Laura Bennett and Nick Verreos working the red carpet

"Let MSN's Style Studio hosts Laura Bennett and Nick Verreos teach viewers how to dress for their body type through the glamorous outfits seen on the red carpet."


"Join MSN's Style Studio hosts Laura Bennett and Nick Verreos as they hit the red carpet to find out what the celebrities pack in their pockets and purses."

We love when Nick says to Laura "make sure there's no Britney moment" as they get into the limousine.


And here's Lauren Zalaznick, President of Bravo, wearing Laura Bennett's finale dress.

Watch the videos here and here.

Read Nick's funny take on the Emmys, his jacket, Bangladeshi boys and girls, and Laura Bennett sewing on the plane here.

"The clients thought it would be a "cute" idea if we both designed--and wore--something that said "Dress Like You Mean It", our tag line on our MSN Style Studio segments. Laura and I debated and went back and forth on what we were going to do. Numerous emails, phone calls and scenarios were passed around, all in an effort to figure out how we were going to "carry this off" without, how shall I say this delicately, ending up on "The Worst Dressed List"."

YET ANOTHER UPDATE:
We never thought we'd see the day, but our gal was Fugged!

Project Runway at the 2007 Emmy Awards

Frigging Amazing Race. Give us a break. Well, they didn't win, but we have pics!


Heidi in vintage Dior. She wears red on the red carpet way too often. Granted, she looks good in the color, but then again, she looks good in almost any color. Mix it up, girl.

EDIT: We can swear we heard Heidi herself refer to it as "Vintage Dior" when asked, but it's being referred to as simply "Dior" or "Dior by Galliano" in the press today.

And her hair looks like shit.


Heidi is wearing diamond jewelry from her own collection.


Debra Messing wearing Ralph Lauren. Lorenzo hates this dress and thinks she looks like a wedding cake. Tom likes it for its graphic simplicity.


Laura in a dress of her own design, with Tim. Her hair and makeup look great.







Now, before we get into it, let's explain something. Laura was there doing red carpet reporting as part of her gig for MSN's Style Studio and designed a dress with the Style Studio tagline "Dress like you mean it."

She sent us pics of the dress a couple days ago and asked for our honest opinion, which we gave her and which we are now giving to you. We don't love this dress. Conceptually, we like it. She called it her "Carolina Herrera meets Stephen Sprouse" design and from that perspective, it kindasorta works, but we're just not fans of messages on clothing. We'll have more on the dress later when we get more pics and after we talk to Laura. We texted her right after Amazing Race won and she texted us right back from the Emmys, pissed.

Laura and Nick on the Red Carpet

MSN's Style Studio hosts Laura Bennett and Nick Verreos are getting the star treatment for Emmy week. They're taking a look at how celebrities prepare for the Emmys - from skin care to sunglasses to diamonds.


There's already one video up here. Check how Nick does the Gay Gasp at the price of the diamonds while Laura literally doesn't bat an eyelash (of course). There should be two more videos up on Monday morning as Nick and Laura take on the red carpet. You will have to see Laura's dress to believe it, trust us on that. Plus, there should be at least one other LB original on the red carpet that night, so keep your eyes peeled.

Good Luck Project Runway! Even if you don't win an Emmy, you'll always be winners to us!

Dress Like You Mean It!

MSN has a new feature on their site called Style Studio and kittens? It's fabulous (although that site is a little confusing).

Our girl Laura Bennett, our other girl Nick Verreos, makeup artist Troy Jensen, boutique owner Stefani Greenfield, and hair stylist Helena Faccenda (who was responsible for all of Heidi's looks on Project Runway) make up The Glam Squad and girls, they are here to make you more fierce than ever!

Every day, a new video is posted wherein one of the Glam Squadders offers up tips on fashion, trends, hair, makeup and more. There's also a message board where viewers can ask questions for the Squadders to answer.

Watch the introduction video here where Nick (to absolutely no one's surprise) informs us that when he was a little boy, he designed flight attendant uniforms or how Laura would go for a cupcake over a meal any day.


Then click on any video on the right and watch more videos of puffy-haired Laura (she's gonna kill us for that) talking about defining evening dress code or how to keep a party-ready stash of accessories. Killer shoes, as always, girl!


OR Nick telling us how to transform your wardrobe with just a few easy pieces or how to look red carpet ready. Take a drink every time he says "Fierce!"
