Nick Verreos--On the red carpet at The Actors Fund 20th Annual Tony Awards Viewing Party, The Beverly Hilton Beverly Hills

This past Sunday, I had the honor of attending The Actors Fund 20th Annual Tony Awards Viewing Party at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills along with my partner David Paul. Every year--for the last 20 years--The Actors Fund puts together a FABULOUS Black Tie Tony Awards Viewing Party. It has become the official West Coast viewing party for the Tony's. I have attended the event for many years and of course, this year I couldn't miss it!

The Actors Fund is a national human services organization that helps all professionals in the performing arts and entertainment, providing services for those who are in need, crisis or transition. My very good friend of over 30 years (Yikes!) Louie Anchondo is The Actors Fund's Director of Special Events and I love supporting him as well as the organization.

This year's party was wonderful--celebrating this year's Tony Awards as well as honoring three very special people including John Holly, actress Jomarie Ward and...

NICK APPEARANCES.....88th Annual Academy Award Red Carpet Reporting for Reuters TV: Photo Recap!

Red Carpet Recap: Nick Verreos at the Dolby Theater, reporting for Reuters TV on the Oscars Red Carpet--88th Annual Academy Awards

This past week, I was SUPER HONORED--and EXCITED--to find out that I would be at Sunday night's 88th Annual Academy Awards reporting on the 2016 Oscars Red Carpet for Reuters TV. Earlier in the week, I went to Hollywood to the Dolby Theater and Loews Hollywood Hotel, to get my Oscars 2016 press credentials.

Nick Verreos at the Dolby Theater--site of the 88th Annual Academy Awards

Naturally, afterwards, I had to make my way to the site of Sunday's iconic Oscars Red Carpet. The Academy Awards' "red carpet" is ON Hollywood Boulevard. Literally. The street is closed off and the front of the Hollywood & Highland/Dolby Theater complex has been "extended" to accommodate the grand entrance to the awards show. I got the chance to take some photos--Thanks to the FABULOUS and Oh-so-Wonderful George Pinnachio--Los Angeles ABC 7 Entertainment GURU--who happened to be there and offered to take these fun photos for me. #LoveHim

The Mess Before the Fab: Yep...that's the Academy Awards "red carpet"! Plastic covered red carpet, Dolby Theater Hollywood...

And on Sunday, the plastic is removed:

Vintage Chic: My NIKOLAKI partner David Paul lent me his Grandfather's pearl and gold Cuff Links and Studs to accessorize my tuxedo ensemble.

The Look: I wore a Versace printed tuxedo jacket and Marc Jacobs Collection Tuxedo Pants, as well as an Emernegildo Zegna Tuxedo Shirt . In case you are wondering, yes...I own it all; it's not borrowed Thank You very much.

Nick Verreos--2016 Academy Awards: I had the pleasure of reporting on the post-2016 Oscars Red Carpet and give my "Nick Two Cents" on the Best and Not-so-Good fashion that graced the Most Fabulous Awards Red Carpet Night of the Year EXCLUSIVELY for Reuters TV

NICK APPEARANCES....FIDM San Diego Open House January 2016--Photo Recap!

Open House Fun: Nick Verreos at the January 2016 FIDM San Diego Open House

This past weekend, I had the honor of making an "appearance" at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising/FIDM San Diego Campus, for their Open House. As the College's Official Spokesperson, I travel to all of the school's campuses from time to time, doing special visits and giving special lectures; this was one such occasion.

FIDM San Diego Nick: Nick Verreos, FIDM San Diego Open House January 2016

The FIDM Open House is a way for high school (as well as post-graduate) students thinking about going into the fashion industry to get a chance to meet Alumni, Instructors, Graduates, and check out the campuses of course. This is always one of my favorite parts of being a FIDM Spokesperson; I get to meet-and-greet all the people with the same "Passion For Fashion" that I have.

Here is my BLOG PHOTO RECAP of last Saturday's fun day:
