The 10 Best Celebrity Stylists And The Outfits We're Still Swooning Over

Entire social media accounts exist specifically to praise or punish celebs for their style, be it on the red carpet or at the grocery store. But do we truly have Audrey Hepburn to thank for the little black dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s that sparked a global style trend? No. The credit for this much discussed, (fashion) world-changing moment is not Ms. Hepburn’s alone. Indeed, the praise for this – and other similar moments in style history – lies in the hands of some of Hollywood’s most unsung heroes: celebrity stylists. 

One suggestion from these glamor gurus can make or break a celebrity's image, and, while many stars’ style is nearly as controversial as a certain upcoming election, there are certain celebrities whose “look” is celebrated almost universally. Audrey Hepburn, Kate Middleton, and a host of other famous figures have found the secret to sartorial success – hiring the best stylist they can find. Dreaming of a day when you might be able to order up a fit-for-a-princess wardrobe refresh for yourself? While you wait, check out our list of the 10 best celebrity stylists for inspiration… 

Edith Head

A name like Edith might give you serious little old lady vibes, but back in the Old Hollywood heyday, Edith Head was the it girl for creating iconic fashion moments for some of classic cinema’s greatest stars. Not only did Ms. Head dream up Audrey Hepburn’s most enduring look – the aforementioned Breakfast at Tiffany’s opening scene gown and jewels – but she also curated the Hollywood star’s wardrobe for other fashionable films such as Roman Holiday, Sabrina, and Funny Face. Add in her design prowess in To Catch a Thief, and you have a truly unforgettable, influential stylist indeed. (She won a total of eight Academy Awards for wardrobe design.)

Edith Head had a knack for choosing outfits that were not only on the cutting edge of fashion but also flattering to her star’s unique body type, adorning their best assets and avoiding their flaws. Additionally, Head was a magician at pairing stars with up-and-coming designers whose custom pieces sent their style soaring to new heights – she is best credited as the catalyst for Audrey Hepburn and Hubert de Givenchy’s lifelong partnership. 

Natasha Archer-Jackson

Everyone needs a Natasha in their life – especially the Princess of Wales. Once Kate Middleton’s personal assistant, Natasha Archer-Jackson was elevated to the role of personal stylist in 2014. Now, as a “senior private executive assistant,” she is practically part of the royal family. A style icon from the start, Kate has always been revered for her classy, feminine, and downright royal-looking outfits – and, for that, she has Natasha to thank!

Natasha Archer-Jackson has a special talent for selecting pieces that are both timeless and on-trend, allowing the duchess to maintain a classic look in the midst of the 21st century. (And can we talk about the hats?) It’s not every day you can say you work for royalty, but one glimpse at Ms. Archer-Jackson’s work for the Royal Family reveals that her outfits really are fit for a princess.

Elizabeth Sulcer

Best known for her work styling outfits for both Gigi and Bella Hadid as well as the infamous Kim K, Elizabeth Sulcer has worked for Netflix and Louis Vuitton and has been featured in publications from Harper’s Bazaar to Vogue. A former apprentice of Alexander McQueen, Sulcer is known for designing outfits that are frothy, fanciful, and ultra-feminine – the stuff of any girly girl’s dreams.

Emphasizing clients’ natural beauty through loose silhouettes, uniquely flattering necklines, and simple yet striking solid color palettes, Sulcer keeps it classy and sassy all at once. Defined by overt glamor and a healthy dose of glitter and glitz, her wardrobe creations make us all wonder if “quiet luxury” was ever really that good of an idea after all. 

Dani Michelle

Hailey Beiber, Kate Upton, and the Kardashians? All in a day’s work for Dani Michelle. Not only has she done plenty of work for the likes of Kylie, Kendall, and Kourtney, but she’s also styled for television shows like The Voice and advertising campaigns for Too Faced, Guess, and Uniqlo. Talk about a resume!

With a focus on figure-flattering styles that are simple and sleek and a belief in the enduring power of the little black dress, Dani Michelle creates looks that fit flawlessly into the world of 21st-century fashion while still remaining remarkably timeless. Certainly not understated, outfits compiled by Michelle are yet never so outrageous as to overshadow the beauty of those wearing them. Even when playing with menswear, Dani Michelle keeps things elegant, glamorous, and oh-so-feminine with classic touches in unexpected places…and, more often than not, something from Tiffany’s.

Andrew Mukamal

He’s styled for Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, and Barbie? Andrew Mukamal is Hollywood’s Jack-of-all-trades and a master of them all. His ability to match women with styles that not only reflect their femininity but also represent the specific projects they’re working on is unparalleled. Joining forces with Margot Robbie for Barbie: The World Tour, Mr. Mukamal personally collaborated with a host of history’s most beloved fashion houses to create an entire (human-sized) wardrobe of some of the fashion doll’s most celebrated looks over the past half-century.

As you might imagine, then, Andrew Mukamal’s celebrity styles are classic and cutting-edge all at once. However, they also feature an unusual dose of whimsy that makes the outfits look as perfect for their celebrity recipients as they would for a classic fashion doll. Rather than catering to a specific “type,” Mr. Mukamal’s work celebrates a variety of body shapes and sizes, proving that anyone can be an icon with the right dress and shoes.

Jennifer Mazur

Jennifer Mazur is a bit of a star in her own right. She’s worked for such celebrities as Julianne Hough, Olivia Culpo, and Sofia Richie Grainge, and her assistance in giving women tools to express themselves through their personal style is vital in today’s world of carbon-copy chic. Through her styling expertise, Ms. Mazur offers insight into how clients might uniquely combine pieces both classic and quirky to create their own signature style. Donning everything from glimmering gowns to frilly tuxedos, Jennifer Mazur’s clients look both playful and polished, ready for any formal occasion.

However, it is Ms. Mazur’s emphasis on self-expression that sets her apart from the rest. Clients don’t hire Mazur to style them for an event – they hire her to style their lives. Jennifer Mazur’s holistic approach to fashion and style pays off in a big way, as her styles effortlessly express her clients' personalities and make them red carpet ready, helping them communicate their brand before they even open their mouth. Because, as we all know, fashions speak louder than words.

Danielle Goldberg

If you’re looking for the ultimate quiet luxury look, then look no further than Danielle Goldberg, whose styles for Olivia Rodrigo and Greta Lee are lauded for their enrapturing restraint. Although clearly a modern-day fixture, Goldberg could have just as easily thrived dressing celebrities from bygone days of Old Hollywood elegance. Rather than focusing on the outrageous, she zeroes in on the minutiae, perfecting her clients’ clothes with a series of tweaks to help them fit flawlessly. Her mantra? Clothes that are the perfect fit are far more memorable than those that shock or entertain.

Of course, no stylist’s work is complete without a dash of sass. That is why Goldberg’s outfits often feature fragments of the extraordinary, often in the form of unique textures – leather, feathers, and even tinsel – in addition to more classic textiles. It’s the perfect old-money-meets new aesthetic, and it interacts beautifully with her clients’ own personal style to give the watching world a flash of the unexpected.

Leslie Fremar 

Styling campaigns for Dior and Givenchy and such stars as Simone Biles and Reese Witherspoon, Leslie Fremar has certainly made her rounds in the fashion industry. Did we mention that she got her start working for Vogue? Fremar’s styles for her clients are chic and spunky, featuring luxurious, ethically sourced pieces and, of course, the ever-obligatory sparkle.

Leslie Fremar certainly considers the whole person when designing an outfit for them. Exhibit A: Simone Biles’s gymnastics leotard-inspired look for the Met Gala that features silver sparkles, over-the-top jewels, and a competition-ready, slicked-back bun. 

Even Fremar’s more mature clients are always ready to stun, thanks to her conservative-meets-cutting-edge style choices that harmonize to help women hit all the right notes, no matter their age.

Erin Walsh

Who has Anne Hathaway, Timothée Chalamet, and Selena Gomez knocking on her door? Erin Walsh, that’s who! (She is also one of The Hollywood Reporter’s top 25 most influential stylists for 2024.) Walsh’s approach to design is bold and unapologetic, focusing on over-the-top features that somehow – as if by magic – don’t overshadow her clients’ natural beauty. 

Designing outfits for countless celebrities and corporations alike, Walsh is as comfortable with a veritable mine of Swarovski crystals as she is with yards and yards of stonewashed denim, making her the perfect stylist for both red carpet events and celebrity streetwear. Often utilizing all-black or bold monochromatic color schemes, Walsh is a genius at picking the perfect silhouettes for her clients – ones that do not overshadow but, instead, enhance simpler color schemes. With a vast celebrity roster, Erin Walsh shows versatility through the ability to design outfits that flatter her client’s unique skin tones, body types, and personal style preferences. Only one question remains: Can I get an Erin Walsh in my life?! 

Rebecca Corbin-Murray

If you’ve ever drooled over a luxury fashion ad, then you’ve probably experienced Rebecca Corbin-Murray’s prowess for yourself. She’s styled campaigns for a host of big-name labels, from Tom Ford to Jimmy Choo, but her collection of (largely United Kingdom-based) clients is equally impressive. Curating images for Lily James and Florence Pugh, she is no stranger to the style spotlight – and her designs can definitely handle the attention.

Rebecca Corbin-Murray’s clients each have a fashion sense all their own, yet every one of their looks is quintessentially classic. That’s because Murray’s designs put an old-fashioned spin on new trends, or make old classics new all over again. With menswear-inspired accents, an affinity for tweeds and sturdy fabrics, and – of course – a healthy dose of sparkle (she did partner with Swarovski, after all), Rebecca Corbin-Murray’s styles are as suited to the Hollywood red carpet as they are a vintage country club terrace.
