Why? For years Cate has beautifully worn these labels to red carpet events and scored high with fashion critics in the industry. For Cate, it seems her style flourishes with artistic expression when it comes to choosing a look and normally it pays off. The Armani is pretty and delicate, but I would love for her to go regal in this gorgeous McQueen beaded caped gown.

Why? Many stylists are predicting that Brie is going to go glam again such as the golden Calvin Klein above, but I disagree. Giambattista Valli had an amazing showcase during this couture season, so I could see her delving into her girly side with this beautiful piece (one of my favs from the runway) or going bold with this red Naeem Khan Cape Gown. I think less is more when it comes to Brie. She doesn't even look comfortable in that dress above. Expected to win, I think Brie could pull off either of these two and look gorgeous during her shining moment. Although I adore the Valli piece, I am pulling for Naeem on this one. I can't help myself. I am a girl who loves red.

Why? Oh anyone who watches the red carpet knows why! J-Law has a contract with Dior, so she is destined to wear something from their house, most likely custom for sure. To be honest, I find their designs a bit drab and obscure for my liking even though I did love her cutout design from the globes. If I were to dream for a red carpet moment, I would love to see her arrive in this gorgeous floral design from Chanel. I believe she has worn Chanel before, so if I dream hard enough..maybe it could happen!

Why? Saoirse has been sticking to feminine florals and pastels all season long. Some describe her look to be that of a fairy like presence fluttering down each red carpet with her beauty and grace. She likes to choose dresses that have a bit of texture, so either of these could work. The Valentino blue ombre gown would be quite stunning, but I wouldn't mind seeing her in something more youthful such as the Zuhair Murad. With its high-low hem, I think it would be a red carpet moment for years to come! Lastly, I wouldn't be surprised if she wore a young British designer such as Erdem or Stella McCartney. Custom perhaps? We shall see.

Why?Rooney tends to be a little dark and mysterious. She tends to wear gowns that are darker and vampier than others. This McQueen falls right into that category, but I would love to see her have a spectacular fashion moment and arrive in this Chanel design. Her doll like face would shine in this sequin embellished gown with a cape that would sparkle as she makes her way down the carpet.

Rachel has had quite the season. All of her red carpet appearances have been spot on. Her Elie Saab moment at the SAGS was amazing. So with that being said, I could see her going with Elie once more, but of all the runway moments this season, this red floral ball gown from Marchesa has been a favorite of mine. Honestly, I would love to see anyone wear it, but I feel like Rachel just might. She has worn a lot of red hues this season, so if she were to continue with the pattern...fingers crossed, it could be this!

Why? Why? Why? Why? is this gorgeous beauty stuck in a contract with Louis Vuitton. Of all the designers? WHY? Sure the sequin body clinging gown from the SAGS was pretty great, but surely she could do better!! Yes, I am almost POSITIVE she will show up in something custom Louis Vuitton. *YAWNNNN* But wouldn't it be wonderful if she surprised us all with a Marchesa moment. Just go for it darling...please! Maybe that Louis Vuitton got lost, shipped back in one of their suitcases and this was all you had left. *WINK*

Why? Black or Blue, those are Kate's favorite hues. Figure- flattering structured designs are Kate's go to. ( I mean... I would love to see her wear some more color, butttt Kate is the best so I cannot judge.) Once again, Marchesa is my go-to dream choice when it comes to this off the shoulder romantic gown with a sexy slit on the side. Wouldn't she look gorgeous walking in on Leo's ( EHH HEM ...I mean NED Rock n' Roll's arm... of course?) Oh who am I kidding. It is all about those two crazy kids. LEO + KATE= <3 FOREVER
