Style Network Project Runway Marathon "Style-a-Thon": Nick Verreos and Jeannie Mai!!

A Runway-a-Thon...on Style Network:

Couple Fabulous: Style Network's Jeannie Mai and Nick Verreos, on the set of the Project Runway Marathon Interstitials

Tomorrow, January 2nd starting at 8am until 10pm--Style Network will be doing a Project Runway Marathon--and specifically--the season I was in--"back in the day" (2005-2006, in case you were wondering!).

They will air the entire season from "Road to Runway" all the way through to the "Reunion" (Oh Dear!) and Finale! I had the fabulous pleasure of being invited to share my thoughts and give some "Inside Fashion Dish" on my time as a contestant/designer on Project Runway with...

Jeannie Mai, Project Runway Style-a-Thon Interstitial filming, Style Network

The gorgeous Jeannie Mai--my Sister From Another Mother!--from a chic loft near Downtown LA, with AMAZING views! We chatted all things "Project Runway"--from the judges, to how much time we really have--to is there really a light switch under the pattern table. I had the BEST time with Miss Jeannie! I can talk to her FOREVER! (sorry producers and director!) Can't wait until we meet again...

Behind The Scenes:

I showed up all ready to go, or "Camera Ready" as people in the industry like to say--but with some "Outfit Options". As soon as I met with Jeannie and the producers, they were like "we love your ensemble...now let's make Jeannie match you". And HUUUNEY, she did!

She had a full-on table (photo above) filled with the most FAB jewelry and accessories (Note to self: I want a drawer in my closet just like that table!)...

As well as a rack full of clothing options (above photo) for her (OK, I also want a rack like that!). This is par for the course for stylists and Wardrobe/Costume Designers; even though the "talent" might be filming only one scene, it is de rigueur to have many, many options.

Jeannie ended up wearing a directional--and stylish-- high-low black chiffon dress with a fitted attached bustier top and a thin gold belt. Oh, yes--I almost forgot--and some AMAZING black bootie black-and-gold pumps. Miss Jeannie Mai could wear anything and look good! Next time, I might slip her stylist one of my NIKOLAKI cocktail dresses for Miss Jeannie to wear...for sure!

Nick Verreos on this week's Style Network's "Style Star: Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard"

Euro Style Muses...

Olé Penelope: Spanish Actress Penelope Cruz at Cannes 2009 in lilac off-the-shoulder Marchesa

This weekend, a new episode of "Style Star" aired on the Style Network and this week's Fashion Gals were Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard. As you may know, I'm one of the commentating Style Experts this season on this show and therefore I was so excited to giving my Latin-Greek Style Two Cents on these Latina and Euro style DIVAS!

Nick Verreos, Style Network's "Style Star" TV Show

Again, along with moi, I was joined by the likes of Melissa Magsaysay, style writer and editor of the LA Times Image Section--as well as some of "my boys", Marcellas Reynolds and former model and now stylist Warren Alfie Baker.

This episode is all about European actresss who KNOW their style, their designers, their Couture... and WORK IT! I have SOOOO many favorite looks for La Penelope that it's difficult to narrow them down but...

Academy Awards 2007: Penelope in Versace Atelier strapless blush pink gown has got to be up there! Seriously! She was one of my Top Picks on the Oscars 2007 Red Carpet for sure in that ball gown.

Of course, I also LOVED the strapless back-bow Oscar de la Renta turquoise blue gown she wore at the 2007 Queen Sofia Institute Gold Medal Gala where she was honored for promoting Hispanic Culture around the World.

And Miss Marion Cotillard: Huney, this Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Gown, which she wore at the 2008 Academy Awards was definitely one of my fave looks from her. Birth of Venus Botticelli much???? J'adore!

And then, of course, I also LOVED Marion in that blinding white sequined Elie Saab Haute Couture one-shoulder cocktail dress that she wore at the 16Th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Très belle!!

The Episode airs tonight at 10:30PM as well as 1:30AM.

Nick Verreos on Style Network's "Style Star: Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston"!

Girls Next Door: the Hollywood Red Carpet Version:

Nick Verreos Style Network "Style Star", discussing Reese Witherspoon

This Saturday was a brand new episode of Style Network's "Style Star", the weekly show which highlights the Style of celeb ladies. This entire season of "Style Star" features me--as well as other Style Experts-- such as "America's Next Top Model" photographer/judge/hottie Nigel Barker, my fashionista buddy Marcellas Reynolds, as well as Model Warren Alfie Baker and others (there are female commentators as well!!).

For this week's episode, we discussed Hollywood's "Girls Next Door": Actresses Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston. Of course, we talked about Reese and that canary yellow Nina Ricci strapless silk jacquard cocktail dress she wore at the 2007 Golden Globes:

As well as...

When she wore the Vintage Christian Dior 1950's organza-and-rose-colored-ribbon sequin gown the year she won her Oscar at the 2006 Academy Awards. Somehow--even in High Fashion, she still remained the "Girl Next Door"...just dressed up in $30,000 clothes!

And yes, we didn't forget Miss Jennifer Aniston...One of my favorite "Style Star" looks from her was this black one-shoulder Valentino gown which she wore last year at the 2010 Golden Globe Awards.

Nick & Renee: Nick Verreos on Style Network's "Style Star: Renee Zellweger and Anne Hathaway"

This Oscars Weekend (on Saturday night to be exact) a new "Style Star" episode of which I am one of the featured style experts--premiered on the Style Network. This time around, the Style DIVAS were actresses Renee Zellweger and Anne Hathaway--yes, Miss Anne, co-host of Sunday's 83rd Academy Awards!! (how timely!).

Polished to perfection, Renee and Anne have perfected their always-flawless fashion sense and dress to impress with clean lines and classic silhouettes. These two ladies know their fashion, are Sample Size perfect and well, have become muses for fashion designers and some fashionistas alike...

Of course, we discussed Renne Zellweger in this stunning Vintage Jean Dessès yellow silk chiffon strapless gown which really put her "On the Red Carpet Map" at the Oscars back in 2001 and also discussed...

Her "Muse" relationship with Venezuelan-born/American Designer Carolina Herrrera.

And then there's Miss Anne Hathaway. Ever since 2006's "The Devil Wears Prada", she has become THE Fashion Girl. Haute Couture should be her two middle names! Armani Prive? (above) Check. Versace Atelier? Check...

Marchesa? (above) Check. Valentino Haute Couture? Check. And, as we saw last night at the Oscars, she continued her tradition of being THE girl to Dress if you are a Fashion Designer: She changed a dress every 23.875 minutes. We love you Miss Anne!!!

*In case you missed the episode, it airs again Tuesday March 1st 8AM... *Click HERE for all other airing times and dates.

As well as that Louis Vuitton puffy dress, thigh-high boots ensemble she wore to the Met Ball 2009--curled-up "Rabbit Ear" hat and all...

But now, it's all about Eva and Victoria. I just ADORE both of their styles: they are strong, powerful, no-holds barred style Goddesses. Eva, with her petite fiery Latina looks, she shows you can be sexy and elegant at the same time. And then there's Miss Victoria: Seriously anyone who gets out of an 11-hour LA to London flight looking like this:

Is DEFINITELY going to join me in Elton John-Cher Gay Heaven!!! DIVA with a Capital "D"! This is how I wanna look every time I get off a plane! Go Miss Victoria...
