Nick TV Minute: "TV Guide Network 2012 Academy Awards Fashion Wrap" --The Blog Recap!

It's a Wrap!

Style Sisters: Tabatha Coffey and Nick Verreos, on the set of TV Guide Network's 2012 Academy Awards Fashion Wrap

This past Monday--the day after the 2012 Academy Awards--I filmed my last TV Guide Network "Fashion Wrap" for Award Season 2012--the TV Guide Network 2012 Academy Awards Fashion Wrap!

I had barely come down from my "style high" of being LIVE the day before as the Fashion Correspondent for the TV Guide Network Countdown and Red Carpet Shows. I had an amazing time giving my immediate fashion "two cents", along with Tabatha Coffey just 15 feet above the actual red carpet right there at the Hollywood & Highland Center.

Tabatha McQueen: Tabatha Coffey in her Alexander McQueen leather jacket and skirt ensemble, TV Guide Network 2012 Academy Awards Fashion Wrap

But now it was time to reunite with Miss Tabatha--who was giving "Dominatrix Couture" on her Alexander McQueen leather peplum'ed jacket and pencil skirt ensemble. I kid you not, that when she changed into her filming look--I stood in front of her and counted all those seams and looked all up in there--checking out that fabulously fitting McQueen jacket. She loves her McQueen (and yes, from what I hear, it's all bought kids, no borrowing...)

The Wrap Team: (Left to right) Tabatha Coffey, Nick Verreos, Camille Grammer and host Ali Landry, on the set of TV Guide Network's 2012 Academy Awards Fashion Wrap

Naturally, Tabatha and I were joined by our "Fashion Wrap" partner-in-style crime, Camille Grammer of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" as well as our host, actress Ali Landry--whom had just worn my NIKOLAKI gown the night before (LOVE her!!). We had a great shoot and it all went really smoothly! In case you missed it, my "Top Best Dressed Girl" was Gwyneth Paltrow in that ivory Tom Ford cape/one-shoulder gown ensemble and my "Not-So-Best Dressed Girl" was actress Melissa Leo (bless her heart!).

I had an incredible 2012 Award Season doing coverage and commentating for TV Guide Network one more year (it's like my FIFTH Season!!) and especially, a FAB "Fashion Wrap" time with Tabatha, Camille and Ali. But who I will especially miss is the crew...

Nick TV Minute: TV Guide Network's Academy Awards Countdown and Red Carpet Shows--My Blog Recap with Photos!!

Academy Awards Balcony Viewing:

Nick Verreos, TV Guide Network Countdown and Red Carpet Show, Hollywood & Highland Center, Academy Awards 2012

Last night as we all know (unless you have been living under a rock!) was the Academy Awards! Not only is it the "Super Bowl" of Film...but also for FASHION!!! I was honored and humbled to be asked back to join the TV Guide Network Academy Awards Coverage Team and be the "Fashion Guy" and give my immediate and LIVE "Nick Two Cents" beginning in the Countdown Show as well as the Red Carpet LIVE show Hosted by Chris Harrison.

Fearsome Threesome: Tabatha Coffey, Nick Verreos and Maria Sansone, TV Guide Network Academy Award Countdown and Red Carpet Show

I was on the "Bridge" about 20 feet above the Academy Awards Red Carpet in the formerly-known-as-the-Kodak Theater with Tabatha Coffey--my Fashion Wrap Sistah!--as well as Maria Sansone. Maria was our "ringleader" and she was absolutely FABULOUS!! Loved her and her gold sequined gown! Speaking of gowns, of course, Miss Tabatha looked stunning in her black silk taffeta strapless Mermaid-shape ensemble. LOVED those pockets Miss Tabatha!! We were positioned next to ABC Local Oscars Coverage Team (with former Supermodel Roshumba Williams!) and Access Hollywood. Also up in the Balcony were EXTRA, Entertainment Tonight, and CNN Showbiz Tonight, among others.

84th Annual Academy Awards Red Carpet--View from the "Bridge"

We had a PERFECT position atop the red carpet looking down at the entire "show". We were LIVE when Sacha Baron Cohen (as "The Dictator") dumped the "ashes" Ryan Seacrest, as well as having a bird's eye view when all the stars arrived, one after another. I can't even describe the excitement of being there--and especially being right ABOVE them!!! We filmed our Countdown and Live Red Carpet Show and before we could pronounce "Haute Couture"...it was OVER! Well, our filming was, but not our Red Carpet oogling!!

Tabatha Fierce: It was cold up there on our balcony location and soon Miss Tabatha Coffey got her fur mini-cape on! She looked fabulous and chic--and kept herself warm as well! How you say "You Go Girl!" in Australian slang???

Meryl Gold: If you look closely--and focus your eyes--you can see Meryl Streep in there--in her Custom Lanvin by Alber Elbaz draped gold lame gown--as she makes her way toward the theater, finishing her red carpet moment...

Gwenyth Column: Actress Gwyneth Paltrow--one of my Best Dressed of the Night in that Tom Ford silk crepe gown and floor-length cape--poses (with her publicist Stephen Huvane standing by)

Jennifer and Tim: A close-up (from my Balcony Location above the Red Carpet) of Jennifer Lopez--in her plunging, and semi-controversial, Zuhair Murad gown--being interviewed by my former project Runway Mentor, the one-and-only Tim Gunn

Penelope Meet Tim: I even captured a good shot of Spanish actress Penelope Cruz--in an Armani Prive gunmetal gray silk organza ball gown--also being interviewed by Tim Gunn

After we wrapped our TV Guide Network Countdown and LIVE Red Carpet filming--and the Oscars Red Carpet was done--I made my way to our "holding area" and guess who I ran into...

Say OSCAR: Project Runway Season 8 Finalist and Project Runway All Star Contestant Mondo Guerra, my former TV Guide Fashion Wrap host Lawrence Zarian , and Nick Verreos

I had a FABULOUS day doing the Fashion Commentary with my Gals up in the Balcony for TV Guide Network--Tabatha Coffey and Maria Sansone (and Carly Steel and Ali Landry up in the TV Guide "Penthouse")--as well as the Boys: Marc Istook and our Host Chris Harrison. It was yet another very memorable Oscars Sunday for me! Thank you to TV Guide Network and Thank you to EVERYONE who worked on the shows!! Y'all are INCREDIBLE!!! Oh and of course, Thank You to the viewers!! Hope you guys had as much fun watching us as we had getting all the Red Carpet DISH out for you!!

This past Monday--as you may remember--was MY BIRTHDAY (Yeayyy!!!) and I celebrated by going to the FAB Hollywood & Highland TV Guide Studios and shooting my TV Guide 2012 Grammy Awards Fashion Wrap.

PS and Note To Self: I needs me a show!!! All my gals have one!!! Anyhow, the TV Guide Network team surprised me at the end of our shoot with a little "somethin'-somethin' "...

A big ol' cupcake (OMG!! It was DELISHHHH!!), and after a "Happy Birthday Song", I made a wish, blew out the candles and done and done, as they say! Now, I know I always have to highlight what Miss Tabatha is wearing (fabulous Louboutin heels and McQueen! McQueen! McQueen!--bought, NOT borrowed huney!). I felt it was due time to highlight Camille's fashion look:

Last week, we shot our TV Guide Network 2012 SAG Awards Fashion Wrap--where we dissected the fashion, hair and overall style of the red carpet for the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The panel included Miss Tabatha Coffey of Bravo's hit show "Tabatha Takes Over", Camille Grammer of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and our host, the beautiful Ali Landry of TV Guide's "Hollywood Girls Night".

The set was decorated with gorgeous fresh roses and pink/lilac lighting--very "Virgin America Mood Lighting"--which I LOVE (photo above). As usual, we had a BLAST!!! My Australian Sister From Another Mother, Tabatha--wore a chic black ensemble, including a fiercely tailored Alexander McQueen peplum'ed jacket.

McQueen'ed: Tabatha Coffey in her Alexander McQueen jacket, TV Guide's 2012 SAG Awards Fashion Wrap set

YOU KNOW I inspected that jacket and trust me kids, there were like 50 pattern pieces to it! It was stunning! Oh, and of course, Miss Coffey didn't skimp on her shoes: they were these incredible Christian Louboutin's: ivory and black applique satin-and-sequin stacked pumps that I WISHED--for the Love of Elton John and Lady Gaga God--that he would make for men! Because I would wear them!!!!

Tabatha Coffey's Christian Louboutin pumps

I can't wait until we re-unite for next weekend's 2012 Grammy Awards and our TV Guide 2012 Grammy Awards Fashion Wrap!!! It will be on my BIRTHDAY, next Monday, February 13th!!! And if you missed our 2012 SAG Awards Fashion Wrap...here it is:

It's a FABULOUS...Fashion Wrap!

TV Guide's 2012 Golden Globes Fashion Wrap Panel: (Left to Right) Tabatha Coffey, Nick Verreos, Camille Grammer, and host Ali Landry

This Monday--after maybe 4 hours of sleep (I returned home around 1 a.m. from doing my special 11 o'clock news "Hits & Misses" fashion segment for NBC-LA News after the awards show)--I was up bright and early, as they say, to mosey on over to the Hollywood & Highland Complex and the TV Guide Network Studios to film my "2012 Golden Globes Fashion Wrap".

I. LOVE. Doing. The TV Guide Fashion Wrap Shows. There are no two ways about it. Love it. So, I put on my new TopMan "tuxedo" suit, lilac dress shirt, and blue-green skinny tie I bought over the Holidays, and got in "Fashion DISHING" mode.

Vintage NIKOLAKI: Nick Verreos Fashion Illustration of Ali Landry in NIKOLAKI gown, circa 1997

After arriving, I was so excited to re-unite with host Ali Landry--whom I created a gown for when she gave up her Miss USA title back in 1997. And yes, I had not seen her since then (Lordy! PS: I was like 19....NOT!). But of course, I was especially happy to be with Tabatha Coffey and the ever-so-fab Camille Grammer, of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills".

Sitting Pretty: Nick Verreos Toasts to TV Guide's 2012 Golden Globes Fashion Wrap

After having a faux toast of Apple Cider (it was 10 a.m. kids!!), we got right to work and fashion dishing! Ali was FAB! Tabatha was Fab! She wore a black Alexander McQueen silk crepe cowl-front gown (yes...the black version of the "Pippa Dress"! Bought, NOT borrowed THANK YOU very much!). And yes, Miss Camille was also Fab! This was my first time meeting--and working with Camille and can I just tell you: she was soooo sweet, GORGEOUS, and a total Gay Man's Bestie! Oh, and it didn't hurt that she was wearing a dress that matched my tie! It was by Lanvin Paris BTW...her dress, that is, as well as her FIERCE pumps!

Prom Date Photo: Nick Verreos and Camille Grammer, TV Guide Network's 2012 Golden Globes Fashion Wrap

The entire time we were joking about how we looked like a "Prom Date Photo" with our unintentionally matching ensembles, so... we had to get a semi-Prom Photo, as seen above. Camille is my new OBSESSION! LUUUUUUV her! I really had so much fun with all the ladies on Monday. Oh and I hope you liked our Best" and "Not So Best" Picks :)
