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"!



























Here are some shots of the Stars on the 2013 Academy Awards Red Carpet from my "Sky View" TV Guide Network balcony position:




Kelly and Jamie: Jamie Foxx with his daughter, being interviewed for the ABC Pre-Show by Kelly Rowland, in her Donna Karan Atelier black and white strapless gown (yes, the one I was going to tweet about the day before when I saw her during Rehearsals, but wisely decided not to).















As we all now know she was supposed to wear Valentino (Valentino's PR people even Tweeted that she was wearing their gown! Ooopsie!) but decided to change her mind right before when someone told her that her "Les Miserables" co-star Amanda Seyfried's Alexander McQueen gown might look "too similar" to hers. I think she should have stuck to her original Valentino.








Halle Berry with Robin Roberts of ABC's "Good Morning America"--Halle, who was MY FAVORITE Best Dressed Woman of the night in that Custom Atelier Versace sequined "Dynasty" gown had just gotten there and she immediately went to Robin, they hugged, exchanged niceties, and did a brief interview. I was so excited looking down from my spot seeing this all happen.




Soon-to-be Academy Award Winner for Best Actress, Jennifer Lawrence--in her Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2013 strapless ball gown. This gown, on the red carpet, was MAJAH! But...she didn't vibe "Diva", more like a European Princess. It was BEAUTIFUL and perfect to win an Oscar in.




Crutch Girl: Kristen Stewart in her crutches. I guess she had just cut her foot (?) and she stumbled through the entire length of the red carpet and had someone take her crutches when she had to stop and pose for photos. She looked a MESS. Her hair was a mess, her makeup looked a mess and she didn't do that gown any justice. Even from my balcony position, she looked so "bothered" to be there. I'm sure she was in pain and felt awkward with the crutches but then, HUNEY, it's the OSCARS!! Buck it up!




Wolgang Puck and the Oscars Cake and menu being displayed on the red carpet--he spent what seemed like an HOUR walking through the entire red carpet showing the food and doing interviews. I hope no one ate that food afterward because it must have begun to decompose for sure!




What an Oscars Blast! (left to right) Nick Verreos, Tabatha Coffey and Marc Istook--TV Guide Network "2013 Academy Awards Live Red Carpet Show Hosted by Chris Harrison". I had so much fun with my "Balcony Buddies". Thanks for making it a GREAT night for me!



Until Next Year!!! Happy Awards Season!!!

SAG FAB!










Crashing Sub: I have no idea HOW they did this but it should get an award for something! FX must have A TON of Marketing/Promo money because this must have cost them a pretty penny for sure. Oh, and on top of everything, later in the day, about 20 pasty Russian-looking sailors and Navy Officers (actors, I presume)--in full retro uniforms--surrounded the submarine as well well as got on top of it, shouting orders in Russian! Anyhow, it was a sight for my very tired early-morning I-have-to-shoot-a-TV-show puffy eyes, for sure!

Now, back to the Fashion Wrap:









I had so much fun--as usual--filming the TV Guide Network 2013 Screen Actors Guild Fashion Wrap. Ali, once again, wore one of my NIKOLAKI by Nick Verreos/David Paul gowns to host the program. And yes, she looked BEAUTIFUL:



































Black and Blue--and Crystal-y: (left to right) Tabatha Coffey--in a razor-sharp tailored and flared Alexander McQueen (of course!) coat with the most AMAZING shoulders--and her crystal-encrusted Christian Louboutin pumps (Hello!). I can't LIVE without my Tabatha, seriously. I want to put her in my pocket and take her out any time I'm feeling cheeky, bitchy or just wanting to just have a good strong laugh.









TV Guide Network 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards Fashion Wrap TV Show--So be sure to try and catch the show, in case you missed the debut this past Monday night--TV Guide Network repeats it a lot--which is GREAT (times and dates below)--and especially don't miss my "I Don't Agree With You Tabatha MOMENTS". Yes, plural. Love her--and the rest of my TV Guide Fashion Wrap gal pals! Apologies to the beautiful Kyle for pushing her so much off-camera. Her very toned shoulders/arms must be bruised by now! And Thank you again Miss Ali, for wearing one of my designs xoxo

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!)...
