2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish List Part 12

Heidi Klum is always at every red carpet so when I saw Heidi's name on the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party event co-chairs list I rolled my eyes a little. Heidi rarely gives me a look to love on the red carpet and I don't have very high expectations for her next Sunday night. I picked this white Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture gown for Heidi to wear, as the dress checks all her typical boxes. Sexy, fitted, and Versace. As long as Heidi doesn't show up in a feathered look that likens to a mawled old Muppet, I think that I will be okay with just writing her off.

At 16 Kiernan Shipka is already cemented as a fashion "IT" girl rocking couture and custom looks from some of the worlds most coveted and avant garde designers. I am wondering if Kiernan will be out on Oscar night, as I really hope she is, just to add a dose of avant garde glamour to the red carpet. One of Kiernan's favorite brands to wear on the red carpet is Delpozo, whom just presented their Fall 2016 RTW collection at New York Fashion Week, and I am hoping that Kiernan is the first to get her hands on a look from the collection. I picked this strapless cocktail ensemble which features a bold blue bustier and full embroidered skirt for Kiernan to wear on the Vanity Fair red carpet. Kiernan is one of the few that I can picture taking this dress and making it work on the red carpet. A bold blue clutch and gold sandals would be the perfect accessories for this red carpet ensemble.

Olivia Munn just hosted the Academy Scientific/Technical Awards and will be on hand at the main show to present a segment about those awards. I figure that Olivia will make her way from the Dolby theater to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party after the show has concluded. Next week you will see what fabulous Michael Kors ensemble that I would love to see Olivia wear on the main red carpet but for the after party I would love to see Olivia go for something really fun yet glamorous. I think that this gold sequined long sleeve Naeem Khan Fall 2016 RTW jumpsuit with a plunging neckline would be a very fun different look for Olivia to wear on the Vanity Fair red carpet. A lot of stars go as big as they would for the main show at Vanity Fair but I think that this jumpsuit is a more modern glam look, and something a little more relaxed after a major gown at the main show. A gold Rauwolf clutch, a pair of gold pumps, old Hollywood waves, yellow gold set diamond cluster earrings, and a red lip would give this look a disco glam vibe for the Vanity Fair red carpet.

With her film Mad Max: Fury Road being nominated for Best Picture we are sure to see Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on the red carpets of Oscar night, most likely at Vanity Fair. For her Oscar night ensemble I would love to see Rosie wearing this midnight blue and purple Armani Prive Fall 2015 Couture strapless sequined gown which I kind of equate with an oil slick. I think that this is a chic glam moment for Rosie and if anyone can turn a glam gown and give it a punch of sex appeal it would be the former Victoria's Secret angel. Hollywood red carpets tend to call for every glam looks and Rosie knows how to deliver on that front. A navy Edie Parker clutch, a pair of black sandals, glam waves, a red lip, and diamond drop earrings would finish this look off perfectly for Rosie.

Rounding out this post is CREED star Tessa Thompson who is now considered an "IT" girl thanks to her status as a muse for Rodarte. The stunning actress was perched front row at the Rodarte Fall 2016 RTW presentation, no doubt shopping for a red carpet look for Oscar night. I would love to see Tessa wearing this wine Rodarte Fall 2016 RTW lace floral embroidered gown. Not many would be able to make this look work on a red carpet but I believe that Tessa would be able to rock this look with ease. I would love to see Tessa style her hair into a bun of braids, a wine lip, and black sandals to give this look a modern "IT" girl red carpet moment.

2016 BAFTA Awards Red Carpet Wish List Part 2

I don't actually know if Gugu Mbatha-Raw will take to the red carpet at the 2016 BAFTA Awards on Sunday night, but since she was on hand to announce the nominations I would say that the chances are pretty strong. Gugu is one of my favorite ladies to see on the red carpet because she is so chic and lady like with all of her red carpet outings. I would absolutely adore seeing Gugu wearing this lilac Armani Prive Spring 2016 Couture straplesses gown with a visual bodice and and textured column skirt. This gown is one of my absolute favorite looks from the Armani Prive Spring 2016 Couture collection and I am hoping that someone snatches it up for a red carpet and I think that Gugu would look absolutely amazing wearing this gown. Hair styled in natural curls, a pink lip, silver clutch, silver sandals, and a pair of diamond drop earrings would ensure that she will glow on the red carpet.

Kate Winslet still hasn't given me any surprises in her red carpet options, except that she hasn't worn black yet. All of her looks have been extremely fitted with a little flare at the bottom, her signature, and I am not expecting to see that change any time soon. I picked this strapless Alexis Mabille Spring 2016 Couture fitted tuxedo inspired gown for Kate to wear on the red carpet at the BAFTA Awards because it adds a little visual interest to her rather plain and boring style. Finish this look with a sleek up do, a pair of diamond drop earrings, a red lip, and a pair of black satin peep toe pumps and Kate will have another sophisticated red carpet look on her hands.

My wish for Rooney Mara to wear this black, white, and navy Rodarte Spring 2016 RTW gown is definitely quite out there for the star who tends to stick to head to toe black, white, or nude. Rooney has not given me a single red carpet look this awards season that I have actually liked but I think that if she paired up with this Rodarte gown that she could have a showstopping moment on the red carpet. I think that the style of this silk velvet lace gown is perfect and the addition of the asymmetric neck with a single shoulder design, silk leaf embroidery cascading across the bodice, and a floor length a-line silhouette with layers of sheer fringed lace around the hem that Rooney would look stunning. I don't know why I have not thought of pairing Rooney and Rodarte before but then again she does stick to her small arsenal of designers which include Givenchy, Chanel, Alexander McQueen, and Lanvin. This gown needs a chic sleek chignon, a red lip, and a pair of black sandals to allow for this statement gown to shine all on it's own on the red carpet.

Saoirse Ronan has been pretty but underwhelming all awards season for the most part and I am hoping that when she steps out for the BAFTA Awards that the Irish actress will deliver her best look yet. I think that this white Christian Dior Fall 2015 Couture sleeveless lace bodice and sheer chiffon skirted gown would be the perfect look for Saoirse to wear on the BAFTA red carpet on Sunday night. Classic glamour is definitely something that Saoirse has been trying to work recently and this look is more modern glam with a classic twist. The key to making this a standout red carpet look is all in the styling. I would style Saoirse's hair into Veronica Lake waves strewn over one shoulder, add a pink lip, diamond cluster earrings, and a pair of strappy silver sandals to keep this look chic and modern but still classic all at the same time.

2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards: Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Nominee Wish List

As I have continually said Brie Larson is my breakout star this awards season and I am excited to see what she is going to continue to wear on the red carpet's all the way through the Academy Awards. After the Critics Choice Awards tomorrow night the next stop on the race to the Oscars are the Screen Actors Guild Awards which are a week from tomorrow on January 31, 2016. Brie is a front runner to take home the SAG Award and I am hoping she dresses to fit that possibility. I picked this black Marchesa Pre-Fall 2016 gown rendered in beaded lace with tulle and features a column silhouette with a scalloped square neckline, a fitted bodice, and tiered ruffles along the skirt. I think that this is a romantic look for Brie who has been wearing a lot of more modern glam type of look on the red carpet and honestly I think it would compliment the green patinaed bronze SAG statue that she has a great possibility of taking home. Finish this look with sleek hair, a black satin clutch, and a pair of gold sandals and Brie will have a perfect SAG Awards red carpet look.

I am hoping that Cate Blanchett shows up on the SAG Awards red carpet and makes me say wow again. I haven't had a moment where I have said WOW when Cate shows up on the red carpet in a very long time and I am ready to have that moment again. I picked this blue and purple oil slick Armani Prive Fall 2015 Couture strapless sequined gown for Cate as I think that this is something I have never seen from her before and I really think that this gown is perfect for her. I tend to like when Cate wears darker colors as they pop against her alabaster skin tone and I can just picture the contrast of this gown on her glowing skin. My only downside of this gown is it reminds me a bit of the Dior Couture gown that Jennifer Lawrence wore to the SAG Awards in 2014, so that could deter Cate from wearing this gown for the SAG Awards this year. But alas I am still hopeful. A navy blue clutch, a pair of navy peep toe pumps, dazzling multicolored tanzanite and diamond Chopard drop earrings, & a smokey eye would ensure that Cate makes my jaw drop when on her arrival at the SAG Awards.

Helen Mirren is a double nominee at the 2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture for The Woman In Gold and Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for Trumbo. I am excited to see what Helen is going to wear on the red carpet as she is usually so extremely elegant. I can totally picture Helen wearing this ink blue Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2016 long sleeve lace bodice and silk fit and flare skirt. This gown shows off Helen's twins which she defies societal norms of putting them away at almost 80, but I say if you look that good at her age then you should flaunt it too. A pair of Harry Winston diamond and sapphire pendant earrings, a navy clutch, a pair of navy pumps, and a red lip would ensure that Helen makes sure everyone knows she is a double nominee and don't you forget it.

I have been on an up and down roller coaster with Saoirse Ronan with her red carpet style, but I am hoping that after her Golden Globe Awards red carpet triumph and coming off her Academy Award nomination that her red carpet style will stay on top form. I would love to see Saoirse wearing something a little more fun on the red carpet like this nude Rodarte Fall 2015 RTW embroidered and feather embellished gown. There are not many women that I can picture wearing this gown and not getting overwhelmed and Saoirse is one of the few who I can. Saoirse knows how to make more complicated avant garde red carpet styles work off the runway and on the red carpet. With such a complicated gown the styling really should be kept simple with a pair of champagne colored peep toe pumps, fresh faced makeup, and a chic updo so her hair won't compete with the feathers on the shoulders. All that would make this a look that I could fall in love with.

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!

2016 National Board of Review Awards Gala Red Carpet Wish List

Brie Larson might end up being the celebrated underdog this season on the red carpets. When I looked back at Brie's red carpet looks over 2015 they were very underwhelming or total hot messes to me, up until the end. I am hoping that Brie is able to really bring it during awards season so that she can show that she can hang with the other women with whom she is nominated. On the eve of the People's Choice Awards in New York City Brie will take to the red carpet at the National Board of Review Awards Gala where she is going to be honored with the Best Actress award for her work in Room. Having worn Rodarte twice while promoting the film it would surprise me if Brie doesn't wear the brand at least once while making the Awards Season rounds. I picked this black, white, and orange floral hand beaded lace flutter sleeve dress from the Rodarte Spring 2016 RTW collection for Brie to wear on this red carpet. I love the shape and all of the hand beaded floral details and I think that Brie would look phenomenal wearing this creation. With such a statement dress all that would be needed to finish this look off would be a pair of simple black sandals, hair worn up so it wont compete with the dress, and a fresh face of makeup.

I decided to include Charlize Theron on this list because she is the lead in the National Board of Review's best film award winner Mad Max: Fury Road. I am uber excited to see what Charlize is going to bring to the table over the course of awards season as she, and Mad Max, have been garnering a lot of awards buzz. For this red carpet since it really isn't her night I picked this black Lanvin Spring 2016 RTW gown with a nude satin corseted body suit. I might get a little slack for picking this since Cate Blanchett has already worn a shorter green version on a red carpet, but I think that since the draping and color and length are all different why not. I think that Charlize would take this look and breath a sense of effortless glamour to the red carpet at the National Board of Review awards gala red carpet. A pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps, slicked back hair, a red lip, and a black Edie Parker clutch would finish this look off in spectacular fashion.

Emily Blunt stared in one of the National Board of Review's top films of the year Sicario, which is also being honored with the Spotlight Award for outstanding creative vision. If Emily jets to NYC to attend this event I would love to see her doing so in subtly elegant style wearing this Oscar de la Renta Spring 2016 RTW black cocktail dress which features a sheath silhouette with a defined sweetheart neckline, a cutout at the bodice, and a beaded embroidered skirt. Emily is always a delight to see on the red carpet and this sweet sensual ensemble would be no exception. I would add a pair of pink pumps to add to the romanticism of this look; hair worn up, a pink lip, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings would just finish this look off perfectly.

Its National Board of Review top film The Martian that I am hoping will mean a turn out from Jessica Chastain at the awards gala next Tuesday. I don't know why but when I picked the looks for this post I was feeling everyone in black, which is unusual because I love it when stars step out of the LBD. I guess it is because these women know how to make a little black dress anything but basic. I would love to see Jessica wear this Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2016 RTW pencil dress with its embroidered netting on the shoulders and at the top of the bodice. This is a very standard Dolce dress but I think that with Jessica's movie star presence a pair of killer black crystal embellished Christian Louboutin 'Top Vague' pointed toe pumps, a pair of diamond and sapphire drop earrings, old Hollywood waves, a diamond cocktail ring, and a red lip that this would be one for her record books.

Many will be surprised that I am featuring a little menswear in this post, but some of the leading men in Hollywood are starting to get their sartorial style noticed. Michael B. Jordan has been one of the men that has given my 4 time Best Dressed Man of the Year Eddie Redmayne a run for his money, will this year be the year that Eddie falls? It will remain to be seen. I am hoping that Michael will be at the National Board of Review Awards Gala because his Rocky spin off Creed is one of the top films of the year and his co-star Sylvester Stallone is being honored with the Best Supporting Actor award. I would love to see Michael wearing this bold red Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2016 Menswear suit, which was paired with a black button down for the presentation and I would keep for this red carpet. I would just add a black and white micro polka dotted skinny tie, and a pair of black patent leather Christian Louboutin lace up oxfords to finish this look off perfectly for this red carpet.

Runway Report: Rodarte Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

Rodarte Spring/Summer 2016 RTW was one of my absolute favorite collections shown during New York Fashion Week. They embodied the big trend of fall dressing for spring. It will be interesting to see how these clothes, especially the fur coats, will work their way into the Rodarte girls wardrobe for spring. There were many eras that I saw referenced in this collection. There was the 1970's Studio 54 disco glam, 20's flappers, & Victorian romance that all played factors in creating this stunning collection. If Vogue were to throw a chic Halloween gala, I would be clamouring to get my hands on this collection so that I could be the chicest flapper in the room. Aside from being great for costumes I can see that Rodarte devotees like Natalie Portman, Bella Heathcote, Keira Knightley, & Rooney Mara all have many looks that they can rock on the red carpet. Can we get Rooney in the black and white lace finale dress for something ASAP? As always it will take a very confident and eccentric woman to wear this Rodarte collection but what Kate and Laura Mulleavy have put together is just utter glamour and drama and I can't wait to see it on the red carpet.

See all my favorite looks from Spring/Summer 2016 over on Pinterest.

#Cannes2015: "A Tale of Love and Darkness" Premiere Wish List

 

Natalie Portman will make her directorial debut at this years Cannes Film Festival with her film "A Tale of Love and Darkness" earning a special screening slot at the festival. The Christian Dior spokesmodel is contractually obligated to wear at least lone look from the brand during the Cannes Film Festival and I would like to see her get it over with during the films photocall. This simple black dress lined in powder blue from the Christian Dior Fall 2015 RTW with neckline cutouts and a slight rise and fall hem would be perfect for a photocall outside on a terrace overlooking the French Riviera. It has been a real hot minute since we have seen Natalie Portman wear a look designed by the Mulleavy sister for Rodarte. Natalie used to wear the brands creations on a daily basis but since her Academy Award win in 2011 we have not seen Natalie wear one of the brands signature avant garde creations. For the "A Tale of Love and Darkness" premiere I would love to see Natalie rock this avant garde feathered creation from the Rodarte Fall 2015 RTW collection. Not many would be able to pull off such a complicated ensemble but I think that with a chic updo, a pair of gold sandals, and a small gold Dior clutch that Natalie would be a vision wearing this creation.

2015 Tribeca Film Festival: "Franny" Premiere Wish List

On Friday night Dakota Fanning's newest film "Franny," which co-stars Richard Gere & Theo James, will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. I love Tribeca because the stars just show up "laid back." Well I kinda want to see Dakota look a little more than laid back on the Tribeca red carpet wearing something other than nude or black. I would love to see Dakota wear this Mardi Gras colored Rodarte Fall 2015 RTW striped sequin sleeveless knee length dress. Dakota always looks fantastic in the Mulleavy sisters creations and I think that this would no doubt be one of her best looks in recent appearances. This look is all about the color. I would even see this look with nice combed hair down, a black clutch and a pair of black Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals to ensure that Dakota rocks the red carpet at the Tribeca Film Festival.

2014 London Film Festival: "Testament of Youth" Premiere Wish List

The other film that Alicia Vikander will be premiering at the 2014 London Film Festival is "Testament of Youth." This film is being premiered as a centerpiece gala and I really hope that she BRINGS it for this premiere. The very first look that we ever saw Alicia wear on the red carpet was a Rodarte gown at the "Anna Karenina" LA Premiere back in 2012. Since then Alicia has not graced the red carpet in one of the houses stunning designs and I think that it is time that that changed. I picked this stunning Rodarte Spring 2014 RTW black and purple that features a sequin embroidered bodice with wave-inspired, embroidered overlay, a black net skirt with hand crochet metal net overlay and Swarovski crystal and pearl beading embellishment throughout. This gown moved stunningly on the runway and I cannot wait for it to make a red carpet appearance. I would finish the look with a simple updo, diamond studs, fresh faced makeup, a purple Edie Parker clutch, and black Stuart Weitzman nudist sandals to ensure that this ensemble is red carpet ready.

2014 LA Film Festival: "The Two Faces of January" Gala Premiere Wish List

Kirsten Dunst worked a Vivienne Westwood black cocktail dress for the "Two Faces of January" London premiere last month. On Tuesday Kirsten will present the film at the LA Film Festival and I am hoping for another amazing red carpet appearance from Kirsten. For the 2014 Met Ball Kirsten worked a "Star Wars" themed gown from her favorite designers Rodarte and I am hoping that she will pull another look from this collection for this premiere. This one shouldered black Rodarte Fall 2014 RTW cocktail dress is a perfect option for Kirsten to wear for this Gala premiere. I would finish the look with a bold red lip and a pair of black Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals to give this a perfect old Hollywood twist on this modern edgy dress.

2013 Met Ball: Repeat Guests Wish List Part 3

2012 London FIlm Festival: 'Ginger and Rosa' Competition Premiere

Elle Fanning is one of the rising stars on the red carpet who already has the keys to the Valentino Couture closet and has been the star of both Marc by Marc Jacobs and Rodarte's AD campaign. Well I would love to see her wear this green strapless cocktail dress from the Rodarte Spring 2013 RTW collection. I am kinda in love with all the potential in this dress had to look amazing on the red carpet. Some of you are probably wondering why I said strapless green dress when you seen blue and grey long sleeves on the runway and that is because they paired the dress with the contrasting shirt underneath. I would obviously tell her to wear just the strapless dress. Pair this with a cute gold Edie Parker clutch and a pair of the Miu Miu gold glitter mary jane pumps to complete the youthful red carpet look.

While being incredibly boring Christina Hendricks looked amazingly elegant at the 'Ginger and Rosa' premiere during the Toronto Film Festival and then looked a crazy mess at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards last weekend. Well for the London Film Festival, I am excited to see what the 'Mad Men' star has in store for us because she is actually putting forth a great effort into looking amazing. I would love to see her wear this Christian Siriano Spring 2013 RTW kimono style dress in a deep cerulean blue. It is not often that I change up what the dress on the runway looks like in comparison to what I wish for but knowing that Christian and Christina have a past relationship of changing up runway gowns together then I stand firm because the white would just was her out. Pair the look with a small Jimmy Choo tube clutch in pewter silver and a pair of silver peep toe pumps to match and there is a recipe for a look that I am bound to fall in love with.

2012 Toronto Film Festival: Premiere Wish List Part 2

Chinese Actress Zhang Ziyi of 'Memoirs of a Geisha' and 'Rush Hour 2' fame to those in the USA will be screening her latest film 'Dangerous Liaison' based on the 1782 novel of the same name by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. When Zhang was nominated for a Golden Globe she wore Armani Prive and then for the SAG Awards she wore Giorgio Armani and then for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party wore a stunning Valentino Couture gown. In Toronto you can get away with a stunning cocktail look or a simple gown and I have obviously opted for the later. Well for this year at the Toronto Film Festival I would love to see Zhang wear this stunning fully beaded Ralph Lauren Fall 2012 RTW spaghetti strap gown sans the runway jacket of course. Zhang first wore Ralph Lauren to the Ralph Lauren Vintage Cars Exhibition Launch Gala Dinner and then again for the premiere of her film 'The Devil Inside Me' in Shanghai so I think that this gold gown would be the perfect choice for the star. A gold Edie Parker clutch and some gold strappy sandals would be all needed to complete this stunning look.

Anna Kendrick continues to be one that I can not decide if I like or dislike on the red carpet wearing some things that are uber fabulous like Elie Saab Haute Couture but then she gives the rather cheap looking ensembles for other events. I know that she can not live in couture but others do dressed down rather well. For the 2012 Tornonto Film Festival I want Anna to wear this dusty raspberry Georges Hobeika Fall 2012 Couture cocktail dress. Anna always looks amazing on the red carpet when she is dressed in custom or couture so here she goes. The color would look amazing with her skin and hair tones. I would keep the look simple with a pair of Jimmy Choo strappy sandals and NOT, the much loved by Anna, Brian Atwood 'Manic' pumps in nude and that's it to keep the look simple.

Like Anna, Cody Horn will be in Toronto to promote 'End of Watch' with their costars Jake Gyllenhaal and Michel Pena. At the 'Magic Mike' LA premiere Cody donned a mix of three Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012 Couture items to create her look and then continued down the sexy route at the ESPY Awards wearing Cushine et Ochs and I would like to see a softer side of her for this event. It is because of this that I have picked this light and airy bubble gum pink Jean Paul Gaultier Resort 2012 chiffon dress with a structured cap sleeve. I think that this is sweet but with an edge coming through those strong shoulders. Add a silver clutch and a silver pair strappy sandals to complete the look.

We really haven't seen much of Annette Bening since she was nominated at the 2010 Oscars and this year at the Toronto Film Festival she has two movies showing, the first being 'Ginger and Rosa.' For this premiere I would like Annette to resort back to the man that designed her Oscar gown, Naeem Khan and this stunning gold and black striped Resort 2013 with flapper hem fringe. I think that this would be a sophisticated age appropriate look for the 54 year old actress. I would add a structured fitted tuxedo blazer unbuttoned, a pair of kitten heel Jimmy Choo gold sandals, and a gold clutch to throw the look into total hollywood glamour.

I always have a hard time with Christina Hendricks on the red carpet becuase she never dresses for her body type. She had a large voluptuous figure and does not know how to dress for it. The example that she should always go by is the lilac Zac Posen gown she wore for the 2010 Emmy Awards, the look accentuated her waist and showed off her decolletage in a sophisticated non-constricting manor and these are the main issues that Christina has on the red carpet. For the Toronto Film Festival Premiere of 'Ginger and Rosa' I have chosen to put Christina in this wine colored Zac Posen Resort 2013 dress but with a few much needed improvement for her figure. First I would have the long sleeves turned into just a cap at the shoulder and then have the pencil skirt made to fit straight down from her waist and not pulling in anywhere. Because Christina is still trying to figure out how to dress her body we will complete the look with a pair of black Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps and a black Judith Leiber clutch.

Where all the eyes will be at the premiere of 'Ginger and Rosa' will really be is on 14 year old Elle Fanning. Elle made a huge splash on the red carpet two years ago making her red carpet debut wearing Marc Jacobs at the Venice Film Festival and continuing to wear amazing looks and becoming the face of Rodarte in 2011. I think that the star will wear a Rodarte ensemble as she has not worn one of their complicated avant garde looks in quite some time and she is on the very short list of stars that actually get to. I have chosen this black and clay colored long sleeved dress from the Rodarte Fall 2012 RTW collection. I think that this look is totally within Elle's style and would complement her new hair color amazingly. Add a simple pair of black peep toes by Jimmy Choo or Nicolas Kirkwood sandals and this look is complete keeping all foucus on the stunning design.

2012 Toronto Film Festival: Premiere Wish List Part One

Keira Knightley will be at the Toronto Film Festival to promote her film 'Anna Karenina' in which she plays the title role. There is a handful of designers that Keira will go to on the red carpet and for this event I would love to see Keira wear this gold brocade Burberry Prorsum Resort 2013 gown. In Toronto it is a much less formal of a red carpet than in Cannes or Venice so I think that this simple column gown would be perfect. I am sure she wont be far from Valentino by adding some nude Valentino pumps and some Chanel infused thru Chanel Fine Jewelry.

Taylor Shilling showed up on the red carpet early this year promoting 'The Lucky One' and will be in Toronto promoting, 'Argo.' I think that the actress should wear this vibrant Peter Pilotto Resort 2013 shift dress for the red carpet premiere of her film. Add a pair of blue sandals and an orange clutch to keep the look fashion forward.

Gemma Arterton showed up on the red carpet circuit in 2010 when she wore a stunning Valentino ball gown for the 'Prince of Persia' London premiere and continued looking amazing on the red carpet up until lately. She has had some unfortunate red carpet looks or just horrible styling. Well I am hoping she turns this all around for her Toronto Film Festival premiere of 'Byzantium.' This psychedelic print in pink, red purples, and silvers is complete beaded which doesn't really show in the pictures but on the video of the runway show the dress glittered all the way down the runway. I think that this color would look amazing on Gemma's tan skin and the silhouette would be simply elegant. Add a light pink satin clutch and a pair of gunmetal silver strappy sandals to keep the focus on the dress.

Also promoting 'Byzantium' will be Irish actress Saorise Ronan. Saoirse always goes for looks that are avant garde and by avant garde designers. Last year at the Toronto Film Festival she donned an archive Rodarte dress for her 'Violet & Daisy' premiere (pictured left) and I would like to see her dip into the current collection for her premiere this year. I think that this burgundy and cream Rodarte Fall 2012 RTW dress that has a flounce hem line paired with a matching burgundy waist band. A black pair of strappy sandals and a black clutch will finish this look off perfectly.

Last but not least for today we have a wish for Halle Berry to wear Badgley Mishka Resort 2013 for the premiere of 'Cloud Atlas.' Halle wears some looks that are sexy and not what one would usually think of for a 45 year old actress. She loves sheer panels, cut outs, low cuts, and extremely low backs. For this premiere I have stayed true to Halle's style by choosing this black sheath dress that have the lingerie inspired top, gold embroidery, and a sheer panel waist. Just pair this look with a pair of gold and black Brian Atwood peep toe pumps and a statement gold cuff to complete the minimalist look.

Cannes Film Festival: 'Lawless' Premiere Wish List

Jessica Chastain really let me down at the Met Ball wearing a flat out ugly Louis Vuitton gown, so I am hoping to see one of my new favorite red carpet divas redeem herself at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of her film 'Lawless' in this stunning gold completely beaded Armani Prive Fall 2012 Couture gown. I love Jessica in gold as it looks so natural against her skin tone in the French Riviera's evening sun the gown would sparkle nonstop. I would recommend that she pull her hair back and up, add the runway clutch, and some gold strappy sandals to complete this look.

Now before anyone says anything about the fact I want Mia Wasikowska to wear a cocktail dress for a Cannes premiere should just take a step back and continue to read. I would love to see Mia wear this Rodarte Fall 2012 RTW dress as a gown for the premiere of her film. I think that if this was a gown and had a maroon waistband added to show off Mia's waist that this would be an absolutely stunning red carpet gown for the young star. I would add black peep toe pumps, a grand pair of earrings, and a bracelet to complete this look.

As much as I would love for Diane Kruger to wear nothing but grand couture ball gowns for the entire festival there have to be sometimes that the actress gets a break and gets to let her hair down but still look fabulous. I think that this dusty pink Gucci Pre-Fall 2012 poppy print gown would be amazing on Diane. This gown has a 1920's/30's'70's vibe to it and I think that it would be absolutely stunning on Diane. A gold clutch, gold strappy sandals, and a gold bracelet would be the perfect accessories for this laid back look

MET Ball Wish List: The Fanning Sisters

The Fanning sisters will most likely be at the MET Ball. Dakota will most likely be in attendance as she has three movies coming out this year, including one of the most anticipated films Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. She has worn some Elie Saab in the past for the promotional tours of The Runaways and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. I think that this stunning embellished Elie Saab Fall 2012 gown with a built in cape would look absolutely stunning on Dakota with her pale skin. There is a chance that this gown won't ever be worn because folk singer Florence Welch wore this in her 'Shake It Out' music video. Even though I am still hoping for a huge red carpet moment with this gown. Dakota should pull her hair into a low loose large bun, simple makeup, no clutch or jewelry, and a pair of champagne colored satin peep toe pumps.

Elle Fanning may not have a movie coming out this year but she is a huge staple in the New York fashion scene having been the face of both Marc by Marc Jacobs and Rodarte. She has worn so many Rodarte looks on the red carpet and I would love to see her wear this stunning burnt orange and white patterned ruffled Rodarte Fall 2012 RTW gown. I think that this is something that Elle would just go into the Rodarte studio and pull off the rack and wear to just about any event and I would love to see her in this. A bronze Judith Leiber clutch and a pair of bronze strappy sandals with her hair pulled back. Last year the sisters both attended the MET Ball and both wore Valentino Elle in Fall 2010 Couture and Dakota in Resort 2011.
