Friday's Fancies: Red Carpet Ready

I have to admit, I am anxiously looking forward to getting an invite to a black-tie wedding. Even though there are none on the horizon for me (or at least to my knowledge), ever since almost attending a black-tie NYE party, I have been dying for a chance to wear a gown (via RTR, of course).

I haven’t worn a gown since a senior commencement ball at the end of my college career almost 4 years ago (that is insane to think about – I am getting SO old), and award season most certainly makes this longing even more difficult to avoid.  I mean, what’s better than drooling over celeb ensembles during red carpet pre-show coverage? Say what you want about her, but I just about DIED over Rihanna at the Grammy’s. 

Try to tell me she’s not straight killing it. Really, try.

That’s what I thought. 

So, when my time comes (red carpet or not), this black and gold number is what I’d go for (I will never get enough of Monique Lhuillier, and the sharp black tulle structuring is to die for):

Monique Lhuillier gown | Miriam Salat Earrings | Deborah Lippmann - Cleopatra in New York | Chain Bracelet | Nars Lipstick in Honolulu Honey | YSL Eyeliner | Lucite Minaudiere | Bobbi Brown Glitter Eyeshadow in Gold Star | Tory Burch Gold Sandals | Lulu Frost Bracelet | Falsies | Gold Cuff

Glam black & gold with a little bit of edge, just like I like it. 

What's your dream red carpet look? There's plenty more gorgeous going on over at {long distance loving}!
