This Monday, I filmed my TVGN 2013 Emmy Awards Fashion Wrap atop the TV Guide Network building on Hollywood and Highland with my FAB TVGN "Gal Pals", Tabatha Coffey of  "Tabatha Takes Over", Kyle Richards of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and hostess-with-the-mostest Ali Landry. We usually shoot our "Fashion Wraps" indoors in a studio but this time was special: we did it rooftop overlooking the iconic Hollywood sign in the Hollywood Hills.

It's Emmy Awards time and I am SO EXCITED to be back with "my girls", host Ali Landry, Tabatha Coffey and Kyle Richards, and be part of this year's Emmy Awards Fashion Wrap on TVGN! Fashion Wrap is where we discuss all the Good, Not-so-Good and Much Much More of the previous night's 2013 Emmy Awards Red Carpet. I'll be giving you all the "insider red carpet dish" including the designers, which collections, why the gowns worked (or did not) and giving you some "Instructor Nick" fashion education--all at the same time. So, DON'T MISS IT:

It's a (Academy Awards Fashion) Wrap!

Oscar Night!!


Here we are on the day of the Oscars right as we were about to go LIVE to do our TV Guide Network "2013 Academy Awards Red Carpet Show Hosted by Chris Harrison" Show.  I wore a Dolce & Gabbana black with tiny white polka-dotted silk satin tuxedo jacket I bought (Yes, BOUGHT Can you believe it!?), with my Zegna tuxedo shirt and Marc Jacobs Collection tuxedo pants. My NIKOLAKI design--and life--partner, David Paul styled me as he always does. Thank You David! For our filming position, we had a great location on the "balcony" position--or "Sky View" looking above the red carpet. We were right next to Kelly Osbourne and Ross Matthews of E! and various other Entertainment Shows--each of us had our own "box" on the balcony.

On The Red Carpet: (left to right) Marc Istook, Nick Verreos, Tabatha Coffey and Chris Harrison--Before we began our live coverage, we made sure to hit the red carpet for some photo-op's. Mainly, I wanted to make sure my "gal pal", Tabatha Coffey got a chance to have the photographers take red carpet pics of her in her Mark Zunino gown. I know if I was the designer of her gown, I would have wanted some red carpet photos of her in my gown...at the Oscars! So, we made sure to get those....and then we RAN up to our balcony to get mic'ed and ready for our LIVE "close-up"!

The Day Before (The Oscars):


As you may know a little awards show occurred on Sunday--yes, the Academy Awards. I was honored to be part of the TV Guide Network 2013 Academy Awards Red Carpet Live Show Hosted by Chris Harrison once again this year as the Red Carpet Fashion Correspondent--along with "Hair Diva" Tabatha Coffey of Bravo's Tabatha Takes Over and Marc Istook, who was our Sky-view/Balcony "Main Man". We had a BLAST and I have to say, it was one of the most exciting Academy Awards Red Carpet show EVER!

I will have a PHOTO RECAP of Sunday after this blog post here...but first, it's time for the Pre-Oscars Rehearsal Blog Photo Gallery. On Saturday, we all had to do a Run-Thru and Rehearsal of how the show would go on Sunday. And before, during, and after, I got some photos of the day:

This SUNDAY:


Time for the Oscars! So excited to be back again on TV Guide Network and their Academy Awards LIVE Red Carpet Coverage giving my "Nick Fashion Two Cents!"...

Grammys Fashion Wrap

As always, I was joined by my lovely co-panelists, the wonderful Tabatha Coffey of "Tabatha Takes Over","Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards and our beautiful host, Ali Landry.

Red Carpet Dishin'


This past Monday was the debut of TV Guide Network's Awards Show Fashion Wrap--THE TV source for post-award show red carpet dishing. I was invited back to join the panel (I think it's my FIFTH YEAR!!), and I was joined by hair DIVA, the one and only Miss Tabatha Coffey, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards and our gorgeous host, actress and TV personality Ali Landry. I was extra excited because Ali wore one of my NIKOLAKI gowns--from my Spring 2013 Collection (co-designed by David Paul, of course!)...

We're BAACK!!!

Emmy Awards Fab:


Sunday night was the 64th Annual Emmy Awards. So, naturally, this meant one thing: the Emmy Awards TV Guide Network Fashion Wrap time! I was so excited to be back for another TV Guide Network Fashion Wrap with the GORGEOUS Hostess with the Mostess, actress Ali Landry .


Also joining the TV Guide Network Emmy Awards Fashion Wrap family was my "Sister from another Mister", Tabatha Coffey of "Tabatha Takes Over" and Kyle Richards from Bravo's hit reality show "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" (and wife of that HOT & HUNKY Mauricio Umansky). We had a BLAST doing the Emmys 2012 Red Carpet Fashion Recap!


I wore my ASOS vanilla "dinner jacket" with black shawl collar lapel, ASOS shiny tuxedo pants, skinny black tie, TopMan pink dress shirt and Brooks Brothers pink-and-white pocket scarf.


Miss Tabatha Coffey wore a laser-cut leather Alexander McQueen jacket with a high collar and peplum that fit her like a GLOVE--along with a black tank and legging...


She finished it all off (FABULOUSLY!) with a pair of laser-cut patent leather Christian Louboutin UBER heels. Ali wore one of my latest NIKOLAKI silk chiffon printed "Spartan Princess" gowns:


The gown features over 15 yards of Italian silk, is fitted at the waist and has an "Armour" panel in the front and full strapless bustier, full gathered skirt and side slit. The print features a lot of the colors that well, were a HIT on the EMMYS 2012 Red Carpet (naturally!).


Of course, I think she looked AMAZING and oh so beautiful!

Yes! It is that time of year again! Time for the 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards and guess who is back to discuss all the Hits and Misses on the Red Carpet....


and of course....Moi!

It's a 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...
Thank you for another FABULOUS TV Guide Network Award Season!!!! xoxo Click Below for the Entire Academy Awards Fashion Wrap Episode:

Academy Awards Balcony Viewing:
Last night as we all know (unless you have been living under a rock!) was the Academy Awards! Not only is it the "Super Bowl" of Film...but also for FASHION!!! I was honored and humbled to be asked back to join the TV Guide Network Academy Awards Coverage Team and be the "Fashion Guy" and give my immediate and LIVE "Nick Two Cents" beginning in the Countdown Show as well as the Red Carpet LIVE show Hosted by Chris Harrison.
I was on the "Bridge" about 20 feet above the Academy Awards Red Carpet in the formerly-known-as-the-Kodak Theater with Tabatha Coffey--my Fashion Wrap Sistah!--as well as Maria Sansone. Maria was our "ringleader" and she was absolutely FABULOUS!! Loved her and her gold sequined gown! Speaking of gowns, of course, Miss Tabatha looked stunning in her black silk taffeta strapless Mermaid-shape ensemble. LOVED those pockets Miss Tabatha!! We were positioned next to ABC Local Oscars Coverage Team (with former Supermodel Roshumba Williams!) and Access Hollywood. Also up in the Balcony were EXTRA, Entertainment Tonight, and CNN Showbiz Tonight, among others.
We had a PERFECT position atop the red carpet looking down at the entire "show". We were LIVE when Sacha Baron Cohen (as "The Dictator") dumped the "ashes" Ryan Seacrest, as well as having a bird's eye view when all the stars arrived, one after another. I can't even describe the excitement of being there--and especially being right ABOVE them!!! We filmed our Countdown and Live Red Carpet Show and before we could pronounce "Haute Couture"...it was OVER! Well, our filming was, but not our Red Carpet oogling!! Tabatha Fierce: It was cold up there on our balcony location and soon Miss Tabatha Coffey got her fur mini-cape on! She looked fabulous and chic--and kept herself warm as well! How you say "You Go Girl!" in Australian slang???

After we wrapped our TV Guide Network Countdown and LIVE Red Carpet filming--and the Oscars Red Carpet was done--I made my way to our "holding area" and guess who I ran into...
