2013 Academy Awards: Presenter Wish List Part 1

Last week I posted a wish list wanting Anne Hathaway to wear a stunning green Zac Posen ballgown. Well this was before anything Oscar red carpet worthy had come down the runways in New York during fashion week. Well two days after this wish list posted this stunning red Marchesa Fall 2013 RTW gown with gold embroidery walked the runway and I knew that I had to amend my wish for Anne saying I would love to see this gown on her. I am begging for extreme drama from Anne at the Academy Awards as she is the one that is going to take home the Best Supporting Actress statue that night. Just a simple fringe hairstyle and gold satin pumps would be perfect accessories for this amazing ensemble.

I have never featured this stunning black and white Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture ball gown on the blog, the reason is I have never had someone that could pull it off. A year ago when Charlize Theron had tumbling rolling locks but now that she has a short shaved edgy hair I think she mow has the look to pull off this gown. This gown is one of the stunning ball gowns that were presented last January that sadly almost all have not been worn and this makes me very sad. This gown paired with some stunning Chopard diamond and sapphire earrings and simple black peep toe pumps would be all that is needed to complete this stunning ensemble.

When I saw the Reem Acra Fall 2013 RTW collection I fell in love with this stunning white and black gown. I NEED to see this gown at the Oscars or at an Oscar party. While Emma Stone has not been announced as a presenter for the 2013 Academy Awards she was on hand last month to help this years host Seth McFarlane announce all the nominations, so I believe it is a safe bet that she will be at the prestigious awards ceremony. Emma + this stunning gown would make my jaw drop and shoot her on to best dressed lists internationally. An old Hollywood hairstyle, black peep toe Christian Louboutin pumps, and a bold pink lip would only add to the magic of this winning combination.

Halle Berry is another announced presenter, probably to repay for having to pull out of last years ceremony due to breaking her foot. Well I think that the star that usually takes her red carpet dress too far would look stunning in this blue Naeem Khan Fall 2013 RTW art deco gown. Halle tends to do really sexy on the red carpet and I just don't see how Halle's through and through style can mix with the Academy Awards but I think that this Naeem Khan gown is the perfect mix. Finish with a pair of black Jimmy Choo sandals and simple art deco diamond jewelry and I think Halle has a winning look on her hands.

Kelly Rowland will not be presenting during the actual telecast of the 2013 Academy Awards but she will be on hand as a host of the official red carpet pre-show. Kelly was one of the best dressed at the 2013 Grammy Awards wearing an edgy illusion cutout Georges Chakra couture gown but for this event I am choosing to put her in something a little more glam less edge. I think that this Basil Soda Spring 2013 Couture would be the perfect gown to let Kelly look absolutely stunning but reserved while conducting her red carpet interviews.

One that I am really looking forward to seeing on the red carpet is Reese Witherspoon. She has a classic elegant style that usually wow's when she attends these major red carpet events. I think that this deep purple Zac Posen Fall 2013 RTW draped gown would be the most amazing option for her for this event. The rich color would look amazing on her light tanned skin with a her classic blonde hair. The old Hollywood glamour should continue with a wavy fuax bob. Simple jewels, a jewel encrusted black Leiber clutch, and black sandals would also assist in keeping this a classic old Hollywood glam red carpet look.

2013 Independent Spirit Awards Wish List Part 2

At last years Independent Spirit Awards Jessica Chastain wore the equivalent of an Armani Prive stewardess suit. I was extremely disappointed in her decision so I am hoping to see her redeem herself on this red carpet. To help her do so I have picked this elegant Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture black tulle cocktail dress with orange, yellow, lime, and cobalt embellishments. This dress would obviously have to be lined for the red carpet. A simple pair of gold sandals would be an amazing accent to this statement making dress.

During New York Fashion Week Marchesa launched their Fall 2013 RTW collection and there are a lot of beautiful gowns (you will get your first taste tomorrow) but there were no simple looks for a more casual event. I am highly disappointed that I have not seen more of the Marchesa Spring 2013 RTW collection on the red carpet and I think that Naomi Watts would look stunning in this burnt orange dress. I LOVE this dress and I think that Naomi is one of the few that could make this dress work and I really don't want to see it end up in the Marchesa archive forever. A gold box clutch and gold sandals would be the perfect accessories for this stunning creation.

Every year Olivia Wilde attends the Independent Spirit Awards wearing a floral print maxi dress and even though I have come to expect it, she always looks stunning. For this years awards I would love to see her wear this creation from the Ralph Lauren Spring 2013 RTW collection. I think that this would look amazing on Olivia the coloring and cut are great for her body. Finisht his look with a metallic gold clutch, black sandals, and some layered gold necklaces and I think that Olivia would have another casual elegant gown look.

Zoe Saldana was on hand in December to announce the nominations for the 2013 Independent Spirit Awards, and the ladies who announce the nominees always attend the event. There has been something off about Zoe's red carpet style lately as she hasn't wowed me in a very long time. I am hoping that Saturday night she will break the trend and wow me wearing this canary yellow Giambattista Valli Spring 2013 Couture dress. There are not many ladies out there that have the confidence needed to successfully pull off this dress. I am obsessed with seeing Zoe wear many looks from this collection as her name was written all over several of the looks (hence this is the third different look from this collection that I want to see her wear). Some gold strappy sandals and a gold metallic clutch are the perfect accessories for this amazing dress.

2013 Independent Spirit Awards Wish List Part 1

Anna Kendrick is an Independent Spirit Awards red carpet regular attending every year to support the type of film that have made her famous. For this years event, which takes place on Saturday night right before the Oscars on Sunday, I would love to see Anna wear this black satin Alberta Ferretti Pre-Fall 2013 cocktail dress embellished with beads, sequins, and feathers. This is a very 60's mod style dress and I think that Anna would look stunning in this design. I have not had a red carpet home run from Anna in a very long time and I know that she has the potential. One department that she usually lets me down in on the red carpet anymore is the shoe department. She used to have great shoe game wearing statement shoes but has recently been wearing a lot of red carpet standard Giuseppe Zanotti, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Brian Atwood pumps and this disapoints me from the girl who was daring enough to pair a blue and black leopard print Marchesa dress with bold yellow Jimmy Choo sandals just a few short years ago. I would pair this dress with the Gianvito Rossi Spring 2012 collection white and black tuxedo peep toe sandal, no clutch, 60's style hair, and simple jewelry to complete the red carpet look.

The nominees for the Academy Awards usually attend the Independent Spirit Awards the night before their big night to support and cheer on the independent films because this is where a lot of them started their careers and they want to support those that are following in their footsteps. These are a much less formal event lots of cocktail dresses, formal pants and jumpsuits, and flowing maxi dresses. I have decided to put Helen Hunt in this stunning rust colored Roland Mouret Pre-Fall 2013 dress with a lace top and silk skirt. I think that this is an elegant age and event appropriate option for the star that has not had the best awards season run. She has to keep the black waist bad as it keeps this look from looking to dumpy; add a black clutch and some simple black sandals and Helen has a simple winning look which she hasn't had many of this awards season.

Jennifer Lawrence was on a roll of actually making me like some of her red carpet looks around the time of the SAG's but then attended the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon in a Chloe dress that looked like a bath towel wrapped around her with just the up-most horrible styling that I almost wanted to claw my eyes out. Now I have heard that Jennifer has been being styled by Rachel Zoe who's work on Anne Hathaway lately hasn't been thrilling me either, so maybe there is hope but I'm not sure. As a current face of Dior I think that the option of this amazing strapless floral bustier and black tapered pants from the Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture collection. I think that this would be a look that Jennifer is more comfortable with on the red carpet, as she has stated that she isn't a huge fan of dolling herself up for the red carpet. Finish this ensemble with a pair of black satin Casadei 'Blade' pumps, a black clutch would be the perfect pairings for this look.

2013 Vanity Fair Oscar After-Party Wish List Part 2

I am keeping Jessica Chastain in the black Elie Saab couture gown that I want her to wear for the ceremony but like Anne Hathaway I am choosing to put her in a much more free flowing party gown for the Vanity Fair Oscar After-Party. As soon as I saw the Gucci Pre-Fall 2013 collection and this amazing black and red plaid chiffon gown I have been DYING to see Jessica Chastain wear it. I think that she is the only person on the face of this planet that could pull of this gown on a red carpet. When choosing a gown for her I always make sure that one needed accessory is not a clutch as she seems to have a phobia of them. Finish this look with black and gold Jimmy Choo sandals and simple jewels will allow Jessica to shine in this statement making dress.

There were not many looks in the Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 RTW collection that I really liked or loved but this amazing black and white striped gown would look amazing on the always stunning Kate Beckinsale. Last year Kate won the Best Promo tour for 'Total Recall' and narrowly missed out on the Red Carpet Diva of the Year award and I am hoping to see her bring her divaness to the Vanity Fair Oscar After-Party next Sunday night. I would finish this look with a black Jimmy Choo tube clutch, her got to (even thought I really wouldn't recommend them) Salvatore Ferragamo pumps, and some bold emerald jewels to complete this amazing look.

Kerry Washington is my second diva that I am choosing to put in black and white for the 2013 Vanity Fair Oscar After-Party. I think that this simple black and white goddess draped Marchesa Pre-Fall 2013 gown would be an amazing option. Kerry either goes very fashion forward or very classic and I think for Hollywood's biggest night that she should go for classic. To add a little flair to this classic gown I would pair this look with a Marchesa Spring 2013 clutch based on a deep red fringe gown, silver Christian Louboutin 'Lady Max' sandals, a pair of diamond cluster earrings, and a diamond cocktail ring.

Zoe Saldana finishes out the trifecta of black and white looks for the 2013 Vanity Fair Oscar After-Party. Zoe is another lady that for the ceremony I have wished that she will wear a very large gown and I think that it is highly likely that she will change as she has in the past. Zoe usually sticks to the same designer that she has worn to the ceremony. Since I have picked a stunning pink ladypant ballgown, red carpet lady pants are my favorite new trend for fall, I have given her this much more graphic black and white chiffon gown with silk pants for the after parties. I would add a black waistband to this just to define Zoe's waist. Finish this look with a black Marchesa clutch, black Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps and simple stunning diamonds and Zoe has another winning Oscar night look!

2013 Vanity Fair Oscar After-Party Wish List Part 1

After seeing all the New York Fashion Week Fall 2013 RTW collections I have changed my wish for Anne Hathaway to wear to the Oscars ceremony and you will see the new dramatic gown in a few days on the 20th. Well the reason she is on the wish list for the 2013 Vanity Fair Oscar Party is that after wearing a big gown (yes the new gown is just as grand and dramatic as the last) I am sure that Anne would love to wear something much less grand to party the night away celebrating her inevitable win for her role as Fantine in 'Les Miserables.' I think that this gilver (a gold and silver mixture) Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2013 beaded fringe gown would be a great pick for the star for the after parties. Jimmy Choo sandals, the matching Oscar de la Renta runway clutch, and simple diamond jewelry would look amazing for the simpler look for the night.

This is a favorite look from the Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture collection. I am really loving this trend of formal pants for women on the red carpet lately and I think that this couture bustier paired with tapered black pants would be perfect for Cameron Diaz to wear for the Vanity Fair Oscar After Party. I think that this look on Cameron would be able to hold its own and stand out in a see of evening gowns and cocktail dresses. Finish this look with an orange and gold Anya Hindmarch clutch, black peep toe pumps, and simple jewelery to let the statement making look do all the talking and I think I may have my first favorite Cameron Diaz look in a long time.

I have been dying to see this amazing blue star print Jason Wu Spring 2013 RTW gown on Diane Kruger since it first walked the runway in September of 2012. With the new Fall 2013 collection released just last week in New York I am afraid that this gown is going to die and land forever in the Jason Wu archive closet. So I say to Diane that this is really the last chance that I have to see this gown and since she hasn't worn it yet please make all my Spring 2013 dreams come true and wear my favorite gown of the season! A pair of black sandals, a black clutch, and simple jewels will be all that are needed to accessorize this look.

Every year at the Vanity Fair Oscar After-Party Elizabeth Banks puts on her unofficial brand ambassador hat for Versace and wears a stunning dress be it couture, vintage, or ready to wear. This year I would love to see Elizabeth wear this amazing black beaded halter neck Atelier Versace Spring 2013 Couture gown. Now before anyone asks, yes, I do want her to remove those hideous fur epaulettes. They are hideous. Sleek hair, simple diamond jewelry, a black clutch, and black strappy sandals would make me jump up and down for joy.

Emma Stone always wears Chanel to the Vanity Fair Oscar After-Party and I do not think that she should change that as it has been a winning partnership to this point. For this years event I would love to see this amazing white and floral gown from the Chanel Spring 2013 Couture collection. As soon as I saw this amazing gown walk the runway in January I immediately saw Emma Stone wearing it at this event. I am hoping to see this wish come true. Finish the look with a pair of gold sandals and some simple jewelry and I will be falling over with her on this red carpet.

Ginnifer Goodwin usually opts for a cocktail dress when choosing her ensemble for the Vanity Fair Oscar After-Party and I am not going to stray from that. I have chosen to place Ginnifer in this amazing sherbert orange Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2013 gown. I think that this would look adorable on the star who has been a pleasure to see on the red carpet and rarely has a misstep. Finish this look with a gold Oscar de la Renta clutch, strappy gold Jimmy Choo sandals, and vintage Van Cleef & Arpels jewelery with stones to match and compliment the orange dress.

2013 Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party Wish List Part 2

Nina Dobrev is one of my favorites to see on the red carpet. Since her now famous red carpet moment in red Donna Karan at the 2011 Emmy Awards which landed her on Best Dressed of the Year Lists (including my own) she has been a forced to be reckoned with on the red carpet. I love seeing her in bold jewel tone colors as she has the perfect complexion to pull off these rich colors and I think that this emerald green Monique Lhuillier Fall 2013 RTW long sleeved embellished gown would be perfect for the 'The Vampire Diaries' star to wear for the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Gala. This gown would look amazing with some old Hollywood hair, a pair of gunmetal grey sandals, and some amazing emerald and diamond earrings and ring from event sponsor Chopard to complete this amazing look.

Paz Vega is a regular at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Gala and she usually attends in a neutral gown. This year I would like for her to stick to the designer that won her the top spot on my best dressed of the year list, Stephane Rolland, who she also wore for last years EJAF Oscar Gala. This year I would love to see her wear this structured draped Stephane Rolland Spring 2013 couture white gown with green embellishments on the hips. I know many of you may not like this dress and I can already hear what Joan Rivers at E!'s Fashion Police would say about this dress but I think that this would be an amazing choice for Paz Vega. Finish this look off with gold sandals and some emerald Chopard jewels and I think you would be pleasantly surprised by how well this translated from runway to reality.

Rashida Jones is the final co-chair of this event and she is one that I usually find fault with on the red carpet. The actress likes to cover up on the top  and usually does so wearing a basic black tuxedo jacket over the fabulous dresses that she wears. I think that this deep brown Elie Saab Spring 2013 RTW gown would be perfect for her and now that she is being styled by Brad Goreski I am actually hoping that she does get to wear this. Hair in soft curls and the runway pumps are all that are needed to make this amazing red carpet look. And Rashida keep that tux jacket far away from this stunning gown.

Rose McGowan is another HUGE AIDS activist who attends several gala events to raise money and awareness with amFAR and EJAF. Well for this years EJAF Oscar Gala I would love to see Rose wear this amazing red Reem Acra Spring 2013 RTW gown. Rose looks stunning in red and with her new blonde hair I think she would look like a blonde bombshell in this dress. Finish this look with red strappy sandals and some simple jewels and Rose is ready for a major red carpet moment.

Zhang Ziyi has been back on the international red carpet scene lately promoting her latest film 'The Grandmaster.' I hope that she star that has been an repeat visitor to the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Gala and I would love to see her walk the red carpet again this year. I think that this amazing embellished Valentino Pre-Fall 2013 black tiered gown. This is something that would look extremely grandma on some but I think would look amazingly elegant on Zhang. Add a black Swarovski clutch, black strappy jeweled sandals, and bold emerald Chopard jewelry to finish off this classic look.

2013 Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Party Wish List Part 1

Dita Von Teese is an Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Viewing Gala regular wearing a variety of styles from cocktail to evening and structured to ethereal. For this years event if she is to attend I would love to the the burlesque bombshell wear this cornflower blue and black Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture gown with an asymmetrical neck and side peplum. I think that even with Dita's small frame that this dress would be perfect for her and she is among the few that could pull it off. Finish this look with silver Christian Louboutin crystal pumps and some stunning Chopard jewelry and Dita has the power to make it onto the best dressed at the Oscar parties list.

Hayden Panettiere is another frequent guest of the EJAF Oscar Viewing Gala and for this years event if she so chooses to attend again I would like to see her wear some color. For many of her recent red carpet appearances she has worn cream, nude, or blush colored looks and I am ready to see her bust out the color on the red carpet again. I would have her do so via this amazing blood orange Zuhair Murad Spring 2013 RTW draped gown. I think that this elegant creation would be amazingly chic and a bold choice for the 'Nashville' star. Finish the look with gold peep toe pumps and a gold crystal embellished clutch.

Heidi Klum always attends the EJAF gala and is a huge AIDS research activist working to promote research not only through the Elton John Foundation but amFAR as well. This year Heidi is a co-chair of the event which means that we are bound to see the star attend the event. I think that this black Atelier Versace Spring 2013 Couture gown with cutouts and neon yellow and red accents would be an amazing choice for the supermodel. Over the last year Heidi has has quite a few questionable choices and only as of recent has she have a few red carpet successes. Finish this look with a pair of strappy Jimmy Choo sandals and slicked back hair and Heidi has the tools to help her to keep redeeming herself on the red carpet.

Katy Perry is another member of the board of co-chairs for this event. I have been missing quirky Katy on the red carpet since she has gone back to her black hair. I think that this pink Alexis Mabille Spring 2013 Couture would bring her back to out graces. This dress is elegant and romantic with its soft chiffon layers, sexy with the bustier bodice and the quirk comes via the bow details on the shoulders. Obviously Katy would have to opt for a tight high bun hair style, simple makeup, minimal jewels, and some pink Christian Louboutin sandals to make this look work for her

Miley Cyrus is another co-chair of this event hence why I am actually doing a wish list for her. I think that this black Roberto Cavalli Pre-Fall 2013 sheer and embellished gown would be perfect. She has wanted to do edgy and now with her new hair style she is actually able to do it and pull it off of course for me she will always be Hannah Montana as she has still to grow out of looking like her. Simple black accessories including Christian Louboutin Bisou un Bout pumps and a black clutch and extremely simple jewelry and she may convince me to give her a spot on the best dressed list.
