2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish List Part 10

This is the first Oscars in recent years where Jessica Chastain won't be on the main stage red carpet as either a nominee or presenter so I will be intrigued to see if she will step out for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. If she does I would love to see Jessica step out in this navy Schiaparelli Spring 2016 Couture asymmetrical organza gown gown. I do have the slightest reservations that these organza Schiaparelli Spring 2016 Couture gowns will all end up like the disastrous look that January Jones wore for the SAG Awards, but I believe that this gown on Jessica would look simply elegant. I think a chic simple pulled back hairstyle, diamond drop earrings, and a pair of navy peep toe pumps would be the perfect styling to ensure that Jessica has a beautiful moment on the Vanity Fair red carpet.

If Marion Cotillard steps out on the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet there is a big question one must ask, will she wear Dior? Marion usually saves Dior for her big red carpet appearances and I wonder that since she isn't nominated or presenting at the Oscars if she would continue to shun Dior on the Vanity Fair red carpet. I am hoping that is the case and the French beauty selects this white Ralph & Russo Spring 2016 Couture fitted cocktail dress with floral embroidered voluminous sleeves. I tend to enjoy Marion's more avant garde fashion choices and this is definitely a very chic avant garde style. Marion wears clothes so well that I am hoping that she gets her hands on this stunning creation. Keeping the styling simple with a pair of silver Christian Dior pumps and a pair of Dior Fine Jewelry drop earrings (so she can still represent her brand on the red carpet) as well as a chic updo and a red lip would ensure that Marion is a bright star on the Vanity Fair red carpet.

Naomi Watts is one that either looks incredibly perfect for is a little to disheveled for my taste. I am hoping that if Naomi steps out on Oscar night that she is as glamorous as ever. I would love to see Naomi walk the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party wearing this amazing mauve Armani Prive Spring 2016 Couture tiered crystal embroidered dress, which gives distinct flapper vibes. I think that this classically pretty dress would be the most amazing choice for Naomi to make as when she wears Armani she almost always shuts the red carpet down. A navy satin clutch, simple silver sandals, diamond drop earrings, & classic beauty would ensure that Naomi has the perfect red carpet moment.

Last year Solange Knowles was out on Oscar night and there wasn't a single look of hers that I actually liked seeing her wearing. I am usually such a hug fan of Solange's style so it was a big shocked that I didn't like either of her red carpet looks at last years Oscars and Vanity Fair Party. I think for next Sunday's Vanity Fair party I would love to see Solange wearing this amazing Christian Dior Spring 2016 Couture ensemble which includes a yellow flamenco ruffle long sleeve cold shoulder embroidered blouse and black and white fitted embroidered pants. Solange is one of the few women who I would love to see wearing pants on Oscar night and this is perfect. A pair of simple black pumps and her signature afro would finish this look perfectly for Solange.

Zendaya is another star who I am sure we will see on Oscar night as she also has never met a red carpet that she didn't like. The focus of Zendaya last year was all about her dreadlocks, and at the Grammy's it was all about her mullet. I am hoping that if she steps out on Oscar night it is about how fabulous she looks. I would love to see Zendaya wearing this purple Haney Fall 2016 RTW sexy cutout gown with a jeweled halter. I get some major Cavalli vibes form this look and I think it is the perfect style look for the music star on the Vanity Fair red carpet. A gold clutch, a pair of gold sandals, with her knew blonde bowl cut and a smokey eye would be the perfect finishing touches for this look, and for Zendaya on the Vanity Fair red carpet.

2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish List Part 3

A person I would love to see on the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet is the ever beautiful Christina Ricci. A red carpet appearance by Christina is something that is far and few between but when she does they are always great red carpet moments. I would love to see Christina wearing this black Ashi Studio Spring 2016 Couture strapless high-low embroidered ball gown. I think that this is a high impact classic glam look that Christina would rock on the red carpet with ease. A black clutch, black strappy Christian Louboutin sandals, a chic updo, red lips, and a pair of dazzling emerald and diamond earrings would just punctuate this perfect red carpet ensemble.

Kate Bosworth is always a favorite of mine when she steps out on the red carpet. The pink Dolce & Gabbana gown she wore on the red carpet at the Golden Globes is something I will be remembering at the end of the year, that is unless something even more major comes around. Last month when Bertrand Guyon presented his Spring 2016 Couture collection for Schiaparelli Kate was perched ever so perfectly front row, undoubtedly scouting out potential looks for Oscar night. I believe that Kate would look absolutely stunning wearing this draped cherry printed gown from that collection would make for a perfect look for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Keep things very classic glam with a chic updo, red lip, silver pumps, a pair of diamond drop earrings, and a red Edie Parker clutch so that Kate has an absolutely stunning red carpet ensemble.

Natalie Portman usually steps out on the red carpet for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and I am hoping that will be the case come this years red carpet. The Miss Dior perfume spokesmodel will for sure be wearing Dior for the carpet and I would love to see her wear this blue Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture strapless cocktail dress. Most will wear a gown on this red carpet, and Natalie normally does, but I think that this dress would make for just a glamorous a statement as a gown would. Styled with a pair of black sandals, a silver Dior clutch, a chic updo, and a pair of diamond drop earrings this would be one of my favorite red carpet looks from Natalie.

 Selena Gomez is no stranger to movie awards show after parties having been to Golden Globes and Oscar parties many times in the past and I am hoping that the songstress will be out in her full glam style at the Vanity Fair party. While a gown is most likely what Selena would wear I would love for her to take on this sexy black Atelier Versace Spring 2016 Couture suit laced together with a handmade Swarovski crystal lace. We have been seeing Selena go for very sexy looks in her performances and music videos but still mostly goes for sweet looks on the red carpet and I am hoping that she will start giving us sexy looks on the red carpet too. This suit would do just that, give Selena a sizzling glamorous red carpet ensemble. A pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps, a black clutch, sexy waves, a pair of diamond cluster earrings, and a red lip would ensure that Selena gives me a major wow on the Vanity Fair red carpet.

I was very excited to read that Zoe Saldana is a chair of the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing party. Zoe has been one of my favorite red carpet ladies and I am excited to see what she will wear on the red carpet on Oscar night. I would love to see Zoe wearing this red and black Altuzarra Pre-Fall 2016 flapper dress. Zoe is a major movie star and one of the few that could get away with wearing this dress on the red carpet at the Elton John party where an evening gown is almost required. A pair of strappy black sandals, a black Edie Parker clutch, a wavy faux bob, and a pair of gold set diamond drop earrings would finish this look off perfectly for the red carpet.

When Bad Dresses Happen to Good People: January Jones in Schiaparelli Couture at the SAG Awards

 I didn't get to see January Jones move down the red carpet at the SAG Awards last night but I don't think it would have helped me like her Schiaparelli Spring 2016 Couture gown any more. The first thing I can't believe is that she was dressed by the same woman who works her magic on the likes of Jessica Chastain, Cate Blanchett, and Viola Davis. I was worried when I watched the Schiaparelli Spring 2016 Couture show that these gowns were going to be a tough sell for anyone walking the red carpet, and sadly they have claimed their first victim. I think that this gown had way to much going on and too much volume for really anyone to be able to pull off without looking like they tore down the organza curtains, wrapped themselves in them, and got in a limo on their way to the awards.

 The styling also did not help the case of the gown. With something so voluminous I don't know why January allowed her hairstylist to do that hideous messy updo. The hairstyle ages her and the makeup fades into the background. With all the detailing around her neck she really needed some sort of lip color to be able to pull focus away from the knots on her shoulders and up to her face. I did like the addiction of the Aurelie Bidermann gold cuff but it was almost lost against the sea of silk chiffon.

This was the only photograph of the gown that I saw that actually made me sort of like it. Sadly January Jones, who is usually a favorite of mine on the red carpet, landed herself in a dud and if Jane Fonda's tragic Schiaparelli Couture gown from last year is any indication, this will be on my mind when I start to make my considerations for Worst Dressed of the Year. It's a shame that bad dresses happen to good people, sorry January but better luck next time!

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" London Premiere Wish List

"The Hunger Game: Mockingjay Part 2" will premiere in London on Thursday November 5, 2015 and I am expecting a rather large celebrity turn out. The ladies, and gentlemen, of the series will surly be out in troves to mark the final London premiere for "The Hunger Games" franchise. Jennifer Lawrence, AKA Katniss Everdeen, is obviously going to present at the premiere and I gotta say I am quite intrigued as to what she will end up wearing. JLaw is a signed face of Christian Dior, but with the news this past week that Dior creative director Raf Simons is stepping down will Jennifer still have to wear Dior for EVERY red carpet? I guess this red carpet will be the tell. If she does wear Dior for this premiere I would love to see her wear this mauve Christian Dior Fall 2015 Couture strapless gown. This gown mixes sporty and feminine glamour which are the looks that Jennifer ends up rocking the most on the red carpet. This look paired with diamond cluster earrings, gold sandals, a gold clutch, fresh faced makeup, and a chic updo will ensure that Jennifer has a winning moment at this major premiere for her.

Elizabeth Banks has A LOT to live up to with what she wears on the red carpet for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" premiere thanks to the Elie Saab Couture gown that she wore to the premiere of "Mockingjay Part 1" last year. The first promo tours for this franchise Elizabeth rocked orange for the red carpet and I think it would be nice to see her come full circle wearing this incredibly dramatic Marchesa Spring 2016 RTW sherbet to coral ombre gown which is rendered in textured tulle and features an ombre skirt with a feathered threadwork embroidered bird bodice. This is a bold statement, definitely something her character Effie Trinket would approve of. Elizabeth has the stature to carry this gown off, the question is will she go bold or will she let JLaw shine? Elizabeth should wear a pair of gold sandals, a pink lip, and a vintage inspired updo to ensure that she doesn't overcook this look as too many accessories or jewels will ruin this beautiful statement.

Red carpet rebel Jena Malone is one that I am looking at very closely to see what she is going to wear for the "Mockingjay Part 2" premiere. I absolutely adore Jena's edgy style and it breaks up what is usually a lot of pretty on the red carpet. I would love to see Jena brave London's cold and rock the hell out of this black sheer Schiaparelli Fall 2015 Couture gown which features a beautiful gold sunburst embellished embroidery on the bodice. This gown gives a very distinct 20's Erte art deco style and I think that Jena would look incredibly chic and sexy wearing this gown. Finish the look with old Hollywood waves, a gold clutch, a pair of black sandals, and a bold red lip to keep the vintage inspired air of this look going.

Julianne Moore has been consistently killing it this year on the red carpet and I hope that she finishes with a strong promo tour for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2." Last year for the London premiere of "Mockingjay Part 1" Julianne wore looking stunning in a simple black Balenciaga cocktail gown, I am hoping for a little more drama when she takes to the red carpet for the "Mockingjay Part 2" premiere. I would love to see Julianne Moore wearing this Givenchy Couture gown that was presented alongside the Spring 2016 RTW collection. This gown is a re-envisioning of a gown that Riccardo Tisci first presented in his Givenchy Spring 2011 Couture collection and it has only gotten better. I love the brown ombre feathers on the skirt over the yellow that it was first crafted as. I think Juliane would kill this dark statement gown on the red carpet. Finish the look with a bronze clutch, a pair of bronze heels, old Hollywood waves, and a red lip and this look is for sure going to be one that people will be talking about the next day.

Gwendoline Christie is joining the ranks of the star-studded of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" for the final installment of the series. I am learning to love what the incredibly tall actress, Gwendoline is 6' 3" tall, is wearing on the red carpet and am quite looking forward to what she is going to wear for this premiere. I would pick this white Osman Spring 2016 RTW halter neck caped gown for Gwendoline to wear on this red carpet. I think that this look is classic and modern all at the same time and Gwendoline would look innately regal wearing this design. Add a pair of silver sandals, finger waves, and a pink lip and this is for sure one of the chicest moments on the red carpet.  

Natalie Dormer, like Jena Malone, usually brings something edgy to the red carpet. For the "Mockingjay Part 2" premiere in London I would love to see Natalie wear this amazing Roksanda Spring 2016 RTW primrose yellow "Lexie" dress which features an asymmetric high neck and a layered fringe construction throughout with a flat back and a black belted waist. I think that Natalie is one of the few women that could make this type of avant garde gown work on a red carpet. Now if she decided not to wear the belt I think that she would get lost in the froufiness of this gown, but I believe that she wont. Finish the look off very simply with a sleek updo, red lip, black clutch, and black sandals to ensure that this gown is not overtaken by the styling and keeps its awesome impact.

2015 London Film Festival: "High Rise" Premiere Wish List

Sienna Miller started promoting "High Rise" last month at the San Sebastian Film Festival, and after a GLORIOUS run at the Cannes Film Festival, where her wardrobe really disappointed me. I hope that when she steps out to promote the film at the 2015 London Film Festival on Friday that she does so on a high note. I picked this beautiful and yet demurely sexy Schiaparelli Fall 2015 Couture black sheer chiffon long sleeved gown with a gold embellished starburst from the chest. It is an absolutely stunning creation and I think that this hyper glam gown would mesh well with Sienna's boho astethic quite well. Finish the look with simple styling including Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals in black, a 20's finger wave bob, and a red lip to ensure that Sienna leaves competition on the red carpet at the London Film Festival in the dust.

2015 London Film Festival: "Truth" Premiere Wish List

2015 Venice Film Festival: "Black Mass" Premiere Wish List

"Black Mass" is the second of two films, the first being "A Bigger Splash", that Dakota Johnson will be premireing during the 2015 Venice Film Festival and I gotta say that I am nervous because I have not been Dakota's biggest fan. For the photocall I picked this purple lace Gucci Resort 2016 shirt dress. Dakota was front row when Alessandro Michele presented his first Resort collection for Gucci back in May in New York City and I am hoping that Dakota picks up a look for two from the collection, as shown by the gown I picked for her to wear for the "A Bigger Splash" premiere. I think that Dakota should keep the look with a yellow shoe but opt for a lighter sandal for this photocall. For the premiere I picked this shocking pink Schiaparelli Spring 2015 Couture bias cut gown with a sensual abstract human anatomy print. I think that this would be an elegant offering from Dakota but I am expecting her to wear a custom Christian Dior or Saint Laurent design for this premiere. A black clutch, a pair of black sandals, simple diamond drop earrings, and a light pink lippie would finish this look off in such an elegant way even though I expect we will see Dakota wear either black or white for her premiere.

I have to say that I am probably the most excited to see what the members of the feature film jury wear on the red carpet because Diane Kruger and Elizabeth Banks are two of my favorite to see on the red carpet and I can not wait to see what they bring to Venice. For the "Black Mass" premiere I have picked this Alberta Ferretti Fall 2015 Demi-Couture printed chiffon ballgown. The gowns print is actually taken straight from the walls of Alberta Ferretti's new Parisian offices and I have to say that there aren't many that I could see pulling this look off and Diane is one of them. Only thing that I think could put Diane off from wearing this look is the fact that Elizabeth Banks wore a similar style by Elie Saab Couture for the "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" premiere in London last year and it became one of the most buzzed about looks of the year. If Diane were to still go for this look I would pair it with a gold clutch and gold sandals and a chic updo to ensure that the look is all about the stunning gown and not the accessories.

Elizabeth Banks will look stunning I am sure at every premiere that she attends during the course of the 2015 Venice Film Festival. For the "Black Mass" premiere I chose to put Elizabeth in this stunning Alexander McQueen Resort 2016 figure hugging gown completely embellished with different flowers. I think that this is an edgy choice and if anyone can make an edgy choice look extremely glamorous it is Elizabeth, I mean she does pull off all of Effie Trinkets costumes with great aplomb in "The Hunger Games." This is a look that needs to be styled very simply. I would pair this look with a pair of black peep toe pump and a small black clutch, finishing the look with old Hollywood waves and a red lip to add a touch of glamour to the look.

Be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook during the 2015 Venice Film Festival, which runs from September 2 to September 12, to keep on top of all the looks that come down the red carpet.

#Cannes2015: amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala Red Carpet Wish List Part 3

Since "American Idol" finally wrapped Jennifer Lopez I am hoping that Jennifer Lopez will finally return to Cannes to fulfill some L'Oreal Paris brand ambassador duties. It has been 5 years since JLo has been in Cannes and I think that we are LONG over due for a show stopping red carpet moment from the Latina pop princess. I would love to see Jennifer rock the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala on Thursday wearing this Zuhair Murad Spring 2015 Couture silver beaded 'naked' dress. No one does the 'naked' dress like JLo and I think she makes them look chic instead of tacky, which is a big feat for one to be able to do. Finished with sparkling colored Chopard earrings, old Hollywood waves, a red lip, and a pair of Silver sandals and all will be forced to bow before her.

Jessica Chastain is a guest that has attended the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala since she made her Cannes debut, and I am hoping that the stunning red headed actress is back on the seaside red carpet this week. I would love to see Jessica wear this amazing green Schiaparelli Spring 2015 Couture gown with its surrealist hand print on the amfAR red carpet. You really need to watch the video of this gown walk the runway to really appreciate the full beauty of this gown (it starts walking at 6:30). The halter gown with an open back that features a scarf train that can be wrapped up around the shoulders in a demure way or left to drape behind in a chic sexy manner. A chic updo, red lip, emerald earrings, and a pair of red sandals would ensure that the vintage quality of this gown stays truly intact.

We are bound to see a gaggle of models on the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala red carpet since Carine Roitfeld is producing yet another color themed collection for the event to be auctioned off to the highest bidder, this year the collection is entirely black and white. Karolina Kurkova is one of the ladies that I am most looking forward to seeing on the red carpet at the amfAR gala. The Czech supermodel would look amazing walking the red, well actually traditionally white, carpet at the amfAR benefit wearing this Maison Margiela Spring 2015 Couture red velvet column gown with a mandarin collar. Since no one snatched this gown up for the Met Ball I am praying we get to see it at Cannes. A simple pair of black sandals, a diamond bracelet, a red lip, and sleek swept up hair would finish this look perfectly for this red carpet.

#Cannes2015: L'Oreal Ladies Freida Pinto, Helen Mirren & Jane Fonda Wish List

I am just going to leave this here to remember what could have been since I have been informed that due to scheduling conflicts that Indian beauty Freida Pinto will not be making her L'Oreal Spokesmodel appearance on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. Let us have a moment of silence for the major fashion moments that will never happen in part of this conflict.

While Freida Pinto is going to be MIA this year, we might have the first appearance from newly signed L'Oreal Paris spokesmodel Helen Mirren. I absolutely love when I get to see Helen Mirren on the red carpet because she knows how to werk a red carpet even at the prime age of 69. I absolutely adore the British stars red carpet sartorial style, its elegant and age appropriate yet very sexy. The first look that I would love to see Helen wear on the red carpet during the Cannes Film Festival  is this stunning nude Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture long sleeved embellished beaded lace ball gown. This would be the epitome of defying age. I think that Helen would look absolutely stunning wafting down the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals in this creation. I would have the skirt lined to remove the sheer see though leggy interpretation. Helen loves herself a Dolce & Gabbana frock for a red carpet ensemble and I am sure that at least one look that Helen will wear on the red carpet will come from the Dolce & Gabbana atelier. I picked this yellow and green floral embroidered gown for Helen to wear, which is more appropriate for a party and not the main red carpet but I believe that Helen will most likely wear a custom creation for the Cannes red carpet.

Helen Mirren is up against some red carpet completion as Cannes veteran Jane Fonda, at the age of 77, for Best Dressed Lady From Over the Hill. I am excited to see what Jane is going to bring, despite the ugly Donna Karan gown that she wore to the White House Correspondents Dinner, especially after the killer ruby red Elie Saab couture gown at last years festival. The first look that I picked that I would love to see Jane wear for the Cannes Film Festival is this purple, bubble gum, and white abstract thistle print Schiaparelli Spring 2014 Couture off the shoulder long sleeved gown. I think that this gown is perfection for this red carpet because it is bold yet elegant and perfect for a red carpet on the French Riviera. The final look for today's with list is this amazing fitted Zac Posen Fall 2015 RTW long sleeved gown that would show off the actresses famous curves and be sexy and age appropriate. 

The Cannes Film Festival is now just 15 days out and the red carpet will be packed with stars. Who are you most looking forward to seeing?

Red Carpet Predictions: "Cinderella" London Premiere

2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Wish List Part 1

I am taking a break from the main ceremony to focus on some of the Oscar night parties for the next few days. These events can be just as glam and give just as much high fashion as the main show does. Amy Adams did not receive an Oscar nomination this year but I am still praying that she decides to hit up a few of the parties. I would love to see Amy on the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet wearing this shocking pink Schiaparelli Spring 2015 Couture silk gown. The silhouette of this gown is one we don't see from Amy very often but I think that the simple style with the bold color and pattern would just sing a beautiful with Amy on the red carpet.

Anna Kendrick is going to be performing at the Academy Awards ceremony next Sunday night and then I am sure she will head out to the parties. I am also figuring that Anna will make a costume change on her way. I created this wish before she was announced as a performer at the ceremony so I do not know if Anna would wear a ball gown, but I would love to see her wear this amazing black and white liquid organza Naeem Khan Pre-Fall 2015 gown that features a sweetheart neckline with multiple thin camisole-style straps, a black floral lace bodice that falls to a white floor length a-line skirt. This is a very pretty gown and I think that Anna would rock it on the red carpet. Old Hollywood waves, a red lip, a black Edie Parker clutch and a pair of black strappy Christian Louboutin sandals would be the perfect finishing touches to put Anna on top of the Best Dressed lists.

The Best Supporting Actress nominated Emma Stone usually changes out of her Oscars ceremony gown and into a second look for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. I have a feeling that is going to be the case next Sunday night. I picked a beautiful blue and gold Valentino Couture ballgown for Emma to wear for the ceremony so I figured I would give her something that wasn't as much for the Vanity Fair Party. I picked this light gold embroidered high neck gown from the Valentino "Sala Bianca" Haute Couture collection that was presented to commemorate the reopening of the Valentino NYC Flagship. This collection has been receiving a lot of red carpet love and I am sure that time is nowhere near up. I think that this gold gown would make Emma look like a flaming goddess. Finish the look with a gold Lee Savage clutch, a pink lip and a pair of gold sandals and Emma will show why she is one of the best dressed women on the red carpet scene.

Emmy Rossum is going to be hosting the Costume Designers Guild Awards on Tuesday night so I am hoping that she will stay in LA through Oscars night and attend the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party. Emmy is one of my favorite women who rocks red carpets. Very rarely does Emmy disappoint on the red carpet. I would love to see Emmy wear this heavy georgette Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2015 halter gown with a front opening that reveals a vibrant orchid print. I love this gown. When this gown is not in motion this gown you don't really see the print but it is a fun unexpected punch.

I could not find a Dior gown for Felicity Jones to wear for the actual Academy Awards ceremony, even though I feel like she will wear a custom dress. I would love to see her change into this floral print Christian Dior Spring 2015 Couture cocktail dress with side cutouts. This is a mix of 50's housewife and ultra sleek modernity. This is something that I really want to see Felicity do on the red carpet. She does the prim look so well it would be nice to see Felicity wear something with a little edge. Silver sandals and chic hair and  makeup would finish this look off perfectly for the Vanity Fair Oscars After-Party red carpet.

This year Gwen Stefani is rumored to be dropping not only an album with No Doubt but also releasing another solo album. I would love to see Gwen on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Party next Sunday night. The Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2015 Couture collection was really popular for Grammy weekend and I think that Gwen should get her hands on this collection. I would love to see Gwen wear this silver sequined long sleeve Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2015 Couture gown with a plunging neckline and split to there. The belt reminds me of a heavyweight championship belt so I would probably switch it up and pair it with a black Alaia belt, black sandals, a red lip sand some stunning Chopard diamond earrings to ensure that Gwen is a red carpet hit.

Hilary Swank always wows the fuck out of me. There is something about her grace and elegance that I just love to see her in what ever she wears. I would love to see Hilary wear this Elie Saab brown and blue long sleeve mermaid gown with sweeping train and all over embellishments from the Fall 2014 Couture collection. This gown would be a stunning look for Hilary to wear for the Vanity Fair Party. It is chic and sophisticated and Hilary would infuse sex into the look. A blue clutch, old Hollywood waves and a pair of black sandals would finish this look off perfectly for the Vanity Fair red carpet.

2015 Independent Spirit Awards: Naomi, Rinko, Rosario, Sienna, & Tilda Wish List

The Independent Spirit Awards are the laid back awards ceremony held on the eve of the Academy Awards. The stars give more casual cocktail ensembles before donning couture ball gowns the next night. I am figuring that Naomi Watts will be on hand at the Spirit Awards since her film "Birdman" is nominated for Best Feature. I would love to see Naomi wear this lavender, white, black and yellow Roland Mouret Spring 2015 RTW asymmetrical caped pencil dress. I would not have Naomi wear the peach belt that the dress was paired with on the runway. With the dress being such a statement I would expect that Naomi would wear her hair in a chic updo, carry a white clutch, and I would add an unexpected pair of pale yellow sandals to finish off this elegant ensemble for the Spirit Awards.

When Rinko Kikuchi stepped out at the 2015 Berlin Film Festival she did not surprise me wearing Chanel, but did not wearing couture or a gown. I am hoping that the actress, who is nominated for Best Actress for "Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter," that she gives me a major red carpet moment. I would pick this amazing electric blue Chanel Spring 2015 Couture puff sleeve cocktail dress. It has been a long while since we have seen Rinko in a bold color and since she is always loyal to Chanel I think that this red carpet would be the perfect place to see Rinko rock this amazing cocktail dress. Finished of with simple make up, a gold clutch and a pair of gold pumps will make this look red carpet ready.

Rosario Dawson was on hand to help announce the nominees for the 2015 Independent Spirit Awards. Always on hand during Oscars weekend I am sure that we will see Rosario on the red carpet for the Spirit Awards. Since she is not nominated or in any of the nominated films I believe that this black Versace Pre-Fall 2015 tuxedo with crystal simulated stitching embellishments would be a perfect look for Rosario to wear for the occasion. This tuxedo is sexy, and totally on the menswear trend but with a sexy ultra feminine touch. Finish the look with a black clutch, red lip, old Hollywood waves and a pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps will finish this look giving Rosario a look that I will love, when she is not often on my best dressed list.

Sienna Miller made an appearance in the film "Foxcatcher" which is going to receive the Special Distinction Award at the 2015 Independent Spirit Awards. It is spotty whether or not Sienna will join her co-stars at the Spirit Awards since she only made a few select appearances to help promote the movie. If she does step out I would love to see Sienna wear this amazing Erdem Pre-Fall 2015 long sleeve feather lace applique blue and white cocktail dress. Sienna loves to represent designers from her home country of England on the red carpet and I think that this would look absolutely amazing on her. Finish the look with a red lip, simple up-do and a pair of black sandals so that the dress is the big statement of the night and Sienna will have an amazing red carpet ensemble on her hands.

Last but not least I have a wish for Best Actress nominee Tilda Swinton, who is nominated thanks to her film "Only Lovers Left Alive." I was going to wish for Tilda to wear the opening look from the Schiaparelli Spring 2015 Couture collection but the day after I planned that Juliette Binoche snatched it up for her Berlin Film Festival photocall. So I went with my second choice. Also from the same collection I think that this emerald green Schiaparelli Spring 2015 Couture silk long sleeve bias cut cocktail dress is a more feminine look than what I was originally going for but this look is still typical Swinton. The dress features star embellishments mimicking a necklace and two hands "clasping the necklace" decorate the back. I could see Tilda pairing this dress with the amazing Schiaparelli sandals that the dress was paired with on the runway, a bright pink lip and her hair styled in her signature pouf to ensure that this is an amazing Swinton sighting on the red carpet.

Runway Report: Schiaparelli Spring 2015 Couture

Schiaparelli might be a country with no leader at the moment, creative director Marco Zanini left back in November, but the house is showing no signs of going anywhere. The atelier team stepped up and crafted an absolutely amazing collection that will have Schiaparelli devotees like Tilda Swinton and Italian Vogue Editor-in-Chief Franca Sozzani begging for more. I was pleasantly surprised with how the house kept the spirit alive despite not having a creative head. Opening with an oversized ivory double breasted suit paired with a blue felt Stephen Jones for Schiaparelli fez, I knew we were in for a treat. There might have only been 20 looks in the collection but each look made more fall in love more than the last.

The design team stuck to the archival Schiaparelli for inspirations picking ideas out of vintage prints and breathing them into new life for a modern couture clientele. We have really seen very little of Schiaparelli since the house re-launched just a year ago. Just six looks in the past 365 days, 3 from Tilda Swinton along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Lorde, and Chloe Grace Moretz, took to the red carpets and I think that this brand deserves much better than that. I want to red carpet queens like Cate Blanchett, Diane Kruger, Nicole Kidman and Rihanna to help bring this brand into the spotlight that it really deserves. I hope we see these looks at the Oscars, Met Ball and during Cannes.

Runway Report: Schiaparelli Fall 2014 Couture

 Following the inaugural Schiaparelli collection designed by Marco Zanini only two celebrities were brave enough to take on the very avant garde collection Tilda Swinton and Sarah Jessica Parker. While the sophomore collection from the designer was just as avant garde, maybe even more, but there were still some amazing gowns that I am praying to the fashion gods make it to the red carpet. Zanini went back to the houses glory days in the 1940's for his inspiration. Sending models in a Shocking Pink room down a leopard print runway in exaggerated forties shoulders, lots of fur, hand painted prints, elegantly draped fabrics, and manipulated structured silhouettes which Zanini called "Controlled Excess." I hope a bevy of a-list Hollywood beauties get their hands on this collection for the film festival season this fall.

Schiaparelli Fall 2014 Couture Presentation Wish List

Only two celebrities have worn ensembles from the Schiaparelli Spring 2014 Couture collection, Sarah Jessica Parker and Tilda Swinton. Tilda has actually worn two looks one an off the runway look for her Berlin International Film Festival premiere of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and then a custom cocktail dress for the LA Film Festival premiere of "Snowpiercer." This would make Tilda a perfect person to sit front row at the sophomore collection for the Schiaparelli revival house. I would pick that finale "bride" look for Tilda to sit perched front row. The cream pant suit with embellished palm on the lower half of the jacket. I would figure that Tilda will wear the runway's flat sandals and I would have Tilda work a red lip and her signature edgy hairstyle to finish off this ensemble.
