Best Dressed Newcomer: Camila Alves

There were a bunch of celebrities in the running for this award but when I compared each of their bodies of work, I decided that Camila Alves was the one who is the best. Since she made her coming out at the Lincoln Lawyer Los Angeles Premiere. Camila is the model girlfriend and baby mama to stud Mathew McConaughey, so that is why she attended this premiere. She did so wearing a custom made Camilla & Marc black one shoulder silk gown paired with a Kotur clutch and Pomellato jewelery.
Camila let out her sexy side for the US Weekly Hot Hollywood Party, wearing a sexy but expected red Dolce & Gabbana bustier dress. Camila takes this stale dress and makes it absolutely stunning and breaths a new breath of life to this dress. A red clutch and silver sequin pumps completed this stunning ensemble.
For the Brazilian themed party at the Swarovski Crystallized concept store in NYC, Camila donned the color red again. This color looks absolutely stunning against her skin tone. This time her dress came courtesy of Gomez Garcia, the Brazilian beauty paired her red long sleeved dress with Swarovski jewelry and Jimmy Choo slingback pumps.
For the 2011 Academy Awards ceremony Camila channeled her inner modern princess wearing this structured KaufmanFranco Spring 2012 RTW ball gown. She kept her look simple opting to only wear diamond earrings. This look makes me think of something that Audrey Hepburn would wear in modern times.
After the Awards Camila changed into an extremely sexy black lace Zuhair Murad Spring 2011 Couture gown, which she paired with the same up-do hairstyle and a black Kotur clutch. I absolutely love this look because she is working the dress like it is going to pay for her next car, when it probably costs enough to buy a new car.
Camila again donned Zuhair Murad but from the Fall 2011 RTW collection at the 39th AFI Life Achievement Award Honoring Morgan Freeman. The metallic gold color looks amazing against her caramel Brazilian skin color and her matching gold Jimmy Choo clutch and strappy sandals.

Busiest Star of 2011: Emma Stone




Emma Stone really has worked a lot this year with four films and multiple appearances all over awards season to present awards. Emma has long time relationships with designers such as Lanvin and Chanel, wearing custom Lanvin gown and archive Chanel Couture. But Emma is one of those girls that can look absolutely stunning in a paper bag and there have been very few ensembles that she has donned in the past year that I have not fallen in love with, hence why she has received this award.

2011 Marrakesh International Film Festival Jury Wish List: Sigourney Weaver

Film legend Sigourney Weaver will also be headed to Morocco for the 2011 Marrakesh International Film Festival where she will be acting as the head of the Short Film Jury. Sigourney knows how to work a red carpet and has relationships with brands such as Lanvin, Bottega Veneta, and Donna Karan. I hope to see lots from Sigourney on the red carpet during the festival and have a few wishes below for her.
First Up is this black Lanvin Resort 2012 draped suit, I love this for her because it is elegant and simple. To complete this look I would add a pair of red pumps and a statement ring. Look #2 is this pale watercolor pattern L'Wren Scott Spring 2012 dress, this look is elegant and it would look stunning on Sigourney. Pairing this look with a pair of either nude or gold sandals would make this ensemble amazing. I love Sigourney in blue and the final two looks are based in blue. The first is a Naeem Khan Resort 2012 dress that would be paired with silver peep toe pumps and the final is a Zac Posen Spring 2012 RTW dress that I would pair with navy peep toe pumps.
Now for the gowns, continuing with the blue theme I am starting off with a royal blue and black Bottega Veneta Spring 2012 RTW gown, simple pair of matching strappy sandals and a matching clutch. The next is this grey Donna Karan Resort 2012 gown and to complete this look a crystal encrusted silver Judith Leiber clutch and grey sandals would make this look perfect. Here I have another wish from L'Wren Scott Spring 2012 RTW. Now this is a gown that I could see transcending the generation line and could be worn by someone young like Anne Hathaway or Amy Adams or someone older like Sigourney. This look would be paired with matching red clutch and peep toe pumps. And last but not least the final wish is again from Naeem Khan but this time from the Spring 2012 RTW collection. Silver clutch and pumps would complete this elegant ensemble.

2011 Marrakesh International Film Festival Jury Wish List: Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain has taken the film world by storm this year with premiering seven films. While doing this she has also taken the red carpet world by storm, she has worn every major designer. Now for Jessica it is hard to dress and I understand that as she is pale with a pink undertone to her skin and has fire red hair, so sometimes things just dont work. My wished for Jessica to wear during her time as a member to the feature film jury at the 2011 Marrakesh International Film Festival.
So these are for less formal appearances. One thing she should know that red looks amazing on redheads as does white and yellow. Hence why all of these looks are from those colors. The first look is from Emilio Pucci Spring 2012 RTW and I chose this ensemble because I love the lace detail on the top and the way it continues on to the skirt, this dress paired with red peep toe pumps would be perfect. The second look is a stunning simple white Moschino Spring 2012 RTW with a multicolored waistband, which to complete this look I would just add a pair of aqua peep toe pumps. Look #3 is a yellow classy look from Oscar de la Renta, I love to see a redhead wear yellow and Jessica has a few times in the past, to style this look I would pair the dress with a pair of gold strappy sandals. and the final look for the casual ensembles is this stunning Roland Mouret Spring 2012 RTW red dress with a white floral pattern and a black waistband, truthfully I want her to wear the runway shoes because I think that they would have the most impact.
Here are some suggestions for Jessica for the premieres of the films that she is going to be judging. The first is a gold heavily embellished Armani Prive Fall 2010 Couture. I decided to dig into Mr Armani's archive for this wish because I love this collection and this is one gown that I always wondered why it was never worn and well I love Jessica in gold as it just suits her skin tone and hair color perfectly, to accessorize this look an up do and gold peep toe pumps would be perfect for this look. Up next is this goldenrod yellow Elie Saab Spring 2012 RTW gown that would again look spectacular against her coloring and paired with matching clutch and sandals the look would be sophisticated and stunning. Tom Ford created my next wish for his Fall 2011 RTW collection. I love this dress because it is almost couture level, to style this look I would pair it with a red clutch and black peep-toe pumps. And last but not least we have a wish from Zac Posen's Spring 2012 RTW collection. I love this gown in fact is one of my favorite gowns from all of the Spring 2012 RTW collections. I love a redhead in a green dress be it pale or dark and that is why I want to see her in this, silver sandals would be the only thing that she needs to complete this stunning ensemble.

Grammy Award Nominations Concert Wish List

Jennifer Nettles of the country duo Sugarland is set to perform at the Grammy Nominations Concert. As she is just performing I have decided to style a look with items exclusively found at Net-A-Porter.Com. Jennifer is not a girly girl when she performs hence why I have put her in Burberry Britt Waxed Jeans in black, on top I have put a an embellished KaufmanFranco top with a Rick Owens leather jacket. To finish off this stunning ensemble I have chosen a pair of Miu Miu black and pink booties. I would recommend no jewelry with this look and her signature curly hair and she will look amazing during her performance.
 The wonderfully quirky pop sensation Katy Perry is going to be among the performers at the 2011 Grammy Nominations Concert that will air live from Nokia Theater in LA on November 30th, 2011. I am almost certain that Katy will be performing her current single "The One That Got Away" which she performed acoustically wearing a Judy Jetson-esque pink gown at the 2011 American Music Awards. I figure Katy will make the next performance of this song the upbeat radio version that we all have come to know and love. So for this performance I wanted Katy to have a lot of drama but while still being able to move, step in Zuhair Murad Fall 2011 Couture. Zuhair Murad has dress Katy on several occasions such as the 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar Party and (insert other event here). So it is not that big of a stretch wishing that the quirky star wear this gown. To complete this stage style ensemble I would pair the gown with these amazing purple and gold Jimmy Choo Spring 2012 collection sandals. If Katy were to wear a pair of simple pumps then she would not be letting this dress live up to its true potential.
Lady Gaga is also going to take to the stage to perform for the Grammy Nominations Gala. The crazy singer will most likely perform her current single Marry The Night. For this performance I would like for Gaga to don this white embellished mullet dress for the performance. I think that this paired with her crazy hair/makeup/hat statement and then a pair of silver shoes would make this a perfect performance ensemble for the eccentric singer.
 Another celebrity performing at the Grammy Nominations Live Concert is R&B sensation Rihanna. I know that all I have been wishing for RiRi has been Atelier Versace, well that is because I really do believe that she was in mind as most of this collection would look absolutely stunning of the Caribbean beauty from Barbados. If Rihanna is to perform her current hit single "We Found Love" then I believe this "I <3 Versace" pop style cocktail dress would be a great choice in performance wear. The last time a celebrity wore an Atelier Versace dress to perform, (Beyonce at the 2010 Grammy Awards), said celebrity ended up winning best stage costume. Now I will let the cat out of the bag and say that one of Rihanna's performance looks is the winner of that award this year, so far but who knows she may top herself or someone else may top her. Now to style this look completely I have paired it with a pair of blue strappy sandal boots courtesy of Brian Atwood's Spring 2012 collection.
