2016 Oscar Parties Red Carpet Wish Lists Part 8

Continuing on with my week of Oscar parties wishes today kicking off with Dita Von Teese. I am always interested to see what the stunning burlesque queen will wear on the red carpet. I am hoping that Dita will make an appearance at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party wearing this amazing black Ulyana Sergeenko Fall 2015 Couture cocktail dress. This cocktail dress would make for an amazing red carpet moment on Dita with her stunning vintage beauty. I can picture Dita working the red carpet with her vintage inspired curls, signature red lip, the runways black fur pom-pom Christian Louboutin pumps, and a pair of diamond cluster earrings would ensure that this is an amazing r ed carpet moment for Dita.
I am really hoping that Gwen Stefani is going to make an appearance on Oscar night. Years ago Gwen made it through many red carpet moments on Oscar night wearing some of the best designers like Chanel Couture and Vera Wang. For this year's Vanity Fair Oscar Party I would love to see Gwen wearing this amazing fuchsia ombre Marchesa Spring 2016 RTW gown features a bird and botanical threadwork embroidered bodice with a tea length satin faced organza tiered skirt. When Gwen goes avant garde glamour on the red carpet I always fall head over heels in love with her look. I would finish this look off with a pair of black peep toe pumps, a black clutch, chic updo, red lip, and diamond cluster earrings to ensure that Gwen has an amazing red carpet moment.
I am betting that Oscar night is going to be a big night for Lady Gaga. Gaga is nominated for Best Original Song and I am really hoping that she takes the prize home. After the big ceremony, where she will also perform that nominated song, I would love to see Gaga change into this amazing Stephane Rolland Spring 2016 Couture jumpsuit which features an amazing crystal neckline and a dramatic train. This type of look takes a certain personality to pull off and Gaga definitely has the presence to make this look work on the red carpet. I would finish this look off for Gaga with a pair of diamond cluster earrings, silver crystal Christian Louboutin 'Daffodile' platform pumps, old Hollywood waves, red lip, and a lined eye to just top off what I am hoping will be another perfect red carpet moment for Gaga on Oscar night.
Naomie Harris has been on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party the past two years and I am hoping that she will be back on the Hollywood red carpet next Sunday night. I would love to see Naomi wearing this amazing Balmain Pre-Fall 2016 navy velvet gown with lace cut-out details. This look is a perfect red carpet moment waiting to happen. Like I said in a recent post, this Balmain collection has been my favorite from the brand in a very long time and I bet that we will see at least one look from the collection on the red carpet on Oscar night. Style this look with a navy Edie Parker clutch, navy peep toe pumps, old Hollywood waves, and a red lip would ensure that Naomie slays the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
While she might be over in Europe on the fashion show circuit but I would love to see Olivia Palermo out in full force on the Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet. The fashionista knows how to work some amazing avant garde lady like looks on the red carpet. I would love to see Olivia wearing this yellow Sachin + Babi Pre-Fall 2016 high low bow accented floral embroidered gown on this red carpet. As the queen of red carpet accessorizing and I could picture Olivia pairing this gown with a yellow feathered clutch & gold sandals to just take this look over the top for an Oscar night red carpet.

Runway Report: Stephane Roland Spring 2016 Couture

For his Spring 2016 Couture presentation Stephane Rolland turned back to the old days of Haute Couture opting to show his collection intimately within the walls of his couture salon in Paris with the models holding numbers which corresponded to a look which was named and announced by a live emcee. A small collection of 17 looks was all that Stephane needed to present to give a deep impact as each look was better than the last. It will take a special woman with a lot of presence like Lady Gaga, Nieves Alvarez, Tilda Swinton, Li Yuchun, Nicole Kidman, Cheryl Cole, Fan Bingbing, Rita Ora, Beyonce, or Gwen Stefani to make these creations work on the red carpet. I am hoping to see Solange Knowles wearing my favorite look, a black jumpsuit with ruffled flamenco sleeves and crystal detailing, on the red carpet.
I have been pinning all the collections on my Pinterest page with my immediate wishes of who I would die to see wearing these stunning couture creations, so to get more of an idea of who I want to wear what from the collections I would head over there!

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini for "X-Factor" UK Live Show Wish List

The "X-Factor" in the UK is known for its discovery of talent (think Leona Lewis, One Direction, & Cher Lloyd) and for the fashion of the judges. Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is on the judging panel, and this year it seems like we will be seeing weekly fashion battles (a prevalent thing when Cheryl and former judge Dani Minogue was on the panel) between her and Rita Ora. I have to say that I am either love it or loathe it when it comes to Cheryl's style and I am hoping that she gives me love it look after love it look the whole season. I have picked my choices for her based on all of the brands that she has worn in the past and who are her favorites are. I am hoping that when the show goes live this weekend that Cheryl starts off strong and keeps it rocking all season long. Balmain, Zuhair Murad, Michael Costello, Victoria Beckham, Georges Chakra, & Stephane Rolland are all brands that Cheryl loves and I think that each look that I have chosen  is well suited to making big statements on the "X-Factor" stage this season.

Of all of these looks which would you most like to see Cheryl wear on "X-Factor?"

#Cannes2015: Everyone Else Wish List

Dita von Teese loves Cannes, and the festival red carpet usually looks really good on the burlesque beauty. Usually around for the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala, Dita usually takes in at least one screening (most likely something from the Cannes Classics line up.) If Dita is going to take to the red carpet during Cannes I would love to see her look to the Ralph & Russo Fall 2015 Couture collection for her ensemble. This black and white cocktail ensemble with its voluminous skirt might be considered too short for the Cannes Film Festival rules of dressing but I think that the look actually fulfills the go big or go home mentality. The off the shoulder look is an over the top version of a 1950's couture ensemble and I think that Dita would slay that Cannes red carpet in this gown. Her go to beauty routine of black lacquered waves and red lip, finished with Chopard diamond chandelier earrings, a black Christian Louboutin clutch, and a pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals would complete this perfect red carpet ensemble for Dita.
Last year Eva Herzigova wore a Dolce & Gabbana cocktail dress on the red carpet for the Cannes Film Festival premiere of "Two Days, One Night." Not one to defy the Cannes dress code I would love to see the Czech model and actress give a take on the menswear trend and work this black and ivory Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2015 Couture tuxedo. This might be a menswear inspired look but this look is all feminine, from the ivory silk pants to the floral embellishments on the lapel. I go back on forth, since Eva would most likely be a guest of Chopard, on whether or not I would pair this look with a statement necklace or a pair of statement earrings. With her shorter hair I would probably pick a statement necklace to go with this look. Finished with a pair of black sandals and a red lip then Eva would have a Femme Fatale look perfect for a Cannes Film Festival premiere.
Heidi Klum is a consistent face during the Cannes Film Festival, there are two traditions when it comes to designers that Heidi wears on the Cannes red carpet. One is Marchesa (which will come later when I do my amfAR wishes) and the other is Atelier Versace. Now Heidi wore the Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture collection for the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party, and it was basically a disaster. I am praying that Heidi will have a glamorous moment on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. So I picked this silver Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture Swarovski crystal embellished gown, but it would need a few things to be red carpet ready for Heidi. The whole gown needs to lined, in what I would suggest be a silver silk, so that Heidi doesn't fall into tacky territory. Chic old Hollywood waves, a simple pair of diamond earrings, a pair of silver sandals, and a pink lip would ensure that Heidi has a winning red carpet ensemble on her hands.
Spanish supermodel Nieves Alvarez also usually runs to Cannes for at least one premiere. I am predicting that Nieves will do so yet again this year. If she does than we will most likely see her in one of two brand: Ralph & Russo Couture or Stephane Rolland Couture. I have decided to go with the latter. I am absolutely in love with this white Stephane Rolland Spring 2015 Couture long sleeved gown with a leather scale like bodice, illusion paneling, and white silk crepe mermaid skirt. I think that this gown is just begging for a strong woman who would evoke this gowns warrior spirit that this gown gives off. Finish the look strong with a wavy bob, emerald earrings, a red lip, a white Edie Parker, and a pair of silver sandals. Should Nieves do all that I can see her taking a spot on my Best Dressed of the Year list three years in a row.
I can't remember the last time that Paz Vega hasn't been on the red carpet during the Cannes Film Festival, and I am hoping that this year would be no different. I simply adore seeing the Spanish actress take to the red carpet. For a Cannes premiere I would love to see Paz wear this Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture sheer black floral embellished long sleeved ballgown on the red carpet. While I am used to seeing Paz kill the red carpet in varying bold designs by Ralph & Russo and Stephane Rolland I think that this simple ball gown would be enhanced her pixie style. A pair of bold sapphire and diamond cluster earrings, a pair of black sandals, and a red lip would make this a magical red carpet moment for Paz during the Cannes Film Festival.

#Cannes2015: L'Oreal Ladies Aishwarya Rai, Blake Lively & Cheryl Fernadez-Versini Wish List

Bollywood starlet Aishwarya Rai has been a queen of the Cannes Film Festival red carpet for years. The L'Oreal Paris ambassador to India always knows how to BRING it to the red carpet. Last year he major look was a gold Roberto Cavalli couture gown that she worked like it owed her years of back rent. I am excited to see what the Indian beauty will wear this year. I would love to see Aishwarya dig into the Armani Prive archives and pick up this green layered strapless fully beaded mermaid gown from the Armani Prive Spring 2012 Couture collection. I have been long awaiting someone to pick this gown up and wear it on the red carpet and I think that Aishwarya would be the perfect woman to give this gown its moment. The other look I would love to see Aishwarya to wear on the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals would be the grey Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture beaded and feathered cap sleeved a-line gown. This is a perfect statement for the Cannes red carpet because it is glamorous while taking a major risk, and the feathers would flow beautifully with the sea breeze from the French Riviera. Flawless hair and make-up courtesy of the L'Oreal Paris masters and Chopard jewels will finish this look off perfectly for the Cannes Film Festival red carpet.
Blake Lively slayed her first ever Cannes Film Festival last year. In fact her custom black and white Gucci Premiere gown that she wore for the "Captives" premiere topped my 2014 Best Dressed of the Year list. I am hoping for a major repeat performance this year. While Blake will most likely wear a custom Gucci gown I decided to stray away from that as the way Gucci is heading has me very scared. I instead went to the king of red carpet glamour and this stunning white Elie Saab Spring 2015 RTW fully beaded sheath gown with flowing cape train. This gown would be an amazing glamorous statement for Blake to make on the Cannes red carpet. Blake has been a busy bee as of late, she had 10 looks in 1 day this week, whilst promoting her new film "The Age of Adeline" and it seems like she has no intentions of slowing down. The other gown I picked for Blake is this absolutely stunning Oscar de la Renta Fall 2015 RTW gown with its extreme sweetheart neckline. I am sure that this gown will make an appearance between the White House Correspondents Dinner tonight, the Met Ball on May 4, or the Cannes Film Festival.
Cheryl Fernandez-Versini (Cole) usually only jets to the French Riviera for one premiere for the Cannes Film Festival, while her other L'Oreal spokesmodels usually do at least two premieres and a few parties. I am hoping that Cheryl will take a break from her oh so busy schedule to walk the carpet at two premieres this year. The first look I picked for the British pop star is an avant garde ivory and gold Georges Chakra Spring 2015 Couture strapless gown. I wouldn't normally associate Georges Chakra gowns with the Cannes Film Festival, only Elizabeth Banks has made me love one of his gowns at the festival in 2010, as I normally associate Georges Chakra with country music awards shows. I think that Cheryl would make this gown look like an expensive modern twist on a classic silhouette. The other look I would love to see Cheryl rock on the Cannes red carpet is this Stephane Rolland Spring 2015 Couture silver crystal embellished long sleeved top and white flowing chiffon skirt. This look is sleek, modern, and glamorous and perfect for Cannes where modernity and glamour are on the menu for a perfect Cannes red carpet look.

2015 Elton John Academy Awards Viewing Party Wish List

Elton John hosts a huge star studded gala benefit to watch the Academy Awards every year. The proceeds benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Dita von Teese is one of the ladies who I am hoping will be a guest at the Elton John party on Sunday night. Dita is always a favorite on the red carpet and I would love it if she showed up wearing this amazing Ralph & Russo Spring 2015 Couture floral embellished caped cocktail dress. Dita was seated front row at the Ralph & Russo Spring 2015 Couture collection presentation last month and I am still waiting for her to give a red carpet moment with one of these looks. The 1950s style is exactly what we would expect from the burlesque diva on the red carpet. Her classic old Hollywood beauty regiment, a pair of gold pumps and a gold clutch will ensure that Dita gives me a memorable red carpet moment on Oscar night.
Heidi Klum is one of the co-chairs of this years Elton John AIDS Foundation and I am sure that we will see the former Victoria's Secret model wearing a design from Atelier Versace. It would actually be really shocking to me if Heidi doesn't wear a Versace design. I would pick this sleek white Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Couture on sleeve asymmetrical gown. What I love about this gown for Heidi is that it would still be a shock while still being in her wheelhouse. The fact that there a zero embellishments on this gown would be the biggest shock of the night. Of course this gown would make for the perfect backdrop for some stunning statement Lorraine Schwartz colored diamond earrings. Finished with a pair of silver pumps and glossy hair and makeup and Heidi will for sure have a perfect red carpet look on her hand.
Karolina Kurkova is always a delight to see when she takes to the red carpet. It doesn't matter if she is stepping out for a front row or the Met Ball it is always a major look. Karolina was seated front row when Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli presented the Valentino "Sala Bianca" Couture collection to commemorate the grand re-opening of the Valentino NYC Flagship last month. I would love to see Karolina snatch up this simplistic white one shoulder gown from that collection. This gown is 90s glam at its best and I think that if anyone could breath life into such a simplistic gown it is Karolina. Finishing the look with a silver Edie Parker clutch, silver Stuart Weitzman 'Nudist' sandals and some simple Chopard diamond earrings would ensure that Karolina simplistically stuns.
Miley Cyrus is also a co-chair for the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party on Sunday night. I am hoping that the "Wrecking Ball" singer stops by and gives me a major red carpet moment. I think that going the mannish route via this Christopher Kane Pre-Fall 2015 tuxedo with patent leather detailing would be an amazing direction for Miley to go for this event. Everyone will be expecting Miley to show up in another of the ultra sexy looks from the Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2015 Couture collection and I think that this is a look that is unexpected. A pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps, a statement Chopard diamond necklace and a bold red lip will ensure that Miley continues to shock people on the red carpet.
Every year Nina Dobrev dolls herself up and heads on over to raise money for the Elton John AIDS foundation at the Oscars viewing party looking absolutely fabulous. I am excited to see what Nina, and her stylist Ilaria Urbinati, are cooking up for this years gala. I would love to see Nina go short and in couture with this stunning Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture peach long sleeve embellished mini dress. Nina always goes for full gowns for these type of events, but doesn't the fact that this dress is couture make up for the fact that it isn't a gown? Nude sandals, a peachy pink Edie Parker clutch, simple diamond earrings, a chic updo and dewy makeup would finish this look off in just the right way for Nina for this event.
And last but not least we have the final wish for an Oscars party. Spanish actress is one of my favorites on the red carpet and I am excited to see if she takes to the red carpet on Sunday night. I would love to see Paz wear this Stephane Rolland Spring 2015 Couture long sleeve gown with sheer panels and beautiful trumpet skirt. The bodice and sleeves of this gown reminds me of medieval armor or dragon scales, but the whole gown gives off this a very modern vibe. I think this gown with Paz's new short hair, a red lip, a silver clutch, diamond cluster earrings and a pair of silver sandals will put Paz in the running for a Best Dressed of the Year ensemble.

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.

Runway Report: Stephane Rolland Spring 2015 Couture

Stephane Rolland always gives me sculptural realness when he presents his couture collections. The Stephane Rolland Spring 2015 Couture did not disappointing in this arena in the least bit. Taking black and white and adding hints of silver, gold, and brown made this amazing collection come to life. Shown in an all white industrial space, this collection infused classic shapes and then made them seem new and modern. Ballet-esque silhouettes opened the show and were followed by dazzling red carpet gowns and glamorous jumpsuits and I am exactly ensured that there will be some major red carpet moments that will come out of this collection.
These gowns are definitely screaming for the international red carpets but I am hoping for a major moment for the red carpets on Oscar night. If one of these gowns is not worn at the actual Academy Awards, then I am hoping that someone picks up a gown for either the Elton John or Vanity Fair parties. We will definitely see the likes of Paz Vega and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini during the Cannes Film Festival and on the back on supermodel Nieves Alvarez, who walked in the show.

2014 London Film Festival: "The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom" Premiere Wish List

Fan Bingbing has been virtually nonexistent int he world of the red carpet, she surprisingly skipped Cannes this year despite being a L'Oreal Paris brand ambassador. I have missed her certain brand of red carpet drama. She only holds 3 best dressed looks this entire year so I am praying at her London Film Festival Cult Gala premiere of "The White Haired Witch of Lunar Kingdom" that Fan brings it -to the red carpet. This bordeaux Stephane Rolland Fall 2014 Couture ball gown that features sheer nude panels on the sleeves and bodice, sheer detailing on the skirt and  black feathers making up the hem. When it comes to the relationship between Fan and Stephane they have always been hit or miss to me but I think that this is the perfect gown for her to wear from the brand. The best thing about this look is that when Fan undoubtedly wears her black patent leather quadruple stacked platform peep toe pumps that we will be unable to see them. Finish the look with a high big bun and a red lip and Fan will rocket onto not only my best dressed of the month list but possibly the best of the year, too.

2014 Cannes Film Festival: L'Oreal Spokesmodels Blake Lively, Cheryl Cole, Eva Longoria, & Fan Bingbing Wish List

Earlier this year L'Oreal Paris announced Blake Lively and her hubby Ryan Reynolds as spokesmodels for the brand and I can not wait to see them on the red carpet in Cannes next month. The fact that Ryan will be premiering a film at the festival as well holds true to the hope that they will wow. Blake is one of the few ladies in Hollywood that doesn't use a stylist and 9 times out of 10 the results are fantastic. One gown that I can see Blake trying to snatch up for this major red carpet is this orange Atelier Versace Spring 2014 Couture halter neck gown. This is stunning, sexy, and impact making which are all things that Blake looks for in a red carpet option. The other gown that I picked for Blake is this black and silver Marches Fall 2014 RTW lace gown. This gown is all the things the Atelier Versace gown is but in a demure old Hollywood way.
British pop star and recently reappointed 'X-Factor UK' judge Cheryl Cole usually flies into Cannes and attends one red carpet. I always hope for more when she does because she usually leaves me speechless and wanting more. Her go to designers for Cannes have been Stephane Rolland and Zuhair Murad so I have picked a look from each for her to pick from. The first is a black Stephane Rolland Spring 2014 Couture gown with long sleeves and a high low hoop skirt. This is a bold statement that would require some really awesome shoes. The other gown I picked is this white Zuhair Murad Spring 2014 Couture double breasted tuxedo inspired gown. The sexy menswear inspiration and the light color make this a sexy ultra feminine look perfect for the red carpet.
Eva Longoria is another red carpet staple at the Cannes Film Festival thanks to L'Oreal Paris. We usually see Eva's best looks come to life on the red carpet of the Palais de Festivals and I am hoping that is no different this year. Picking just two gowns for the former 'Desperate Housewives' star is always hard because I wish Eva would just stay in Cannes for the duration of the entire festival and just wear fabulous gowns the whole time. The first gown I picked is this white Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture floral embellished cap sleeve ball gown. Eva loves a big dress and I think that this one is appropriately big for this red carpet. The other is a purple Christian Siriano Fall 2014 RTW ball gown in a shimmering fabric. This is a big statement and I think Eva would look absolutely stunning in this gown but the label might not be quite up to the standards of the Cannes Film Festival red carpets. We might see Eva rock another custom Emilio Pucci gown on the red carpet as well.
Back in 2010 Fan Bingbing took to the red carpet at several premieres during the Cannes Film Festival in stunning couture, sparking questions of 'who is that girl?' Well we found out later that year that Fan Bingbing is a Chinese actress and singer who is the face of L'Oreal Paris in Asia. Fan has given us 28 stunning looks since 2010 on the red carpets of Cannes and I am hoping that there is no change when it comes to the Opening Ceremony next month. My first wish is one that I can't show all of you. Why? Because I want to see Fan bring back the custom Chinese traditional gown that she rocked in 2010, 2011, and 2012. These gowns really showed the diversity of the festival while maintaining high glamour with their modern cuts. After that all bets are off and I hope that Fan pulls from every designer that she has grown to love. The first gown I have picked for the actress is this heavily embellished Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture strapless ballgown. I think that this is a perfect statement for the Cannes Film Festival red carpet and Fan makes such beautiful magic when she wears the designs of Mr. Saab. The other gown I have chosen for Fan is this amazing white Georges Hobeika Spring 2014 Couture structured gown. This might come off as a little bridal to most but I think that Fan has the potential to pull this gown off and make it werk on that red carpet. Other brands I would love to see Mrs Bingbing wear are Stephane Rolland, Zuhair Murad Couture, Armani Prive, custom Atelier Versace, Marchesa, and Giambattista Valli.
