You know it's a golden Sunday when all kinds of red carpet fashion OMG! moments were involved in my bedroom: Read the Golden Globes fashion-frenzy tweets,  here & tweet me. Let's discuss!

Nick Verreos on new episode of Style Network's "Style Star: Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman"


Aussie Style!

Cate Blanchett

This past weekend--on Saturday night--a brand new episode of "Style Star" debuted on the Style Network. This week the stars were Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman...yes, the Theme was "Style Star: Aussie Style".

Nicole Kidman (with then-hubby Tom Cruise)

I was asked to be one of the Style Experts commentating on these fabulous ladies' style and so naturally, I gave my "Nick Two Cents"--along with Hair Guru Ken Paves, LA Times Fashion Editor Melissa Magsaysay and my good friend Marcellas Reynolds.

And personally, I had a BLAST commenting; I love these two fashion diva/muses. It's so easy to discuss the style evolution of women that are so "Style Inspirational"--to a Fashion Designer like myself--as Cate and Nicole.

Nick Verreos on Style Network's "Style Star: Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman--Aussie Style"

On the episode, we discussed Miss Cate and that angelic blue chiffon Jean Paul Gaultier gown she wore to the 2005 Golden Globe Awards.

I loved the asymmetry of it, the weightlessness of it and of course, how Miss Cate carried it off--down to the last 1/4 inch of that train huney!

As well as...

The yellow silk taffeta Valentino (above) she wore to win her Best Actress Oscar at the 77Th Academy Awards in 2005.

Now of course, in terms of Nicole Kidman...
There was no denying that the Christian Dior Haute Couture chartreuse silk and mink "Chinoiserie" gown (above) from disgraced (and let-go) designer John Galliano that she wore at the 1997 Academy Awards was a DEFINITE "Nicole Kidman Style Star" moment!

And one of my favorite looks from her was also this lipstick-red Balenciaga sleek silk crepe bow-necked halter gown which she wore to the 2007 Academy Awards. Love. Love. Love.

To check out what else I--and all the other "Style Star" experts-- thought of Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman and their DIVA Aussie Style....

83rd Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Nicole Kidman in Christian Dior Couture Spring 2009

Tune in to TV Guide's Academy Awards Fashion Wrap tomorrow at 8pm est/pt to see what I thought!!!

53rd Annual Grammy Awards: Who Wore What? Nicole Kidman in Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2011

Nicole Kidman in Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2011

Nicole Kidman walked the 2011 Grammy Awards Red Carpet--hubby Keith Urban in tow--wearing a Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2011 strapless tulle and embroidered applique gown. This gown was from Gaultier's just-debuted Couture Collection which was inspired by "Punk Can Can". It's Gaultier, he's allowed to be "inspired" by ANYTHING, kids! But the funny thing is: I get it on the runway (it's a $50,000+ Couture Hand-made Gown after all!!) but somehow on Nicole Kidman, on the Red Carpet--and next to Keith--she looks a little "Country Music Singer Performing at the Grand Ole Opry". Her hair looks GORGEOUS though; soft and very pretty, love the color. I also liked her softened make-up as well.
What do you guys think? Do we Like "Country Music Nicole"?

17th Annual SAG Awards: Who Wore What? Nicole Kidman in Nina Ricci Pre-Fall 2011

Nicole Kidman in Nina Ricci Pre-Fall 2011

Nicole Kidman arrives at the 2011 SAG Awards in Nina Ricci Pre-Fall 2011 by former Louis Vuitton Designer Peter Copping. It's a black mini-raglan sleeved gown with lace back and shoulder insets. She is on-trend with the sleeved gown and fit-to-flare shape but, I have to say that I've seen better from La Kidman. This might end up on a lot of people's "Oh No She Didn't Lists".

This gown choice could have been fine at the Berlin Film Festival Awards--or something like that--but here in the States at such a high-profile red carpet: Maybe not so much. Please let me know your Two cents: Likey or No Likey?

68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Fashion: Who Wore What? Nicole Kidman in Custom Prada

Custom seems to be the "new" Couture. It's no longer fine to wear the runway sample on a Made-to-measure Haute Couture Gown from the French and Italian Fashion Houses.. No kids, seems that actresses and their stylists now turn to non-Haute Couture Houses (Calvin Klein, Prada, etc.) and get their gowns custom made.

In other words, you won't find this style in any Look Book. Also, a lot of these design companies, of course, are offering custom designs to these A-List clients GRATIS, in exchange for the press and that Red Carpet Moment. And so we have Exhibit A: Statuesque actress Nicole Kidman in ivory all-over sequin paillette one-shoulder Custom Prada gown. Prada doesn't do gowns. But for Nicole: Si!

2010 Golden Globes Red Carpet fashion: Who Wore What? Nicole Kidman

Statuesque Australian actress Nicole Kidman wore a nude-colored silk charmeuse gown from the House of Nina Ricci by Peter Copping. Copping replaced Olivier Theyskens after he was unceremoniously "let go" by Puig, his bosses.

Copping is a former assistant to Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton and this is his first collection. The gown is VERY 1930's with its cowl neckline and bias-cut and reminds me of a gown from a TCM movie from the 1930's that an actress such as Claudette Colbert would wear. It also looks like a gown I would design; in other words: Love it! I would have just removed a few of those side bows...for sure.
