Nick Verreos on new episode of Style Network's "Style Star: Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman"

Aussie Style!

Cate Blanchett

This past weekend--on Saturday night--a brand new episode of "Style Star" debuted on the Style Network. This week the stars were Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman...yes, the Theme was "Style Star: Aussie Style".

Nicole Kidman (with then-hubby Tom Cruise)

I was asked to be one of the Style Experts commentating on these fabulous ladies' style and so naturally, I gave my "Nick Two Cents"--along with Hair Guru Ken Paves, LA Times Fashion Editor Melissa Magsaysay and my good friend Marcellas Reynolds.

And personally, I had a BLAST commenting; I love these two fashion diva/muses. It's so easy to discuss the style evolution of women that are so "Style Inspirational"--to a Fashion Designer like myself--as Cate and Nicole.

On the episode, we discussed Miss Cate and that angelic blue chiffon Jean Paul Gaultier gown she wore to the 2005 Golden Globe Awards.

I loved the asymmetry of it, the weightlessness of it and of course, how Miss Cate carried it off--down to the last 1/4 inch of that train huney!

As well as...

The yellow silk taffeta Valentino (above) she wore to win her Best Actress Oscar at the 77Th Academy Awards in 2005.

Now of course, in terms of Nicole Kidman...
There was no denying that the Christian Dior Haute Couture chartreuse silk and mink "Chinoiserie" gown (above) from disgraced (and let-go) designer John Galliano that she wore at the 1997 Academy Awards was a DEFINITE "Nicole Kidman Style Star" moment!

And one of my favorite looks from her was also this lipstick-red Balenciaga sleek silk crepe bow-necked halter gown which she wore to the 2007 Academy Awards. Love. Love. Love.

To check out what else I--and all the other "Style Star" experts-- thought of Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman and their DIVA Aussie Style....

Olé Penelope: Spanish Actress Penelope Cruz at Cannes 2009 in lilac off-the-shoulder Marchesa

This weekend, a new episode of "Style Star" aired on the Style Network and this week's Fashion Gals were Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard. As you may know, I'm one of the commentating Style Experts this season on this show and therefore I was so excited to giving my Latin-Greek Style Two Cents on these Latina and Euro style DIVAS!

Again, along with moi, I was joined by the likes of Melissa Magsaysay, style writer and editor of the LA Times Image Section--as well as some of "my boys", Marcellas Reynolds and former model and now stylist Warren Alfie Baker.

This episode is all about European actresss who KNOW their style, their designers, their Couture... and WORK IT! I have SOOOO many favorite looks for La Penelope that it's difficult to narrow them down but...

Academy Awards 2007: Penelope in Versace Atelier strapless blush pink gown has got to be up there! Seriously! She was one of my Top Picks on the Oscars 2007 Red Carpet for sure in that ball gown.

Of course, I also LOVED the strapless back-bow Oscar de la Renta turquoise blue gown she wore at the 2007 Queen Sofia Institute Gold Medal Gala where she was honored for promoting Hispanic Culture around the World.

And Miss Marion Cotillard: Huney, this Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Gown, which she wore at the 2008 Academy Awards was definitely one of my fave looks from her. Birth of Venus Botticelli much???? J'adore!

And then, of course, I also LOVED Marion in that blinding white sequined Elie Saab Haute Couture one-shoulder cocktail dress that she wore at the 16Th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Très belle!!

The Episode airs tonight at 10:30PM as well as 1:30AM.

Ever since I saw Madonna do "Like A Virgin" in that wedding dress at the MTV Awards back in the day (yes, I was all but a little child...NOT!), I just about followed her every fashion move.
