Wow can’t believe that we are at the final post of 2017! This year I have shared almost 500 posts with you guys and you guys have made this the best year yet! So thank you again! To finish the year I am taking a break from my Golden Globe Awards wishes to kick off my wishes for the Critics Choice Awards red carpet which will take place on Thursday January 11, 2018. The critics has been all over the map. The last time they had an awards show was back in December of 2016 and I was expecting for one earlier this month. I was refreshing the Critics Choice website over and over again until it was announced that they were going to be moving the show back into January and continuing with the meshing of the film and television awards. 
Alison Brie is going to be making a lot of rounds this year on the award season. She personally is nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in the Netflix series GLOW and is part of the ensemble casts of the Best Comedy nominated movie The Disaster Artist and the Best Acting Ensemble and Best Picture nominated drama The Post. So we will be seeing a lot of her over awards season. I am really excited to see what Alison will bring since recently she has worn a lot of really great looks on the red carpet. For the Critics Choice Awards I think that Alison would look absolutely beautiful wearing this Azzaro Spring 2017 Couture gown which features a navy sequined bodice and sand silk draped skirt. The gown is definitely not the same level of designer that we have seen from Alison lately, but the moment I saw it I was enamored with the idea of it. I think that for the occasion of the Critics Choice Awards that this is the perfect type of gown for Alison to rock on the red carpet. Style it with chic old Hollywood waves, a navy smokey eye, light pink lip, a navy Judith Leiber Couture ‘Slim Slide’ crystal evening clutch, a pair of nude Giuseppe Zanotti three strap sandals, and vintage Van Cleef & Arpels gold set diamond and sapphire earrings to really make this look perfection for this red carpet. 
Cat Deeley has earned another Best Reality Show Host nomination for her hosting duties on So You Think You Can Dance. Cat can have some really beautiful moments on the red carpet and I am really looking forward to seeing what she will wear on this red carpet. She tends to go to the relaxed glam route, and so I decided to keep that going with this teal Monique Lhuillier Resort 2018 rose print gown which features a strapless neckline, a column silhouette, and a back train design. This gown definitely falls right into what I think Cat would wear on the red carpet, and for the Critics Choice Awards I think that it would be a very chic moment. Since the dress is such a statement on its own I would just add loose waves over one shoulder, a defined eye, bold pink lip, silver crystal embellished Giuseppe Zanotti ‘Coline’ sandals, and a pair of Rina Limor pink tourmaline, diamond, & aquamarine floral teardrop earrings.
Elisabeth Moss is looking like she is going to have a really great awards season this year. She is nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her performance in The Handmaids Tale. I think that we will have some really chic moments from her over the course of awards season. For the Critics Choice Awards I would love seeing Elisabeth give us glamour on this red carpet wearing this black and nude Roland Mouret ‘Addover’ strapless gown which is rendered in black double faced satin, reinvigorated with asymmetric bustling along with a peplum waist with a waterfall panel in blush that falls from waistline to hemline. I think that this very classically film nior style gown would look incredibly chic on Elisabeth. I would go all classic glam with the styling with a defined eye, pink lip, chic Veronica Lake waves, a black Judith Leiber Couture ‘Slim Slide’ crustal clutch, black Giuseppe Zanotti ‘Ada’ gold heel sandals, and yellow diamond Chopard chandelier earrings to make this a beautiful moment for Elisabeth.
Holly Hunter has earned a Critics Choice Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Big Sick. Holly isn’t one who I think will make major waves when it comes to her style, but always looks very beautiful on the red carpet. At the Critics Choice Awards I think that she would look ever so elegant wearing this maritime blue Michael Kors ruched stretch matte jersey gown which features long sleeves, a plunging neckline, and peaked shoulders. This is a very chic moment and I think that Holly would look ever so elegant wearing this gown on the Critics Choice Awards red carpet. I would keep this look rather simple with loose waves, a smokey eye, light pink lip, navy Jimmy Choo ‘Celeste’ clutch, and a pair of navy suede Jimmy Choo ‘April’ platform, block heel sandals for Holly. 
Laura Dern is looking at several awards this awards season so I am really hoping that she will deliver a really great moment on the red carpet at the Critics Choice Awards. I went very chic for the Best Supporting Actress in a TV Movie or Limited Series nominee with this black Armani Prive Spring 2017 Couture on shoulder gown which features a single cap sleeve, column silhouette, crystal embellishments, and a side cutout. This is the type of gown I figure we will see on the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards. When I was picking Golden Globe Awards gowns for stars with the mind of the #MeToo black gown protest I kept the burgundy and pink Ralph & Russo Couture gown I had initially chosen for Laura to wear instead of swapping it for a black gown. The idea that I had already picked a black gown for Laura to wear for the Critics Choice Awards also played a factor in not choosing another black gown for her to wear this awards season. With that said she very well could wear this gown for the Golden Globe Awards as well, but I think that this moment would be much less impactful on the Globes red carpet than the Critics Choice red carpet. Since this gown is so sleek I would want to see Laura go very glam with the styling. A romantic updo, smokey eye, rose pink lip, black Prada snakeskin box clutch, a pair of black satin Christian Louboutin ‘Tres Frais’ sandals, and statement Cartier Haute Jewellery diamond, onyx, ruby, and pearl tassel earrings all would round this look out in the most glamorous way possible.
Michelle Pfeiffer has had a really great year this year and I am really excited to see what 2018 will have in store for her. As she has made the international rounds promoting her projects and attending award shows Michelle has just oozed sophisticated, sensual glamour and I am really interested in seeing that continue through Awards Season 2018. At the 2018 Critics Choice Awards Michelle holds a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a TV Movie or Limited Series I went short, bold, and beautiful with this black Carolina Herrera Spring 2018 RTW ensemble which is covered in multicolored paillettes and features a strong shoulder, peplum blouse and a-line midi skirt all tied together with a black belt with a light blue buckle. This red carpet is definitely one where a tea length gown or cocktail dress could definitely be in play. This look is a little bolder in it’s shape than we have seen Michelle wearing this year, but I think that she would definitely take this look and really breathe life into it on the red carpet. A pair of navy velvet Nicholas Kirkwood ‘Lola Pearl’ slingback, ankle-wrap sandals, a romantic updo, bold defined eyes, and a nude lip would be all that I would add to this look to really allow for the dress to be the focus of this look. 
Finishing out 2017 is my final wish for the year is for one of my favorite ladies on the red carpet, Sarah Paulson. I have a feeling that with her nomination coming by the way of Best Acting Ensemble for The Post, her wins from last year for The People Vs. O.J. Simpson, and a lot of major projects on the horizon I feel like it is inevitable that we will see a lot of Sarah next year. For the Critics Choice Awards red carpet I went to vintage, which knowing her stylist Karla Welch is quite likely, Yves St. Laurent. This ruby-red silk and black velvet gown from the YSL 1994 Rive Gauche collection which features a seductive plunging bow-trimmed, bias cut, high side slit, and cut-out design is definitely something that I can picture Sarah wearing, and I think that this gown just screams classic glamour. When it comes to the styling I want to see Sarah really go for it with a sleek bob, defined eyes, nude lips, a great red velvet The Row mini bag with a dramatic black tassel, a pair of black Christian Louboutin ‘Mira Bella’ criss-cross peep toe pumps, and Cartier jewels including sleek ruby and diamond drop earrings and a really glamorous art deco ruby and diamond bracelet to ensure that this look is perfection from head to toe.
The 2018 Critics Choice Awards will take place on Thursday January 11, 2018.
Ansel Elgort is definitely one of the best dressed men in Hollywood. He appeared on my Best Dressed Men of 2017 list and I am praying that he will bring some fashion factor to his red carpet tuxedo when she steps onto the Golden Globe Awards red carpet where he is nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for his role in Baby Driver. I still went to something a little more classic with this black Bottega Veneta Fall 2017 Menswear tuxedo, but it is made a little more “fashion” with the satin ribbon piping. It’s the little details that can make one tuxedo seem more special than the other and that piping definitely take this classic look and make it not just another basic tuxedo. The fit of a tuxedo is also a really important to how well the look comes across. Typically Ansel has an impeccable fit, and I am expecting that on the Globes red carpet especially. Finishing the look with a crisp white button down, a black bow tie, and a pair of 
Armie Hammer delivers masculine take on fashion all the time. I will say I have missed the days where Armie wore perfectly tailored
Aziz Ansari is a fashion dude, an unexpected fashion dude at that. Aziz is known for taking risks and wearing bold styles on the red carpet. I have a feeling that we will see him deliver something interesting on this red carpet and to do just that I turned to Dolce & Gabbana. If you are looking for a look that gives a fashion take on formal wear you need look no further than Dolce & Gabbana. I did go a little more classic with my option yet again by opting for this head to toe black Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2018 Menswear tuxedo which features ruffle details on the peak lapels and on the shirt. I think that while ruffles can look very 70’s/80’s or Dumb & Dumber inspired that this look is just enough to really make a statement, while still maintaining an overall chic and formal moment on the red carpet. Adding some more fashion details I think that Aziz would add some sparkle via a 
Nick Jonas always brings his a-game to the red carpet and I have high expectations about what he will bring to the 2018 Golden Globe Awards red carpet where he has a nomination for Best Original Song. I want to see Nick go for razor sharp tailoring via this Tom Ford Spring 2016 Menswear shawl lapel tuxedo with an ink blue blazer. Nick has given all kinds of different looks, with great biker jackets and such over the last year, but for a film awards red carpet I think that going more of the elevated classic route is the right way for Nick to go and that is exactly what this look is. Very rarely is fit ever an issue for Nick, so I think that would be no issue with this look either. I would keep the styling pretty much the same as it was presented in the lookbook, but I would swap the patent leather oxfords for a pair of 
Timothee Chalamet is the favorite to take home the Best Actor in a Movie – Drama award at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards. In a journey that started back in February at the Berlin Film Festival. I took not of Timothee then when he wore a bold 
Angelina Jolie is one of the finalists for the 2018 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for her latest, First They Killed My Father. The black gown protest will certainly be something that Angie will partake in. I would love to see her give the most regal moment on this red carpet. If I had to guess I would imagine that Angie will wear a custom gown from Atelier Versace, but there wasn’t a single gown from the brand that I thought would work for the protest and for Angie. So I went on a search and fell in love with this absolutely regal Yanina Fall 2017 Couture column gown which features a black velvet skirt and a white feather like off the shoulder bodice. If anyone could give this gown the major regal moment that it needs on the red carpet it would definitely be Angie. Her presence would be more than enough to make me fall in love with this look; but with a chic updo, kohl rimmed eyes, a bold red lip,
Greta Gerwig has been taking many award nominations and honors this season thanks to her directorial debut Lady Bird. It was one of the many shocking snubs at this event when she wasn’t nominated as a director. Nevertheless the film was nominated for Best Motion Picture – Comedy/Musical and Greta Herself earned a nomination for Best Screenplay. I am really excited to see what Greta has in store for this awards season as she will most definitely deliver some really great looks on the red carpet. The black dress protest is one that I am quite intrigued to see how it will be visualized. Would this black and golf tiered Chanel Cruise 2018 strapless gown be considered appropriate? It does hold black, but I am not sure it will fit the bill. Otherwise I think that it would be a really beautiful moment for Greta. Swap the jeweled belt for a simple black waistband and add a pair of 
Mariah Carey is one of the ones that I have very little belief that will join the black gown protest. Mariah is a drama queen and I think that with all of the biggest names of the night wearing black that we will see Mariah go full diva. I could definitely see her showing up on the red carpet wearing this overly dramatic red satin Ines Di Santo Spring 2018 Bridal mermaid gown which features a halter neckline and fitted bodice. The dramatics of this look are right up Mariah’s ally and I know that she will really make this look even more over the top. A pair of 
Last, but most certainly not least, we have the recipient of this years Cecil B. Demile award Oprah Winfrey. I searched high and low for the perfect gown for Oprah to wear to accept this big honor. It was tough because I know that she will definitely be one who honors the black gown protest and had to find a look that would fit that and would scream Oprah. It was then the Christian Siriano Pre-Fall 2018 collection went live on Vogue.com and I found this beautiful black velvet, long sleeve gown which features chic white floral embroidery. I think that this gown screams Oprah and that she would surely make this look really come to life on the red carpet. A chic updo, smokey eye, red lip, 
Laura Dern was one of the examples that I cited at the very beginning of my Globes wishes as an example of how black can still be a really bold option for the red carpet with her 
Michelle Pfeiffer has been one of the most unexpected style stars this year for me. With knockout looks from Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta, Prada, and Monse this year I have high expectations about what she will rock on the red carpet at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards. I want to see Michelle give us nothing but glamour on this red carpet wearing this hot off the runway black Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2018 draped, sleeveless column gown which features a dazzling silver beaded applique on the hip and a side split, that I know that Michelle would not work a la Angelina Jolie. On Michelle this gown would deliver a really elegantly glamorous moment on the Globes red carpet, while still standing in solidarity with the black gown protest. The final touches to this look would be loose waves, a smokey eye, red lip, 
Finishing out this set of wishes is Shailene Woodley. I have to say that I am very wishy washy when it comes to Shai on the red carpet. She can wear some really beautiful gowns, but the effort that she puts into her beauty look and her carriage often leave me underwhelmed. She isn’t a likely winner in this category, but with Big Little Lies expected to be lauded and on the announcement that she show will have a second season that maybe we will see a really major moment from Shailene. I went back in the Zuhair Murad archives to find the perfect look for Shai and I think that this Fall 2014 Couture ensemble which features a white embroidered tank top and a faux wrap black beaded skirt would fit right into her general aesthetic. Because the look is so simple the styling of it will have to be 100% perfection to really make me fall in love with it. I think that a high, sleek ponytail, kohl rimmed eyes, nude lips, a pair of 
Jessica Biel is the one that is lacking in that department not having any Oscar’s or Emmy’s, and this year is the first time she has ever been nominated for a Golden Globe. Her miniseries The Sinner was definitely interesting. I watched part of it and wasn’t really drawn, but Jessica did deliver a really good performance in her role. If her past Golden Globes gowns as a presenter and as Justin Timberlake’s plus one have anything to say about it I think that Jessica will definitely be one to watch this awards season. I went back to my favorite gown from the Chanel Spring 2017 Couture collection for Jessica to wear on this red carpet. I am still shocked that this silver sequin column gown which features a white feathered pouf, plunging neckline, belted waist, and sheer hem hasn’t been snatched up for a red carpet yet. Out of all of the gowns in that collection it was the one that I was expecting to get worn the fastest. It is chic with a bold twist, and I think that it would make for a really great moment for Jessica on the Golden Globe Awards. Yes she has worn ballgowns as a plus one, but this look is just as bold and the platform to really have some fun with jewelry. I would head to Jessica’s go to jeweler Tiffany & Co and a pair of
When it comes down it it I can picture most of the women nominated in this category joining the black gown protest. I can say that Jessica Lange will probably be one of them. She has an activist spirit and I think that she will most likely don a custom black gown. I couldn’t find a single black gown that I really wanted to see Jessica wearing so I picked this blue J. Mendel Resort 2018 walnut brown embroidered 
Nicole Kidman is the likely winner in this category for her amazing performance in Big Little Lies. In the show Nicole’s character is actually a victim of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse so I wonder if she will don a black gown yet again. In her Emmy Awards acceptance speech Nicole used her time to talk about violence against women, and I think that will be the case again at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards. I was talking with someone who sees black a concealing color, and thinks that a color like red is much more of a shocking and impactful color. Nicole could definitely take that kind of a route and wear red, like she did at the Emmy Awards. I think that a bold red for women moment on Nicole would be a really beautiful look especially if she rocked this red Elie Saab Fall 2017 Couture gown which has a corseted bustier that almost likens to high fashion armor. This is a look that screams strength, and I think that if anyone could really bring this gown to life on the red carpet it will be Nicole. I would honestly let the gown be all the statement of this look styling it with a sleek updo, a defined eye, red lip, 
Undoubtedly Reese Witherspoon will wear black on this red carpet. She is a huge supporter of women and she knows when to rock a political statement on the red carpet. I went down the runways to find a look that I think really screamed Reese, but there wasn’t anything that really stood out to me. I was already thinking that Reese would wear something custom so I went looking to the virtual racks to see if there was something that I thought could inspire a really great moment. I saw this black chevron sequined Calvin Klein velvet, one shoulder, chiffon cape, column gown on the Macy’s website and it definitely screamed Reese to me. The 
Susan Sarandon is another one with an activist spirit, so if women are going to don black in protest of sexual violence against women I think that it is extremely likely that Susan will as well. Prior to the announcement of the black gown protest I had already picked this purple Tom Ford long sleeve, pleated gown which features tie cuffs and a column silhouette for Susan, and I think that instead of wearing it in purple that she could easily rock this same style in black. The silhouette of the gown is a little different that what we are used to seeing from Susan. This year we have seen her wear off the shoulder, long sleeve gowns with portrait necklines over and over again, and I think that this would be the perfect way for her to switch things up a little bit. Add a pair of 
Alison Brie is one of the only stars on this list who I can kinda get a grip on what she may wear on the red carpet. In addition to her first Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for her Netflix series GLOW, Alison is also part of the ensemble casts of the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy nominated film The Disaster Artist and the Best Motion Picture – Drama nominated film The Post. When we see stars that have projects nominated in both the film and television categories at the Golden Globe Awards we usually see stars rocking some really great fashion, so I am really excited to see what Alison, and her stylist Cristina Ehrlich, will pull together for this red carpet. I had a rather basic gown picked out for Alison, but as she has made some appearances lately my feelings started to change, so I went back to the drawing board, with the black dress idea in mind. I think that going for the bold in this floral embroidered tulle overlaid Giambattista Valli Fall 2017 Couture gown would be a risk for a TV actress, but with the films she is a part of being nominated for Best Motion Picture (in each category,) I think that Alison could get away with this very bold couture moment. In the case of this look the dress is the moment, and the styling will have to be simple and 100% on point. I think that with a pair of
Frankie Shaw is one of the new faces on the scene this year and I did a little poking around at some of the things that she has worn in the past and honestly it wasn’t much help at all. When one gets a major award nomination they suddenly start to make even better fashion choices, thanks to the help of even better stylists. Frankie is working with Annabelle Harron, who also dresses stars like Sarah Gadon, Salma Hayek, Jaime King, Teresa Palmer, and Oprah. I know some of the brands that Annabelle likes to place on the red carpet, and we could very well see Frankie wearing just about any of them, but I went in a different direction. I was looking through lookbooks at gowns that would be perfect for the Golden Globe Awards and I saw this black velvet Monsoori Fall 2017 RTW gown which features a dramatic train and a plunging neckline. I thought that it would look so chic on Frankie. The drama of this look is in stark contrast to the frothy (and fugly) tulle ruffled gowns from the brands that we have seen on the likes of 
Black may be the name of the game when it comes to picking the right gown for the 2018 Golden Globe Awards but Insecure star Issa Rae is known for her use of color and pattern. I went back and forth on what to pick for Issa to wear for this red carpet. She could definitely be one of the ladies joining in on the silent protest of wearing black, but she just does color so well and the idea of her wearing this melon yellow Carolina Herrera Spring 2018 RTW embroidered silk organza 
Pamela Aldon is another newbie that I had a really hard time picking a look for. She is known her her pants ensembles and black. So I figured she will join the ranks of nominees and presenters that will don black in protest, but I went to a gown instead. I just couldn’t find a pant look that I thought would be right for Pamela and the Golden Globe Awards. But when I saw this very simple black Tadashi Shoji Resort 2018 gown which features an a-line skirt, long sheer sleeves, and a draped cowel neckline I thought that it would be a chic moment for Pamela to rock on the Golden Globe Awards. Is this a gown that will end up on my best dressed list? Probably not, but I don’t think that is what Pamela would factor into her look. I feel like she will always be one that will give something very simple and sophisticated, but will never push the boundaries of style and fashion. Simple styling including loose waves, a smokey eye, nude lip, a pair of 
Finishing out today is yet another newbie, Rachel Brosnahan. The fair skinned, redheaded star of the Amazon Prime series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is one that I am definitely going to watch. She has the potential to be a really great red carpet star joining the ranks of some of my other favorite red carpet redheads Jessica Chastain, Emma Stone, and Julianne Moore. I decided to go dark for Rachel to wear on the Golden Globe Awards red carpet, but not black. When I saw this dark eggplant purple Georges Hobeika Fall 2017 Couture cap sleeve, column gown which features beautiful beaded fringe and delicate floral embroidery I thought of how gorgeous of a moment it would be on Rachel for her first Golden Globe Awards red carpet. It might be the model has similar skin tone and hair color, so it was easier for me to imagine, but I can really see Rachel really having a truly glamorous moment wearing this gown. Styling it with old Hollywood waves, 
Based on the buzz from the internet I would say that Outlander star Caitriona Balfe is the fan favorite to take home the 2018 Golden Globe in this category, but I think that many will be upset when one of the other ladies nominated in this category win. Caitriona is beautiful and the former model turned actress can really wow me, but when it comes to her Globes gowns in the past I have been pretty underwhelmed. I want to see her really go for the glamour this year with this brick red J. Mendel Pre-Fall 2018 pleated, stripe printed gown which featured beaded embroidery at the sleeve line and the waist. To me this gown screams glamour and Caitriona’s statuesque carriage I think would really make this a really major moment on the red carpet. The silhouette isn’t really anything to laud, but on someone as tall as Caitriona that with the perfect precise styling it could compete against the dramatic trains and couture ball skirts that we are bound to see on this red carpet. I think that with a sleek low bun, kohl rimmed eyes, a matching brick red lip, a 
Claire Foy is one who I feel has great potential, but something about her looks just end up falling flat for me. She is the epitome of royal perfection playing Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, so I know she can be on point. I want her to channel that glamour when she steps onto the Golden Globe Awards red carpet on January 7, 2018. Claire is the reigning holder of the title in this category, but there is a really tight race in this category this year. Claire wore
Elisabeth Moss is one that I can definitely picture wearing black to stand in solidarity against sexual violence in the entertainment industry by wearing black on the red carpet at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards, especially given the subject matter of her show. Elisabeth is the likely winner in this category next year and I really want to see her deliver a wow moment on the red carpet. While I think that Elisabeth will wear black, the gown I want to see her wearing is a bold red. This brand new red Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2018 g
Out of all the nominees this year I think the on that I saw coming the least was 13 Reasons Why star Katherine Langford. The show received such wishy washy reception that I didn’t think that any awards ceremony would dare touch it. I personally thought 13 Reasons Why is one of the best shows of 2017 and really talked about teen suicide in a way that I thought would connect with youth. I didn’t think it glamorized suicide I thought it brought awareness to the signs that someone might be contemplating it. Anyway, I don’t think we will see Katherine take this trophy home. If she did it would be a major upset, but I am really interested in seeing what she will bring to her first major awards show red carpet. I think that Katherine would look gorgeous wearing this black Alexander McQueen gown which features red floral cluster beaded embroidery, 
Rounding out this list is the beautiful Maggie Gyllenhaal, whom I love to see on the red carpet. I tried to start watching The Deuce, but I just couldn’t get into it. I am really excited to see what she will wear on the red carpet at the Globes next year. As I write all of these wishes I find myself still asking if I should swap the colorful gown that I have picked for them in favor of a black gown. I went back and forth with Maggie. She very well could rock a beautiful custom black Prada or Miu Miu gown on this red carpet. I think there are so many beautiful ideas out there for custom gowns, but I really want to see some stars deliver great color moments on the red carpet. I think that Maggie in this pale yellow Ulyana Sergeenko Fall 2017 Couture 40’s inspired column gown which features puffy sleeves, a ribbon belted waist with a crystal broach buckle, and a feathered hem would be the perfect change of pace to black gowns, even if they are for a good statement. Maggie does this 40’s style of glamour extremely well and I think that there would be no better place than the Golden Globe Awards to really make this look come to life. A vintage inspired updo, simple winged eyes, a pale pink lip, 
It seems like going into the Golden Globe Awards there is a two horse race in this category. One of the stars at the top of the race is Allison Janney, who has earned her nomination for her performance in I, Tonya. So far Allison has four wins under her belt with ones from the Hollywood Film Awards and the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards and a total of 13 other nominations already, with BAFTA and Oscar nominations expected. I am really hoping that Allison’s stylist Tara Swennen (who also dresses Kristen Stewart, Ashley Benson, and Julie Bowen) will pull out a major set of looks over the course of award season. A challenge in dressing Allison is that she is super tall, so a lot of runway looks may not be to full length on her. I tried to think of some of the designers that would be willing to create a runway look for Allison to fit her statuesque height. I think that Georges Chakra would be a perfect designer to do just that. I would love to see Allison stand in the black dress solidarity with the #MeToo movement wearing this black long sleeve Georges Hobeika Fall 2017 Couture column gown which features a sheer paneled plunging neckline and 3D silver floral details. This gown is beautiful, simple, with a bold detail. That is what I am praying will be the norm when we see stars wearing black on the Golden Globe Awards red carpet. Details that make simple gowns extraordinary, and not just simple black sheath and column gowns. I would let the metallic floral details of this gown be the centerpiece of this look adding a 
Hong Chau is a Vietnamese born American actress who is nominated for her supporting role in the film Downsizing which opened the Venice Film Festival earlier this year. I hadn’t heard of Hong prior to this premiere but since then we have seen her wearing Elie Saab, Alessandra Rich, Versace, Prabal Gurung, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, and Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini. So I am really interested in seeing what an awards season run will bring from her. I would love to see Hong step out for her first Golden Globe Awards giving us a beautiful couture moment. Elie Saab was the first major designer to dress Hong, so I went back to the brand for her to wear for the Globes. I think that she would definitely take this beautiful metallic nude organza Elie Saab Fall 2016 Couture ball gown which features dusty cornflower blue crystal beaded embellishments would be the perfect look to really make people take notice of Hong on this red carpet. I went back in the archive for this gown because I think that the coloring of this gown would just be so glamorous and elegant on Hong. Upping the glamour even more with a chic updo, smokey eye, nude lip, 
Laurie Metcalf is the other supporting actress who seems to be in the lead of favorites to take home this award at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards. I don’t think of Laurie as a fashion girl. She has worn the same dark green draped Christian Siriano gown for several red carpet events, but I am intrigued to see what an award season where she is being seen as a major contender will bring from her. For the Golden Globe Awards I went to this beautiful purple chiffon Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition Fall 2017 long sleeve draped gown for Laurie because I think it makes for a very beautiful moment for the actress. The gown isn’t anything that would top best dressed lists, but I think that the just inherent elegance of this gown would be enough to really make it a beautiful moment for Laurie. When it comes to styling Laurie isn’t usually one for a lot of accessories so I would just pair this gown with a pair of matching 
When I was thinking about what Mary J. Blige I went back and forth on what gown I was going to pick for her. I had this gorgeous Zuhair Murad gown all set to go up, but then the announcement of the black gown protest came about and I was left to think if Mary would be one of the stars who would join that group of stars standing in solidarity with the #MeToo movement. Ultimately I decided that it was a resounding yes. So I am saving that gown for one of Mary’s other appearance this awards season. I had to go back to the drawing board. First I went back to the same collection that the first gown I had picked was from, but then as I decided to save the original gown for something else made me start looking elsewhere. It was a pretty easy choice for me to pick this black, sheer chiffon Paolo Sebastian Spring 2018 Couture caped ball gown. This gown is a real statement and I think that for her first major awards red carpet as a serious actress. Paolo Sebastian isn’t a really big name, but I think that for Mary and this red carpet that I think that she would definitely make this dress a really regal moment for the Globes red carpet. A sleek glamorous updo, smokey eye, bold red lip, a pair of 
Rounding out today is the gorgeous Octavia Spencer who sees her nomination come from her performance in The Shape of Water. Octavia is always one who brings glamour to the red carpet, and as I have said I am making wishes that would help expand her repertoire of designers. Jenny Packham has been known to dress the curvy women of Hollywood on the red carpet, so I thought turning to the brand for Octavia would be a great idea. Disco glamour has been a huge trend recently and when I saw this midnight blue sequined Jenny Packham Resort 2018 long sleeve, wrap gown with a velvet ribbon tie I thought it would be the perfect gown to put Octavia on that train. Often we see Octavia wearing very classic shapes and usually minimal on embellishments. I think that this would be really good moment for her to just sparkle the night away. Since the gown is a statement all on its own I would have Octavia style the look with a sleek high bun, a blue smokey eye, red lips, a 
Emma Stone won a Golden Globe this year for her performance in La La Land and is nominated again in the same category for the 2018 ceremony. With the win from this year we could have already expected to see Emma on this red carpet, but with a nomination for Battle of the Sexes I have a higher expectation about what she will wear. Earlier this fall Emma was announced as a face of Louis Vuitton and so far she has given us a good range of designers on the red carpet. She hasn’t become that just Louis Vuitton one trick pony that most LV ambassadors have become. I decided that since there aren’t any good looks for the Golden Globe Awards from LV that I would buck the brand in favor of this black strapless Armani Prive Fall 2017 Couture ball gown which features a sequined bustier and a tiered tulle a-line skirt which features blue and pink embroidered details to make this gown just a little more visually glamorous. I had already picked this gown before the announcement of the wardrobe protest, and it was one of the designs that made me start to change my mind about what not loving the idea of a sea of black gowns. When I was searching for the perfect accessories for this look I found a 
Helen Mirren was one that I wasn’t really expecting to see nominated, but I was glad to see get one for her performance in The Leisure Seeker. I love seeing Helen on the red carpet because she always bring something that is incredibly chic, but always has a fun factor to her looks. For the red carpet at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards I went into the Valentino archives to pick the perfect gown for Helen. Since Maria Grazia Chiuri left Valentino to head Dior we haven’t seen anyone wearing a look from any of the collections that she worked on with former co-designer Pierpaolo Piccioli, who is now the sole creative director of Valentino. It is a shame because there are a lot of really beautiful gowns still in the Chiuri/Piccioli archives that deserve red carpet moments. This blue floral brocade long sleeve ballgown from the Valentino Fall 2012 Couture collection is one of those pieces that I hope do get dusted off and worn by someone at some point and I think that it would be a perfect option for Helen to rock on the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards. This gown just oozes sophistication and I think that Helen would carry it extremely well. Styling it with a pair of 
Margot Robbie has a good chance of taking home this trophy next year for her portrayal of Tonya Harding in I, Tonya and I am really praying that she will deliver something really major on the Golden Globe Awards red carpet. I would most likely expect Margot to wear something custom for this red carpet, but how gorgeous would Margot be wearing this liquid gold velvet Schiaparelli Fall 2015 Couture column gown which features beautiful beaded details and a dramatic train. This gown is glamour defined and I am honestly shocked that not a soul has snatched it up yet. It is a gown for a grand occasion and I do think that the Golden Globe Awards red carpet is a perfect platform for it. I believe that with a 
Saoirse Ronan is who I expect is the favorite to win in this category this year for her performance in Lady Bird which has given her many of honors and accolades already. I will not tell a lie that while I didn’t pick a totally new gown for Saoirse to wear for the Golden Globe Awards I did swap the gowns I had initially picked for her to wear for the Globes and SAG Awards since I had a black gown on my SAG wish list for her. I saw this black Gucci Pre-Fall 2018 velvet gown with a sparkling tulle train and a crystal belt buckle and Saoirse was one of the first few people that immediately came to mind, so I thought it would be a really great glamorous gown for Saoirse to possibly win wearing. This gown is dramatic and beautiful, but with one hair out of place this look could be very boring. A sleek updo, kohl rimmed eyes, a bold red lip,
