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.

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"!

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 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.

Flower & Fashion Extravaganza!

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.

Last week, I shot my "What's The Fashion?" segment for TV Guide Network's "The Fashion Team" weekly TV Show at one of the most incredible Vintage Couture Boutiques in all of LA: Sielian's Vintage Apparel. Sielian's Boutique is truly a GEM of a store! Located on Melrose Avenue, near Doheny, it is THE Go-To place for all the top stylists in Hollywood--from Rachel Zoe to my lovely--and very stylist TV Guide Fashion Team "girlfriend", Jen Rade.

Sequined Fantasy: Costume Designer and Stylist Jen Rade holds up one of the many Vintage Gems from Sielian's Vintage Apparel Boutique

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".

Window Couture: Sielian's Vintage Apparel Boutique, Melrose Avenue West Hollywood

The shop is located on 9013 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood and it is A MUST for any lover of Vintage Couture! Thank you Sielian--and your wonderful husband--for having us in your FABULOUS Boutique! And thank you for enrolling in my class years ago at FIDM and being a straight-A student!

SAG Awards-FABULOUS...

Fashion Wrap Couch Mates: (L to R) Nick Verreos, Jen Rade, Kim Vo, Kara Birkenstock, Lawrence Zarian

Well kids, Monday--less than 24 hours after it happened--I was invited to join the "illustrious" panel of experts for our TV Guide SAG Awards Fashion Wrap, where we rate the Best, Worst Dressed, the hair, the make up, the shoes...you get the picture. No SAG Awards "Red Carpet Stone" is left unturned.

Once again, joining in on the fun was our Host, TV Guide Fashion Guy, Lawrence Zarian--who was actually working ON THE RED CARPET the night before--plus Hair Color DIVA Kim Vo, Shoe Expert, the very leg-o-licious Kara Birkenstock and last but not least, my next-to-me seatmate, the lovely UBER stylist Jen Rade. Jen was wearing head-to-toe H&M and looked FABUOLOUS: Her double zero (I'm jealous!) body looked amazing in those off-white palazzo's and tucked-in blouse.

The set, once again, was modern and fresh, including this divine black leather couch (from HD Buttercup, one of my favorite furniture stores in LA) and I especially loved the table above with that GORGEOUS Orchid bouquet display!

Sitting Pretty: Nick Verreos on the TV Guide Fashion Wrap set, TV Guide Network Studios
