2016 Golden Globe Awards: Best Performance by an Supporting Actress on Television Nominees Wish List

The final season of Downton Abby premiered this past weekend which marks a sad turn of events. I am interested to see who from the cast will be out on the red carpet on Sunday at the Golden Globe Awards. One ladies who I am sure that we will see is Joanne Froggatt who is nominated for her work on the show. I have never really found Joanne to be that intriguing on the red carpet, there is usually something that is off about her look. I am hoping that when she steps out on Sunday that she will deliver her best red carpet moment yet. I believe that this floral Monique Lhuillier Resort 2016 ensemble which features a sleeveless fringe embellished blouse and an a-line ball skirt would be a very beautiful option for Joanne to wear on this red carpet. Finished with a gold clutch, a pair of gold pumps, a chic romantic updo, and a pink lip and this look will be one for Joanne's record books.
I put Judith Light right up there with Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren with women who are considered "old" by Hollywood standards who defy what they are expected to wear and continue to make bold red carpet choices. I am quite looking forward to seeing what the Transparent actress will be rocking on the red carpet on Sunday night at the Golden Globe Awards. I think that this black Marchesa Pre-Fall 2016 draped gown with its sheer emerald beaded tulle sleeves and waist line would be an absolutely amazing red carpet moment on Judith. I think that this gown would look phenomenal on Judith, who has been loving pants on the red carpet recently. I would pair this look with emerald green Christian Louboutin satin peep toe pumps, an emerald and black Edie Parker clutch, hair worn up to accentuate the details at the neck, and a red lip to keep the look of elegance and glamour going.
Of all the Supporting Actress on TV nominees I am most likely to dislike what Regina King wears on the red carpet the most. I have usually found that Regina doesn't dress to fit her very athletic body type. The dress that she wore to the Emmy Awards (pictured left) looked more like a couture lampshade on her than a fabulous red carpet dress. If she want's so badly to look feminine on the red carpet I think that Regina just pick something like this raspberry red Georges Hobeika Spring 2016 RTW sleeveless floral embellished sheath dress. I think that the silhouette of this gown would look elegant on Regina who doesn't show her curves very often. I would finish this with a sleek hairstyle, a pink lip, a matching clutch, and a pair of silver sandals to get Regina on the right track.
Uzo Aduba is one of my slowly rising fashion stars. I love watching Uzo step out on the red carpet because she jetted to stardom overnight and she has been handling the red carpets like she has been on them all her life. On Sunday I would love to see Uzo wearing this hot pink Christian Siriano Pre-Fall 2015 mermaid gown with its thigh high slit and beautiful portrait neckline. Uzo has great curves and this gown would show them off in a way that she has never done before on the red carpet A pair of black sandals, a silver clutch, and a pair of dazzling diamond drop earrings would ensure that this red carpet moment is done perfectly. 

I will be live tweeting the Golden Globe Awards red carpet with my partner in snark Kelly from Dream In Lace on Sunday January 8, 2016 starting a 6pm.

#Emmys2015: Oustanding Actress in a Supporting Role in a Drama Nominee Wish List

The performance that Christina Hendricks gave in the  final season of "Mad Men" is looking like it is going to earn her her first Emmy Award. Having been nominated 5 times before hopefully sixth times a charm for the stunning strawberry blonde actress. I tend to love Christina in a gown and I know that with this being her last nominated Emmy Awards for a while she will be bringing her a game. I picked this stunning purple Romona Kevesa Fall 2015 RTW one shouldered draped silk gown for Christina because it would accentuate her famous curves and just give a fluid silhouette and who can go wrong with a dramatic train? Go big or go home for your last nominated Emmy Awards right? I would add some simple sparkle to this gown via a pair of diamond cluster earrings and a black Edie Parker clutch. Finish the look with a pair of black sandals, old Hollywood waves, and a red lip and Christina will undoubtedly end up on the Best Dressed List.
"The Good Wife" star and nominee Christine Baranski has a wonderful red carpet relationship with New York based designer Zac Posen and I am sure that she will wear one of his creations on 2015 Emmy Awards red carpet. I picked this navy knot front silk charmeuse Zac Posen Resort 2016 gown that features a draped shawl neckline with a knotted detail at the front, long sleeves with pleats at the wrists, and a form fitting fluted silhouette with a train at the back. I love Diane in navy and I think that this gown is different from anything that she has worn on the red carpet before which is perfect for the Emmy Awards red carpet. I would finish this look off with a black clutch, pair of black sandals, and simple diamond earrings to ensure that the dress is the stand out of this look.
Emilia Clarke tends to rock the red carpet and I am sure that she will continue to do so at the 2015 Emmy Awards. The "Game of Thrones" star is one of the few who I can see being able to snag a couture gown for the the Emmy Awards red carpet and I am really hoping that she does. Usually a floor length gown is a dress code requirement for anyone over the age of 18 at these type of red carpet events, but I think that this Christian Dior Spring 2015 Couture strapless tea length embroidered floral lace gown is perfect for Emilia. Since the gown is such a statement I would suggest that Emilia keep the styling very simple wearing just a pair of diamond cluster earrings, a pair of silver sandals, and a red lip to ensure that the focus is kept on this stunning couture gown.
Joanne Froggatt surprisingly won the 2015 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series over many that were expected to win, will she do so again at the 2015 Emmy Awards? Critics are saying that is highly unlikely but I am sure Joanne will be on point on the red carpet anyway. I picked this Oscar de la Renta Resort 2016 teal & magenta strapless sweetheart gown which features ruching at the A-line waist and a column skirt with raffia embroidery and beading at the front and a back vent. I would keep the matching magenta belt that the gown was presented with on the runway and add a pair of gold sandals and a gold clutch to finish this look off for the Emmys red carpet.
"Orange is the New Black's" Uzo Aduba has what it takes to knock Christina Hendricks off the top and take home this years Supporting Actress Drama award at the Emmy Awards and, much like last year, I am sure that she will be working on top form. Last year Uzo sizzled in a sexy red Christian Siriano gown and this year I am hoping to see Uzo go the more glamorous and froufrou princess route. I think that this peacock blue Marchesa Resort 2015 strapless tulle ruffled ball gown is perfect for a major awards show red carpet. This is the look a winner would wear. Styled with a matching Edie Parker clutch, a pair of silver sandals, a pair of stunning drop earrings, a sleek updo, and a red lip would ensure that Uzo really is the belle of the ball.

I will be live tweeting this years Emmy Awards red carpet and telecast with Kelly from Dream In Lace on September 20. I hope you will follow me and Kelly on Twitter and join in on the conversation! I am excited as this is our awards tradition now, so pop your bubbly and join in the fun.

Best Dressed at the 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards

The Screen Actors Guild Awards were held last night at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The stars came out in droves to support themselves and their nominated casts. Despite this being a night of honoring actors it was a plus one who took home my top honor. Camila Alves came on the arm of her hubby Matthew McConaughey. Camila definitely left her disheveled husband (like seriously whats up with the castaway beard?) in the dust wearing a stunning custom Donna Karan Atelier sculpturally draped eggplant strapless gown. Minimal styling and perfect hair and make up finished off a look that stood leaps and bounds above the actors on their big night.
Taking the menswear inspiration to a whole new level Emma Stone wore an impactful custom Christian Dior Couture ensemble. Had this been on anyone else I think that I would have been putting this on the worst dressed list, but Emma pull it off with major aplomb. The sleek hair, red lip, Repossi earcuffs, and Christian Louboutin sandals just sealed this look off with a sultry kiss. Julianne Moore, the Outstanding Female Actor in a Motion Picture winner, shocked me by wearing another custom Givenchy Couture gown on the red carpet last night. I had figured that after wearing Givenchy for the Golden Globe Awards (and topping best dressed lists in it) that Julianne would go to one of her other trusted brands (like Chanel, Dior, Tom Ford, or Balenciaga) for the SAG Awards. I am not complaining because Julianne looks amazing in this emerald beaded Givenchy Couture scoop neck gown. Green is always a delight to see on a red head and Julianne knows that formula very well. Felicity Jones really wowed me wearing this amazing soft pink custom Balenciaga column gown with a sculptural criss-cross portrait neckline. Felicity does this mix of modern and vintage so well and she is just living up to my title of One to Watch that I gave her at the end of last year.
Reese Witherspoon has been on and off of the best and worst dressed lists recently. I was happy that when she showed up at the Screen Actors Guild Awards last night that I was able to firmly put her on the best. Her custom one shoulder Giorgio Armani gown with subtle matte white sequin detailing, was an amazing refreshing modern choice. I am so used to seeing Reese in vintage inspired styles that this ultra modern look was something that I don't know if I would have predicted but I absolutely love. Uzo Aduba, who won Outstanding Female Actor in a Comedy Series, really brought modern life to the red carpet in her Angel Sanchez Spring 2015 RTW gown. One of the few ladies on this list who got her gown off of the runway, I have to say that I was blown away. She has really stepped right into the role of red carpet diva. She keeps getting better and better with every single red carpet that she steps on. If you had told me that Sofia Vergara was going to show up at the SAG Awards in Donna Karan Atelier, I would have totally agreed (she has worn the brand to the SAGs for the past 3 years now), BUT if you had told me that it was not going to be a mermaid gown I would have laughed. I was pleasantly surprised to see Sofia wearing a soft draped Donna Karan Atelier corseted one shoulder red gown. The Colombian beauty really wowed. She showcased all of her famous curves without wearing something skin tight.
Another knock me down with a feather moment was when I realized that I was going to be putting Sarah Paulson on my best dressed list. The "American Horror Story" actress has never really been a favorite of mine, but she has been getting better with each appearance lately. This amazing Armani Prive ensemble that consisted of a white structured cape top and black silk crepe skirt was a red carpet knockout. She really showed her true beauty with this gown. Lupita Nyong'o really let me down at the Golden Globe Awards in Giambattista Valli, so I was really happy she redeemed herself last night. Lupita turned to the red carpet king, Elie Saab, and his Pre-Fall 2015 collection to pick her gown for this red carpet. Making a bold statement with this long sleeve multi pattern ball gown, I have to say that I let out a squeal when I saw a quick glimpse of her and it just got louder when I saw the whole look. And lastly, and I know that this will be a controversial choice, I have to say that I loved Claire Danes in her custom Marc Jacobs hunter green halter gown with side embellishments. Once I had pulled pictures of all of the stars and was looking to fill the last spot in my top 10 my eyes kept coming back to this design. I gotta say I am happy because for the past 2 years Claire has ended up on my worst dressed list for her SAG gown and this year it was something that I absolutely fell in love with.

2015 Golden Globe Awards: Michelle, Robin, Ruth, Taylor, Uzo, & Viola Wish List

Today marks the last day of red carpet wishes for the 2015 Golden Globe Award nominees, starting tomorrow will be presenters! We are getting close ladies and gentlemen! Only 4 more days! Michelle Monaghan is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television at Sunday nights awards thanks to her HBO mini-series "True Detective." I was absolutely loving almost everything that Michelle was putting down on the red carpet last year and I am hoping that she keeps up her red carpet mojo during awards season. I picked this dramatic Georges Hobeika Fall 2014 Couture trumpet gown with metallic lace and a portrait neckline for the actress to work as she walks the red carpet. A chic chignon, a light face of makeup, a clutch dyed to match, and a pair of gold pumps would ensure that Michelle makes a major red carpet impact.
Robin Wright is nominated Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama for her hit Netflix web series "House of Cards," again come Sunday night. Robin has recently brought a minimalist wardrobe in neutrals to the red carpet in all of her ensembles and I am predicting that is not going to change any time soon. Based on that is why I picked this cream Ralph Rucci Spring 2015 RTW crepe silk dress that features sheer mesh panels on the upper arm and just below the knee and a soft v-neckline. I think that Robin would look stunning in this gown really showcasing her mastering minimalism. Gold sandals would be all that I would add to finish this look off for the red carpet for Sunday's Golden Globe Awards.
Ruth Wilson has been slowly growing on me with her red carpet style as time runs on. I am hoping that this pattern continues at Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards where her role in the Showtime breakout hit "The Affair" has garnered her a nomination for Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama. Despite the fact that I believe that Robin Wright will ultimately take home the trophy I am hoping Ruth will bring it for the Globes. I picked this navy Elie Saab Fall 2014 Couture embellished ball gown with cape like blouse for this red carpet. This is a very dramatic statement for an actress not nominated for film or expected to win in her category to make but I think it is one that Ruth could and would pull off with great aplomb. A wavy bob, a red lip, and a pair of dyed to match navy sandals would make this a perfect red carpet look for Ruth and the Golden Globe Awards.
I have been in love with Taylor Schilling since her first Emmy Awards back in 2013 where she wowed in a custom white hot Thakoon gown. It was her big break into the red carpet world and her steam has not even started to slow. With a nomination for Best Actress in a TV Series, Comedy or Musical thanks to her hit Netflix web series "Orange Is The New Black" I am hoping that her steam doesn't slow. After donning couture for the 2014 Emmy Awards I think we are setting up to see Taylor wear an even more amazing couture look Sunday night. I would love to see her in this amazing Atelier Versace Fall 2014 Couture one shoulder white gown that features color blocking with black and silver Swarovski embellishments on the bodice and strap. Finish the look with a white clutch, and white sandals covered in crystal embellishments a red lip, a pair of short drop earrings, and a chic up-do will make sure that Taylor wins the night on the red carpet even if she doesn't take home one of the coveted Golden Globes.
Last year was a big year for Uzo Aduba. She won an Emmy and a Critics Choice Award for her role as Crazy Eyes in the Netflix series "Orange Is The New Black" and Sunday night she is nominated, and expected to win, Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television. Uzo also made leaps and bounds on the red carpet, unexpectedly wowing me wearing a vampy red custom Christian Siriano gown at the 2014 Emmy Awards. I am hoping that she brings the same wow to me come Sunday night. I picked this optical white hand beaded Zac Posen Spring 2015 RTW that features a boned bustier bodice, a tonal hand embroidered and beaded panel at the front, an angular construction at the sides and pleating at the back because I think that it is time to see Uzo have a real princess moment. She is not longer a guest star and the spotlight is on her. Finish the look with some stunning statement earrings, a diamond bracelet, a pair of silver pumps, a bold red lip, and slicked back elegant hair to ensure that Uzo has a major moment on the Golden Globes red carpet.
Viola Davis killed, no pun intended, her performance as Annalise Keating in the breakout ABC drama "How To Get Away With Murder." It came as no surprise that she earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama for the show. I am praying to the awards gods that she takes home the trophy because I absolutely love her in this show. I picked a bold gown for her to wear as I believe that it will be her big night. This hot pink Ralph Lauren Spring 2015 RTW silk tulle skirted gown with a t-shirt top with stunning necklace style embellishments would make for a wow moment from that actress that has really failed to light my fire as of late. A pink clutch, the runways pink sandals, and a red lip will finish this look off and almost guarantee that Viola will top best dressed lists.
