2012 Cesar Awards Wish List

I don't know if Berenice Bejo is going to risk missing a flight to LA for the Oscars as the 2012 Cesar Awards are held in Paris on Saturday the night before the Oscars. If she does as she is nominated for Best Actress for her role in the critically acclaimed film, 'The Artist.' Berenice has already said that she will wear Elie Saab for the Oscars but will she continue the trend set forth at last years Cesar Awards and wear an Elie Saab gown as so many did? I would like to think so, for this event I have chosen this stone colored embellished Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture gown. I think that this would look stunning on her as she wore a gown of a similar color for the 2012 SAG Awards and looked stunning. A stone colored clutch and some champagne colored peep toe pumps are all needed to let the Argentinian actress shine.

Kate Winslet has had a great run recently wearing Jenny Packham, even wearing a gown from their Fall 2012 RTW collection at the Golden Globe Awards, before the collection was showed at New York Fashion Week. Kate is set to receive the Honorary Cesar on Saturday so I am sure that she will be there. I would love to see Kate depart from her tight form fitting gowns and wear this stunning slate blue draped goddess gowns. This would be a huge departure for Kate as she tends to wear extremely fitted figure hugging gowns. This paired with a silver crystal encrusted clutch, silver strappy sandals, and some great Tiffany & Co. diamond jewelry.

Now I am not sure what event Kirsten Dunst will attend as her film 'Melencolia' is nominated at both the Independent Spirit Awards and the Cesar Awards. Each event is different in its own right has a different dress code. The Independent Spirit Awards are more cocktail causal and the Cesar is more formal gown. For this event I have chosen to dive into the Chanel Couture archives to find this stunning blue black and gold Fall 2009 Couture gown with a peplum and a tulle train. I think that this gown would look absolutely stunning against Kirsten's skin tone. To finish off this gown all I would do is pair this gown with is a pair of black sandals, no clutch, and some great gold and diamond earrings.

2012 Independent Spirit Awards Wish List

Anna Kendrick's film '50/50' is nominated for best picture at the 2012 Independent Spirit Awards and I am almost positive that the young actress will walk the red carpet this Saturday. I would love for her to wear this origami structural Georges Hobeika Spring 2012 RTW dress. I think that this is totally something that Anna would wear on the red carpet. I would pair this with a hot pink clutch and some killer silver strappy sandals.

Carey Mulligan will most likely attend this years Indy Spirit awards to support her movie with Ryan Gosling, 'Drive.' I would love if the stunning British beauty would step out in this bubblegum pink Lanvin Resort 2012 cocktail dress with a bell shaped skirt. I think that this would look stunning on Carey. Throw a matching clutch and some gold strappy sandals and she could totally have a best dressed look right here.

Kate Beckinsale was among the presenters at the nomination ceremony and traditionally the people who prensetnt the nominations also attend the main event to heres hoping. Kate has been having a love a love affair with Donna Karan designs as of late and I can not say anything about her wearing the same designer on multiple occasions as she always looks stunning in them. For Saturday's awards show I would love for Kate to get her hands on this stunning white Donna Karan Pre-Fall 2012 dress with a waist enhancing black belt with a bow. I think that this would look great on Kate's banging body. All that is needed to accessorize this look would be a great pair of black peep toe pumps.

I would be really excited to see Kirsten Dunst on Saturday as her film 'Melancholia' is nominated for Best Foreign Film and she is always someone to watch on the red carpet. Kirsten loves herself some Rodarte and I think that she would look absolutely beautiful in this maroon strapless dress with an off white chiffon skirt from the Rodarte Fall 2012 RTW show. I think that she would look stunning in this I would add a matching maroon waistband as Kirsten has a great body and she should show it off. A matching maroon clutch and some black peep toe pumps would be absolutely perfect and she would look like a wave of perfection.

Michelle Williams is nominated for Best Female Lead for her portrayal of the iconic Marylin Monroe in the film 'My Week With Marylin.' Michelle may not be my favorite on the red carpet but she has slowly been getting better each step out this year because last week she stepped out in a giant pink Christian Dior couture gown that is totally not something that she would have worn before and she wore it with silver satin peep toe pumps. So for this Saturday I would love to see Michelle wear this Chanel Spring 2012 Couture blue embellished cocktail dress. I think that she would look absolutely stunning in this dress as she has this very sophisticated style. A pair of blue (not navy) peep toe pumps are exactly what is needed to make this look stunning.

2012 Academy Awards Best Supporting Actress Wish List

One thing about the three actresses listed here that are nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture are that I know that they are going to be wearing the designers that I am wishing for them too. First up we have Berenice Bejo who has had a long time relationship with Elie Saab and I am hoping to see her embrace this princess-ey coral pink Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture gown. For most of awards season Berenice has been in subdued colors and for the Argentinian beauty this may be the only time she is nominated for an Oscar so she should make a huge impact by wearing this stunning gown. I would pair this with a gold Swarovski clutch and some gold Jimmy Choo sandals paired with some amazing Chopard diamonds.

Jessica Chastain was front row at the Armani Prive Spring 2012 Couture show in Paris last month. She attended the presentation and she was recievd with a bouquet of flowers and a round of applause. The stunning red headed actress would look absolutely stunning in this lime green ball gown. I sometimes find it hard to pick the right gown for Jessica as she does not like to carry a clutch and I try to find gowns that would not need to be accessorized with one. This is one of those gowns, I would only accessorize this dress with some great diamond and emerald jewelry and a pair of gold strappy sandals would be what she needs to let her light shine on the red carpet.

Octavia Spencer has made it known that she will be wearing Tadashi Shoji for the 2012 Academy Awards as they have constantly dressed her all season. I feel that all of her looks recently have all been melding into the same style so I am hoping to see something a little different. Well to do this I have chosen this black and blue dress from Tadashi Shoji's Fall 2012 RTW collection. This is a new look for Octavia as it is the first time we would see her wear a full skirt. I think that this would look absolutely stunning on her and she would look beautiful in it. A blue clutch and some black peep toe pumps would be great for this look, the ultimate accessory for this look is of course going to be the little gold man that I am predicting that she is going to be taking home.

2012 Oscar Presenter Wish List: Angie, Cameron, Halle, Jenny, Kristen, and Rose

And the ball starts rolling today. The biggest night in fashion the 2012 Academy Awards is set to take place in just two short weeks, and the Academy has been busy releasing the names of celebrities set to present at this years ceremony. Angelina Jolie was no doubt going to attend as her long time boyfriend Brad Pitt is nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role. The stunning starlet who tends to favor black should turn to the Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture runway for her gown for this years awards ceremony. Ever since I saw this nude embellished gown with a neck scarf and a thigh high split I have been waiting with bated breath for the stunning Mrs Jolie to don it for an event, and what platform would be better than the red carpet at the Oscars. I love when Elie dresses an Academy Awards attendee as I am always left speechless and with another Best Dressed nominee. I would pair this dress with a metallic gold Jimmy Choo tube clutch and some strappy Jimmy Choo gold metallic sandals.

Now I will say I was hoping that Cameron Diaz was not going to be one of the presenters at this years Oscars ceremony just because I know that she wants to wear this dress because when she was front row at the Armani Spring 2012 Couture presentation in Paris just last month it has been noted that she turned to Giorgio Armani's niece and brand ambassador and said 'That is absolutely stunning' so I guess there is almost no doubts in my mind that she will wear this even though I would love for Best Actress in a Supporting Role nominee Jessica Chastain to wear this instead. Anyway, Cameron should pair this also with a metallic gold clutch and some gold strappy sandals.

Next we have Halle Berry who also presented last year at the Academy Awards. I am keeping the same strapless mermaid silhouette but changing the rest by giving her this stunning black and silver abstract print Lela Rose Fall 2012 RTW gown that just walked the runway in New York City just a few days ago. The designer has never had an Oscars red carpet moment and I think that Halle is just the right woman to bring that moment to us as she would look absolutely stunning in this design. Just a pair of black peep toe pumps and them some seriously stunning diamond creations would be perfect for this look.

Jennifer Lopez is also set to present at the Oscars this year. The last time she did she had an amazing promotional tour resulting in a space on my best dressed list for that year. I would love for her to do that again and I would say if she wore this ice blue Zuhair Murad Spring 2012 Couture mermaid gown then she would look absolutely stunning and full of diva-tude. A crystal encrusted Judith Leiber clutch and some crystal encrusted sandals would make this look sizzle and then some amazing diamond earrings and a statement diamond cuff would finish off this look with a diva song.

Kristen Wiig has had a horrible run this awards season on the red carpet. I believe that after last years Emmy Awards where the stunning comedienne stepped out in a chocolate brown and caramel ombre Zac Posen gown and has not been able to live up to that moment since. I would like her to try for elegance again by wearing this Z Spoke by Zac Posen Fall 2012 RTW gown. I think that it is within the simplicity that is needed for her to look stunning and I wouldn't complicate it with accessories either just a pair of gold diamond encrusted earrings, gold clutch, and gold peep toe pumps, are what is needed to make this look elegant and keep her off the worst dressed lists.

And last but not least we have Kristen Wiig's 'Bridesmaids' co-star, Rose Byrne, who is going to be alongside her as they present at this years ceremony. Rose has become quite the fashionista and made a huge splash. I would love for her to step out wearing this stunning embellished lace petal Valentino Spring 2011 Couture peach colored gown with off the shoulder sleeves. I think that Rose would look absolutely stunning in this gown and I hope that she wears it as I would really love to see this grace a red carpet at some point and what point better than the Oscars. I think a pair of champagne pink colored peep toe pumps and some great diamond jewelry would just take this look to the next level.
