Behind the Curtain of Celebrity Stylists ๐Ÿ‘ก๐Ÿ‘›

With the fashion cycle turning faster and faster, consumers want new and innovative clothes, and they want them now. Designers are only able to work so fast when putting out collections and celebrities and social media is left to shape the fashion world. 

But what the general public doesn't know is that these outfits arenโ€™t, for the most part, casually thrown on by these fashionable celebs. Instead there is extensive planning by their stylists who are tirelessly working behind the scenes to make their clients look flawless for every small event, from a coffee date with their industry plant significant other or a press tour for their blockbuster new film. 

The stylists' instagrams is also where the truth really comes out, because one really begins to see how a simple instagram post look is really a 10 step process that features a styled outfit. Stylists are proof that the life of a celebrity is not what it seems. 

So really, it's the stylists, not the celebrities, that now control the fashion world. So let's break down some of the stylists behind the biggest celebrities, and let them have their moment to shine. 

The Hadid Sisters and Ariana Grande: Mimi Cuttrell https://www.instagram.com/mimicuttrell/?hl=en 

Each of the Hadids, Gigi and Bella, and Ariana Grande have very different styles. But they all have the same common denominator: sticking to the trends, with their own spin. An example for each of these ladies would be: Gigi, trendy with a twist of mom chic, Bella, trendy with an extra sprinkle of setting the trends and Ariana, trendy with a classy twist. 

Cutrell is one of the top stylists in the game, she also styles Normani and Ava Max, among others. 

Hailey Beiber: Maeve Reiley https://www.instagram.com/stylememaeve/?hl=en 

Maeve is one of the trendiest styles out there. Hailey Beiber absolutely is the epitome of that model off duty look and that is thanks to Maeve. Maeve Reiley doesnโ€™t shy away from having a core style, you can tell when a look is #styledbymaeve. Reiley also styles Megan Fox and the two biggest sisters of tik tok: Charli and Dixie D'amelio, so she has made a strong name for herself in this field. 

Zendaya: Law Roach https://www.instagram.com/luxurylaw/?hl=en 

ZENDAYA'S OUTFITS NEVER MISS. And that is all thanks to the incredible Law Roach. Roach isnโ€™t afraid of bringing the edge to a look, and that is what makes his styling so successful. Law loves a sparkle, an interesting shape and a bit of class. Roach also styles celebrities such as Anya Taylor Joy, Priyanka Chopka and Kerry Washington so he knows his way around some of the biggest celebrities out there. 

Olivia Rodrigo: Chole and Chenelle https://www.instagram.com/chloeandchenelle/?hl=en  

On the up and up, I think Rodrigo is a name to watch in music, movies and fashion. Her schoolgirl chic aesthetic has already started to make waves. Chloe and Chenelle styled SOUR prom and some other of Olivia's instagrams and shoots. This styling duo also styles WILLOW, so they are making their fashion mark on some of the youngest and biggest names in music. 

Harry Styles: Harry Lambert https://www.instagram.com/harry_lambert/?hl=en 

What would be an article discussing celebrity fashion without touching on Harry Styles. Lambert focuses on interesting and eye-catching looks for men. He styled Harryโ€™s looks at the Grammys, his iconic Vogue cover and many of his music videos. Lambert is making a name for himself in mens styling, and it is very, VERY iconic.

Stylists control the trend cycles, almost as much as Tik Tok does, and itโ€™s time they get the credit they deserve.
