Oscars Style--Nick Verreos and Magan Henderson--KTLA 2018 "Live From The Oscars" Pre-Show Special

Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of being a "Special Guest" for KTLA's "Live From The Oscars" Pre-Show. The show began a couple of hours before the actual 2018 Academy Awards red carpet and I was honored to be a "FIDM Correspondent" discussing the fabulous Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition at my Alma Mater--the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and the college's FIDM Museum.

I was also part of a wonderful "90 Years of Oscars Style" showcasing gowns from my NIKOLAKI fashion line, inspired by the NINE decades in which the Academy Awards have been around. I will do a BLOG of the Behind-the-Scenes of filming those wonderful segments later...but for now, it's all about the Behind-the-Scenes of filming for the KTLA "LIVE from The Oscars" TV Special...

Here is my PHOTO RECAP--including a fun run-in with THE Common (!):

Credentials Day:

I've Arrived!--Nick Verreos on the plastic covered red carpet of the 2018 Oscars--Dolby Theater Hollywood

Several days before the actual Oscars, I went to get my credentials. This is also a PERFECT TIME for me to "sneak in" some photos on the red carpet...well, before the plastic is removed!

Once there, I ran into one of my FAVORITE TV Azteca-Mexico correspondents, the beautiful and very talented Antonella Michelena from the Info7 TV Show TV Azteca Noreste. I was so excited to see her since I had just filmed some TV segments at FIDM Museum with her, discussing the Academy Award-nominated costumes! I also spotted one of MY ALL TIME FAVORITE Supermodels, Brazilian Runway and Tom Ford/Gucci-editorial DIVA Caroline Ribeiro:

Nick Verreos with Brazilian Supermodel Caroline Ribeiro--I just about DIED, when I spotted Caroline Ribeiro on the red carpet, while I was taking photos. Naturally, I just couldn't let this moment go by without--politely--asking her if I could take a photo (OK, SEVERAL!) with her...as well as tell her how much I LOVED her! She couldn't have been sweeter.

We filmed LIVE from the Loews Hollywood Hotel and it was A BLAST to be with KTLA's Doug Kolk and Megan Henderson:

Once I was "wrapped"...I ran to the actual Academy Awards red carpet to film a fun Red Carpet TV Segment with my friend Raffi Boghosian and Dean McCarthy for The Insider Arabia and got the chance to take some photos:
