Never mind the red-carpet staple question, \u201cWho are you wearing?\u201d If you admire a celebrity for their style, a better question is, \u201cWho\u2019s their stylist?\u201d<\/p>\n
\n The hidden heroes of Hollywood style, stylists are more than glorified personal shoppers – they\u2019re the architects behind the red-carpet outfits who play a pivotal
\n role in branding and image control of the celebs that wear their picks.\n <\/p>\n
Increasingly, fashion choices are being used as a storytelling tool, linking in with promotional tours and awards season campaigns. These are the stylists calling the shots.<\/p>\n

Who: This New York-based stylist cut her teeth working in fashion media (Vogue and T: The New York Times Style Magazine) and also has time at The Row listed on her CV. In 2024, the New York Times profiled her with an article titled \u201cQuietly Dressing Hollywood\u2019s Cool Girls\u201d. <\/p>\n
Signature style: Lauded for an ability to shape a rising star\u2019s look, Goldberg specialises in just-so-slightly off-kilter luxury looks – the type that balance understated glamour with playful It Girl touches. <\/p>\n
Associated brands: Loewe, The Row, Bottega Veneta, Versace.<\/p>\n
Clients: The Bear\u2019s Ayo Edebiri, who credits Goldberg with helping bonify her fashion credentials, reached out after appreciating the work she\u2019d done to help Past Lives\u2019 lead actor Greta Lee\u2019s fashion star ascend. <\/p>\n
She\u2019s previously worked with actor Laura Harrier and singer\/actor Olivia Rodrigo, and this awards season is dressing Sorry, Baby director Eva Victor and Hamnet star Jessie Buckley for their appearances.<\/p>\n

Biggest look: In October 2024, when re-entering the public eye after a screen hiatus, Saoirse Ronan enlisted Goldberg to help get her sartorially ready for the reintroduction. The resulting looks, especially her arrival at Jimmy Kimmel Live! in a blue JW Anderson mini dress, were chronicled in Vogue, under a headline espousing the Little Women star\u2019s \u201cstyle shift for the ages\u201d. <\/p>\n

Who: Entering the fashion field in 2009 as an intern at Marie Claire before going on to be an editor in residence at Who What Wear, Molly Dickson now styles a host of young celebrity clients alongside her own commercial projects. A few years ago, Dickson partnered with Madewell on a 12-piece denim capsule collection, with items influenced by her celebrity styling work.<\/p>\n
Signature style: Raised on a farm in North Dakota, there\u2019s a touch of the all-American in Dickson\u2019s approach to styling. She also has a soft spot for gothic romanticism, old Hollywood and bridal homages, and 90s archival looks.<\/p>\n
Clients: Sydney Sweeney, Camila Mendes, Lana del Rey, Ariana Greenblatt, Lauren Sanchez Bezos and Lucy Hale.<\/p>\n
Associated brands: Miu Miu, Valentino, Vera Wang, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Chanel.<\/p>\n
Biggest look: In December, for the premiere of her film The Housemaid, Dickson dressed Sweeney in a custom white halter dress by Galia Lahav. The Marilyn Monroe homage brought together a bunch of the stylist\u2019s influences: old Hollywood, bridal details and nostalgic romanticism. <\/p>\n
Elizabeth Stewart<\/p>\n
Who: Starting with a posting for Women\u2019s Wear Daily in Paris, Elizabeth Stewart worked as a fashion editor for the first decade of her career, including at The New York Times. A move to Los Angeles saw her transition into red carpet styling, starting by dressing Calista Flockhart for the Emmys.<\/p>\n
Signature style: Gowns. Beautiful, bling embellished gowns. Come awards season, red carpets are dominated by stars in Stewart\u2019s elegant choices. She styles women in suits particularly well, too. <\/p>\n

Last year, she also facilitated Amanda Seyfried wearing the exact Versace pieces Julia Roberts had donned earlier at the Cannes Film Festival. <\/p>\n

Karla Welch<\/p>\n
Who: Named one of the world\u2019s most powerful stylists by both The Hollywood Reporter and New York Times, Karla Welch doesn\u2019t shy away from the intersections of fashion and politics – she\u2019s the proud mother of a transgender son. A love of fashion is in her genes: her father owned a menswear store. <\/p>\n
Signature style: A proponent of discovering your own personal style, Welch helps clients embrace their individuality – she says it\u2019s her job to give them ownership of what they wear, telling Grazia, \u201cI don\u2019t want anybody to be like, \u2018Oh, that\u2019s a real Karla Welch look. I want it to be Sarah Paulson\u2019s look.\u201d <\/p>\n
Clients: Tessa Thompson, America Ferrera, Greta Gerwig, Olivia Wilde, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Sarah Paulson. This season, she\u2019s dressing Sentimental Value\u2019s Renate Reinsve. <\/p>\n
Associated brands: Marc Jacobs, Simone Rocha, Oscar de la Renta, Balenciaga, Erdem, The Row, and Louis Vuitton.<\/p>\n
Biggest look: One of her biggest looks, literally: in 2023, Welch named the voluminous Valentino Haute Couture gown Tracee Ellis Ross wore to the 2018 Emmys as a styling moment she\u2019s particularly proud of. She told Elle it was an example of red-carpet fashion\u2019s ability to \u201cshift the narrative of non-sample size, the value of older women … and shifting what volume looked like\u201c.<\/p>\n
Andrew Mukamal<\/p>\n
Who: Thrust into the limelight through his work dressing Margot Robbie in recreated archival looks for the Barbie press tour, Andrew Mukamal has spun that opportunity into his calling card, creating campaigns of fashion that incorporate fashionable nods to their characters on the red carpet of his client\u2019s projects. <\/p>\n

Associated brands: Dior, Schiaparelli, Chanel, Saint Laurent, Thierry Mugler, Jacquemus.<\/p>\n
Biggest look: When Margot Robbie arrived at a Bondi Beach photo call in a custom Herve Leger dress inspired by the swimsuit worn by the original 1959 Barbie doll, Mukamal\u2019s moment in the sun arrived too. <\/p>\n
Erin Walsh<\/p>\n
Who: On her Substack, Erin Walsh describes herself as a celebrity stylist and a fashion consultant, \u201ctrained in the art of using fashion to tell stories, translating emotions, vibes, hopes and dreams\u201d.<\/p>\n

Associated brands: Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Emilia Wickstead, Wiederhoeft, Michael Kors, Armani.<\/p>\n
Biggest look: Walsh\u2019s biggest booking of 2025 didn\u2019t walk the red carpet, but rather down the aisle. She styled Selena Gomez in three Ralph Lauren dresses for her wedding to Benny Blanco. <\/p>\n
Taylor McNeill<\/p>\n
Who: Previously the fashion editor of Let\u2019s Panic, and a fashion assistant at Vogue, this Parsons School of Design graduate is now one of Hollywood\u2019s most in-demand stylists.<\/p>\n
Signature style: Working at the intersection of fashion and culture, where streetwear and high-fashion meet, McNeill has been behind some of 2025\u2019s most viral menswear moments.<\/p>\n

Associated brands: Chanel, Saint Laurent, Prada, Tom Ford, Chrome Hearts, Haider Ackermann, Givenchy, Celine. <\/p>\n
Biggest look: After putting Chalamet in a butter-yellow leather suit by Givenchy at last year\u2019s Oscars, anticipation for what the pair will pick for the 2026 ceremony is palpable.<\/p>\n
However, the look that defined McNeill\u2019s 2025 came in February when styling Kendrick Lamar in those Celine boot-cut jeans for his Super Bowl halftime performance.<\/p>\n
Wayman & Micah<\/p>\n
Who: After pursuing separate careers in the business of fashion, tastemakers Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald joined creative forces in 2013. In 2020, Wayman and Micah were named among the Top 10 stylists of the decade by the Hollywood Reporter. <\/p>\n
Signature style: Bold colour and dramatic texture often feature in their totally glam looks. The duo are masters at styling choices that highlight clients\u2019 personalities on the red carpet. Celebrating a decade of their collaboration in 2024, the pair told the Hollywood Reporter, \u201cOur job and what we pride ourselves on is creatively making you your best self and bringing that forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clients: With the help of Kiwi makeup artist Amber Dreadon, the pair have been the glam squad readying One Battle After Another star Chase Infiniti for the spotlight.<\/p>\n
They also work with Teyana Taylor, Da\u2019Vine Joy Randolph, Jodie Turner Smith, Tessa Thompson, Alicia Silverstone, Regina King, Taraji P Henson, Tiffany Haddish and Colman Domingo.<\/p>\n

Felicity Kay<\/p>\n
Who: Transitioning from being the fashion editor at Elle UK to styling in America, this Brit is helping shape the images of an emerging set of stars.<\/p>\n
Signature style: Unbothered by traditional notions regarding gendered dressing, Kay has a streak of favouring immaculate tailoring with flirty features and irreverent aspects that are deliberately dishevelled.<\/p>\n
Clients: Six years after moving to the US, Kay has a growing rolodex of personality-first dressers: Paul Mescal, Kit Connor, Ncuti Gatwa, Hannah Dodd, Aimee Lou Wood and Alexander Skarsgard, to name a few.<\/p>\n
Associated brands: Gucci, Loewe, Armani.<\/p>\n
Biggest look: Perhaps that should be smallest look. Turning the internet\u2019s thirst for Paul Mescal in short shorts into a Gucci campaign. <\/p>\n
Leith Clark<\/p>\n

Who: This Canadian-born, London-based stylist, editor and fashion journalist is perhaps most associated with the role as the founder and editor of fashion magazine Lula. Since 2014, she\u2019s been the style director at large of Harper\u2019s Bazaar UK.<\/p>\n

Associated brands: Miu Miu, Chanel, Chloe, Erdem, Simone Rocha, Sandy Liang, Rodarte.<\/p>\n
Biggest look: When 2000s indiepop It Girl Lily Allen crashed back into the cultural zeitgeist with 2025 album West End Girl, her choice of outfits portrayed a story just as telling as the revealing lyrics. It was Clark\u2019s genius that orchestrated Allen dressing as a nun, but with fishnet tights and towering stilettos, for videos promoting the album.<\/p>\n
Warren Alfie Baker<\/p>\n
Who: British-born stylist taking over Tinseltown and collaborating with brands on his own lines of boots, accessories and menswear.<\/p>\n
Signature style: Known for louche tailoring and monochrome pulls, Baker\u2019s sense of style serves as \u201cthe blueprint for the modern actor\u201d, says the Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n
Clients: Baker\u2019s client list includes Andrew Garfield, Glen Powell, Matt Bomer, Finn Wolfhard, Patrick Dempsey, Andrew Scott, Jeremy Strong, Glenn Powell and Andrew Scott. This year, he\u2019s also working with Leonardo DiCaprio.<\/p>\n

Biggest look: Andrew Garfield was a chocolate-brown dream at last year\u2019s Oscars, in a warm Gucci suit, paired with a caramel silk shirt, and orange-lensed glasses. It was elegant, but not uptight, sumptuous but not overblown.<\/p>\n
Law Roach<\/p>\n

Who: No celebrity stylist list would be complete without mention of Law Roach, the self-titled image architect who has become a red-carpet mainstay in his own right. He joined Project Runway as a judge in 2025. <\/p>\n
Signature style: Vintage has been a throughline in Roach\u2019s career – he was selling clothes in Chicago when he caught the eye of Kanye West. Roach\u2019s lauded for an ability to turn his clients into fashion icons – often through bold choices, such as placing Euphoria actor Hunter Schafer in an Ann Demeulemeester bodice comprising a single white feather for Vanity Fair\u2019s Oscars after-party in 2023. <\/p>\n

Clients: His creative partnership with Zendaya made him a celebrity (she was the only client he kept when he \u201cretired\u201d in 2023), but Law also orchestrated Celine Dion\u2019s style renaissance in 2016. Back styling this year, Roach has been pulling a parade of jaw-dropping archival looks for Ariana Grande to wear on the promo trail for Wicked: For Good and is also working with Industry star Myha\u2019la.<\/p>\n
