While I have predominately been covering the red carpets of major US based awards shows there are some other big red carpets that take place outside the United States. The GOYA Awards are the Spanish equivalent of the Oscars and always deliver a really major red carpet. Spanish stars love dramatic looks on the red carpet, ones that for a typical Hollywood red carpet would seem too risky. That is what I love about the red carpet at the GOYA Awards. Salma Hayek in custom Gucci in 2012, Nieves Alvarez in Stephane Rolland Couture in 2013, and Penelope Cruz in custom Atelier Versace in 2016 are among some of the highlights that have come from this red carpet in the past that have me really excited for this year.
Spanish actress Belen Cuesta is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the film Holy Camp! and I am interested in seeing what she wears this year. Last year Belen wore a very chic white gown that I still have no idea who designed it, and it was a really chic moment. For this years red carpet I would love to see her give a color moment wear this green Pronovias crisscross halter neck gown which features a side split, chiffon cape like train, and a sweeping train under the cape. The red carpet at the GOYA Awards is a marketing nightmare to me because everything is over-branded from the extremely busy step and repeat to the branded red carpet, so bold color helps stars stand out against such a busy background and I think that this green Pronovias gown would help do just that. Add a chic updo, simple defined eyes, a red lip, gold Christian Louboutin ‘So Kate’ metallic pumps, and a pair of statement emerald, pink and purple tourmaline, and diamond Bulgari chandelier earrings to really ensure this look is head to toe perfection. 
I had never heard of The Bookshop which has earned English actress Emily Mortimer a Best Actress nomination at the 2018 GOYA Awards, and then I heard it was going to be screening at the 2018 Berlin International Film Festival next month as well. I find it interesting that the film as a GOYA nomination while it hasn’t had a release yet, but to each awards show their own. Carolina Herrera gowns can usually be seen on the red carpet at the GOYA Awards and I definitely think that Emily would look very chic red Carolina Herrera v-neck evening gown which features a wrap style a-line skirt, cascading side ruffle detail, and a bow on the hip. This gown is classic Carolina and I think that going for something chic and elegant for this red carpet would be a great option for Emily to rock on this red carpet. I would keep the styling simple with a red Roger Vivier crystal pilgrim buckle satin clutch, a sleek updo, simple defined eyes, a light pink lip, a pair of red Stuart Weitzman ‘Rossana’ grosgrain pumps with rose appliqué, and Chopard diamond cluster earrings to really ensure that this is a beautiful monochromatic moment.
Spanish supermodel Nieves Alvarez is always on the GOYA Awards red carpet and delivers major moments from Ralph & Russo, Georges Chakra, and Stephane Rolland. The Stephane Rolland gown that she wore in 2013 topped my Best Dressed of the Year list and the Stephane Rolland gown she wore last year came close to being on the BDOTY list too. No one wears a Stephane Rolland gown like Nieves, and I am PRAYING that she will deliver a really dramatic moment from the designer on the GOYA Awards red carpet again this year. I think that this Stephane Rolland Fall 2017 Couture collection which features a black long sleeve turtle neck bodice, a white skirt with a dramatic train, and white and gold sculpted feather like details is perfection for Nieves for this red carpet. She is literally one of two or three people who I think could wear it, and the only one who I think could make it a Best Dressed of the Year worthy moment. A romantic updo, smokey eyes, matte nude lips, vintage black and white porcelain Bulgari pendant earrings, and a pair of gold Christian Louboutin ‘Aketata’ peep toe platform sandals all would ensure that this look is perfection from head to the toe and really deliver that major moment that I know Nieves is capable of. 
Penelope Cruz earned her Best Actress nomination at the GOYA Awards for her performance in Loving Pablo and I am very interested in seeing what she will bring to the red carpet at this years ceremony. In the past Penelope has predominately worn custom Atelier Versace gowns on the GOYA Awards red carpet, but since ACS: The Assassination of Gianni Versace debuted we haven’t seen Versace dress Penelope at all. I turned to a much lesser known designer for Penelope to wear this year with this nude and blue Ziad Nakad Spring 2018 Couture mermaid gown which features long sleeves, a dramatic train attached at the side, and a high off the shoulder neckline. I definitely feel like this gown is a little more dramatic than we are used to seeing stars (other than Nieves) wearing on the GOYA Awards red carpet, but I feel like if anyone could make it work that it would be Penelope. She does drama in the most glamorous way possible, and I think that this would be gorgeous on her. A pair of pleated bisque satin Gianvito Rossi broach buckle sandals, romantic updo, smokey eyes, a pink lip, and a pair of white and yellow diamond Chopard Red Carpet Collection drop earrings all would make sure that this look is the epitome of glamour.
The 2018 GOYA Awards will take place on Saturday February 3, 2018.

Michael B. Jordan is one of the guys who I always have high expectations for when it comes to great menswear on the red carpet, but I wasn’t a fan of the custom Calvin Klein suit that he wore on the red carpet the the LA premiere of Black Panther. To me the fit was boxy and too tight and I know that Michael can give much better than that. I think that this dark green Dior Homme Fall 2018 Menswear skinny suit with a mix of single and double breasted button detailing would definitely be a redeeming look for Michael. The green suit is just enough of a statement on its own, but the button details also add another layer to really make this a standout menswear moment for Michael. I think that if he swapped the red printed shirt from the runway for a crisp white button up and a pair of 
I have two looks for Justin to wear next week. The first is for the press conference ahead of the actual Super Bowl. Every year the half time show headliner participates in a press conference and stars have been giving real looks in recent years, Madonna even wore couture. I went for a chic, laid back look for Justin to wear for the press conference via this mustard suede trucker jacket, light yellow v-neck sweater, and jeans from the Tom Ford Spring 2018 Menswear collection. I feel like this look is perfect for a press conference and would look great on Justin, especially if he pair it with
Dakota Johnson is the one who has really let me down the most. I was expecting some really major moments from her, but am usually left wanting more. I am praying that as she makes the tour for the final installment of the Fifty Shades trilogy with the impending tour for Fifty Shades Freed. I had originally picked the black Gucci gown that Dakota ended up wearing for the 2018 Golden Globe Awards for this red carpet I had to go back to the drawing board. Dakota could definitely be the first to get her hands on the Gucci Fall 2018 RTW collection that will be presented on February 21, 2018. I went back to the same collection as that black gown and picked this nude Gucci Pre-Fall 2018 tulle pleated column gown which features bold crystal trim. I would however would edit this gown to be a strapless gown (right now there are all kinds of crystal details on illusion yoke and long sleeves) because I think that the details above the neckline are just a little too much, especially for Dakota. I think that if she did that that this gown would be perfectly suited for Dakota to rock on this red carpet. I think that the crystal trimmed corsetry and floral nipples sit in fine vibes with the film itself. I think that if Dakota wore this modified gown with a pair of 
Rita Ora owned the press tour for Fifty Shades Darker wearing custom Miu Miu and hot off the runway high low Giambattista Valli Couture, and I have high expectations for what she will bring to the tour for Fifty Shades Freed. I decided to go back to Giambattista Valli for Rita to wear for the Fifty Shades Freed LA Premiere, but went down a different route that the gown she wore last year picking this soft and ethereal goddess draped Giambattista Valli Spring 2018 Couture sleeveless gown which features a plunging neckline, beaded details on the waist and hips, a flowing skirt, and a bit of a train. Rita does the most when she steps onto a red carpet and I know that she would deliver nothing but glamour on the red carpet at this premiere wearing this gown. A chic structured updo, smokey eyes, a bold red lip, 
Sometimes on the red carpet at big film premieres we see some of the big names who are featured artists on the soundtrack and with a star studded soundtrack I am hoping that a few of them step out for the premieres of the film. Hailee Steinfeld and BloodPop teamed up for the song “Capital Letters” for the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack and with Hailee’s red carpet successes I am hoping that she will be on the red carpet at the movies premiere. I think that this black Cushnie et Ochs Pre-Fall 2018 suit which features fringe trim on the cuffs of the jacket and the pants would be a chic and sophisticated look for her to wear for this premiere, since she isn’t actually part of the cast of the movie. I would add a pop of color via 
Alexander McQueen: This season Sarah Burton decided to forgo her usual spot on the London Fashion Week calendar to show her latest menswear collection for Alexander McQueen. To me the McQueen brand, despite its British roots, is a quintessential Parisian runway brand. Several male stars including Eddie Redmayne, John Legend, and Andrew Garfield are fans of wearing McQueen on the red carpet. The look I want to see on the red carpet the most is this rich red rose printed silk suit, but it is going to take the right guy to make it work on the red carpet and I think someone like Drake would infuse this suit with a sense of effortless cool that would make it even better on the red carpet that it was on the runway.
Balmain: I have to say I am pretty much over what Olivier Rousting has done for Balmain womenswear, but I am totally here for his menswear. I have a feeling that is because Olivier has over-saturated the womenswear market since his Balmain x H&M collaboration. It comes that we rarely go a fortnight without at least one Balmain ensemble on the back of a female star, but rarely do we see men wearing the brand on the red carpet. I think the overall extra-ness of the crystal embellishments on the standout pieces that we see on the runways and almost never see on a red carpet. I would love to see this white fully crystal embellished tuxedo jacket layered over a matching black sweater and paired with black patent leather pants on a red carpet but it is going to take someone with a lot of effortless confidence like Miguel to make this into a great red carpet moment.
Dries Van Noten: I definitely feel like a lot of the brands that we hail for their womenswear that also have menswear lines see the men’s collections overshadowed on the red carpet. I can’t say that I ever remember seeing a male celebrity wearing Dries on the red carpet, but as I looked through the Fall 2018 Menswear collection there are definitely some pieces that I would really like to see given a red carpet moment. I personally want to see this chocolate brown blazer which features intricate golden floral embroidery to magically appear in my closet right now, but I also think that Armie Hammer could make it a chic moment on the red carpet too.
Louis Vuitton: The Louis Vuitton Fall 2018 Menswear show signaled the end of an era. Menswear creative director Kim Jones stepped down after assuming the role in 2011. He has given us major moments and memorable collaborations (hello Supreme x LV) and he will definitely be missed. His Fall 2018 show was pretty much a redone retrospective of his greatest hits paired with great combat boots. The show even ended with a major supermodel moment with Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss wearing LV logo trench coats. There is a lot of speculation (that was fueled even further thanks to those trenches) that Kim Jones will be heading to Burberry (could he and Phoebe Philo be splitting menswear and womenswear?) but nothing has been made public yet. I would love to see Nick Jonas take this metallic bomber jacket, tree limb print polo, and navy pants and rock it on the red carpet. I would probably leave the boots at home though.
Paul Smith: Every season Paul Smith gives some great, perfectly tailored menswear on the red carpet. I think that of all the looks on this list that this navy blue and dark purple patchwork wool double breasted suit is definitely the simplest, but I think that makes it more of a contender in my eyes to actually get a red carpet moment. Timothee Chalamet has that same just left off normal aesthetic so I think that he would make this a really chic red carpet moment, maybe for one of the many events on the road to the Oscars.
Margot Robbie on the other hand I am sure will serve a lewk on the red carpet. With a Best Actress nomination for her performance as Tonya Harding in I, Tonya I want to see Margot give us something really major on this red carpet and I think that this Valentino Spring 2018 Couture ensemble which features a mint draped bodysuit with a dramatic pussy bow and a pair of purple tailored wide leg pants is the perfect look for her to do just that. This is something that one wouldn’t normally think of for a luncheon, but I think that if anyone could sell it to me Margot would. I would ditch the runway’s coat, the event is taking place in LA after all, and add a pair of
If there were a gun to my head and someone asked me what Octavia Spencer is going to wear to the Academy Award Nominees Luncheon next Monday I would say Tadashi Shoji. Now that is what I am almost sure that she will wear, BUT this is a wish list after all. I applaud the fact that Octavia has stayed true to Tadashi. He was the only designer that wanted to dress her back when not many knew who she was during her awards season run for The Help, but now the fashion industry has finally started to come around to women with curves and are actively trying to dress women with curves for the red carpet. Zac Posen has been one of those designers and I definitely think that this white Zac Posen Resort 2018 cotton poplin dress which
Sally Hawkins has been giving us Dior moment after Dior moment on the red carpets this awards season, and I have this feeling deep down that is going to continue. I actually find it interesting that Sally and Octavia share the same stylists and they keep putting the two in the same brands over and over, interesting coincidence? Usually when Oscar nominations are announced the gown is the first thing that comes into my mind, but in Sally’s case it was actually the luncheon look that I thought of first. I immediately thought of this 1960’s vintage Oscar de la Renta silk printed dress with an ascot neck tie and long sheer sleeves. Sally in a vintage moment is usually really good and I think that this dress would definitely make for a really chic moment for Sally to wear on the Oscar Nominees Luncheon red carpet. I did add a pair of 
Finishing out my wishes for the red carpet is just one menswear moment for Best Actor nominee Timothee Chalamet. I know that I am holding onto very loose hope that Timothee will usurp the little gold man after Gary Oldman has seemingly swept all of the other awards shows. For the Academy Award Nominees Luncheon I went to this grey and red Prince of Wales plaid Alexander McQueen Spring 2018 RTW slim cut two button suit. Timothee is definitely a budding menswear style star, and I want to really see some great looks from him from now until the Oscars. This look would definitely do just that. I would swap the cream vicars collar shirt the suit was paired with on the runway with a 
Allison Janney is my favorite to take home the Best Supporting Actress statue for her performance as LaVonna Golden in I, Tonya. With every red carpet that Allison has walked she has just gotten better and better this awards season and I cannot wait to see what that will mean for her come Oscar night. For the Academy Award Nominees Luncheon I thought that this
I was laying in bed watching the Oscar nominations live stream on my phone and when they came to Best Original Screenplay and they said Greta Gerwig’s name I got really excited, and then she was on the list of those nominated for Best Director and I lost it. It was shocking to me that someone who directed her leading lady to a Best Actress Golden Globe and directed the film that won the Best Motion Picture – Musical/Comedy Golden Globe wasn’t nominated as a director for said film, so I feel like she was completely vindicated through her Director’s Guild of America nomination and her Oscar nomination. For the Academy Award Nominees Luncheon I went to a really chic look for Greta with this orange stripe printed Emilio Pucci Spring 2018 RTW silk shirt dress which 
Over the course of awards season we haven’t seen Lady Bird star Laurie Metcalf wear any sort of print on the red carpet. That is probably because her stylist see’s print for her as something that is too casual, and I think that on gowns and cocktail dresses that is exactly right. The Oscar nominees luncheon is a casual event so I think that a print could work and when I saw this navy and ivory floral print Escada Spring 2018 RTW ensemble which features a long sleeve button up shirt and matching fitted pants I thought it would be perfect for Laurie. I think that the obvious choice for this red carpet would have been to pick a black wear to to work dress, which I think is probably the likely case, but I think that this look is a more suited for someone nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards. The perfect finishing touches for this look include neutral makeup, chic waves, and a pair of 
I am really looking forward to seeing what Mary J. Blige will wear on the upcoming red carpets. She has been bringing it to the carpets recently and I think that with her Oscar nomination that we will only see her continue to give major moments on the red carpets. Last year two stars brought couture to the day time with Nicole Kidman wearing Chanel Couture and Isabelle Huppert wearing Armani Prive right off the runway for this red carpet. I have a feeling that with some of the great more daytime options that were shown on the couture runways that we will have some great couture moments next Monday. For this red carpet I would love to see Mary give this grey Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2018 Couture sculpted suit a real red carpet moment. I think that the dramatic, yet sophisticated nature of this gown calls for someone with flare and Mary definitely has the flare to make it work. A sleek updo, smokey eye, red lips, and a pair of 
Last in this list is my favorite to take home the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Lady Bird, the gorgeous Saoirse Ronan. I just mentioned how there were so many great looks that could gear more daytime that walked the French Haute Couture runways last week and I think that Saoirse would shut the red carpet at the Academy Award Nominees Luncheon down wearing this Armani Prive Spring 2018 Couture ensemble which features a smokey mauve organza asymmetrical sleeveless top paired with gorgeous sequin embroidered pants. The look itself is such a chic statement that I think with a loose updo, smokey eye, nude glossy lips, and a pair of simple

5) Hailee Steinfeld in Alexandre Vauthier Spring 2018 RTW 
8) Andra Day in custom Victoria Hayes 
As I am sure you are aware thanks to his flamboyant on and off stage wardrobe Elton became a bit of a fashion icon and almost all of the looks that I picked for stars to wear on Tuesday’s red carpet were inspired by him and definitely all things I think he would give his seal of approval to. John Legend will be one of the many performers at this concert on Tuesday so I went on a search for looks that I think that would be Elton John worthy for John and his wife Chrissy Teigan to rock on the red carpet. For Chrissy I went to this black silk Adam Selman Spring 2018 RTW sarong style gown which 
Kesha’s out there style definitely fits into the Elton John aesthetic, but for Tuesday night’s concert I decided to go for bold color over explosions of embellishments and details. I definitely think that this 
Rising country star Maren Morris has definitely been one that I have kept my eyes on as she has started to become one to watch on the red carpets. She keeps upping her style game, thanks to hiring a new stylist, and making higher end choices for the designers that she wears on the red carpet. I went back to the Francesco Scognamiglio Spring 2018 RTW collection, which she actually wore for the 2017 CMA Awards (the silver dress in the picture above,) but I think that this black furry coat layered over a black t-shirt dress which features a bold abstract print would be a fun look for this red carpet. I don’t think that this night will be all about gowns, and this is the kind of look that I think that Maren would totally turn this into a really chic moment for this red carpet. Add a sleek hairstyle, bold defined eyes, rose pink lips, and a pair of
Miley Cyrus is performing on the Grammy Awards stage with Elton tonight and will be on hand to perform at the “Elton John: I’m Still Standing-A GRAMMY Salute” on Tuesday. For tonight’s performance with Elton I went to a Gucci look that was inspired by one of his stage costumes, like I did for John Legend, but for Tuesday I went to an original Bob Mackie design, who also helped dress Elton back in the day. This 
As I have said a few times I get very up and down with my feelings on Miranda Lambert’s style and I am hoping that Tuesday she will deliver something very chic on this red carpet. I think that red Pamella Roland Pre-Fall 2018 draped gown which features a plunging neckline, caped train, daring split, and delicate beaded embroidery would be a really beautiful moment for her. I don’t think that this look evokes the spirit of Elton John as much as other looks on this list, but I do think that it is perfect for Miranda. She isn’t one for much frills and over the top styles, so I think that this would be a great opportunity to deliver something really chic and glamorous. I did add a bit of kitsch to this look via a r
With Keith Urban performing at the “Elton John: I’m Still Standing-A GRAMMY Salute” concert I am hoping that we see his gorgeous wife Nicole Kidman, on the red carpet or at least inside. Nicole is always a favorite to see on the red carpet and she always looks beautiful when she is putting the effort in to support Keith. Like Elton Nicole loves herself some Gucci on the red carpet and I think that she would look so incredibly chic wearing this dark violet Gucci Pre-Fall 2018 velvet midi dress which features full length puffy sleeves, a plunging neckline, and crystal floral embellishments. As a guest I think that this is a really chic moment, that is incredibly beautiful and perfect for a Nicole to wear as a guest on Tuesday night. Add a chic loose updo, simple defined eyes, a punchy pink lip, and a pair of silver Gianvito Rossi plexi/metallic leather sandals to ensure this look is perfection from head to toe.
Kicking things off today is Anna Kendrick, who is coming off the release of the final installment of the Pitch Perfect trilogy last month. For the most part Anna kept a really low profile last year, and when she did step out on the red carpet I wasn’t a huge fan of the looks that she did wear. That was really disappointing for me because I know that she has the potential to make some really great moments on the red carpet. As a Grammy’s presenter in the past we haven’t seen Anna make waves with her style, and I don’t expect her to bring a major couture gown or even a gown at all to the red carpet tomorrow night. Instead I thought that this 
Rapper Eve isn’t one that I feel we hear a lot about anymore. Back in the early 2000’s she was on Grammy red carpets wearing uber sexy micro mini dresses. Now her style has evolved to be more chic, but still really sexy and that is why I thought that this vibrant 
I picked some hot off the runway Chanel Couture for HAIM to wear on the Grammy Awards red carpet that I posted yesterday, but then it was announced that Hailee Steinfeld was going to be presenting and I decided that I would rather her bring Chanel Couture to the Grammy’s red carpet tomorrow night. I think that this silver and grey beaded Chanel Spring 2018 Couture sleeveless jumpsuit which features POCKETS would be a really great Grammy’s moment and that Hailee would really make it come to life on the red carpet. I won’t lie that Kristen Stewart was the first person that came to mind when I saw this jumpsuit on the runway, but I definitely think that Hailee would do this look just as much (if not more) justice on the red carpet. A sleek high ponytail, statement grey smokey eyes, a rose pink lip, 
As you know I have been throwing more menswear into my wish lists, and the men of music love to play with fashion. Harry Styles, who will present tomorrow night at the Grammy Awards, took three spots on my Best Dressed Men of 2017 list, and I am hoping that he will bring just as many moments to the red carpets this year as well. I would love to see Harry be the first to bring Givenchy Couture menswear to the red carpet. While I was watching the Givenchy Spring 2018 Couture show and I saw a male model make his entrance onto the runway I got REALLY excited. Couture has been a women’s game and I love that Clare Waight Keller was one of a small handful of designers to put menswear on a couture runway. I think that this blue and green embellished tuxedo jacket paired with black crocodile leather pants would look really great on Harry, especially for an event like the Grammy Awards. I would however swap the runways sheer shirt for a simple
John Legend is another dude with great style and I am interested in seeing what he will wear on the Grammy red carpet tomorrow night. I already picked a really
And last but not least is the beautiful Katie Holmes. Ever since her divorce from Tom Cruise we have see, Katie really make strides back to great style on the red carpet. In the last year she has had some really amazing fun with fashion and I am really excited to see what she will bring to the Grammy’s red carpet tomorrow night. Two years ago I never would have seen Katie take this black Valentino Pre-Fall 2018 mini dress which features gold polka dots and feathered sleeves wearing this dress, but I think that in the here and now that this would be a really fun and chic moment on the Grammy’s red carpet from her. I think that the dress is such a statement that I would just add a sleek hairstyle, bold red lips, simple black lined eyes, and a pair of
