'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' London Premiere Wish List

Monday will bring the start of the international promotional tour for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.' I cant not wait! I am so excited to see what Jennifer Lawrence will bring to the red carpet. Will she be exclusively Christian Dior, she is a spokesmodel for the brand, like fellow model Natalie Portman was during her 'Thor: The Dark World' premieres? Or will she surprise us wearing other brands for the big premieres. I think that for the London premiere that there is no shot that we will not see any other brand on Jennifer than Christian Dior. I think that for this premiere that this red two tiered Christian Dior Fall 2013 Couture strapless gown. I have mixed feelings about Jennifer in Dior but I do believe that this gown will be absolutely amazing. With her new pixie cut, which she did because her hair was fried and she wanted to rebuild it, a red Dior clutch, a pair of gold sandals, and some simple jewelry Jennifer will have a perfect look for this premiere.
I have been sad that I have not seen a whole lot of Elizabeth Banks on the red carpet this year because she is usually a favorite of mine. For the London premiere of 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' I would love to see the lover of the avant-garde wear this amazing emerald Schiaparelli Fall 2013 Couture, sari inspired gown. This collection was created simply as a tribute and is not being produced, much to the sadness of many fashion lovers. Like with the Tilda Swinton wish earlier this week, I am still holding out hope that we will still get to see some of the creations on the red carpet. Elizabeth would compliment this gown so well and I would just die if she wore it. A gold Edie Parker confetti clutch, a pair of gold sandals, and some Veronica Lake waves over one shoulder and simple emerald jewels will finish this look and breathe life into a cold London night.

'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' Premiere Wish List

Last year we saw Cate Blanchett take to the red carpet in London (in Givenchy) and Wellington, New Zealand (in Antonio Berardi) to premiere 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.' I am hoping that this year we will see Cate take to every red carpet that is possible to premiere this film (mostly just because I love to see her wear fabulous clothing on the red carpet.) As the film is mostly filmed in New Zealand this is where the cast usually gathers to have the world premiere of the film. Now I am going to forgive Cate for the god awful hideous Christian Dior quilt she wore during the Deauville American Film Festival but I think that she could redeem herself with the brand by wearing this absolutely amazing black with blue crystal embellishments for the world premiere. Recently we have seen Cate move away from the classic Hollywood glam looks that we love on her to wear more fashion-y avant garde looks and I have to say that I love it. A year ago I would have never put Cate and this gown on the same post. A black clutch, a pair of black pumps, and some simple jewels would complete this look and make me die once again for this woman.
After Wellington usually comes London, as of right now a date can not be confirmed for the Royal Gala Premiere. For this premiere I am wishing to see Cate wear this amazing dove grey Marchesa Spring 2014 RTW gown, that was sold in pre-order on ModaOperandi. Cate has not worn a Marchesa design before but recently she has been experimenting will all kinds of new designers. I have been really wowed by the new collaborations and I think that this gown would look amazing on Cate. This dress is in total contrast to the Christian Dior wish as this is very classic and feminine while the Dior is avant garde and edgy. To meet the royals in this premiere I think that this is appropriate. Finish the look with just some simple diamond jewels and a pair of silver sandals and Cate will have another winning look on her hands.
Last but not least I am creating a wish for Cate Blanchett for the LA Premiere of this film. We have not seen her attend one for 'The Hobbit' yet nor is there one confirmed. I might just have created it because I wanted to create a wish for my favorite woman Cate to wear my favorite red carpet designer Elie Saab. Much like with Marchesa, Cate has never worn a design by Elie Saab and I am very upset about this because I just think her beauty with his designs would be a match made in heaven. This emerald green Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture gown with a lace watteau train would literally make my heart stop beating the moment I saw it. The color on Cate would be fantastic and a rare treat because she usually sticks to softer colors or black and white. Finish the look with an emerald Edie Parker clutch, a pair of the matching Elie Saab emerald satin pumps, and some amazing vintage Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry and a hospital trip to restart my heart would be certified.

2013 Rome Film Festival: 'Snowpiercer' Premiere Wish List

We have not seen enough of Tilda Swinton on the red carpet this year, especially with 2 movies on the festival circuit, and I am hoping that during the 2013 Rome Film Festival she will take to the red carpet to premiere her film 'Snowpiercer.' During Fall 2013 Couture fashion week Christian Lacroix presented a capsule tribute to Schiaparelli. While the collection did not and will not go into production I am still hoping to see a lucky few grab up some of the looks for the red carpet. Tilda is one of those few and this amazing black, white, and gold Schiaparelli Fall 2013 Couture collection. This is an edgy design that I believe would look fantastic on Tilda, and she is one of the few women in Hollywood that could totally pull off this avant garde ensemble.

2013 Rome Film Festival: 'Romeo & Juliet' Premiere Wish List

Despite the only promotion that was done for 'Romeo & Juliet' being an LA Premiere back in September the film will still have a red carpet premiere during the 2013 Rome Film Festival. Star Hailee Steinfeld was not amongst the 'Best Dressed of September' in her Prabal Gurung dress at the LA premiere, mostly because I thought it was too grown up for the 16 year old actress. This bright yellow Giambattista Valli Fall 2013 Couture gown is a fun youthful choice that I would love to see on Hailee. She has had so many great looks in the past but recently I just think that she has gone too grungy for her red carpet good, she really should stick to sleek and fun as those are her best red carpet ensembles. Finish the look with gold Brian Atwood platform sandals, a gold clutch, and a simple fun up-do and Hailee will wow in Rome.

2013 CMA Awards Host Carrie Underwood Wish List

Carrie Underwood has been the Hostess with the Mostest for the CMA Awards for as long as I can recall. This is usually her best night of fashion as she has multiple costume changes. As the hostess, a nominee, and presenter Carrie really shows up all of her talents; but before she takes to the stage Carrie must take to the red carpet. For the red carpet I have chosen to wish for Carrie to wear this amazing tangerine orange Zuhair Murad Resort 2014 halter neck embellished chiffon gown. This is a dress that is completely out of Carries norm for her red carpet dressing, its much more overtly sexy and I think that this is exactly how Carrie should go.
To open the show I think that this pastel lavender based Dennis Basso Resort 2014 ball gown. Carrie was the first person that I thought of when I saw this gown and I just know that she has to wear it for the 2013 CMA Awards. Dennis Basso is a totally under appreciated designer on the red carpet and I think that the world needs to see more of his designs and Carrie should be one to help do this. Next is this navy and gold Romona Kevesa Spring 2014 RTW mullet gown, which I think is this amazing modern look that I would love to see Carrie wear. Now she cant just wear all ballgown, even though I totally would love to see her do that, so I picked this black, white, and hot pink Christian Siriano Resort 2014 geometric print strapless cocktail dress. As you can tell I am mostly going totally left of what Carrie would normally wear so that she can have an amazing set of new looks as her overly embellished gowns and cocktail dresses are starting to get really stale.
After the quick break from gowns in that Christian Siriano number I would put Carrie back in a flowing cream Naeem Khan Spring 2014 RTW embellished halter gown. This is a favorite from the Spring 2014 RTW collections and I can not see who gets their hands on it first. I think that Carrie would look absolutely stunning in this amazing gown. Follow that with another short number this time a floral embellished Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2014 RTW cocktail dress. I am a little unsure if Carrie could grab this dress right off the runway but it totally fits in the country theme of the night. And finally Carrie should go out with a bang wearing this black Reem Acra Spring 2014 RTW tulle ball gown with silver beaded embellishments on the bodice. All of these looks look absolutely amazing, would look amazing on Carrie, and would be the perfect looks for the 2013 CMA Awards.

2013 Rome Film Festival: 'Gods Behaving Badly' Premiere Wish List

Sharon Stone has had a great year on the red carpet wearing designs by Versace and Roberto Cavalli. She really shined in her 3 Roberto Cavalli gowns during the Cannes Film Festival and I am hoping to see her keep up her track record from then during the Rome Film Festival premiere of her film 'Gods Behaving Badly.' While she might not be the first person to come to mind when I think of Elie Saab but this navy blue one shouldered gown from the Elie Saab Fall 2013 Couture collection is something that I would totally love to see Sharon wear. This gown is a mix of high glamour and sex appeal which can embody Sharon's sense of style. Finish the look with some fabulous diamond and sapphire earrings, a pair of navy Salvatore Ferragamo pumps, and a silver Salvatore Ferragamo minaudiere to give just the right amount of accessory to have an award winning look.

'Thor: The Dark World' LA Premiere Wish List

Natalie Portman wore a Dior gown with a weird texture, that I didn't like from the runway, for the New York City Ballet Fall Gala; but when she has stepped out in London, Paris, and Berlin to premiere 'Thor: The Dark World' she has stunned in other amazing Christian Dior ensembles. For the LA Premiere of this film I am hoping that Natalie will really wow me. I think that Natalie should take this pink Christian Dior Spring 2014 RTW asymmetrical embellished cocktail dress and have it lengthened into a full length gown. It would almost remind me of an avant garde Rodarte look that Natalie used to favor so much on the red carpet. A pair of silver sandals, a pink clutch, simple hair and make-up will finish off this amazing red carpet ensemble.
I have been surprised that Elsa Pataky has not taken to the red carpet during the 'Thor: The Dark World' promotional tour on the arm of her husband, Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth. During the time that Chris was traveling the world earlier this Fall promoting his Indy racing film 'Rush,' his beautiful Spanish wife, Elsa, was always within reach and always wearing amazing designs. For the 'Thor: The Dark World' LA Premiere I think that Elsa should wear this amazing black beaded Naeem Khan Spring 2014 RTW cap sleeve top and cigarette pant ensemble. This is the perfect look for a star in her own right who is taking to the red carpet to support her famous husband. Finish the look with a black clutch, a pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps, and a bold red lip to have a perfect red carpet look for the occasion of her mans big premiere.
