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.

Red Carpet Predictions: "Insurgent" NYC Premiere

Tonight in New York City at the Ziegfeld Theater Shailene Woodley will take to the red carpet for the "Divergent Series: Insurgent" premiere. Shailene has been on a roll so far this promo tour with three great looks from Ralph Lauren, J. Mendel & Emilia Wickstead. I am hoping that tonight Shailene will keep up her steam wearing this Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2015 RTW blueish-green viscose cutout sleeve cocktail dress. I think that this dress is the perfect mix of edge, simplicity and femininity for Shailene. What I have to say is that Shailene is either love or hate on the red carpet and I am praying for her to continue to slay this promo tour. Slicked back hair and a pair of metallic gold Casadei pumps would finish this look off to perfection.

2015 BAFTA Awards: Keira, Margot, Reese, Rosamund, & Shailene Wish List

I am hoping that when Keira Knightley, who was shockingly absent from the Academy Award Nominees Luncheon on Monday, takes to the red carpet on Sunday for the BAFTA Awards that she finally hits a red carpet stride that covers her baby bump in a glamorous way. The moment that I saw this Andrew Gn Pre-Fall 2015 gown. The beading on the top of this gown would give me something interesting to look at in the sack-ish style dress that the Best Supporting Actress nominee is bound to wear. Hair styled in a chic up-do, a soft lip, a gold clutch, and a pair of gold sandals are exactly what is needed for this stunning red carpet maternity look for Keira.

I was all excited at the beginning of last year because I thought a had found a new girl crush in Margot Robbie, then she let me down. Hard. I am hoping that the EE Rising Star Award nominee will bring me back to the time where my jaw dropped at the sight of her. This silver crystal embellished Stephane Rolland Spring 2015 Couture top paired with a white skirt with a very dramatic train is the direction that I would love to see Margot rock on the BAFTA Awards red carpet on Sunday. The actresses blonde locks swept into Veronica Lake waves, along with a bold red lip and a pair of silver sandals would ensure that Margot gets back in my good graces and back on Best Dressed lists.

Color. Still the one thing that I am missing from Reese Witherspoon this awards season. I am still holding out hope that she will wear the Antonio Berardi gown that I so desperately wanted to see her wear for the Golden Globe Awards, but I am going to move past wishing for it again. Sticking to the same soft pink palette I picked this Delpozo Spring 2015 RTW (Not Couture) double sided silk twill gown that features a floral embellished bib at the front, a geometric construction around the waist, an exposed tulle underlay and full train at the back. I love that stars are embracing the avant garde Spanish designer for their red carpet dressing. Old Hollywood waves thrown over one shoulder, a pink lip, and nude sandals would ensure that all eyes are on Reese at the BAFTA Awards.

Rosamund Pike has not lived up to the expectations that I had set for her this awards season. I am hoping that on her home turf that the Best Leading Actress nominee with be on point again. When I was flipping through the Christopher Kane Pre-Fall 2015 lookbook and I came to this stunning art nouveau lace bodice gown with a pleated tulle skirt, my heart started to flutter. The gown features a semi-sheer bodice with allover Art Nouveau patches, bonded with leather, vinyl, bright and metallic accents, and a floor-length pleated tulle skirt. This gown is elegant and effortless while being extremely fashion forward and avant garde. Rosamund would look lovely in this gown with a sleek bob (a la the Golden Globes), a pink clutch, and a pair of gold sandals would finish off this look perfectly for the BAFTA's red carpet.

Finally we have the final wish for the 2015 BAFTAs. Shailene Woodley is nominated for the EE Rising Star Award and I am slightly interested in what it is that she will wear. With a big promo tour for "Insurgent" coming up, the sequel to the hit "Divergent," I am sure that Shai will be on top form. This Prabal Gururng Pre-Fall 2015 ensemble is exactly what I picture Shailene in for the BAFTA Awards. Consisting of a black floral embroidered strapless gown worn under a black and red embroidered silk crop top this look screams the laid back style that Shailene puts off on the red carpets. Paired with a pair of black sandals and a red lip I think that Shailene would have a best dressed look on her hands at the BAFTA Awards.

2015 Critics Choice Awards Wish List Part 3

When Keira Knightley stepped out in her custom Chanel butterfly gown at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, which personally made me think of Little House on the Prairie, the fashion industry gave a collective sigh. I had very high hopes for Keira and she really let me down. I am hoping that Thursday night at the Critics Choice Movie Awards, where she is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "The Imitation Game" and Best Original Song for "Lost Stars" from "Begin Again," that Keira redeems herself in her red carpet dressing. I understand that dressing a burgeoning baby bump is difficult but many before her have worked the bump on a red carpet with great abandon. I am hoping that Keira reverts back to Michael Van Der Ham Spring 2015 RTW for this red carpet. Having worn a few looks from this collection during the promo tour for "The Imitation Game" last year I think that this is a huge possibility. This navy gown with an asymmetric neckline and 3-D embroidery would drape ever so elegantly over Keira's baby bump. Finish the look with a soft up do, a red lip, navy Chanel clutch, and a pair of navy pumps will give Keira the red carpet look that puts her back on the top of best dressed lists.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Rosamund pike give a new silhouette at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night. Her custom Vera Wang gown boasted many cut-out sections which showed off her post baby body, like seriously is she human? She just had a baby 5 weeks ago. I am hoping that she continues to show off her banging body at Thursday nights Critics Choice Movie Awards, where she is hoping to take home the Best Actress award for her work in "Gone Girl." This eggplant Azzaro Fall 2015 Couture figure hugging gown with an asymmetric neckline and strategically placed embellished cutouts on the bodice. I was a little weary, and totally ready to change this wish, about picking such a figure hugging gown but after Sunday nights look I know that Rosamund is red carpet ready. Finish the look with a black Edie Parker clutch, black Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals, simple diamond earrings, and her asymmetrical bob worn straight down Rosamund would really give me a wow moment on the red carpet.

I was not a huge fan of "Neighbors" but the Broadcast Film Critics Association has given Rose Byrne a nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy at Thursday nights Critics Choice Movie Awards thanks to her work in the film. I have to say that I am excited to see what Rose will wear on the red carpet. I have always been a fan of Rose and I love what she brings to the red carpet. The moment I saw this Jenny Packham Pre-Fall 2015 cinnamon scoop neck gown that is completely beaded from top to bottom. I think that this amazing gown would look so elegant on Rose as it is classic silhouette. Finish the look with a gold box clutch, a pair of gold sandals, and a dazzling pair of diamond earrings inlaid in yellow gold, a chic low bun, and a soft pink lip to make sure that Rose holds her own on the Critics Choice Awards red carpet Thursday evening.

Shailene Woodley is nominated for Best Actress in an Action Movie for "Divergent." I have to say I am excited to see what Shai will wear on the red carpet on Thursday night. Last year we saw Shailene work the red carpet in a bevy of fabulous looks looking the best she has ever had, in major part to her new stylist Ilaria Urbinati who works with Nina Dobrev and Bradley Cooper as well. I think that this red Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2015 short sleeve gown rendered in red silk double georgette and features a high round neck, cutwork at the bodice trimmed with tonal embroidery and a floor length fluted skirt with a train would be an amazing look for Shailene for this red carpet. I think the sleek sport silhouettes that hold just a touch of girly glam are the perfect looks for Shailene and her personality. Finish the look with hair pulled up neutral makeup and red Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals will make sure that the gown is the star of the show which it should be.

Last but not least we have a wish for androgynous beauty Tilda Swinton to wear for the Critics Choice Movie Awards, where she has a nomination for Best Supporting Actress thanks to "Snowpiercer." I love to see Tilda on the red carpet because you never know what she is going to be wearing and usually I love what she is brings to the carpets. The moment I saw this Valentino Fall 2014 Couture ensemble which consists of a white asymmetric tunic top and uber wide leg black pants I have been begging for Tilda to pick it up. I think that this fits the masculine meets feminine style that Tilda loves so much for the red carpet. Finish the look with a pair of the runways sandals or a pair of black pumps and this would be a perfect look for the Critics Choice Movie Awards.

Me and Kelly from Dream In Lace had so much fun Sunday night live tweeting the Golden Globe Awards, that we are going to do it all over again Thursday for the Critics Choice Movie Awards. Please join me (@FutureStylist93) and Kelly (@DreamInLace) at about 9 PM EST for all kinds of fashion ID's and LOTS of snarky commentary.

2015 Peoples Choice Awards Wish List Part 2

Jennifer Lopez, nominated for Favorite Pop Artist, at next weeks Peoples Choice Awards is always one that I look forward to seeing on the red carpet. The stunning Latina works the red carpet like the true diva that she is. I pray that she brings her sparking personality to the PCA red carpet. I picked this silver all over embellished Zuhair Murad Fall 2014 Couture long sleeve silver cocktail dress with an asymetrical hem for the pop star because from the moment that I first saw the dress take to the runway back in July I have wanted to see star in it. Styled simply with a silver box clutch and a pair of silver Christian Louboutin sandals and a red lip I think we would have a more than stunning red carpet moment for Jenny from the Block.

"Scandal" star Kerry Washington has earned herself a nomination for Peoples Choice Favorite Dramatic TV Actress and she is another that I can not wait to see take to the red carpet. I love that Kerry takes fashion risks while owning absolutely everything that she puts on her body. For the Peoples Choice Awards I picked this acid yellow Peter Pilotto Spring 2015 RTW paisley cocktail dress that has sheer embroidered polyester construction with an a-line mini skirt, a high round neck, and paisley embellishments at the front. As the dress is such a bold statement I would keep the stunning minimal with just a simple pair of yellow Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals and a simple gold box clutch would finish this look off in a way that would only enhance the stunning dress. Hair pulled back into a tight bun and a nude lip would finish this look off perfectly for the PCA's.

Runway Report: Christian Siriano Resort 2015

 Christian Siriano looked to Teil Duncan’s colorful and abstract paintings as well as Tokyo’s sakura season, which he experienced for the first time earlier this year, when he was creating his Resort 2015 collection. A collection filled with bright bold pieces that would make any jet set lady envious made up of a variety of tops, trousers and jackets for day, as well as romantic and playful cocktail dresses and gowns for evening. Duncan’s graphic colorful nudes and whimsical beach scenes helped set the tone for this playful and powerful collection. Patterns such as bright floral brocades, bold graphic stripes and oversized petal leaf prints added a modern edge to the classic shapes that create this collection. This collection has to be one of the best red carpet worthy Resort collections that Christian Siriano has put out and I cannot wait to see these stunning creations worn at biggest red carpet events.

Runway Report: Donna Karan Resort 2015

After not being thrilled with the Fall 2014 RTW collection, Donna Karan has given me an absolutely breathtaking collection for Resort 2015. I am loving everything about this absolutely stunning collection. This Resort collection can go from the streets to the wedding aisle and can get in basically anywhere in between. While since the launch of Donna Karan Atelier there have been less and less gowns from the Donna Karan runways taking to the red carpet. It would be sin for these creations to not get their day in the light. Stone grey, gold, black, peach, and lemon made this an elegant and breezy collection that would look absolutely stunning on and off the red carpets of the world.

2014 MTV Movie Awards Wish List Part 3

Recently I have not been impressed with Rose Byrne on the red carpet, which is shocking because I used to love her, but her most recent looks have been dowdy and matronly. I am hoping Rose brings edge and glamour to the 2014 MTV Movie Awards red carpet where she is nominated for Best Scared As Shit Performance for her work in 'Insidious: Chapter 2.' This silver Mary Katrantzou Fall 2014 RTW jacquard silk suit would give me the wow moment on Rose that I have been longing for recently. I would not style this suit with a shirt instead opting for a sexy string of diamonds by the yard necklace, a pair of Stella McCartney silver holographic pointed toe pumps, and a red lip to finish off this absolutely fantastic ensemble for an MTV event.

Sandra Bullock was either love or meh on the red carpet over awards season, experimenting with several different looks. What seems to work best on the comedic star are elegant lady like ensembles. Nominated at the MTV Movie Awards for Best Female Performance for 'Gravity,' I am hoping that Sandy brings a lady like elegance to the edgy awards ceremony come April 13th. This blue silk Lela Rose Fall 2014 RTW shift dress would look fantastic on Sandy and would make for such a stunning red carpet moment. Finished with a pair of black patent leather Christian Louboutin pointed toe Pigalle pumps, a red lip, and pin straight locks will finish this look for the MTV Movie Awards.

I had originally wanted to see Shailene Woodley, who will be presenting with her 'A Fault in Our Stars' co-star Ansel Elgort, to wear a black to maroon Elie Saab cocktail dress, but it was sadly worn in an unimpressive way. So I changed my wish to this all maroon Cushnie Et Ochs Pre-Fall 2014 fit-to-flare gown with a deep plunging neckline. Shailene's new stylist Illaria Urbinati has been working wonders with the actress who's style I never really like prior to her recent 'Divergent' press tour. This absolutely amazing dress is something that would make Shailene sexy, which is not a look that she has gone for before. Finish the look with a pair of simple gold sandals and a gold clutch to ensure that Shailene looks perfect for the MTV Movie Awards.

'Divergent' London Premiere Wish List

 Shailene Woodley has gotten herself a new stylist, one of my favorites in fact, to help her through her 'Divergent' promo tour and Ilaria is working wonders on the star who I had written off and someone who I could never love a red carpet look of. Wowing me in back to back Elie Saab creations at the LA and New York premieres of the film I am hoping that we see Shailene work a new brand at the London premiere. I think that this soft lime Giorgio Armani Fall 2014 RTW strapless column gown would be an amazing choice to keep injecting glamour into her red carpet style. With hair styled a little edgy, a simple palette of makeup, a pair of simple silver sandals, and maybe a silver box clutch will make this another impactful look for Shailene.

 Kate Winslet recently gave birth and I applaud her for showing off her post-baby curves at the 'Divergent' LA Premiere but I am hoping to see a softer look from the Academy Award winning actress next Monday at the London premiere of the film. Her LA look was just a little too tight for Kate's silhouette  I think that this berry colored Elie Saab Fall 2014 RTW gown would be a huge statement for the star who does not wear lots of embellishments very often. The overtly sexy slit would be toned down just the way Kate carries her self and the rest of the look is demure which would make for an amazing look. Hair pulled back into an elegant updo, a pair of black peep toe pumps, and a gold clutch would add the perfect finishing touches for this amazing red carpet look.

One person who's look I was surprised to make an impact on the 'Divergent' LA premiere red carpet was Ashley Judd. Ashley had fallen off the circuit and came back with an impactful blue Elie Saab batwing gown and I am hoping that she will be keeping up the glamour in London. This strapless Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2014 purple high-low gown would make another statement on the actress who I can tell is just loving being back in the spotlight. The pop of pink in the lining inspired the pink clutch on the runway and I think that would be a good choice for Ashley to make for the premiere as well but I would switch the lookbook black pumps for a pair of simple black strappy sandals. Very simple hair and makeup will keep the focus on the gown which is a statement in itself.

2014 Independent Spirit Awards: Paula Patton & Shailene Woodley Wish List

Paula Patton is either on my Best Dressed list or my Worst Dressed list. There is no in between for the actress. When she stepped out to announce the nominees for the 2014 Independent Spirit Awards she almost had a good look in white Versace Resort 2014 but she had a large visible stain on the front of her dress. Recently Paula has been wearing a lot of white and black so for the Independent Spirit Awards I am hoping that she brings some color to the red carpet. I think that this sexy lime Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2014 RTW jumpsuit with a daring deep v bustier would be a bold sexy and perfect choice for Paula to make for this event. The Spirit Awards are very laid back and pants and more casual cocktail dresses and even maxi dresses are the norm. So this sleek sexy sophisticated jumpsuit would fit right in. I would actually keep the runway pointed to pumps, add a gold clutch, a chic slicked back hairstyle, and a pair of statement gold drop earrings to complete this look that would have Paula Patton winning in the style department at the Independent Spirit Awards.

Another hit or miss star on the red carpet, who like Paula has more misses than hits, is Shailene Woodley who is nominated for Best Female Lead for 'The Spectacular Now' at the Independent Spirit Awards on March 1st. I am hoping that this will be a night that Shailene delivers a  hit on the red carpet. This orange Jenny Packham Fall 2014 RTW long sleeved mini dress with silver embellishments would be a splendid choice for the young actress. I usually love what Shailene wears when she goes after British designers, if she only wore brands like Jenny Packham, Christopher Kane, and Peter Pilotto for the rest of her red carpet career I think that I would die a happy man. Finish this look with a pair of silver Jimmy Choo 'Lance' sandals and a silver Jimmy Choo 'Tube' clutch and a sleek high pony tail and simple makeup will give the right styling choices to ensure that Shailene is on the Best Dressed List and not the Worst Dressed list!

2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards: Scarlett Johansson & Shailene Woodley Wish List

Scarlett Johansson had quite the up and down promo tour for her film 'Don Jon' which she is nominated for Best Actress for. An aqua Roland Mouret disaster in New York and too short and bland Saint Laurent in Toronto just lead to ugly looks from the star who I know has better potential than what she has. For the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards I think that this Stella McCartney Spring 2014 RTW black sheer over skirt cocktail dress would be the perfect look to help ScarJo get her sexy back. Finish the look with a blue Edie Parker clutch, a pair of black Saint Laurent sandals, and sexy old Hollywood waves swept over one shoulder and Scarlett will have the perfect sultry look for the Gotham Independent Film Awards red carpet.

Shailene Woodley has never been someone who's style I admire because she rarely looks better than alright. Even though thanks to her role in the film 'The Spectacular Now' Shailene is nominated for Best Actress at the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards. I will say even though she favors the designs of Calvin Klein, each time that Shailene has stepped out in a design from a British based brand, such as Mary Katrantzou and Christopher Kane, she has always ended up looking her best. With that in mind I thought about what to put Shailene in for this event another British designer came to mind, David Koma and this electric blue and white Spring 2014 RTW. This dress is a modern take on a classic shilouette which makes it something that I have already fallen in love with. A simple pair of blue or white sandals and her hair pulled back into a tight sleek pony tail will make for the perfect look and one that would actually see her on the best dressed lists.

2013 London Film Festival: 'The Spectacular Now' Premiere Wish List

Shailene Woodley has never been one of my favorites on the red carpet as I usually think that she is super bland when she steps out for these premieres. I think that this black and white floral applique Erin Featherston Spring 2014 RTW gown would be the perfect look for her to try and step up her red carpet mojo at the 2013 London Film Festival premiere of her film, 'The Spectacular Now.' I think that this is a girly route that we have not seen Shailene take on the red carpet and I actually think that she would look really glamorous and elegant. Finish the look with black pumps, a black clutch, and some simple diamonds to keep a simple look for her for this premiere.

MTV Movie Awards Wish List Part 2

Jennifer Lawrence is the 'Kristen Stewart' of the spring of 2012 because of her hit role as Katniss Everdeen in the blockbuster film 'The Hunger Games.' Jennifer is really the only competition that Kristen has at this years MTV Movie Awards so she needs to look 100% on her game. I would love to see Jennifer wear this abstract forest print Elie Saab Fall 2012 RTW dress. I think that this gown would look absolutely stunning on the young actress. Complete the look with a pair of purple sandals and the look would be absolutely amazing.

I am sure that Kristen Stewart will wear Balenciaga to the 2012 MTV Movie Awards as she is the face of the brands newest fragrance. Now I am kind of expecting her to wear a custom dress because she wore a version of all the cocktail dresses from the Fall 2012 RTW collection to the Met Ball. But if she was to pick a look from the Balenciaga Fall 2012 RTW collection I would recommend this black, red, and grey patterned color blocked leather dress with a peak bustier. I think that this dress would look amazing on Kristen as I know the shape flatters her and I think that the colors would be perfect for her. Complete the look with a pair of black peep toe pumps and she will be set.

I love to see what Rachel McAdams brings to the red carpet as she usually brings something best dressed to the red carpet. For the MTV Movie Awards I would love to see Rachel wearing this lipstick red Jenny Packham Fall 2012 RTW cap sleeve dress. I think that this brings to the table a bunch of different styles from sex kitten to pin up to old hollywood to regal. I feel that this is a dress that if Rachel doesn't snatch it up then Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge would be happy to pick up. Add a gunmetal clutch and gunmetal strappy sandals.

The last wish I have for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards is for up and coming star Shailene Woodley. Shailene comes from the hit ABC Family show 'The Secret Life of an American Teenager,' and was really jetted to a-list fame after her role in the Oscar nominated film 'The Descendants' where she herself received nominations for several other awards. It has been a pleasure seeing Shailene grow in her red carpet style and I think that for this event that this watercolor print Andrew Gn Spring 2012 RTW dress with a bold blue waistband. I absolutely love this dress and I don't know why this dress hasn't gotten a red carpet moment yet but I think that Shailene would do this dress justice. I would pair this with a bold blue clutch and some gold pumps.

2012 Academy Awards Best Dressed

 I knew from the moment I saw a shot of the top half of Milla Jovovich, in this stunning white beaded Elie Saab Fall 2009 Couture gown, that she was going to be the number one on this list. You may ask me why, and the answer to that is quite simple. I fell in love with this stunning gown when it originally walked the runway back in July of 2009. I have been wishing for someone to wear it and I am extremely grateful to Milla for giving it a red carpet outing. She paired her gown with an Edie Parker clutch and Elie Saab shoes to make her my best dressed.

 This was the big shocker of the night. Stacy Keibler, George Clooney's plus one, walked the red carpet in a hot off the runway Marchesa Fall 2012 RTW gold gown with a draped shoulder and and a rose hip detail. Not many can make this type of lame fabric work but Stacy looks absolutely stunning in her gown.

 Penelope Cruz channeled the amazing women of Hollywood past wearing this grey blue Giorgio Armani ball gown. Penelope Cruz looked absolutely stunning in this gown which she paired with a clutch that matched her gown and some stunning Chopard jewels made this look stunning and this is got to be one of her best looks ever. I love her hair and her makeup.

 Gwyneth Paltrow looked 60s chic wearing this stunning custom white Tom Ford gown and cape. The first thing that I thought of was Jacqueline Kennedy at John Kennedy's inaugural ball. She also wore a white gown with a cape by an American designer. I love this look and think that as Gwyneth ages this is more of the look that she should go for instead of tummy bearing gowns as she looks so chic. Anna Hu jewels and Jimmy Choo shoes just add to the elegance and glamour of this look.

 The last time Meryl Streep won an Academy Award back in 1982 for 'Sophie's Choice' she wore a gold gown. And again when she wore a stunning custom gold Lanvin gown, Meryl accessorized with the perfect gold accessory a Best Actress Oscar for her role as Margret Thatcher in 'The Iron Lady.' I will say I half expected Meryl to wear a large satin ball gown with a large collar so when I saw  wearing this stunning gown I jumped for joy. The accessorized with on the red carpet included a Lanvin clutch, Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, and antique Fred Leighton jewels.

 As soon as I saw this stunning Louis Vuitton gown I will say that I did a little bit of a jump for joy as it is a huge relief that she looked absolutely amazing wearing a stunning gown. I was happy that Michelle's gown fit her body amazingly and was extremely well accessorized it will a Bottega Veneta clutch, Christian Louboutin shoes, and amazing Fred Leighton jewels.

 Emma Stone wowed wearing this fuchsia Giambattista Valli Spring 2012 Couture gown. There are bound to be lots of comparisons to a red Balenciaga gown that Nicole Kidman wore to the 2007 Oscars as they both had similar silhouettes and the big bow the the same side of the body. I will say that even when the gown walked the runway I saw the similarities but none the less Emma works this amazing gown with no abandon. Emma accessorized with Brian Atwood shoes, Louis Vuitton jewels and a clutch also by LV.

 Many will not know who Li Bingbing is or why she is on the red carpet. I can not answer either of those questions but when you look this good in a Georges Chakra Spring 2012 Couture gown on the Oscars red carpet. Well I am extremely excited to see this gown and it was absolutely stunning when it walked the runway and translated just as well to the red carpet. I will applaud Li for not lining the sheer aspects of the gown like one would expect for such a formal event. Regular readers might recall that I wished for Katy Perry to wear this to the Grammy Awards, but after seeing this I am extremely happy that she didn't as Li looks amazing.

Jessica Chastain looked absolutely amazing wearing this Alexander McQueen dress that was made from a compilation of looks from the Resort 2012 collection. I will sat that I am extremely surprised not to see Jessica in Armani Prive after the moment that she had with him on the day of the show and her nomination. I will say I expected something totally different from her and then when I saw this I was blown away. I have already had four people ask me where the could get this and were very disappointed that this was custom made for her. She topped her regal gown with two million dollars worth of Harry Winston diamond jewelry.

And last but not least we have Shailene Woodley wearing this stunning Valentino Spring 2012 Couture gown. Many will say that this gown is way to mature for her to wear but I will say that this is a gown that is completely in her style and I am super excited that she looks as good as she does. What earned her a spot on this list is that she actually embraced that fact that doing her hair and makeup are good things and not things that she has to fear. Shailene completed her best dressed ensemble with a Valentino clutch, Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, and Harry Winston jewels.
