win, yet still sophisticated enough to wear if she does. Finish with a pair of gold sandals, a gold clutch, and pulled up hair and Felicity is ready for the Emmy Awards red carpet.
I love to see Maggie Gyllenhaal on the red carpet. I am always surprised by what she ends up wearing. I would go with something incredibly chic for the 2015 Emmy Awards. I think that this ivory and black Vionnet Resort 2016 draped column gown with its asymmetrical neckline is something that a modern day Jackie-O would wear and is a perfect gown to wear for an awards show. A pair of gold sandals, a gold Edie Parker clutch, pop of color via precious stone Bulgari earrings inlaid in yellow gold, and a red lip and Maggie will be red carpet ready and one of my favorite looks of the night in this Vionnet ensemble.
Queen Latifah is producing some awards buzz around her HBO movie "Bessie," so I am sure that the actress will show up on the Emmy Awards red carpet working it. I have to say that when Georges Chakra and the Queen work together on a red carpet look that it usually results in magic, I mean I predicted that she would wear the red gown that she wore to the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party (though it was green on the runway). I picked this Georges Chakra Fall 2015 RTW gown which features a black and grey geometric sequined bodice and a simple black silk crepe skirt. I think that this gown on Queen Latifah would just hug, and accentuate, her famous curves. Finished with a pair of dazzling diamond chandelier earrings, a black Edie Parker clutch, a pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals, chic old Hollywood waves draped over one shoulder, and a red lip and Queen Latifah is ready to accept and Emmy in style.

I will be live tweeting this years Emmy Awards red carpet and telecast with Kelly from Dream In Lace on September 20. I hope you will follow me and Kelly on Twitter and join in on the conversation! I am excited as this is our awards tradition now, so pop your bubbly and join in the fun.

2014 Hollywood Film Awards: Hostess Queen Latifah Wish List

It has been a very long time since we have seen Queen Latifah out on a red carpet. Well on Friday the Queen will host the television debut of the Hollywood Film awards. Having several hosting experiences under her belt; the People Choice Awards, the Grammy Awards, and her own talk show The Queen Latifah Show are just some of the shows on her hosting resume. When it comes to her style she defiantly knows how to clean up and I am expecting some stunning red carpet moments at the Hollywood Film Awards. On the red carpet prior to the start of the telecast I would love to see Queen Latifah wear this stunning white Zuhair Murad Fall 2014 Couture long sleeved gown with an embroidered bodice. This gown would hug all of Queen Latifah's famous curves and put her on the same level of dressing as the honorees and presenters. To start the show I would have Queen Latifah change into this jade colored Georges Chakra Spring 2015 RTW embellished one shoulder gown with a sexy thigh high split. Georges and Latifah have had a good relationship in the past and I am betting that at least one look during the night is designed by him. Finally we have this stunning sunshine yellow Jenny Packham Resort 2015 chiffon gown. I think that this gown is more flowy than the other gowns that I have picked but would imagine that this would look stunning as Queen Latifah works the stage for her hostess duties.
