The Locarno Film Festival is kicking off on August 2, 2017 and I am really excited to see what will happen. This is the first of the fall film festivals, but sometimes the red carpets can be a little lacking. There aren’t too many big stars in the movies that are premiering at this years edition of the Locarno Film Festival so I am hoping that the stars that are featuring in this years selection are all out in full force. 
French actress Berenice Bejo’s film Three Peaks is slated to make its Italian premiere at the Locarno Film Festival and following her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, I got really excited about her style again. When it comes to the dressing for Locarno the dress code is cocktail chic and I think that Berenice will ensure her look is perfect. When I first saw this sunset peach Elie Saab Resort 2017 bead embroidered ankle length cocktail dress which features a scoop neckline and an A-line ankle length skirt Berenice came to mind immediately. For a red carpet like the Locarno Film Festival I think that this would be an absolutely beautiful moment for Berenice. With the matching sandals from the runway, a chic updo, gold clutch, and a light pink lip this would be a beautiful look for Berenice. 
Isabelle Huppert has made a real style emergence this year. After an awards season run and two films at the Cannes Film Festival Isabelle has been having her best year ever. I doubt she will make the journey to Locarno for the festival but I would love to see Isabelle step out to promote her latest film Madame Hyde on the red carpet. During Paris Couture Fashion Week earlier this month Isabelle slipped into her seat front row at the Armani Prive Fall 2017 Couture show as the first model took the runway after showing up late. She made no big deal, but graciously slipped into a seat without any fuss. There are definitely a few looks from the collection that I want to see Isabelle wear and I think that this suited look which consists of a lilac zip up jacket and a lace trimmed slip style skirt with a beautiful hand painted watercolor print would be an absolutely perfect red carpet moment for Isabelle to wear for the Locarno Film Festival.
Now I know I said that that the red carpet at the Locarno Film Festival is usually more cocktail than gown arena, but Noomi Rapace is definitely one who doesn’t stand by dress code. For the festivals premiere of What Happened to Monday? I went with Dior Couture for Noomi. We saw Noomi front row at the Dior Homme show so I think it would bode well for her wearing the brand in the future. I think for for this Locarno premiere I think that Noomi would rock this black and maroon tulle Christian Dior Fall 2017 Couture sheer gown on the red carpet like no one else. I have been over the whole sheer trend, but I think that Noomi could really make this dress come to life on the red carpet. At the Dior Homme show Noomi had soft pink hair that I think would compliment this gown on the red carpet. With a pair of simple black sandals, diamond cluster earrings, and a kohl rimmed eye this look would be perfect.
It has been a while since we have seen Vanessa Paradis on a red carpet. I was kind of surprised that she didn’t make the jaunt to Cannes for this years festivals big 70th anniversary soiree after being on the jury last year. The French actress could be on a red carpet soon at the 2017 Locarno Film Festival to promote her latest film, Chien. It is pretty much a given that if Vanessa steps out on the red carpet at the Locarno Film Festival that we will see her wearing Chanel. Almost all of Vanessa’s red carpet looks are Chanel, and we tend to see her front row at most of the brands runway shows. I think that this light dusty blue Chanel Cruise 2018 draped jersey dress is something totally up Vanessa’s ally and I think that for an event like the Locarno Film Festival I think that this is a perfect option for her to rock on the red carpet. 
Last but not least is the beautiful Zoe Kravitz whose film Gemini is being screened at the 2017 Locarno Film Festival. The film debuted in the United States back in early March, and is now going to screen at the festival in Locarno. Now there are definitely a whole host of designers that we could see Zoe wearing on the red carpet for Locarno, but I want to see her show up in this deep purple Alexis Mabille Fall 2017 Couture strapless silk and velvet trapeze mini dress. Zoe has worn Alexis on past red carpets, even giving the designer his first Academy Awards moment, and I think that for this red carpet that this creation would be an absolutely perfect look. I can picture Zoe with her bohemian glamour attitude really making this dress come to life on the red carpet. Finishing the look with a smokey eye, nude lip, and a pair of strappy black sandals would make it perfect for her to wear at the Locarno Film Festival.
When we were first introduced to Princess Charlene she wore a lot of Armani Prive, and the looks ranged from perfectly tailored suits to custom evening gowns. I decided that I want Princess Charlene to return to Armani Prive because some of her best looks have come courtesy of the brand. I think that Charlene would look ever so chic and modern wearing this purplish grey Armani Prive Fall 2017 Couture pastel water color printed suit which features a zip up deep scoop neck jacket and knee length pencil skirt. The jacket might have to be modified to make the neckline a little more modest, but I think that she will look absolutely beautiful wearing this suit as is. A pair of grey pointed toe pumps, maybe a diamond necklace, and rose red lip would make this a picture perfect look for Princess Charlene. 
Up first is the amazing Ashi Studio Fall 2017 Couture collection. I am loving that slowly the Ashi Studio label is gaining a star following and I think that Solange would fit right in with the ranks of current celebrity fans of the brand. We have seen Ashi Studio on the backs of Janelle Monae, 
Solange has never worn Georges Chakra on a red carpet. His normal aesthetic doesn’t usually scream Solange and her style but there was definitely a few looks from his Fall 2017 Couture collection that I thought would call Solange. This emerald embroidered organza ensemble which features a feather embellished cape blouse and wide leg pants came down the runway during Paris Couture Fashion Week earlier this month and I immediately thought of Solange. This is a complicated look and I don’t think many have the presence to make this look come to life on a red carpet, but on Solange this look would just ooze effortless glamour. 
With the expansion of the brands that she has worn to include bigger international brands over the last few months I really want to see Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge continue to embrace big international brands. For a recent state dinner in honor of the visit of the Spanish royals we saw blurry pictures of Catherine wearing an absolutely beautiful blush pink Marchesa lace ball gown and it came with a daring neckline and the shock that she wasn’t wearing Jenny Packham or Alexander McQueen for a major state event. I am really upset at the fact that there was no standing photo of Catherine in her Marchesa gown, because it was such a different look and one that worked really well for her. Since we don’t often seen the Duchess in formal wear I only picked one gown for this list and it is this red Oscar de la Renta Resort 2018 silk 
I can honestly say that I am really shocked that Catherine has never, publicly, wore a dress or coat by her friend Victoria Beckham, who is a major internationally loved fashion brand. Posh Spice was one of the guests at Will and Catherine’s wedding and as a huge British based fashion brand it just really does surprise me that Catherine has never worn one of her designs. Victoria Beckham has this very signature regal, column silhouette pencil dresses that can be pared with blazers or worn solo with long sleeves and fit in perfectly with the royal dress code. I would love to see Catherine finally give the Victoria Beckham label a go adding this dusty rose dress which features flared 3/4 length sleeves and a knotted detail on the neckline from the brands Resort 2018 collection. I think that Catherine would definitely rock this dress with a pair of nude pumps and a great fascinator for an event like Trooping the Color or a Royal Garden party. This is a very prim and proper look and I think that Catherine would look so chic and give a little variance to looks that tend to always look exactly the same.
Krysten Ritter is Jessica Jones and I absolutely adore seeing her on the red carpet, so I am really excited to see what she will rock the red carpet at this premiere wearing. I usually spend the final day of the month writing my best dressed list, but because there is the promise of Krysten on the red carpet at this premiere I will be holding out. If Krysten stepped onto this red carpet wearing this smokey grey Georges Chakra Fall 2017 Couture full skirted tea length gown which features an asymmetrical corded bodice I think that she would end up with a spot on my Best Dressed of July list. Krysten has this look that just exudes glamour and a personality that is fun and quirky that makes picking looks for her so much fum because she likes so many different things. I love how Georges Chakra mixed modernity and 50’s glamour in this dress and I totally think that Krysten would be a perfect choice to make this look come to life on the red carpet. I think that with a chic high bun updo, smokey eye, matte red lip, and a pair of 
Elodie Yung is relatively new to the fashion scene, but I know that she could deliver something incredibly statement making on the red carpet at the LA premiere of The Defenders. I am really intrigued to see which designers will start to embrace Elodie and dress her for red carpet events. Earlier this year for the LA premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Elodie wore a white David Koma dress and it was then pretty easy for me to pick a look for her to wear for this red carpet. I loved the David Koma Resort 2018 collection and I think that Elodie would more than do this ensemble which features a black open shoulder top and asymmetrical feather embellished skirt justice. The look is modern with a nod to the 80’s and I think that for a fun superhero premiere that it would be a great look on the red carpet. I want to see Elodie find a pair of matching lime green simple sandals adding a simple black clutch, smokey eye, nude lip, and tight bun to really finish this look perfectly.
Up first is a gorgeous look from Blumarine Resort 2018. Day or night, casual to cocktail. Celine wears it all and I think she could definitely rock this navy blue ensemble which features a sequined top and midi skirt with an asymmetrical ruffled hem. This look is definitely very flashy, and a totally 80’s throwback and is not exactly the first thought I have for a street style look, but Celine gives us over the top glamour on the sidewalk and I think that this would be a perfect addition to that repertoire. Further elevating this look I would add a 
Rounding out this list is a label I love and continue to want to see build its celebrity fan base. The moment i saw this Sachin + Babi ensemble in their Resort 2018 lookbook I knew it was going to be destined for a major street style moment. I think that the metallic stripe robe-style coat and the skin tight navy bodysuit screams wear me from one of the many street style mavens like Gigi and Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, or Hailey Baldwin and with her emergence I have added Celine into that list. It seems like an odd addition when everyone else I have put on a list to wear this look at 20 something models, but Celine has proven with her recent looks that she is here to hang and hang she has. Since the coat is such a statement I would go simpler with the accessories adding a 
Ashi Studio is a label that is starting to really gain some traction with high profile celebrity friends like Sonam Kapoor, Demi Lovato, Janelle Monae, Zendaya, and Fan Bingbing. The brand is known for intricate and embroideries and volume. This white pleated gown from the Ashi Studio Fall 2017 Couture collection which features a dramatic sweetheart neckline and pleated bell sleeves focuses on the brands love of volume I think would be a majorly regal moment for Queen Maxima to wear for a more formal occasion. Now I realize that for a royal that the neckline of the gown would have to be made much more modest, but I think that the gown would still hold it’s integrity with a more demure neckline. Maxima knows how to do volume and drama extremely well and I think that she would do this look up with amazing crown jewels to really make it the magical and regal moment that I know it has the possibility to be. 
Halle Berry has never been one of my favorite ladies to see on a red carpet. Her style has been stuck in the past and has never evolved as she has aged and matured. It usually comes across as trying too hard and recently has comes across as desperation. I hope that the sheer bodysuits and the micro-minis are nowhere to be seen over the course of this tour. If there is an LA premiere I would love to see Halle jump on the Dior-ient Express and rock this red pleated Christian Dior Resort 2018 gown which features crystal embellished straps. I think that this gown is a totally perfect way best dressed moment on the red carpet. The style of this gown is nothing new, but I think that it would be the perfect baby step for Halle to wear on this red carpet. Going chic with a romantic updo, smokey eye, nude lip, and a pair of strappy 
Model turned actress Charlotte McKinney is one of the rising stars who are building their shine with this film and I am expecting that she will deliver something very dazzling and flashy on the red carpet for this premiere. Her first big film was the remake of Baywatch and she went with a much more simple and classic black gown than I would have expected her to wear. For this premiere I went with something sexy and flashy via this white and silver Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2017 RTW deep v-neck jumpsuit which 
I honestly have high expectations for Nina Dobrev for this premiere. The former Vampire Diaries starlet is one of my favorite ladies to see on the red carpet and I am praying that she doesn’t let me down with this premiere. Of all of the members of this cast if anyone is going to bring the couture factor to the red carpet it will be Nina and I would love to see her rock this red and black rose embroidered brocade origami draped Ronald van der Kemp Fall 2017 Couture mini dress. Nina’s stylist isn’t usually one to jump into couture, but I think that dress totally fits Nina’s sense of style and that it would look ever so chic on the red carpet. I would add a pair of
