Nick TV Minute: Nick Verreos, Tabatha Coffey, Camille Grammer on TV Guide Golden Globes 2012 Fashion Wrap hosted by Ali Landry THIS MONDAY NIGHT!


We're BAAACK!!!


Nick Verreos and Tabatha Coffey, TV Guide Network Fashion Wrap

Hello Red Carpet Fashionista Followers! Guess what? Award Season is BACK and you know what that means: I AM BACK--on the TV Guide Network, giving my "Nick Fashion Two Cents" for all the upcoming award shows.

First up are the Golden Globe Awards--being held this Sunday, as we all know. I was invited back to join the TV Guide Fashion Wrap panel to discuss the Good and well, Not-So-Muchey Good, from Sunday night's show. In case you're not on the "up-and-up", TV Guide Network's "Award Show Fashion Wrap" will happen every Monday following the award shows this season...

Nick Verreos joins TV Guide 2012 Golden Globes Fashion Wrap--Monday January 16th

Joining me on the panel this coming Monday will be the ever-so-fab Miss Tabatha Coffey---my platinum blond sister from another mister, thank you very much! (LOVE HER!). While I discuss the Couture, Miss Tabatha will talk about who should have FIRED their hairstylist--or not! And as you know she NEVER minces words. I had such a BLAST last season doing the Fashion Wraps as well as covering the 83rd Academy Awards that I am beyond happy to be "re-united" with her.

Our 2012 Fashion Wrap Host is the beautiful actress and former Miss USA 1996 Ali Landry! Ali will star in the TV Guide Network's "Hollywood Girls Night" premiering Sunday, March 4. Ali and I go WAAAY back: she probably doesn't remember but...

Ali Landry in NIKOLAKI custom gown, during her Final Walk as "Miss USA 1996"

She wore one of my first NIKOLAKI gowns back in (wait for it!) 1997, during the LIVE telecast of Miss USA. She was Miss USA 1996 and wore my gown to give up her crown and do her "Final Walk" (photo above). The gown was SCANDALOUS--for then: it was a sheer stretch organza and we hand applied very, very expensive applique sequined lace pieces in the "important" spots. It was custom made for Miss Ali.

And guess who else will join us on Monday night? The one and only Camille Grammer of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills". So you know it's going to be fun kids! You better watch!!!

See who will make our Best and Worst Dressed (and the "Oh Huney, You Need To Fire Your Hairstylist") List?! Join us Monday Night to find out. Details below:

Nick Verreos TV Guide Academy Awards Fashion Wrap: My Photo Recap + Entire Video!!


My Picks for Oscars Red Carpet "Best" & "Not So Good"...Plus Daisy! Paulina! Tabatha!!!

On The Set: Nick Verreos, Tabatha Coffey, Paulina Porizkova and host Daisy Fuentes, "TV Guide 2011 Academy Awards Fashion Wrap"

The day after my big Oscars Red Carpet Coverage "Debut" --very early in the morning, I was on my way back to Hollywood & Highland and the TV Guide Network Studios to film my "TV Guide Network 2011 Academy Awards Fashion Wrap". No rest for the wicked I think the saying goes...

Girl Power: Nick Verreos, Tabatha Coffey, Paulina Porizkova and Daisy Fuentes, "TV Guide 2011 Academy Award Fashion Wrap"

I was going top be reunited with my "Atop the Red Carpet" partner-in-crime, Miss Paulina Porizkova, as well as Tabatha Coffey and our Hostess, la fabulosa Daisy Fuentes! Supposedly I was the only man on the panel, but...really I probably had more Estrogen than any of these incredible ladies! Daisy looked great in a lace-over-nude black puffy-sleeved fitted dress (looking tres sexy!) and Paulina decided to give a Le Smoking look--which included a Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo jacket.

Prom King and Queen: Nick Verreos and Tabatha Coffey, in Mon Atelier by Ali Rahimi

Tabatha also went the lace-and-nude route (a big TREND on Sunday's Academy awards Red Carpet) and decided to go UBER Glam with a halter-style gown by Mon Atelier's designer Ali Rahimi. We all had so much fun giving our DISHY "Fashion and Hair Two Cents" and even though it was our first time ever together, it was as if we had been doing this for years! Love the ladies!

In case you are interested, my Top Picks went to Cate Blanchett for being a Fashionista and Fashion Designer's Muse in her directional lilac-and-yellow sequin and silk plisse Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 2011 gown by Designer Riccardo Tisci. She was THE Oscars Warrior Goddess (to me) in that gown.

I also had to "give it up" to Jennifer Hudson. Yes, there were problems with the "sisters" and how high that Empire Line/Underbust seam was, but...the overall impact was INCREDIBLE. I think she WORKED it OUT in this Versace Atelier Spring 2008 coral/orange-red gown. It was an architectural statement par excellence. When she showed up, it seemed as if the "Red Carpet Seas" had parted! Now, to find out who I thought was "Not So Good", you must watch the video below...

I loved being part of the TV Guide Network 2011 Award Season and doing every "Fashion Wrap" post-show--as well as of course, doing the Academy Awards LIVE Countdown Red Carpet Show. Filming this "2011 Academy Award Fashion Wrap" was bittersweet since this was the last big awards show of the season, but, at the same time, it was a perfect cherry on the "Award Show cake"!

Oscars Red Carpet Gets A Dose of Nick...

Kids, I finally made it...well, made it to the Academy Awards: Just today, I found out that I have been invited to give my Fashion Expertise on Sunday's Biggest Red Carpet Night of The Year: The Academy Awards!

As you may already know, for the last several seasons, I have been part of TV Guide's "Red Carpet Fashion Wrap" giving my "Nick Two Cents" on what the stars wore the night before at all the major award shows. But now, I will be able to give my LIVE commentary as the stars come down the BIGGEST Catwalk in the world for TV Guide Network's "Academy Awards Red Carpet Show" hosted by Chris Harrison.

I will be joined by Tabatha Coffey of "Tabatha's Salon Takeover" and UBER Supermodel Paulina Porizkova! We will then re-group the following day with our hostess, the GORGEOUS Daisy Fuentes, to discuss "The Best" and "Not So Good" from what we saw on "TV Guide's Academy Awards Fashion Wrap" which will air Monday night!

I am so EXCITED!!!! Now, I have to go decide on a Very Important Male Fashion Dilemma: Bow tie or skinny black tie? It will all start at 5pm Eastern/2pm Pacific as we do a LIVE Academy Awards Red Carpet Countdown Show and then the madness will begin with with the LIVE Red Carpet at 6 Eastern/3pm Pacific.

On Monday morning, I had an early "Call Time" to shoot my "Grammy Awards Fashion Wrap" at the TV Guide Hollywood & Highland studios. I was revv'ed up and ready after watching the show the night before and--along with my "research partner"--doing all my "Grammys Fashion Homework". It also helped that I was doing a bit of my own "Live Blogging The Red Carpet" as well on Sunday night.

Our "Fashion Wrap" set was all done up with lovely flower arrangements with strategically placed musical instruments. Hello: It's the Grammys!

Flower & Fashion Extravaganza!
Violets Are Blooming: "Fashion Team" Host Lawrence Zarian, stylist Jen Rade and Fashion Designer Nick Verreos, TV Guide Network's "The Fashion Team"

Last week, we filmed the latest in this season's "The Fashion Team" TV Guide Network Show from Mark's Garden in Sherman Oaks, California. Usually, we film our episodes from various LA fashion boutiques, Couture Vintage Stores, or even a Hair Salon or two---However , just in time for Valentine's Day, we decided to shoot this episode from one of the premier Flower Design/Shops in Southern California.

A-List Flowers: The Front of "Mark's Garden", Sherman Oaks

Mark's Garden Flower Arrangement...waiting to be delivered

They have designed the flower arrangements for the past EIGHTEEN YEARS for the Academy Awards Governors Ball (I know this is SERIOUS Flower Extravaganza!) as well as Celebrity A-List Weddings like Fergie and Josh Duhamel, Ellen and Portia, Pink, Gwen Stefani and "My Girl" Heidi Klum!

Nick Verreos "Hearts" Mark's Garden, Sherman Oaks

The shop was all "abuzz" with flower orders galore and done up just in time for Valentine's Day. Notice the Window "Heart Display" behind me in the photo above. As soon as I arrived, I requested form the talented flower designers if they could create a little Boutonniere for me so I would wear it to the taping.

Fashion Prom Date: Nick Verreos and his "Mark's Garden" Boutonniere

I just thought "Heck, I'm in one of the Top Flower Stores in the Nation...maybe I should have one of their 'mini-designs' on my lapel!" Well, they quickly went to work and created an amazing creation: Love them!

The Episode Premiered Last Friday but you can still catch it TOMORROW, Wednesday Feb 16Th 1PM and Friday Feb 18 7PM.

Sielian's Vintage
DIVA is Sielian Lie herself! And here's the best part: She was one of my STUDENTS many years ago at the Fashion Institute of Design &Merchandising/FIDM! Yes, I taught her! Sielian had a passion for Vintage Couture and the short story is:

Instructor...FABULOUS Student: Nick Verreos and Sielian Lie at her store, Sielian's Vintage Apparel

She began selling what she had at the famous Fairfax High School Melrose Trading Post and A-List Celebs like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen began buying...and telling her that she should own a shop. After some time, her and her wonderful business partner husband eventually did, at this fabulous West Hollywood/Beverly Hills-adjacent location and well, the rest is LA Vintage Couture/Red Carpet Stylist History!

Jean-Louis Scherrer

Her store is Vintage Couture Heaven! Sielian has an amazing editing eye and shops from Paris to Pasadena--scouring the best in Vintage Fashion. While I was there , preparing to film my segment, I saw (amongst other things) a Jean-Louis Scherrer original, as well as...

A Valentino hounds-tooth black-and-white puffed-sleeved cropped jacket

A prized Thierry Mugler leather color-blocked jacket (I heard singer Rihanna might have been looking at this!)

Lots of Chanel necklaces (Gosh I wish I was a girl with money...or a Sugar Daddy!!!)

As well as Chanel and Hermes purses. All Vintage from the 80's, 90's and prior. And all ready for a DIVA--from Beverly Hills or Dubai...to do some "Vintage Retail Damage".
