Cannes Film Festival: L'Oreal Paris Spokesmodel Kerry Washington Wish List

Kerry Washington is someone that I have missed at Cannes. The stunning actress has donned for the festival designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Zuhair Murad, Monique Lhuillier, and Oscar de la Renta in the past but has not been in attendance since 2009. I am hoping that 2012 is the year of her return with a hit TV show and two movies in the works no better time than the present for her to make her triumphant return.
For this triumphant return I have picked four stunning glamorous gowns for the actress and spokemodel to wear. First up we have a stunning vibrant purple Andrew Gn Fall 2012 RTW gown with black gothic lace detail. I think that this gown is ethereal and edgy all in one which is an extremely hard thing to do in a single look. Add a simple black clutch (or no clutch), simple black strappy sandals and no jewels to just let the gown do the talking, along with Kerry's diva-tude. Next we have a powder blue Elie Saab Spring 2009 Couture gown, I think that this color would look amazing on Kerry and I would love to see her back in Elie as she hasn't worn a gown or look by him in a long time. This look would just get paired with silver peep toe pumps and a small diamond bracelet to finish it off. The third look is this amazing vampire chic Jason Wu Fall 2012 RTW black and red gown. I think that this is a look to let Kerry smoulder, which she doesn't do with her sweet ensembles all the time. Finally I would put her in this powder blue Zuhair Murad Spring 2012 Couture mermaid gown. This gown is a huge statement and Kerry has the attitude to pull it off even if she isn't the tallest girl in the band. Add a silver clutch, silver peep toe, and an amazing pair of earrings and she is set for a best dressed list somewhere.

Cannes Film Festival: L'Oreal Paris Spokesmodel Jane Fonda Wish List

At the age of 74 Jane Fonda is the oldest ever L'Oreal Paris spokemodel ever. And at 74 she always looks damn good. I have put her on the best dressed list numerous times most recently when she attended the HBO Golden Globes after party wearing this stunning Jack Gussio gown (pictured above.) She is not afraid to take risks and dresses rather sexily while still maintaining the grace and sophistication that comes with age.
For one appearance at the festival this year I would love for Fonda to wear this stunning sheer yoke and sleeved black Atelier Versace Fall 2011 Couture sequined gown. This gown would be something that Jane would wear and I hope to see her in it as she has such an amazing body and figure that there is no reason in hell that she shouldn't show it off. If I looked as good as she does I would too. Next we have this stunning pastel green Elie Saab Spring 2011 (not 2012 typo error) gown that is very 40's Old Hollywood reminiscent. To follow that I have this amazing blood red Georges Hobeika Signature Fall 2012 RTW gown, Jane has worn Georges before (like last years Golden Globes where Jane's nipple came out to tell the world hello) and has always looked stunning and as soon as I saw this gown I knew that Jane would be cat fighting to get her hands on it. The most stunning feature of this gown is actually the back where those sheer triangles on the shoulder invert together to make an embellished V shape on the back. And last but not least is this stunning figure hugging black long sleeved Giambattista Valli Fall 2011 Couture gown with a flowing white cape. For most events people would loose the cape, which is why I think that this look has not been worn as of yet, but for Jane for the Cannes Film Festival I think that this would be an amazing dramatic choice.

Cannes Film Festival: L'Oreal Paris Spokesmodel Frieda Pinto Wish List

Frieda Pinto is an absolutely stunning woman who we have seen blossom in couture before our eyes since she was trust onto the scene after the unexpected hit success of her first ever film 'Slumdog Millionaire.' She has gone on to be a muse for Chanel, a L'Oreal Paris spokesmodel and all around stunning red carpet fashionista, so needless to say I am really excited to see if she attends the 2012 Cannes Film Festival for L'Oreal.
The first look I would love to see Frieda wearing is this stunning silver satin Chanel Spring 2010 Couture gown with a draped sleeve. This gown to me gives of a mix of Old Hollywood mixed with the idea of a traditional Indian sari, and I think that this would look stunning on Frieda who donned another gown from this collection for last years MET Ball. Pair this with a simple silver clutch and sandals and that is all that is needed. Next we have this stunning deep purple Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2011 Couture gown that has a degrede train. I love Frieda in purple and I think that this is sexy while looking classy. Add a black clutch, black strappy sandals, diamond chandelier earrings, and a statement cuff with her hair pulled up and a smokey eye and she would ooooose sexual sophistication. Following that is another purple gown, this one a lavender tulle Marchesa gown with gold embellishment on the bodice. I think that this would look stunning on Frieda, like I said earlier I love her in purple and then add the gold this is the perfect mix for the stunning Indian beauty. Last but not lest we have this AMAZING emerald green Zac Posen Spring 2012 RTW gown. I think that this gown would just pop against Frieda's skin tone and bring this gown to life. Add a gold clutch and strappy sandals and I would be quite content.

Cannes Film Festival: Hemingway & Gelhorn Gala Premiere Wish List

At the Cannes Film Festival each year there are a few gala screenings of films that are not in competition for the festival but gives the jury some time off and of course adds more glamorous red carpet moments for the fashion obsessed. This premiere for this HBO film will be amazing for two reasons, the first being Nicole Kidman. I love seeing Nicole on the red carpet and I just hope to god that she does not revert back to wearing things that are hideous or boring to promote this as she has shown in the past she is on her best game when she is not promoting herself. For this premiere I would love to see Nicole wear this amazing deep purple velvet L'Wren Scott Fall 2012 RTW gown. For most this is an obvious choice as the Australian starlet has a long time relationship with the designer who is also her stylist, so it wont surprise me if Nicole don's a gown by the designer for at least one of her Cannes premieres. To complete this look I would add a black box clutch, black strappy sandals, simple earrings, and an amazing cuff style bracelet. The only problem that I can foresee in this gown is that it is velvet and the red carpet for this festival does take place outdoors in the hot summer suns of the French Riviera.
Parker Posey is supporting actress in the film and may attend the screening in Cannes as well. I am not as excited to see her as others who will be at the premiere because in a sea of women who always pump out the best looks on the red carpet Parker usually finds herself on the worst dressed lists. But anyway if she does I would love to see her wear this black and white patterned Naeem Khan Fall 2012 RTW one shouldered ball gown. I think that this would look absolutely stunning on Parker and if she wanted to spice the look up a bit she could add a bold clutch in yellow, pink, red, or green and pair the dress with black strappy sandals and maybe a diamond bracelet.
Diane Kruger is the other reason that I am excited for this premiere. Diane has always been a favorite of mine on the red carpet, last year she won the Red Carpet Diva of the Year (and this festival will put her back on track to win it again). Diane has a huge relationship with Karl Lagerfeld and wears Chanel like no other on the red carpet. So I will be shocked if that at some point in the the festival she does not don at least one amazing Chanel couture creation. I have picked this amazing white paillette and chiffon creation from the Spring 2009 Couture collection for Diane to wear to this premiere. Diane has donned this collection twice in the past. Once for the MET Ball and the amFAR Cinema Against AIDS events back in 2009. Diane is not one afraid to dig into the archives to find looks for her to wear on the red carpet and I think this would be a stunning bold choice for her. Simple strappy sandals and maybe some diamond and sapphire jewelery would be what this look would need to top it off.

Anna Kendrick Premiere Wish List for 'What To Expect When You're Expecting'

Sometimes I have an aversion to Anna Kendrick on the red carpet just because she tends to look the same or wear things that are not the best for her but I am kinda looking forward to seeing what she wears while promoting this movie.
For the Los Angeles premiere of the film I think that this strapless floral print Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2012 cocktail dress will be absolutely stunning for her. I think that this stunning dress is perfect for her. She should pair it with a black clutch, black strappy sandals, and her hair worn up and back. For the New York City premiere, which is usually a little more low key, I think that this Zuhair Murad Pre-Fall 2012 black dress with silver and gold embellishments. I love this dress and think that it is something that Anna has not worn before and I think that it would be a good choice for her. A gold clutch and gold strappy sandals are all that would be needed with her hair worn pulled back into a tight pony tail. And finally for London I think that she should wear this blue, yellow, white, and green swirl pattern Stella McCartney Evening 2012 dress. I think that this would be an amazing option for her and this collection has been extremely popular on the red carpet and I think that it would be great for her. Add a green clutch, blue strappy sandals, and hair pulled up would be perfect for this gown.

Elizabeth Banks Premiere Wish List for 'What To Expect When You're Expecting'

Elizabeth Banks has been having a great red carpet run this year with her amazing look at the Vanity Fair party look and all of her ensembles from the 'The Hunger Games' promotional tour so I am excited to see what she will bring to the red carpet for these premieres.
Elizabeth Banks is an unofficial brand ambassador for Versace so I will not be surprised to see that she is the first person to wear the Fall 2012 RTW collection with this embellished brown cocktail dress. A pair of bronze peep toes and clutch are perfect additions to this look. I would love this Andrew Gn Fall 2012 RTW black lace paneled dress is perfect for the New York premiere. Add a hot pink clutch and black peep toe pumps are what will make this look elegant and bright. Last but not least for London I would love to see Elizabeth wear this navy blue with a black ruffle Chadwick Bell Fall 2012 RTW cocktail dress modified to have those horrid sleeves removed. Elizabeth has already wowed once before at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party wearing a stunning green and blue polka dot and feather gown from the Chadwick Bell Fall 2012 RTW collection and I think that this would be something perfect for her. Add a pair of navy peep toe pump and a black embellished clutch as well as some amazing earrings and this could be best dressed worthy.

Jennifer Lopez Premiere Wish List for 'What To Expect When You're Expecting'

Jennifer Lopez is one of my favorite red carpet divas and I am praying to the heavens that she comes out to promote 'What To Expect When You're Expecting."
For the Los Angeles Premiere I would KILL to see Jennifer to wear this stunning Georges Hobeika Signature Fall 2012 RTW gold sequined dress. I think that this dress absolutely screams JLo and I pray yo god that she wears it. A pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps and a gold clutch are what is needed to complete this ensemble. For New York I think that this powder blue Lanvin Spring 2012 RTW dress would also be a very Jennifer look. She is one of the only women in the world that could pull off this look. A pair of gold spike embellished Christian Louboutin sandals and a gold metallic clutch and this ensemble would be amazing. And last but not least for London we have this amazing gold Roberto Cavalli Spring 2012 RTW dress. I think that this is also a great diva-licious ensemble for JLo paired with a metallic clutch and strappy sandals.
