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.

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...)

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...

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. And by the way, I can't think of a better way to celebrate my 22nd Birthday y'all! (Shut Up! No Comments!), especially with "My Gals":

Tabatha Coffey of "Tabatha's Takes Over", Camille Grammer of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and our host, Ali Landry of TV Guide Network's "Hollywood Moms Night". 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:

Nick TV Minute: TV Guide Golden Globes Fashion Wrap 2012

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 :)
