OMG it’s that time of year again—the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival kicks off tomorrow! It’s officially time to prepare yourself for gorgeous gowns, and let’s face it, questionable choices. Some of my favorite red carpet dresses have been debuted during the prestigious film festival, so I’m looking forward to seeing which repeat attendees will continue their “WOW” streak and who will end up surprising us all. In the meantime, I’ve compiled a list of dresses I hope to see on the stars who are expected to attend.

I have a bit of a soft spot for this particular wish list as the festival last year was the first event I ever did one for.

Ryan Gosling, one of the most high-anticipated stars to see at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival this year, looked dashing on Friday night when he hit the red carpet at the Princess of Wales Theatre to celebrate the premiere of his new movie “The Place Beyond the Pines” with costars Bradley Cooper and (real-life girlfriend) Eva Mendes.

The 31-year-old actor wore a chic brown fine stripe two-button Gucci suit, with a two-button peaked lapel jacket and slim fit trousers. This suit comes from the Fall/Winter 2012 Menswear collection. | continue reading..

It isn’t always about the dresses or the shoes when it comes to looking your best on the red carpet — it’s also not always about the ladies. I’m constantly gushing about my love of menswear — and thanks to the following fellas — I got my fill of some great red carpet suits and well-groomed men this year.

 

10. Douglas Booth
Model, and upcoming star of the “Romeo and Juliet” movie, Douglas Booth was a favorite of mine this year. He’s always been slightly on my radar, but he really caught my eye when he attended the EvianVIP Suite at Wimbledon this past summer brightening up black jeans and a white tee with a pinstripe bright kelly green blazer. I love a man in color.

He played it a bit neutral later on for the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show in London. He, once again, wore black jeans and a low neck white tee –but, this time he dressed it up with a nice textured tan blazer cuffed to show off the white pinstripe interior detail. I love his choice of footwear! The brown and beige in his lace-ups made it all worthwhile. | continue reading..

Evan Rachel Wood is one of my favorite ladies when it comes to fashion, she’s almost always rocks everything she wears. That’s not to say she doesn’t have off moments on the red carpet, though whenever she does — something like last night happens, and I’m reminded of why I stick by her.

The 24-year-old actress attended a party yesterday evening at the West Hollywood hot-spot Chateau Marmont to celebrate Ryan Gosling’s movie “Drive” wearing a killer outfit!

Evan looked stunning in a navy blue silk “Edith” dress by Roland Mouret with a v-neckline, ruffles down the center, and scattered large vibrant red tulip prints. I believe the cap-sleeve matching short cardigan is also attached.

The dress was gorgeous, it fit her beautifully, and she accessorized the heck out of it! | continue reading..

Sigh, I love a well-dressed man.

Ryan Gosling arrived at the premiere of “The Ides of March” last night in Beverly Hills looking extra dapper in a gorgeous olive green satin finish two-button suit with front flap pockets by Gucci. There’s something about a man in suit of a non-standard black, brown, grey, or navy that really does it for me. I wish more actors would take some chances on the red carpet like Ryan — who seems to always be on point.

As if the color wasn’t enough to make the whole look worth it, the two shades darker silk tie featuring diagonal stripes in shades of green was like the cream-cheese frosting on a red velvet cake. Simply yummy.

I don’t understand why Ryan walked with his hands in his pockets as it caused his pants to bunch and wrinkle. I guess he was just totally at ease since he looked good and he knew it. Ryan posed on the carpet with his co-star George Clooney who looked dashing in a double-button dark suit with an open collar black shirt.
