Awards Season Evening Gown Wishlist 2014

Before we spring into awards season, I have scoured the fashion week archives to find a few stunning runway looks that I hope we will see on the red carpet.


Coral Crush

  I love the colour coral and how it simply suits all hair shades and skin tones. I have the fun tulle Oscar de la Renta look penned for a pop star and the sleek embroidered J.Mendel gown for Emmy Rossum or Sandra Bullock. The chiffon Badgley Mischka would be stunning on Diane Kruger. The floral ruffled Christian Siriano dress is something Julie Bowen would wear.

White Wonder

Where better to wear white off the aisle than on the red carpet. The three lace embroidered gowns desperately need an Oscar outing. We've already seen Gwen Stefani rock a fully fringed dress last year, so hopefully this snow white tinseled number by Siriano will be on someone's list. Latina beauties Eva Longoria and Eva Mendes always look incredible in white.

Gem Tones

These rich jewel tones will be beautifully received at any movie awards show this season. I love the drama of the ruby Elie Saab, seeing that Taylor Swift, Noomi Rapace and Elizabeth Banks are fans, we may see it on either of them. The emerald green Elie Saab would look fabulous on red heads Amy Adams or Emma Stone. The baroque lace Valentino gown needs a Met Gala visit. Jennifer Lopez would dazzle in either of the Zuhair Murad looks.

Blush Pink

This pretty pastel hue has been trending off the red carpet, so I hope to see it sparkle in the spotlight this season as well. These saccharine girly gowns can be left up to the young starlets like Elle Fanning, Bella Thorne, Ariel Winter and Hailee Steinfeld. Kaley Cuoco, Kate Mara and Kerry Washington have favored this sugary shade in the past as well.

Red Haute

My awards season wishlist will be made if Nina Dobrev picks out that exquisite lingerie inspired red Elie Saab dress. The Alberta Ferretti would suit Hayden Panettiere or Zoe Saldana. Claire Danes and January Jones always look great in red. Sofia Vergara would work the structured Bibhu Mohapatra dress to it's finest angle. The demure Georges Hobeika gown is bound to outshine every other red gown it competes with.

Black Tulle

We have seen so many mundane versions of black dresses on the red carpet, so this is the year to spice it up. Sheer tulle and lace make these ebony dresses all that more alluring. I'd love the see Selena Gomez in something as bold as the Reem Acra ballgown (lined of course). The lace Elie Saab and sheer skirted Tadashi Shoji gown would be outstanding on anyone. Michelle Williams, Vanessa Hudgens or Emma Roberts please wear the frilled BCBG gown.

Brights

I would love to see some vibrant brights light up the red carpet. My picks for these vivid gowns are Jennifer Morrison or Ginnifer Goodwin in the orange Ferretti. Jessica Alba or Ashley Green in the cerise Venexiana. Karlie Kloss or Victoria Beckham in the cobalt DvF. The red Ralph Lauren was made for Allison Williams and Gwyneth Paltrow. Blake Lively or Rihanna would stop traffic in the yellow Nina Ricci. I'd like to see Olivia Wilde or Reese Witherspoon in the chartreuse Jenny Packham.

Vintage Romance

This romantic ivory tulle and lace gowns are usually a favourite with blond Aussie actresses Nicole Kidman, Naomi Harris and Cate Blanchett. Amanda Seyfried & Keira Knightley never seem to shy away from neutrals. I've love to see the Badgley Mischka on Jessica Biel, the cream lace Michael Cinco gown on Jennifer Lawrence and the Armani on Charlize Theron.

Which of these runway dresses would you like to see on the red carpet this season?
