2013 Golden Globe Awards Wish List: Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture

Amy Adams is one of the few lucky women whom which Carolina Herrera will lend out clothing too. I think that for the 2013 Golden Globe Awards Amy should wear this black and white graphic Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2013 ball gown. I think that this gown would look stunning on the pale skinned red head and that she would rock the hell out of this design. Pair it with some black pumps, a silver clutch, a bold pink lip, and some stunning jewelry and Amy is set for success.
Anne Hathaway has been wowing me on the red carpet since the chopping off of her hair for her film 'Les Miserables,' which I believe she will win the Golden Globe for her work in. Anne has been constantly stepping out of the pretty dresses that she has always been known for and wearing some amazing avant garde gowns. A year ago I never would have picked this aqua Atelier Versace Fall 2012 Couture gown, I have said that the likes of Uma Thurman and Laetitia Casta to wear, and now I only can see Anne wearing it. She would finish this look with a silver clutch, silver Jimmy Choo sandals, and some amazing jewelry.
Helen Hunt is stunning at 49 and has already garnered herself a best dressed look for her cream Amen Couture gown that she wore for the 2012 Academy's Governors Awards. For the 2013 Golden Globe Awards I have chosen to put the actress nominated for her film 'The Sessions' in this black and electric blue color blocked David Meister Spring 2013 RTW gown. I think that this is the perfect option for the star who has an elegant sophisticated classic style. Pair this gown with a black Judith Leiber crystal encrusted clutch, a pair of black strappy sandals, a pair of simple earrings, and a statement bracelet and she is bound to look like the nominated actress that she is.
Nicole Kidman is bound to wear one L'Wren Scott gown on the red carpet this awards season. The stunning Australian actress is not only nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 'The Paperboy' but for Best Actress in a Television Movie or Miniseries for her role in 'Hemingway & Gellhorn.' Nicole may pick up a statue for 'Hemingway & Gelhorn' and if she does she will look extremely elegant wearing this black L'Wren Scott Spring 2013 RTW gown with a lace back. The problem that I have with Nicole wearing these gowns is that she seems to pick the current seasons version on the gown that she always wears. She has worn a Nina Ricci gown very similar to this in 2010. Finish this look off with some amazing pierre hardy kitten heels (so that she is not taller than her husband and fellow nominee Keith Urban), a black box clutch, and some stunning Fred Leighton emerald earrings.

2013 Golden Globe Awards Wish List: Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama

Dame Helen Mirren is in her upper sixties and she still knows how to bring it on the red carpet. Last year whilst promoting 'Hitchcock,' the film that has earned her the Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama nomination, Helen exclusively wore Dolce and Gabbana for all her red carpet appearances. Each look was a different variation on the black lace with gold embroidery looks that took to the runway during the finale of the Dolce and Gabbana Fall 2012 RTW collection. I am hoping to see some different looks from the beautiful seasoned actress which is why I have chosen to want to see her in this peachy Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture gown. The moment I saw the image of this gown I have been calling it for Helen. I think that this is a perfect gown for her to wear for the Golden Globe Awards. Finish it with gold pumps and a gold clutch and I will fan girl while watching the E! Live From The Red Carpet special.
Jessica Chastain has snagged another Golden Globe nomination for the second year in a row jumping from the Supporting Actress comedy for 'The Help' last year to Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for 'Zero Dark Thirty' this year. I have missed seeing Miss Chastain wearing the designs of Zac Posen so for this event I have chosen to put her in this navy blue Zac Posen Spring 2013 RTW gown. I think that this gown is something that Jessica would rock without a doubt in an old Hollywood way finishing the look with Veronica Lake wave hairstyle, navy Christian Loubotuin sandals, and some sapphire and diamond jewelry.
Marion Cotillard is my choice to take home the Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama trophy for her role in 'Rust and Bone.' The Christian Dior spokesmodel will undoubtedly wear a Dior gown for the award show and of the gowns that remain from the Christian Dior Fall 2012 Couture collection I think that this dove grey and raspberry embellished gown will be her choice. Marion has become very predictable on the red carpet and I believe that without a doubt that this post will become a dream come true. I would finish this look with a pair of silver Christian Dior pumps and some amazing Chopard diamonds.
I have grown to love seeing Naomi Watts on the red carpet, so much that she is featured on the blogs banner image. Since she attended the Cannes Film Festival premiere of 'Madagascar 3' back in May of last year wearing a stunning Marchesa gown she has been back on my radar. For this event for which she is nominated for her work in 'The Impossible' Naomi Should wear this ivory and gold Marchesa Spring 2013 RTW gown. Naomi has a friendship with Marchesa wearing several looks by them last year. I think that this gown is elegant and perfect for the star. Finish off the look with a gold Marchesa clutch, gold Christian Louboutin sandals, and a diamond bracelet she will make best dressed lists across the world.
Rachel  Weisz has had a great red carpet run in 2012 between promoting her own films she also gave some of her best looks whilst playing arm candy for her husband, Daniel Craig. She is nominated for her own work in the film, The Deep Blue Sea,She should wear this stunning Vera Wang Fall 2013 Bridal gown. I think that this gown might be a little too much for the event but why shouldn't Rachel wow us. Finish this look with a gold clutch and gold pumps and she will be a grand slam.

2013 Golden Globe Awards Wish List: Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical

Emily Blunt is nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical for 'Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.' Emily will most likely not make it to the Academy Awards with this because it is a comedy and the nominations in the Best Actress category usually goes to those in dramatic films. So I would love to see Emily bring Paris couture to this event wearing this Ottoman Empire inspired Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture cornflower blue gown. Emily has worn some amazing looks in the past and quite a few have been by Elie Saab. This gown is definitely one of the more avant garde looks that walked this collection and I think that Emily is one of the few that would be able to pull off this look. Finish it with a gold satin Kotur clutch with a tassel, some gold strappy heels, and a sleek hairstyle and she is set to be on the best dressed lists.
I am going to give Jennifer the night off of wearing Christian Dior for this event. I think that the young actress the desperately needs to regain her footing on the red carpet would look stunning in this white and black Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2013 gown. Jennifer has stuck to wearing Dior for most of her major red carpet appearances so I do kind of find it unlikely that the star will not wear a Dior gown but I am hoping for something different. I hope she follows in fellow Dior spokesmodel Natalie Portman's footsteps by always incorporating the brand into her look but not always wearing the brand head to toe like Marion Cotillard. Pair this look with an aqua Christian Dior clutch, the Christian Louboutin teal 'Vampanodo' sandals, and finish the look with Dior Haute Jewelry.
No Golden Globe Awards ceremony is complete without a nomination for Meryl Streep. Meryl is nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for 'Hope Springs,' I do not believe that she will take home the trophy but she will look age appropriate and glamorous no matter what. I wold love to see her wear this midnight blue silk Valentino Fall 2012 Couture gown for the awards ceremony. I think that this gown is perfect for Meryl and hits all the signatures that she is known for, sleeves, modesty, and glamorous draping. Pair it with matching midnight blue Salvatore Ferragamo pumps, a midnight blue clutch, and finish it off with some sparkling sapphire and diamond jewelry and she is done.

2013 Golden Globe Awards Wish List: The Hostesses

The funny ladies of NBC are hosting the Golden Globe Awards this year. Amy Pohler is one of the lovely ladies. Now when we think of Amy we don't necessarily think of outstanding red carpet style. Well as an event hostess Amy will have to step up her game if she is going to make the required multiple costume changes throughout the event. For the red carpet I would love to see Amy wear this powder blue Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2012 RTW. I think that this gown is totally within Amy's red carpet style. 
For the actual production here are my wishes for Amy. First we have a cream Naeem Khan Spring 2013 RTW gown. I think that this gown is simple yet different in an extremely good way, finish this off with some gold strappy heels and she is ready to open the show. The mint Peter Som Resort 2013 gown is something that Amy would stereotypically pick out for a red carpet appearance, so why wouldn't she wear something that is totally in her comfort zone. I love the yellow J. Mendel Fall 2012 RTW gown and I think that Amy would look amazing in this design. The color would look amazing on her. Finally I have this black TadashI Shoji Spring 2013 RTW gown. I was not a huge fan of this look when I saw it walk the runway in New York Fashion Week in September, but looking at it now it is the perfect gown for Amy.

I am more looking forward to seeing Tina Fey walk the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards. I have grown to start to appreciate Tina' s style and think that of the two hostesses that Tina will definitely be the one to bring the fashion factor. For the red carpet I would love to see Tina wear this stunning draped Oscar de la Renta Resort 2013 gown. Tina tends to wear a lot of black on the red but every so often she steps out of that box and wows w wearing a bold color like the red of this gown. Finish this look with a gold clutch, gold pumps, and some simple gold jewelry and Tina is on her way to a best dressed position.
Never thought I would say that I believe that Tina Fey would be the one to bring the fashion factor but I am expecting some amazing looks from her during the duration of the telecast. I would love to see Tina open the show in a show stopping manner wearing this dot printed Naeem Khan Fall 2012 RTW gown. I have seen another dress from this collection that has the same print up close and personal and it is a spectacular pattern and would turn many heads for sure. Next I have chosen this white, black, and gold Oscar de la Renta Spring 2013 RTW gown. This gown was one of my favorites from all of the spring collections and I think that Tina would look fantastic in this creation. Follow that up with the gown that I wished for her to wear to the 2012 Emmy Awards, a stunning L' Wren Scott Fall 2012 RTW purple velvet gown. This gown is old Hollywood glam and Tina would look fantastic in this design. I would have Tina finish off the evening wearing this stunning Elie Saab Resort 2013 black beaded gown. This gown was made to sparkle under hundreds of bright stage lights and would make a dramatic end to the evening.

2013 Critics Choice Awards Wish List Part 3

Leslie Mann has been one of the most underrated stars on the red carpet. She wowed me last year at the Academy Awards wearing a stunning navy blue Roberto Cavalli gown with a dramatic train. For this years Critics Choice Awards I would love to see Leslie wear this amazing black sequin Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2013 gown. I of course for the 40 year old actress would have the skirt lined in black so there is some modesty. Finish it off with some emerald and diamond earrings, a black and emerald clutch, and black pumps and she will wow when the camera pans to her during the presentation of  the Best Actress in a Comedy for 'This Is 40.' I am looking forward to whatever she ends up wearing.
Jessica Chastain made the 2012 Vanity Fair Best Dressed List and I know why. She is one of the ladies in Hollywood that exudes glam. Nominated this year for Best Actress for her work in 'Zero Dark Thirty,' Jessica is bound to walk the red carpets looking amazing. After a short year since she wore a gold Oscar de la Renta gown for the BAFTA Awards last year I am hoping to see her wear this gold fringe gown. Jessica seems to have a phobia of carrying a clutch on the red carpet but I think that she needs the runway clutch to help accessorize this look and some Jimmy Choo nude sandals to finish off this amazing best dressed worthy look for this awards show.
Marion Cotillard is a brand ambassador for French couture house Christian Dior and as such she usually wears their designs on the red carpet for almost all her red carpet appearances. Well since I have already posted a wish for Dior spokesmodel Jennifer Lawrence, I have decided to wish for Marion to wear a gown from one of her other favorite designers,Bouchra Jarrar. As soon as I saw this forest green Bouchra Jarrar Fall 2012 Couture walk the runway in Paris last July, I have been wishing to see Marion wear it as she I has been one of the only celebrities to don the designers work. This gown is showstopping and simple all at the same time, which is perfect for the Critics Choice Awards.
Former Christian Dior spokesmodel Mila Kunis is nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy for her work in 'TED.' I think that this aqua blue Atelier Versace Fall 2012 Culture gown is perfect for her and this event. Mila is a rare beauty and has been a delight to see grace the red carpet and I am really looking forward to seeing what she ends up wearing at this years Critics Choice Awards. Pair this stunning couture creation with a simple embellished Judith Leiber clutch, a pair of silver metallic Jimmy Choo sandals, and some glamorous diamond jewelry and Milas look would be complete.
Naomi Watts is one of the celebs that I either love or hate when she steps out on the red carpet. Lately I have been in love with what she has been gracing the red carpet with and I am really looking forward to seeing what she has up her sleeve for the 2013 Critics Choice Awards. I am hoping to see her wear this nice laser cut Roberto Cavalli Spring 2013 EYE gown. This would look sensational on Naomi. This is a perfect simple gown for the smaller award ceremony which Naomi is nominated for her work in the film 'The Impossible.' Finish the look with some simple streamlined flat gold accessories and we have the perfect simple ensemble.

2013 Critics Choice Awards Wish List Part 2

Emily Blunt is nominated for Best Actress in an Action Movie. The stunning British beauty is a huge fan of French brand Giambattista Valli which is why I have chosen to put her in a red gown from the brands Resort 2013 collection. I think that this gown would look amazing on Emily who is nominated for one lesser known awards and still needs to shine. I think that with her skin and hair color this would be divine. Finish this look with an up-do, a gold clutch, and some gold pumps and she is set to wow at this event.
Helen Hunt has made a red carpet comeback and is nominated for the Best Supporting Actress for her role in 'The Sessions.' For this awards show I have chosen to put Helen in this coral Escada Resort 2013 gown. I think that this gown is regal and glamorous as well as event and age appropriate. Pair this gown with a gold clutch, gold pumps, and a a diamond necklace and she is set to be one of the regal women on the red carpet.
Jennifer Garner is not nominated for any awards at the 2013 Critics Choice Awards but she has been on her husband, Ben Afleck's arm through the promotional tour of his film 'Argo.' She wow'ed me at one of the premieres wearing a red Monique Lhuillier gown, well I found this amazing aqua Monique Lhuillier Spring 2013 gown. Why break up a winning pair if you don't have to? I think that this gown would look amazing on Jennifer and is simple enough to wear and not overshadow and of the nominees. Finish this look with some silver embellished accessories and diamonds and she is complete for the event.
Jennifer Lawrence ended 2012 on a bad note wearing some ugly looks by Christian Dior which she is a new face of. The actress who is nominated for two awards, Best Actress for 'Silver Linings Playbook' and Best Actress in a Action Movie for 'The Hunger Games,' needs to work on her look. I think that this red Christian Dior Fall 2012 Couture (Not RTW) gown would look good on her but there can be no train as this event is not that high fashion. Finish with a pair of gold strappy sandals and she is ready to take the world by storm.

2013 Critics Choice Awards Wish List Part 1

The Critics Choice Awards is the first major red carpet awards ceremony of the 2013 Awards Season. Coinciding with the announcement of the 2013 Academy Award Nominations on January 10th I am looking forward to seeing all the stars step out in their red carpet glam for the award show. Amanda Seyfried is not directly nominated for an award but her film 'Les Miserables' is nominated for Best Acting Ensemble and Best Picture. Amanda could end up attending the event as just a guest or a presenter. I wold love to see her wear this black Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2013 gown. I think that this gown is extremely elegant and show stopping without the power to upstage her nominated co-stars as well as the other nominees. Pair this gown with a gold and black Alexander McQueen clutch, a gold cuff, and some black and gold pumps and she is set to wow on the red carpet.
Anne Hathaway has been wowing me on the red carpet since she has cut off all of her hair. The edgy pixie cut that she did for her role as Fantine in 'Les Miserables' has given Anne a whole new look on the red carpet wearing edgy looks that she never would have looked at in the past. I would love to see Anne wear this amazing teal J. Mendel Spring 2013 RTW gown for the 2013 Critics Choice Awards. Anne is nomnated for Best Supporting Actress for 'Les Miserables' and has a running chance at winning the award. I would love to see her walk home with the Critcs Choice Award and a Best Dressed Award. Pair tis gown with a silver box clutch, some silver or teal strappy sandals, and some amazing Chopard diamonds and she is set to stun whether she takes home the trophy or not.
Also nominated for Best Supporting Actress with Anne Hathaway, is Amy Adams for her film 'The Master.' I would love to see Amy wow me, but she is either a huge hit or she is a big flop for me on the red carpet there is rarely an in between with Amy. For this event I have chosen this 1920's inspired gown from one of Amy's go to designers L'Wren Scott's Spring 2013 RTW collection. I have to say that L'Wren Scott designs have almost become stale on the red carpet because of people like Nicole Kidman who wear every look in the collection and they all have the same design ascetic. This is one of the few that I am in love with. Amy would pair this gown with a black clutch and some black Brian Atwood 'Wagner' pumps.
Elle Fanning is not one of my favorites on the red carpet. Since her debut on the red carpet in 2010 I have not been in love with one of her looks. This is because she tends to wear things that are either down right ugly or they wash her out. I had a hard time trying to pick a gown for Elle, but I ultimately decided upon this Valentino Spring 2013 RTW gown. Elle wears these 1970's style gowns often and the style can usually work but the styling usually doesn't. First of all I would love to see Elle dye her hair back to the red color she was sporting last summer as it helps not wash her out. Then the styling would be a bold purple clutch, and some black strappy sandals. If she takes my advice she very well may end up hearing high praises from me as she walks the red carpet at this event.
