0 Nick TV Minute: Nick Verreos, Tabatha Coffey, Camille Grammer on TV Guide 84th Annual Academy Awards Fashion Wrap hosted by Ali Landry 8PM TONIGHT!


The Superbowl of ALL Fashion Wraps!!


Fashion Wrap FAB: Tabatha Coffey, Nick Verreos and Camille Grammer and Ali Landry: TV Guide Network 2012 Academy Awards Fashion Wrap set

After an absolutely AMAZING Night reporting LIVE about the Fashion from the 84th Annual Academy Awards, we were up and at it again today! No rest for the weary as we had work to do! It was time for our Academy Awards Fashion Wrap and after we had digested all the delicious Gowns from last night, it was time to give our opinions on our HITS and MISSES from the Superbowl of all Awards Shows!

So who did we LOVE and who did we think missed the mark?! Here is a little Teaser to get y'all ready!



Tune in TONIGHT to find out! Check out all the details below:

WHAT: TV GUIDE 2012 Academy Awards Fashion Wrap

WHEN: TONIGHT, February 27, 2012

TIME: premiere airing at 8 p.m. ET/PT, 7 p.m. Central--Click HERE for all the times.

WHERE: TV GUIDE Network, check your local TV/Cable Listings

** It will also repeat at 10:30pm and again on Tuesday Morning at 10am!!

0 Red Carpet Report: 2012 Vanity Fair Oscar Party: Part One!


It's Party Time!!


Lily Collins in Monique Lhuillier: Not your typical ballgown and definitely A LOT of dress for an Oscar Party, but somehow it works on Lily and definitely creates a "brand" for her big movie set to premiere.

Kate Hudson in Atelier Versace: Great color and a fun dress, but somehow Kate makes it look too casual, like she is heading to a beach party. I think it is the hair that kills it for me.

Julie Bowen in Halston: She seems to always make odd dress choices and this is no exception.

Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad: JLo, of course, had to do an outfit change and continued her "Bombshell" look with a 2nd Zuhair Murad Gown. It's a beautiful color, but not quite as strong a look as what she wore at the Oscars. Maybe she would have done best to switch it up a bit.

Venus and Serena Williams in Christiane King: Christiane is a fellow Project Runway Alum so kudos to her for dresses the sisters, but unfortunately I'm not a big fan of either dress. They look a bit "Happy Hands at Home".

Elizabeth Banks in Chadwick Bell: It's quite a dress and although most will hate it, there is something about the whole look that I actually like. It is unusual and she makes it work. She seems to be a big fan of Polka Dots!

Claire Danes in Valentino: While I love Valentino and love a bright color on the Red Carpet, this entire look is a bit much for me. The color with that very "prom-like" silhouette just is not working.

Cameron Diaz in Victoria Beckham: I wish she would have worn this color to the Oscars! While this might not have been dressy enough for the Academy Awards, if she had picked a custom gown by Calvin Klein in one of these bright neon colors, she would have been one of my best dressed. So glad she changed for the party!

Amy Adams in Vivienne Westwood: Amy usually never goes this sexpot route so this is quite a departure for her. I love the dress, I just don't think it is quite right for her.

Let me know what you think!!

0 84th Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Emma Stone in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring 2012

Emma Stone in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring 2012: As I watched from my "bridge" location atop the Academy Awards Red Carpet while filming my TV Guide Network Academy Awards LIVE Red Carpet Show---I saw Miss Emma in this magenta-red gown--I actually really liked this!!! The high-tie-neck blouson and flared gown skirt gown was very chic. It was classic, elegant, chic and the color stood out! Good job Emma!!!

What did you guys think?

0 84th Annual Academy Awards: Glenn Close in Zac Posen

Glenn Close in Zac Posen Fall 2012: Fresh off the New York Fashion Week Fall 2012 Runway, Glenn Close wore this Zac Posen Forest Green Gown with Pleated Train and Beading. Close decided to add a matching tuxedo jacket to the ensemble, and that is where I think the outfit took a misstep.

The dress is nice enough (although I think the color is not great for Glenn)--and her hair and makeup always look great--but I would have love to see her try something a bit more outside her comfort zone. This is Mother Of The Bride--in a Multimillionaire's Wedding!! Your thoughts??? Please let me know by leaving comments below!!!

0 84th Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji

Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji: Octavia has been wearing the brand--and Fashion Designer--Tadashi Shoji--for most of the entire 2012 Awards Season Red Carpet--and good for her!!! She said a while back that when she was doing the Press Junket for her film "The Help" not many designers were willing to help her out (she didn't ask me!!!). Except one that was: Tadashi Shoji. Therefore she became very loyal to him.

And yes, all those other designers and brands that "rejected" her before tried to woo her with gowns, dresses and designs, but she was like "You Snooze...you lose huney!". She is one of my Best Dressed in this all-over beaded gown. It was PERFECTION!!!! As my peeps say: YOU GO GIRL!!!!


Oh yes, I would be remiss not to mention her hairstyle--LOVE that side-swepted "Star Bun"! Oscars Fab!!! What do you guys think???

0 84th Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Cameron Diaz in Gucci Premiere

Cameron Diaz in Gucci Premiere: Gucci Premiere, in case you were wondering, is the "Haute Couture" from the Italian House of Gucci. They don't normally do Custom or Haute Couture but if you're an A-List starlet--or Cameron Diaz...no problem! I have to admit that I was not so excited with this gown. It just did not have enough of that Oscars Impact that it should have had. I would have LOVED to have seen her in a Dior Haute Couture Ball Gown from Bill Gaytten's Spring 2012 Collection--so for me, this strapless silk crepe fit-and-flare gown was a bit of a Miss. What do you guys think?

0 84th Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad


Mija!!!!


Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad: Jennifer Lopez was one of the last to arrive on the Academy Awards Red Carpet and she made an entrance huney! She GAVE it to you!!! She wore a silver and golden metallic and silk organza gown by Lebanese Fashion Designer (who shows in Paris) Zuhair Murad. It featured a PLUNGING neckline and horizontal and diagonal panels that enveloped her figure perfectly.

Her make-up and hair were perfect! LOVE me that "Star Bun" of hers! Oh, and yes, those diamond drop earrings: GORGEOUS!

And yes, the back was just as Star-Fab! Leave it to Miss J Lo! What did you guys think? I personally think, it was one of the Best of the Red carpet--from head to the tip of that "Star Bun" of hers!

0 84th Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Meryl Streep in Custom Lanvin

Meryl Streep in Custom Lanvin: I was hoping Meryl would choose a gown that had a softer and more drape-y feel to it. I even sketched a dress similar to this as a suggestion of what I would like to see her wear.

I think Meryl has never looked better in this Gold Lame Lanvin Gown. It has all the qualities that you would want to see in a gown for Meryl. It is elegant and gives that feeling of Hollywood Royalty, yet looks relaxed and comfortable.

Kudos to Meryl and her Stylist Zoe Buck!!

0 84th Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Rooney Mara in Givenchy Haute Couture

Rooney Mara in Givenchy Haute Couture Spring 2009: Rooney Mara wore a Givenchy Haute Couture Gown that seems to be inspired by this dress from Riccardo Tisci's Spring 2009 Collection.

Rooney was easily one of the most anticipated Fashion Moments for the Oscars and many were expecting her to wear another Black Dress. I was hoping and praying for a Bright Color, but she did neither and instead chose this angelic white gown.

She looked beautiful as she always does, and although I would have liked to have seen a bit more drama either with color or beading, I am just thankful she chose not to wear black!!!

Let me know your thoughts!

0 84th Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Stacy Keibler in Marchesa Fall 2012

Stacy Keibler in Marchesa Fall 2012: Stacy Keibler looked dazzling in this gorgeous Gold Lame Marchesa Gown from their recent Fall 2012 collection. When I saw this dress on the runway I instantly thought of Halle Berry, but it works equally well on Stacy.

This dress was destined for an appearance at the Oscars as it is pure Old Hollywood Glam and I'm so glad Stacy made it look so great.

Thoughts?

0 84th Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen Resort 2012

Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen Resort 2012: Jessica Chastain looked like a Medieval Princess in this slightly modified Gown from Alexander McQueen's Resort 2012 Collection.

The collection is now designed by Sarah Burton and I love the way she added even more drama by continuing the embroidery down the skirt.

In these close ups you can see the stunning beading and embroidery work and how beautiful it looks against Jessica's Red hair.

Let me know what you think?!!

0 84th Annual Academy Awards: Who Wore What? Berenice Bejo in Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring 2012

Berenice Bejo in Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring 2012: It is no surprise that we are seeing a lot of Elie Saab at the Oscars tonight. Saab not only makes amazing gowns but his Spring 2012 Collection was one of his best and almost seemed custom made for the Academy Awards.

Berenice looks beautiful in this Mint Green beaded chiffon gown. I prefer her hair to be a bit darker, but overall she looks fantastic.

Tell me what you think?!
