As we get closer to the actual date of the Grammy’s my wishes are going to get a little more fantastical. While I am still incorporating picks for performers and nominees, some of my wishes are for people we would normally have seen on a Grammy’s red carpet. There are all sorts of great events happening before and after this years show which tell me that there would have been some great moments from those stars as they usually make appearances at those events and then at the Grammy’s themselves. So I am disappointed we are loosing out on some of those moments, but I am getting more and more excited for the future. Red carpets are sure to start returning in full force by the end of this year and I am very excited.
Andra Day is one of those stars. She is attending one of those satellite events and with her major awards season run (so far in Chanel Couture and custom Prada) on the road to the Oscars I would definitely expect that we would have seen her at the Grammy’s. For her last two Grammy’s shes referenced bold retro inspired glam, but for this years show I would have gone for more 40’s femme fatale glamour with this deep pool blue velvet Ralph & Russo Fall 2018 Couture strapless column gown which features soft draping, a bustier bodice, intricate crystal snake embroidery, and a daring hip high spit. I love the super sexy Rita Hayworth vibe of this gown and I feel like Andra would be able to sell this gown to us easily. So I would have loved to see her wearing this gown with a sleek retro inspired updo, defined eyes, matte burgundy lips, a pair of gold Casadei rock crystal studded ankle strap sandals, and a statement 18k gold David Webb chain-link collar necklace with brilliant-cut white diamonds and black enamel. 
Billy Porter will be appearing in a Grammy special about the music connected to social movements in the weeks after the show. Knowing that I would have expected to see the fashionista on the red carpet. He always serves up major fashion moments and I’ve been dying to see Billy wear this lime green Palomo Spain Spring 2021 ensemble which features a floor length duster coat (with a robins egg blue lining) with matching trousers and a white shirt since it was first presented. I was going to use it for a “premiere” of a movie he will be staring in, but that movie release got pushed. So I was thrilled that I still got to put this wish into the universe. I would love to see this major fashion moment styled perfectly with a pair of gold Saint Laurent ‘Candy’ platform boots and a vintage Veruda ‘Nosegay’ peridot, white and yellow diamond brooch set in 18k gold and platinum. 
Cardi B will be performing on this years show Sunday night so I know she will be serving LOOKS. Her last two Grammy’s have both been in Mugler, both vintage and custom. I wanted a major moment this year and I found it in this black and silver Elie Saab Spring 2021 Couture one shoulder gown which features sequined “feather” 3D details on the bodice, a single sleeve, sheer construction, crystal embellished waist, and an a-line skirt. I have been all over this collection in my Grammy wishes picking looks for H.E.R. and Ariana Grande as well. Crazy thing is that while all three looks are coming from the same collection they all feel very different at the same time. I would absolutely love to see Cardi take this sexy yet glam moment and style it with a sleek updo, smokey winged eyes, bold red lips, a pair of black leather Christian Louboutin ‘Round Chick Alta 150 Black Kid’ scalloped edge peep toe ankle strap d’orsay platform pumps, and a selection of Amwaj jewels including white diamond waterfall chandelier earrings and a matching white diamond cocktail ring to really make this look come to life. 
John Legend has two Grammy nominations this year and that would definitely have meant we would have seen him and wife Chrissy Teigan on the Grammy’s red carpet this year. I am hoping that this social media savvy duo will still do some super chic fashion moments for the ‘gram. I picked two super dazzling and glam complimentary moments for the pair starting with a steel blue and silver floral jacquard metallic Tom Ford Fall 2021 Menswear tuxedo blazer styled with black trousers. Now the jacket is a favorite of mine from the Fall 2021 menswear collections and I feel like John would look phenomenal in it, but I would style it with a classic white tuxedo shirt, black tuxedo studs, a black bow tie, and a pair of black patent leather Jimmy Choo ‘Foxley/m’ tassel detailed loafers. Now for Chrissy I went with a shining moment with this metallic gunmetal grey pleated chiffon Georges Chakra Fall 2020 Couture strapless gown which features intricate ruffle details, a beaded waist, an a-line skirt, and a thigh high split. Chrissy always knows how to deliver high glam moments on the red carpet and this look would definitely make this a major moment on the red carpet. A sleek updo, defined eyes, dark mauve lips, a grey crystal embellished Jimmy Choo ‘Cloud’ clutch, a pair of metallic gunmetal grey Stuart Weitzman ‘Oracle 100’ crystal ball detailed ankle strap sandals, and statement arabesque inspired Karen Suen white diamond chandelier earrings would add the perfect finishing touches to this look. A winning duo for a fabulous couple. 
Best Country Song nominee Maren Morris will be performing with John Mayer at this Sunday’s show. I always find something to fault Maren with. I want to love her, but her style just is tacky and dated and very try to hard. I actually can’t believe I went here, but I picked two looks from D***e & G*****a Secrets & Diamonds collection. She wore D***e for the CMA Awards and it was one of her better looks. I just feel like if anyone could make me like a D***e moment now it would be Maren. For the “red carpet” I would love to see her wearing this black tiered gown with thick straps, intricate crystal embroidery, and a bustier bodice. It is all about glamour from head to toe and would be perfect with sleek old Hollywood waves over one shoulder, defined eyes, bold red lips, black suede Amina Muaddi ‘Vita’ strappy platform sandals, and a selection of Dena Kemp jewels including black and white diamond drop earrings and a matching link cocktail ring. For the performance I went with more dazzle for Maren picking this silver crystal fringe mini dress which I can see being a super modern flapper moment. Keeping the same beauty adding a soft waves, a pair of silver Aquazzura ‘Temptation’ crystal trimmed PVC peep toe slingback sandals, and more Dena Kemp jewels including white diamond fan cluster earrings, a three flower stud white diamond two finger ring, and a five row white diamond cocktail ring would make this look sparkle and shine in the best way possible on our television screens.
The 2021 Grammy Awards, hosted by Trevor Noah, will air live on CBS Sunday March 14, 2021. You can see all of my wishes for this years red carpet here.
Today’s wishes are focusing specifically what I want to see Amy Poehler wear while hosting this years Golden Globe Awards. Originally I was going to go with looks from the same designer. In her three back to back years hosting the Globes with Tina Fey from 2013-2015 Amy hosted wearing all Stella McCartney looks. So will she return the the label for her looks this year? Well the odds would be yes, but I have 4 major looks from 4 different designers. First up is what would be my “red carpet” look. Since it seems as though we won’t have an actual red carpet this year I don’t know if we will see Amy go for something this dramatic, but I would love to see her wearing this electric blue to black Georges Hobeika Fall 2019 Couture gown which features a halter neck, cape sleeves, defined waist, and feather detailing. I don’t know why I kept seeing Amy every time I saw this dress as I was trying to decide how I was going to do these wishes, but I did. It is out of her comfort zone, but I really love the idea of her giving us bold color and drama instead of her usual simplistic looks. A sleek side parted updo, defined eyes, red lips, 
Now as a host I would like to see Amy rock a couple of looks. You are going to see that for some reason I was on a cape kick when it came to looks I wanted to see Amy wear for the Globes. Following that major Chakra for the “red carpet” I would love to see Amy give us classic glamour wearing this black Lela Rose Fall 2021 RTW a-line gown with a white cape. It is a super glam moment and I definitely feel like it would be in line with Amy’s sense of style. While I do advocate for her pushing her boundaries I also believe that not every look needs to be innovative. I would keep the same beauty glam from the red carpet look styling this gown with a pair of 
Ashley McBryd won the Best New Artist trophy at last years CMA Awards and holds 3 nominations this year. She will also be performing in the opening tribute to the late Charlie Daniels as well as performing her own song “One Night Standards.” I don’t know anything about Ashley’s style, but I always look at all the female nominees pictures to decide if I will cover them or not (country awards aren’t known for big fashion moments) and Ashley made me interested. I don’t know who designed her gown from the Grammy Awards earlier this year, but I liked it. I also love her chest tattoo. So I went shopping. As a curvy girl on the red carpet it can be difficult to pick looks or find brands who will dress you. One brand who specifically caters to curvy women is Marina Rinaldi who recently partnered with Antonio Berardi on a capsule collection. I would love to see Ashley rock the china blue water print silk chiffon caftan gown which features a sash collar, long balloon sleeves, cut at the waist with gathering layered over a matching slip, finished with contrasting black lace. I feel like to ensure this look is a major fashion moment for Ashley I would style it with the
When it comes to country music Carrie Underwood is a queen, but when it comes to the red carpet not so much. I always feel like Carrie has such potential, but often times she just doesn’t live up to it. Her gown last year at the CMA Awards was a mess. It was a sheer monstrosity that had the worse shapewear slip and a dirty dishwater tulle train attached. I want Carrie to rock something major on the red carpet at the CMA Awards this year with this lavender Rami Kadi Fall 2020 Couture strapless mermaid gown which features a crystal embellished sweetheart neckline, a lattice textured drop waist bodice, crystal appliques, and a dramatic feathered skirt. It has been a hot second since we’ve seen Rami Kadi on the red carpet and I feel like Carrie wearing this gown on the red carpet at the CMA Awards would be a triumphant return for both of them. Old Hollywood waves worn over one shoulder, defined eyes, soft pink lips, a pair of 
When it comes to the ladies of country music it’s Kacey Musgraves whom is really the only “fashion” girl out there. She is the one who’s brought looks from Valentino, Giambattista Valli Couture, Moschino, Armani Prive, Balmain, Marchesa, and more to the red carpet. For tomorrow night’s CMA Awards I went with another major high fashion moment picking this rose gold chainmail Atelier Versace Fall 2020 Couture gown which features a plunging v-neck, off the shoulder knot draped sash over the shoulders, fitted silhouette, and a thigh high split. I knew almost immediately that I wanted to do an Atelier Versace moment for Kacey and this gown would be phenomenal on the songstress. With a sleek high ponytail, defined eyes, soft nude pink lips,
Maren Morris tries really hard to be a high fashion country princess, but it just doesn’t work. I tend to think that she comes across looking like she’s trying to hard when she steps out for a red carpet. Earlier this year she wore Alexander Wang and Versace for the ACM Awards and both were very disappointing looks. I feel like she should go for the sugary sweet side of country red carpets and that would be better than trying to force high fashion moments. Case and point? I think that this blush pink Georges Chakra Spring 2020 Couture strapless mini dress with a dramatic cape train would be a really great moment for Maren to bring to life on the red carpet. It is soft and sexy and despite its drama doesn’t seem like something that would have to be forced. It was a natural pick. While it would fit the boxes of your typical country music awards red carpet look I also think that Maren would be able to make it her best red carpet moment ever especially if she were to style this gown with a sleek high bun, defined eyes, bold pink lips, a pair of 
The final wish I have for this years CMA Awards is for Miranda Lambert. She doesn’t walk many red carpets and she doesn’t have really good style. In fact for this wish I went for something every classic ans glamorous. She isn’t going to push boundaries so why even try. It’s been a while since I’ve even loved one of Miranda’s simpler looks. I feel like this black Tony Ward Spring 2021 RTW Chantilly lace fitted gown which features multicolor floral embroideries overlapped with a draping asymmetrical Georgette gathered on the waistline screams eleganza and would be a super chic moment for Miranda to bring to life on this red carpet. I wouldn’t be a major Best Dressed of the Year moment, but with old Hollywood waves, smokey eyes, bold red lips, a 
I wanted to pay homage to Angelia Houston, the original Grand High Witch in the original The Witches, and so I picked this gorgeous black and white Georges Chakra Fall 2020 Couture structured gown which features a dramatic asymmetric ruffle draped shoulder, column skirt dramatic train, long sleeve, and a white opera glove. I do feel like this gown embodies the spirit of The Grand High Witch and I feel like Anne would be able to sell it to me with effortless ease. A sleek bun updo, thick defined eyes, bold red lips, a pair of 
2010’s On The Road was the first and only film that Amy Adams has stared in that has screened in Cannes and she didn’t even make the trip to the French Riviera to promote the film. I would have LOVED to see Amy bring her signature glam to Cannes this year to promote The Woman in the Window. I picked two super glamorous and elegant moments for Amy starting with this dark blue Oscar de la Renta draped cap sleeve wool blend midi dress which feature a faux wrap style skirt and a thigh high split. While some would work that full split to its potential I think that is much more of a classy woman and would just let the flesh pop naturally. I think that this dress minus the oxblood leather belt it was styled wit on the runway styled with a sleek center parted hairstyle tucked behind the ears, defined eyes, rose pink lips, and a pair of
Julianne Moore has screened many films in Cannes and has won the festivals Best Actress award so seeing a film with her amongst the cast screening at the festival. So I started searching for two super moments for Julianne to wear while promoting The Woman in the Window in addition to the two couture moments I picked for her to wear as a L’Orealista from 
I have several wishes for Cannes regulars today starting with L’Orealista Andie MacDowell. Sometimes Andie delivers WOW moments and sometimes she delivers beautiful but standard looks and sometimes she tries taking a risk and it just doesn’t work. My first wish for Andie was a super sleek statement red Valentino sequined column gown. That would most likely have landed in the WOW category. Today’s wish is much more within the beautiful but standard area. I LOVE this glamorous black silk Carolina Herrera Fall 2020 RTW strapless pailette embellished trumpet gown and I think that it is definitely something that Andie would be drawn to. I was looking and we have really only seen Carolina Herrera on the red carpet in Cannes three times before. Usually we see stars opt for European or couture labels for Cannes, but this super glam gown definitely would have spoken to the elegance that Cannes requires. I think that had Andie worn this gown with old Hollywood waves worn over one shoulder, defined eyes, red lips, a 
Bruna Marquezine is a friend of Chopard so I was definitely hoping to see her bring the glam to the Cannes Film Festival red carpet this year. I wanted to see her wearing a custom version of this sea glass blue Alberta Ferretti Limited Edition Fall 2019 Couture ruffled gown which features a plunging neckline removing the sheer yoke, intricate beading, and a mermaid silhouette lengthening the hem to have a dramatic train. This gown with those modifications could definitely make for a perfect Cannes Film Festival gown and I think that Bruna would have been able sell this moment to me with ease. A loose romantic updo, soft smokey eyes, bright pink lips, a pair of 
Thai actress Praya Lundberg knows how to bring the sexy and the drama to the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. Over the years she has typically chosen one column gown and one ballgown. In my What Could Have Been wishes I went for two major ballgowns. The first was super glam from Rami Kadi, so for the second look I wanted to infuse some sex appeal into the look. So I picked this black Georges Chakra Fall 2019 Couture asymmetrical one shoulder gown which features a cold shoulder, chest cutout, a sheer beaded column skirt, and a dramatic ruffled bustle train. It would be that dark, sexy glamour moment and I knew that it would have easily been something that Praya would have been drawn to. So to finish this look I would have loved seeing Praya style this gown with a sleek updo, defined eyes, bold red lips, 
Originally I was going to pick a more traditional Indian look for my second wish for the gorgeous Sonam Kapoor, but instead I went for dramatic glamour. I have wanted to see this midnight blue shiny Georges Hobeika Fall 2014 Couture gown which features a sweetheart neckline, fitted silhouette, and a dramatic bustle train on a red carpet since it was first presented six years ago. At the time I really wanted to see Eva Longoria wear this gown, but now I feel like Sonam is the perfect person to pull this gown out of the Hobeika archives. The gown itself isn’t beaded or dazzling on its face it has gravitas. I know that with a sleek updo, navy smokey eyes, soft rose pink lips, a pair of 
Rebecca Hall has been one whom I find extremely underrated as a fashionista. I would have loved to see what she would have cooked up for looks to promote her directorial debut on the worlds most glamorous platform. Naturally I turned to nothing but couture, because what else should one wear to promote their first directorial feature in Cannes other than haute couture? For the photocall I went with a tailored look from the Armani Prive Spring 2020 Couture collection which includes a red and sand ikat print cropped blazer with a ruffle detail and a pair of sand silk pants. The look is classic yet statement making and perfect for a photocall and press conference at the worlds most prestigious film festival. I would style the look with a sand silk charmuse button down, defined eyes, light red lips, and a pair of 
It was in Cannes back in 2016 that we were first introduced to Ruth Negga when she stepped onto the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals wearing Marc Jacobs styled by Karla Welch for the premiere of Loving. Since then Ruth has shown us that she is a real fashionista, but for the last almost two years she has almost exclusively worn Louis Vuitton on the red carpet. Regular readers know my disdain for Vuitton as a major red carpet brand, but it is what it is. I want to see her once again deliver high fashion moments on the red carpet. For the photocall I went left of Louis Vuitton for Ruth picking this creamy beige and red Guy Laroche Fall 2020 RTW pencil dress which features color blocking, a pussy bow neckline, and asymmetrical 3/4 length sleeves. This look is super chic take on 80’s secretarial chic and I think that Ruth would be able to rock for a photocall with her signature cropped curls, defined, nude glossy lips, a pair of 
Tessa Thompson would have made her Cannes Film Festival debut this year had Passing screened at this years Cannes Film Festival. Since bursting onto the scene thanks Selma several years ago Tessa has really grown into the perfect fashionista on the red carpet. She isn’t afraid to take risks and give us bold glamour moments on the red carpet. So as I was looking at the couture collections for inspiration for what I wanted to see her bring to life in Cannes I just knew that Tessa would be the perfect Valentino girl in Cannes, so I picked two looks from the brands couture collections for Tessa. The first for the photocall is a tailored ensemble from the Valentino Fall 2018 Couture collection which features a metallic gold blazer, a watermelon pink chiffon top with a pussy bow neckline and dramatic ruffled cuffs, and a pair of mint green pleated bermuda shorts. This look is not for the fashion faint hearted and is going to take the right vibe to really make work off the runway. It doesn’t really shock me that this look hasn’t been worn since it was first presented two years ago, but I feel like Tessa has the effortless edgy presence needed to snatch this gown out of the Valentino archive and bring it to life for a photocall. With the look being such a risk I would keep the styling relatively simple with a sleek updo, thick winged eyes, nude lips, and a pair of 
Dutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes has been coming to Cannes as a L’Orealista for as long as I can remember, but I can only think of three times where she has really knocked it out of the fashion ballpark. Those looks came courtesy of Calvin Klein by Francisco Costa, Balmain, and Tom Ford. Each look was super sleek and glamorous in its way. Doutzen tends to be more of a sleek minimalist, but honestly I think about other red carpet moments she’s had and I know that drama is in her vocabulary. I’ve picked two looks I wanted to see Doutzen wearing in Cannes this year in these wishes, the first one being this white Atelier Versace Fall 1997 asymmetric ruched draped gown which features an asymmetrical neckline, single strong shoulder, one sleeve, a thigh high split, and a sweeping train. After picking all those major archive runway moments for the Met Gala I wanted to keep the idea moving as there are vintage moments that really deserve red carpet moments. This is one of them. I think that Doutzen has the presence to really ooze dramatic, sensual glamour wearing this gown on a red carpet especially with a sleek updo, smokey eyes, red lips, a pair of
A decade ago in Cannes Eva Longoria was OWNING the red carpets wearing major looks from 
Marion Cotillard is a Cannes Film Festival regular. Honestly I wonder at what point in time she will finally be selected to act as a jury member at the festival. Well this year it looks like instead of reporting for jury duty that Marion was expected to premiere another film at the festival. Just a couple of weeks ago Chanel made its relationship with Marion official unveiling her as the newest face of the Chanel No. 5 fragrance. This news came as no surprise as Marion has almost exclusively worn Chanel on the red carpet over the last year. I decided to only pick one Chanel look for Marion to wear while promoting Annette on the croisette. So for the films photocall I decided to go with a bold statement look from the Halpern Fall 2020 RTW collection which features an orange and yellow one shoulder caftan top and a pair of metallic lime green skinny pants. I have wanted to see Marion wearing looks from this collection since I first saw the images from the runway presentation back in February. This look would definitely fit right in on the iconic Cannes photocall setting overlooking the French Rivera. Styled with loose bohemian waves, defined eyes, bright pink lips, a pair of 
Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai is a long time ambassador for Cannes Film Festival sponsor L’Oreal Paris. She embodies glamour and always goes for the bold. The last three years especially. I am always looking at the couture runways for perfect fashion moment for Aishwarya to bring to life on the Cannes Film Festival red carpets, as this really is the only big event each year we see her attend. I saw this MAJOR electric blue Stephane Rolland Spring 2020 Couture “Half Moon” duchess satin gown which features one long sleeve, strong shoulder detail, a silver crystal embellished detail on the bodice, a draped tulip skirt, center split, and a LONG dramatic train and Aishwarya immediately popped into my mind. She knows how to work difficult gowns on the red carpet and this gown is definitely difficult to pull off. I feel like she would take this major modern meet’s 60’s style moment and go full 60’s glam with it styling this gown with a sleek beehive updo, thick wing lined smokey eyes, bold red lips, the runways platform silver pumps, a pair of major 
Petra Nemcova is a global brand ambassador for Chopard. As the luxury jewelry brand is a sponsor of the festival we always see the gorgeous supermodel on the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals. When it comes to style Petra isn’t really someone I look to shut down the red carpet in Cannes, but I do expect her to wear something super glamorous. So I saw this aqua Georges Chakra Spring 2020 Couture asymmetrical gown which features a single sleeve off the shoulder neckline, flounce detail at the hip, thigh high split, and a long dramatic bustle train and thought it would definitely be a super glam statement gown for Petra to wear on the red carpet. She tends to pick red, black, or white gowns for the red carpet so this color would definitely be a great change of pace and would definitely compliment a major
