Once upon a time, there were people who believed celebs looked so glam because they knew how to dress up oh-so-perfectly! Then, like a fairytale that turns out to be too good to be true, it is revealed that there’s a fairy godmother in their lives, who knows how to make them a belle of each ball – photoshoot or the runway.
Who exactly are we talking about? The stylists, of course!
They’re often the hidden faces behind celebs and fashion brands that you seldom see, yet it is they who you can thank for adding the oomph in your beloved icon’s looks.
So, who are the best in the game?
