Life Itself is another headline gala of this years London Film Festival. The romantic drama follows a young New York couple from college romance to marriage and the birth of their first child and the unexpected twists of their journey which create reverberations that echo over continents and through lifetimes. The film first screened at the Toronto Film Festival and then was seen again at a screening in New York. The film will have its next screening as a gala premiere during the London Film Festival and I am really excited to see what the cast is going to bring to the red carpet. 
Olivia Cooke rocked a bold electric blue cocktail dress for the films screening at Toronto International Film Festival. I was really looking forward to seeing what Olivia was going to bring to this red carpet in Toronto after the major Calvin Klein moment she had earlier this year. I feel like if Olivia stepped onto this red carpet that if she stepped out for the London Film Festival premiere of Life Itself wearing this black lace Christopher Kane Spring 2019 RTW midi dress which features strong structured shoulders, a square neckline, a-line skirt, and crystal embellishments that she would be a major moment on the red carpet. This dress is a sexy and glamorous dress and I definitely think that Olivia would be able to sell it to me on the red carpet. A curled vintage inspired bob, defined eyes, dusty rose pink lips, a pair of black Jimmy Choo ‘Betty’ crystal embellished strappy sandals, and Atelier Swarovski ‘Mosaic’ lab created diamond drop earrings would all add to the major edgy glamour of this look. 
Olivia Wilde rocked sexy and glamorous Alexandre Vauthier for the TIFF premiere and then was more dowdy in Andrew Gn for the films screening in New York. I want to see sexy Olivia back on the red carpet at the films gala premiere at the London Film Festival. I feel like we have seen this ruby sequin Julien Macdonald Spring 2019 RTW long sleeve column gown which features a dramatic plunging neckline, beaded lace up details, a dramatic center split, strong shoulders, and a midi length in a million colors mostly black, gold, and silver before but I think that it would be a really sexy and glamorous moment for Olivia to bring to this red carpet. Olivia has never worn a Julien Macdonald look on the red carpet, but I definitely think that the London Film Festival would be the perfect time for her to give us this moment. I think that with a loose wavy bob, defined smokey eyes, nude lips, a dark red Marchesa ‘Beth’ faceted glitter acrylic clutch, black Stuart Weitzman ‘Nudistsong’ patent leather sandals, and a pair of Martin Katz diamond and ruby chandelier earrings that this would be one really major moment for Olivia.
The 2018 London Film Festival will open on Wednesday October 10, 2018 and will run through Sunday October 21, 2018.
Rosamund Pike has been one I usually either love or loathe on the red carpet and I am praying that she will wow us once again when she steps onto this red carpet. She very well could bring something off of the Givenchy Spring 2019 RTW runway, which actually takes place tomorrow, since she has rocked Givenchy for both the 
I wasn’t thrilled with the Thom Browne gown that Cynthia Erivo wore for the TIFF premiere of Widows, but I do applaud her for always taking risks on the red carpet. She definitely likes to make a statement and take a risk so that is exactly what I did when picking the perfect gown for her to wear for the opening with this Alexandre Vauthier Fall 2018 Couture ensemble which features a strong shouldered velvet bodice, wide satin belt with a large crystal buckle. and a bold yellow high-low pleated bubble skirt. This isn’t about embellishments, print, or texture which is Cynthia’s usual MO. This gown is all about that dramatic yellow skirt. On most I wouldn’t think this gown event appropriate for the London Film Festival, but I think that if anyone could make it work on this red carpet it would be Cynthia. Where she could loose me with the look is the styling. I need her hair and makeup to be totally on point with this look. A sleek hairstyle, smokey eyes, and glossy red lips are the perfect beauty touches for this ensemble and I think that a pair of 
Elizabeth Debicki finally lived up to the hype behind her when she stepped out at the 2018 Toronto Film Festival promoting Widows wearing brands like 
Michelle Rodriguez rarely gets me excited when she steps onto the red carpet and I don’t have high expectations for her doing that when she steps out on the red carpet at the London Film Festival premiere of Widows. She could easily step out wearing some sort of pantsuit and that is actually what I think is most likely. I would however be shocked and awed if she stepped onto this gala red carpet wearing this black sheer Romona Keveza Fall 2018 RTW long sleeve ballgown which features opaque seaming, nude lining, a plunging neckline, and a dramatic ball skirt. Michelle can do edgy glam really well and I think that is exactly what I think this gown would be on her. It is sexy and glamorous and I definitely think that Michelle would definitely be able to sell this gown to me on the red carpet especially when paired with old Hollywood waves, defined eyes, nude pink lips, 
I am really looking forward to seeing what we will see Viola wearing on the red carpet at the Widows premiere in London. Viola rocked a simple black column gown with a statement African beaded collar necklace for the films premiere in Toronto. For the London premiere I went for a bold and glamorous moment with this grape purple Elie Saab Fall 2018 Couture strapless gown which features chic column draping, a cape styling, and a dramatic split. It is a dramatic and glamorous moment and I feel like it would be the perfect option for Viola to wear for the opening gala of a major film festival. I didn’t go over the top with the styling wanting to let the gown be the real statement of the look. I think that her full curls, defined eyes, dark red lips, a pair of 
I cannot even tell you the last time I was really wowed by something that Michelle Williams has worn on the red carpet in a really long time. She has been stuck under the thumb of Louis Vuitton for years now and I don’t see a change to that happening anytime soon. So I went to my custom gowns file and found this black and white custom Louis Vuitton column gown which features an off the shoulder neckline, printed bodice, and an all over sequin construction. It is that beautiful moment that I know on some others I would make it would make it a best dressed worthy moment, but it isn’t very often that Michelle breathes life into anything. If Michelle could style this gown with her typical sleek pixie, defined eyes, bold red lips, a pair of 
Irina Shayk rocked simple and standard 
So for this red carpet I really want to see Zoe Kazan bring something romantic and flirty and that is why I turned to this black Brock Collection Spring 2019 RTW ‘Ophelie’ hand embroidered lace midi dress which features
BOSS:Â BOSS made its return to New York Fashion Week for the first time since Jason Wu left the brand. The chic collection was designed by the in house team from the brands home in Germany. The collection was all about being loose and carefree and I really did love everything that it had to offer. My favorite look from the collection was this silk shift dress which features a plunging neckline loose fit, midi length, and abstract print and I think that someone like Laura Dern would really be able to sell this look to me on a red carpet.
Christian Siriano: Christian Siriano is always one of the most star studded shows of New York Fashion Week. This season he seated Danielle Brooks, Carmen Electra, Judith Light, Cynthia Nixon, Whoopi Goldberg, Tiffany Haddish, Sarah Hyland, and Kim Petras front row at his now. The collection was full of pops of bright neon and as soon as I saw this neon yellow tulle ballgown which features a sleeveless cutout bodice, tired skirt, and a dramatic train I knew it would be a major red carpet moment. I am praying that Sarah Hyland (or at least her stylist Brad Goreski) immediately went backstage after this show and put this gown on reserve for her to wear during awards season. It would be a perfect Golden Globes gown no?
Jonathan Cohen:Â This list full of emerging talent and I love it. While typically I would put just the big names on this list I give a lot of credit to the young emerging designers who have popped up in the last few years. We have really started to get to know Jonathan Cohen and I am really excited to see what his future has in store. He has earned the love and support of celebrity power stylist Cristina Ehrlich and she has put his brand on some of her clients including the gorgeous Greta Gerwig who wore a gown by the designer for the BAFTA Awards. I won’t lie I she was already in the back of my mind when I was flipping through the pictures of the collection and when I saw this marigold yellow and red 
Novis:Â I first learned about Novis back in 2014 thanks to Taylor Swift. I was expecting the chic feminine looks that the brand turns out to become a more of a celebrity favorite than it ever did. I can’t actually tell you the last time I actually remember someone wearing a Novis look on the red carpet, or a look that I really wanted to see on the red carpet for that matter. That changed this season when I saw this white, pink, and red tulle cocktail dress which features a cap sleeve bodice and a tiered a-line skirt. It is such a chic and feminine look and I think someone like Natalia Dyer would be able to make it that perfectly sickly sweet moment that I know it should be on the red carpet.
Rodarte: Despite the fact that it was pouring during the outdoor show Rodarte returned to New York Fashion Week in high style after showing both of their 2018 collections in Paris. It was the frothy and voluminous confections that we have come to love from Rodarte. Filled with lots of beading, crystals, and 3D floral embellishments. I am expecting a lot of really great red carpet moments to come from this collection and I definitely think that Tessa Thompson would sell this black and white flocked dot ruffle hem chiffon gown which 
Typically we just see French actress and model Laeticia Casta on the red carpet when she steps out as a L’Orealista during the Cannes Film Festival. Those looks are usually full of glamour and I want to see her bring that same level to the red carpet when she steps out for the New York Film Festival premiere of A Faithful Man. One brand that Laeticia almost always looks gorgeous wearing is Alexander McQueen and when I saw this black Alexander McQueen key-hole cut-out evening gown which features beetle-shaped beading at the shoulders and neckline, ruching at the waist, and swathes of jersey cascading to the floor I knew it was the perfect moment for her to bring to this red carpet. It isn’t the typical look we are used to seeing on the red carpet at the New York Film Festival, but I definitely think that if anyone could sell it to me it would be Laeticia. A sleek high ponytail, defined eyes, nude lips, defined cheeks, a 
I have been really disappointed in Lily Rose Depp during this promo tour. She has worn nothing but short sporty vintage Chanel looks. I want to see her bring something more glamorous to the red carpet when she steps out for the films premiere at the New York Film Festival. This silver/grey Chanel Spring 2018 Couture sleeveless column gown which features intricate being on sequin lace, pockets on the waist, and an ankle length hem still delivers that sportier style that she has been favoring, but also adds that glam factor that I am craving so much from Lily on this promo tour. I think that with a sleek updo, smokey eyes, nude lips, a pair of
From Valentino Couture to Armani Prive so far this tour Lady Gaga has topped my Best Dressed lists for 
Irina Shayk is director and star Bradley Coopers ultimate plus one and I am really interested in seeing what she will wear tomorrow night. She attended the films premiere in Venice wearing vintage Versace with Donatella Versace herself. For the premiere tomorrow night I went for another really sexy and glamorous moment picking this black and gold Oscar de la Renta Spring 2018 RTW gown which features 
This is the other film that Juliette Binoche has screening at the festival and I didn’t realize it until after I was done putting all my wishes for the festival together, but it is the second velvet skirt suit I’ve picked for her to wear as well. Both of Juliette’s films are set to screen on the same day so two different velvet suits could be fun. Both are couture and from brands that we typically see her wearing on the red carpet. When it comes to the premiere of High Life I would love to see Juliette wearing this navy Schiaparelli Fall 2018 Couture velvet skirt suit which features intricate silver beading on the jacket with a high neck and peplum hem and a pencil skirt with a daring split up the side. Its definitely very sexy and I glamorous and I definitely think that Juliette could really sell this look to me on the red carpet and I know that is exactly what would happen if Juliette would style the look with a romantic updo, smokey eyes, rose pink lips, a 
On Thursday in Milan Prada showed their Spring 2019 RTW collection in Milan and I wonder who will be the first person to get their hands on the collection. I would love to see it be Mia Goth at the New York Film Festival premiere of High Life. Mia loves a good dark yet glamorous moment on the red carpet and I think that this hot off the runway black beaded paillette cocktail dress from the Prada Spring 2019 RTW collection which features a very daring plunging neckline and a knee length hem would definitely be just that. This dress is something a little sexier than we typically see what from Mia on the red carpet because of the neckline, but I think that even with just some slight modifications to the neckline that this look would be perfect for her to rock on this red carpet. She doesn’t do a whole lot of over styling with her looks. In fact I wouldn’t add much more than a sleek center parted hairstyle tucked behind the ears, defined eyes, nude lips, and simple 
I absolutely hated the shiny Dior Man ensemble that Robert Pattinson wore on the red carpet at the TIFF premiere of High Life. In fact I hated it so much that it very well could make him the first man to ever make my worst dressed of the year list. While I understand that he is under the thumb of Dior when it comes to his wardrobe thanks to his on going Dior cologne campaign but I want him to make smarter choices when it comes to his wardrobe. I went down the route of this black Dior Man Spring 2019 Menswear suit which on the runway was paired with a harness strap double breasted jacket, black floral button down, and a pair of matching shorts. I would swap those shorts for a pair of tailored trousers to make this look more formal. I would keep the floral shirt all the way buttoned up and tucked in, sans tie. A pair of black patent leather lace up Dior Man creepers all would ensure that Rob redeems himself on this red carpet.
