2013 Toronto International Film Festival Premieres Wish List Part 6

Felicity Jones was one of my Ones to Watch in 2012 and then we did not see her take to the red carpet but this year she has grabbed my attention lately. I am hoping that when she steps out at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival to premiere her film 'The Invisible Woman' she will wow and show me why she was one of my Ones to Watch. I think that this green Lanvin Resort 2014 one ruffled shouldered ruffled gown. This gown is one of my absolute favorite looks from the Lanvin Resort collection and I am sure that someone will pick this dress up and rock it on the red carpet and I am hoping that Felicity will be the one to get to it first. A sleek pony tail, a gold clutch, and a pair of gold pointed toe pumps as well as a red lip would be the way that I finish off this amazing ensemble for Felicity for the Toronto International Film Festival.
Mila Kunis made a red carpet return to top form earlier this year on the promotional tour for 'OZ: The Great and Powerful' and I am hoping that the fashion just keeps on coming during the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. Mila will be in town to premiere her film 'Third Person' and I am hoping to see her rock the red carpet in a glamorous ensemble. For the premiere I would pick this sapphire blue Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture cocktail dress. I think that this dress would be sophisticated yet still sexy on Mila. I have not been wowed by a Mila/Elie collaboration since the lilac Elie Saab gown that Mila wore to the Academy Awards the year that she was nominated for her work in 'Black Swan.' A pair of blue Salvatore Ferragamo peep toe pumps and simple jewelry would be the way that I would finish off this look for TIFF and Mila.
Finally we have the final wish for the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and its for Scarlett Johanson for her premiere of 'Under the Skin.' For her Venice Film Festival premiere of the same film I want to see Scarlett wear a sexy yet classic and sophisticated Marchesa gown and I think that for Toronto ScarJo will go for something shorter and sexier. I think that this black Atelier Versace Fall 2013 Couture long sleeved cocktail dress would be perfect for Scarlett for this premiere. I think that with a dress like this that makes a major statement just a simple pair of black Christian Louboutin pointed toe pumps would be the way to accessorize this dress. Finish the look with old Hollywood waves and a bold red lip and Scarlett will have her second best dressed look of the festival. 

Keep an eye on the Facebook and Twitter pages during these festivals too see all the best look from the red carpets.

2013 Toronto International Film Festival Premieres Wish List Part 5


This is the only film that the stunning Jessica Chastain will be premiering this year is 'The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby' which is disappointing because it doesn't seem like a film that will garner the stunning actress any awards season recognition. Aside from that I am expecting Jessica to bring it to the Toronto International Film Festival like she always does on the red carpet. I think that this cornflower blue Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture cocktail dress is perfect for Jessica who doesn't like to carry a clutch. This was one of my favorite looks from the Christan Dior Spring 2013 Couture collection and I am still surprised that no one, including any of the Dior ambassadors like Marion Cotillard or Natalie Portman, have snatched this dress up. Just a simple pair of sparkling Christian Louboutin pumps, a sleek updo, and simple diamond earrings would be the perfect way to complete this look for Jessica for TIFF.
After wearing several Christian Dior looks this  year I am still certain that after this season of being a spokeswoman for Jimmy Choo that she will ultimately become a spokesmodel for Christian Dior. But before that happens Nicole will take to the red carpet at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival to premiere her latest film 'The Railway Man.' I think that this jade green Christian Dior Resort 2014 50's inspired cocktail dress. The last outing of Dior that Nicole made was a black mini dress at the 2013 CMT Music Awards which was a little too twee for her but I think that this dress is age appropriate and classic but yet still sexy. Finish the look with a pair of silver Jimmy Choo sandals and simple hairstyle would make this look absolutely amazing.
Olivia Wilde has a sense of style that sometimes I just can't get behind but when she gets it right she gets it oh so right. I am hoping for her premiere of 'Rush' at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival that she will get it oh so right. I think that this white Alexandre Vauthier Fall 2013 Couture gown with long sleeves, a deep v, and a slit up to there would be a sexy confident choice for her to make for this premiere. In the past few years I have felt that a lot of Olivia's choices have been dumpy and old looking and that is nothing that she should even be in the same sentence as because she is only 29 years old. Save the dumpy clothing for when you are 90 hun, stay with glamorous elegant and sexy choices. Finish the look with a pair of silver Christian Louboutin sandals and a silver Anya Hindmarch glitter clutch and Olivia will have the perfect look for her TIFF premiere.

2013 Toronto International Film Festival Premieres Wish List Part 4

 Angelina Jolie has played the role of the Best Plus One so far this year on the arm of Brad Pitt has he traveled the world promoting 'World War Z' and I am sure that she will once again play arm candy for him as he premieres 'Twelve Years a Slave' at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. Angie gave us a look that is totally going to end up on several Best Dressed of the Year lists at the 'World War Z' Berlin premiere wearing a sculptural white Ralph & Russo cocktail dress and stunned in a black Saint Laurent gown at the London premiere of the film as well. I am hoping to see her wear this silver and grey Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture gown for the red carpet at TIFF and is simple enough to not overshadow the films stars, even though she is Angelina Jolie. A silver Edie Parker clutch and a pair of silver Salvatore Ferragamo satin pumps would be the only things that I would use to finish off this absolutely amazing red carpet ensemble.
Berenice Bejo will premiere 'The Past' at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and I am extremely excited to see what she will bring to the red carpet. She was one of my favorites during the Cannes Film Festival peaking at #8 out of over 140 looks in her stunning Alexis Mabille blue coat and white gown. I think that Berenice will go back to the brand that was loyal to her as she grew to fame whilst she was nominated for an Academy Award for her film 'The Artist,' Elie Saab. For this premiere I would love to see her wear this amazing red Elie Saab Resort 2014 gown with lace inserts with just a simple Kotur clutch and red sandals. Berenice just oozes effortless French style and like I said I am extremely excited to see what she is going to wear at TIFF next month.
Jennifer Aniston will be in Toronto next moth and the main headline coming out of this the speculation that there will be a Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie/Jennifer Aniston rendezvous. I could care less to be honest. Jen and Brad split almost 8 years ago and Mrs Aniston is engaged to become Mrs Justin Theroux soon. I am just hoping that Jennifer will not make it onto my worst dressed list. If she wears this grey and blue strapless Christian Dior Fall 2013 Couture cocktail dress without the weird arm and neck details then I can believe that she would make the right choice and wow me on the red carpet which she can not usually do. The last time I was wowed by a Jennifer Aniston look was her bold red Valentino Couture gown at the 2013 Academy Awards. I just think that as long as the look is age appropriate, not Valentino, and not black that Jennifer could have a winning look on her hands because I am completely over her wearing all of the things that I had mentioned. Just a simple pair of black peep toe Salvatore Ferragamo pumps and maybe her beach-y locks worn in a messy up do to combat the serousness of the rest of the look and Jennifer will have a look that I might actually like.

2013 Toronto International Film Festival Premieres Wish List Part 3

After premiering 'Kill Your Darlings' during the 2013 Venice Film Festival, Elizabeth Olsen will keep the momentum going by flying to Toronto with co-star Daniel Radcliffe to premiere the film during the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. Venice is where I expect to see Elizabeth don a grand designer gown and at Toronto I think Elizabeth will tone it down with a much simpler cocktail ensemble. I have chosen this classically draped black Balenciaga Resort 2014 cocktail dress. Last month Elizabeth wore a white top and black shorts from the same Balenciaga for Comic-Con and I am hoping that she will grab another dress from that collection. Finish this look with a simple pair of black sandals and simple diamond earrings will be the perfect way to complete this look for Lizzy.
Hailee Steinfeld will have her second film to premiere during the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival 'Hateship/Loveship' alongside co-stars Kristen Wiig, Nick Nolte, and Guy Pierce. For this premiere I would love to the the sixteen year old actress wear this amazing red, black, and white Prabal Gurung Resort 2014 sporty gown. I either love a rise and fall hemline or I don't and I think that this would be one of the times that I love it because it makes this look much less formal and much more appropriate for the Toronto International Film Festival. Finish the look with a chic pair of black Christian Louboutin sandals and a high sleek ponytail and Hailee will have a perfect elegant yet age apporpriate ensemble for the Toronto International Film Festival.
In the last year Australian actress Melissa George has really let me down. She went from the woman who always look sexy yet sophisticated in the likes of Victoria Beckham, J. Mendel, and Armani Prive to wearing a lot of looks that are just overly edgy or all together unimpressive. I am hoping to see her revert back to the star that I fell in love with on the red carpet when she premieres her film 'Felony' during the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. I think that this ruby red strapless Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture embellished column gown would be perfect for this red carpet sans the neck scarf that it was paired with on the runway. A red Edie Parker clutch and a pair of red satin pumps as well as a sleek updo would complete this perfect look for TIFF and give Melissa a knock out look which is not something that I have seen from her in a while.
Sandra Bullock has had a pretty great year with her red carpet style and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon. After her film 'Gravity' screens as the opening film of the 2013 Venice Film Festival it then head to the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival for a premiere there as well. Like Elizabeth I am expecting Sandra to bring all the Hollywood glamour to Venice and bring a more casual cocktail dress for Toronto. I think that this navy blue Aquilano.Rimondi Fall 2013 RTW cap sleeved cocktail dress that features a peplum of sorts due to the sculptural pockets. I think that this is a sophisticated choice for Sandy to wear for TIFF and that she would look absolutely stunning in it, in a way that we have never seen from her outside of a gown. Just a pair of black satin Salvatore Ferragamo peep toe pumps would be the only accessory that I would pair with this amazing dress as it is a work of art all on its own. Sandy should wear her straight locks over one shoulder and apply a bold red lip to complete this ensemble as she premieres 'Gravity' at TIFF.

2013 Toronto International Film Festival Premieres Wish List Part 2


Emilia Clarke who has become the main face for promotion for her hit HBO series 'Game of Thrones' and it is not hard to see why, she is absolutely stunning and knows how wear clothing so well. Well next month Emilia will take to the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival to premiere her latest film 'Dom Hemingway.' Last year Emilia showed her relationship with the House of Chanel most notably at the 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards and the 2012 Emmy Awards and I am hoping to see her wear this amazing silver Chanel Fall 2013 Couture gown. She has not worn a Chanel Couture creation as of yet and what better platform than a major film festival to do so. A silver clutch, a pair of silver sandals, and some dazzling Chanel Fine Jewelry would be the amazing completion to this amazing red carpet ensemble.
During the 2013 awards season season Jennifer Garner shined as she took to the red carpet in support of her husband, ARGO director and star, Ben Affleck. She wore amazing looks by Vivienne Westwood, Roland Mouret, Gucci Premiere, and Oscar de la Renta. Well I am hoping that she will go back to Oscar for her look for the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of her film 'Dallas Buyers Club.' This blue and white Oscar de la Renta Resort 2014 peplum cocktail dress is what I think that Jenn should grab up for this major red carpet. The only thing that could cause this look not to make it on Jenn is the fact that Anna Wintour wore a different dress with this print to the 2013 CFDA Awards and it seems that when the Queen of all Fashion Media wears a print that the lookbook or runway dress never sees the light of a red carpet which is so sad because they are usually some of my absolute favorite looks. With that said if Jennifer snatches this dress up I would just finish it off with a pair of black satin Salvatore Ferragamo peep toe pumps and a pair of diamond and sapphire earrings and she will have another red carpet hit on her hands.
Julianne Moore mostly stuck to black and white during the 2013 Awards season donning Tom Ford and Chanel Couture so if she is to step out to join her co-stars Joseph Gordon Levitt and Scarlett Johanson to premiere their film 'Don Jon' I hope to see the stunning red headed actress don some color. This seafoam green Alberta Ferretti Resort 2014 goddess draped gown would look amazing on the stunning red haired actress. I have always been a fan of a red head in any shade of green and I think that this gown would be no different on Julianne. Simple gold accessories including a pair of gold strappy sandals and some gold and diamond accented jewelry would be the perfect ways to complete this amazing look for the Toronto International Film Festival.
The main female star of 'Don Jon' is the stunning blonde bombshell Scarlett Johanson. While I am hoping that she will have a great gown at her Venice Film Festival at the premiere of 'Under the Skin,' which will get a feature for its Toronto International Film Festival in just a few days, I think that Scarlett will wear short and flirty and sexy for this premiere during Toronto. If you didn't get that yes ScarJo will be premiering two films during this festival. For the 'Don Jon' premiere I would love to see her wear this light pink Zac Posen Resort 2014 sculptural peplum dress which is flirty and sexy in a very classic bombshell way. I could totally see Marylin Monroe wearing this dress if she were alive and young today. A pair of gold strappy sandals and hair worn up in a simple up do would be the perfect way to finish this look for this premiere.
And finally to round up today's whirlwind wish list for the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival we have Reese Witherspoon who will be in town to premiere her film 'Devil's Knot.' A few months ago Reese was arrested in New York City sporting a dark brown hair color but I think that during TIFF that she will be back to her classic blonde locks that made her famous. For the red carpet I would love to see Reese wear this very cute and flirty Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture emerald green embellished cocktail dress. I think that Reese has an amazing sense of style and was one of my favorites at the 2013 Academy Awards in her blue Louis Vuitton gown and I am hoping that she keeps it up at TIFF. The runway green satin pumps, an emerald green Edie Parker clutch, and simple diamond and emerald jewels would be the way that I would style this look for Reese for this years Toronto International Film Festival where I am hoping she will wow me.

2013 Toronto International Film Festival Premieres Wish List Part 1

The Toronto International Film Festival will open on September 5th with the film 'The Fifth Estate' which is based on the life Wiki-Leaks founder Julian Assange. Stunning Swedish actress Alicia Vikander, most known right now for her role in the 2012 incarnation of 'Anna Karenina,' will be seen in this film as well. I am hoping to see her take to the red carpet on the opening night of TIFF. She has started growing numerous friends in the fashion world like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Rodarte, and Elie Saab. The light blue heavily embellished Elie Saab couture gown that Alicia wore at the 2013 Academy Awards, just as an attendee not a presenter or nominee, was one of my favorite looks of hers and I am hoping that the partnership continues. To premiere her film on opening night of TIFF I would love to see her wear this emerald green Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture column gown with an embellished tulle lace train. At TIFF this would be the perfect look for a premiere after last year where couture gowns ran rapid and the level of glamour took a step up. Add an emerald Edie Parker clutch, a pair of green Elie Saab satin pumps, and a simple sweet updo and Alicia would look absolutely fantastic as she continues to gain her spotlight.

Keira Knightly will be in Toronto for the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of her latest film 'Can a Song Save Your Life.' Last year Keira helped up the anty for fashion by wearing a glamorous black Elie Saab couture embellished ballgown for the premiere of 'Anna Karenina' at the festival. I am hoping that she keeps on bringing glamour by wearing this amazing white Chanel Resort 2014 pearl accented draped gown. Keira has had an amazing relationship with the House of Chanel for quite some time and they know how to make red carpet magic together. Finish this look with a matching clutch and pumps as well as some simple diamond and pearl Chanel Fine Jewelry and Keira will have another red carpet hit on her hands courtesy of Chanel.
Hailee Steinfeld will join Keira Knightley during the Toronto International Film Festival to premiere 'Can a Song Save Your Life' as well. The 16 year old actress has been hitting major red carpet highs and lows this year. Among her highs were her House of Holland dress at last nights Teen Choice Awards and her safety pin embellished Donna Karan Atelier at the 2013 Met Ball and some of her lows come from Michael Kors at Comic Con and Valentino at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. I am hoping that Hailee will live up to her red carpet potential standing up against fashion heavy hitter Keira. I think that this bubblegum pink Christian Dior Resort 2014 50's style a-line dress that zips down the front would be a great choice for the young star. I think that this look is extremely youthful yet sophisticated as well as modern and classic all rolled into one very chic dress. I would pair this with a sliver Jimmy Choo glitter 'Candy' clutch and a chic pair of Jimmy Choo silver sandals. If  she does as I have said she will without a doubt be able to hold her own during TIFF.
Lea Seydoux will make a red carpet return after a very successful run during the Cannes Film Festival where she promoted her film 'Blue is the Warmest Color' which will also screen during the Toronto International Film Festival. Having already received the Palme d'Or during Cannes for this film Lea is expected to take this film all the way to the 2014 Academy Awards, at least for Foreign Language Film that is, but before that she will take to the red carpet at TIFF. For this appearance I would love to see the beautiful French actress wear this Andrew Gn Resort 2014 gown which consists of a red and white coral print bustier and black full length skirt. This dress has potential to go one of two ways, very kitschy because of the coral print or extremely elegant because of Lea's sophistication. I believe that on Lea this dress would be a knockout winner. Finish it off with a pair of black satin Salvatore Ferragamo peep toe pumps, a pearl white Valentino Fall 2013 Couture clutch accented with a red coral shaped clasp, sleek hair, light eye makeup, a bold red, and minimal jewelry and Lea will keep her streak of fabulous red carpet looks going during TIFF.
