The Hollywood Reporter recently released its annual list of the Top 25 Most Influential Stylists of 2018. This year, the top spots were taken by the talented women responsible for dressing Margot Robbie, Saoirse Ronan, Elle Fanning, and Gal Gadot. With Hollywood’s leading ladies always in the public eye, it’s no surprise that they rely on expert stylists to create their show-stopping looks. The magazine has recognized the hard work and creativity of these fashion gurus in its latest issue. In addition to revealing the top stylists, the publication also shared stunning images of them posing alongside their famous clients.
The Hollywood Reporter has recently released its rundown of the Top 25 Most Influential Stylists of 2018, featuring them along with their esteemed clients.
The trendy group has launched a variety of covers, which feature different personalities such as the stunning Gal Gadot, who is 32 years old, and her talented stylist named Elizabeth Stewart.
Impressive news: Stewart’s impact was recognized as she was ranked the fourth most influential, primarily due to her work styling Gal during the promotion of Wonder Woman.
Kate Young has once again been named as one of the most influential fashion stylists, having previously won the accolade in 2012 and 2016. Her list of clients includes a number of high-profile names such as Viola Davis, Jessica Chastain, and Margot Robbie, who has been making waves on the red carpet due to her Oscar-nominated performance in I, Tonya. The Hollywood Reporter praised Young’s work on Robbie’s outfits, which included a butterfly-print Versace dress, feathered Miu Miu number, and Chanel Haute Couture gown. Young explained that the looks were inspired by the ’90s supermodel era, with bright and minimal choices for hair, makeup and clothing. Other celebrities on Young’s roster include Dakota Johnson, Michelle Williams, Natalie Portman, Sienna Miller, and Selena Gomez.
Beautiful: Samantha McMillen and her client Elle Fanning have snagged yet another cover opportunity.
McMillen collaborates with Dakota, Elle’s elder sibling, within the family.
In a distant land, we have the talented hairstylist responsible for Daisy Ridley’s fabulous looks. At only 25 years old, Ridley became a household name thanks to her role in the iconic Star Wars movies.
In admiration, McMillen refers to her 19-year-old customer Elle as a “legendary being.” Elizabeth Saltzman takes second place in the rankings for 2018, with clients such as Gwyneth Paltrow, 45, Deepika Padukone, 32, and Saoirse Ronan, 23. The latter even posed with her for various glamorous photos in the magazine. “Fashion is a major industry that provides people with relief and an escape,” she noted. “Let’s allow it to be.” When dressing Saoirse for the Ladybird promotional tour, Saltman aimed for an “editorial” approach: it’s never simply about a pretty dress on display.
Saoirse Ronan, who is 23 years old, recently graced another cover alongside her stylist Elizabeth Saltzman. The two ladies looked stunning in pink outfits.
Big success: Saltzman achieved a notable accomplishment by securing the second position this year. Moreover, the talented stylist shared her experience of dressing the lead actress Saorise for the movie Lady Bird.
According to her, the fashion industry is a huge enterprise that provides people with an escape and some respite, so we should just allow it to flourish.
Samantha McMillen is a highly sought-after stylist who dresses both male and female stars. She boasts an impressive client list that includes A-list celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Deepika Padukone, Dakota Fanning, Daisy Ridley, Ashley Judd, Brie Larson, Josh Duhamel, Josh Brolin, and Mark Ruffalo. Despite her popular clientele, McMillen says that her most unique client is Dakota’s younger sister, Elle Fanning, who she lovingly refers to as a “mythical creature.” Elizabeth Stewart, Gal Gadot’s stylist, also made the list thanks to the success of Wonder Woman. In addition to styling Gadot, Stewart also works with Viola Davis, Cate Blanchett, and Jessica Chastain, the latter of whom earned a Golden Globe nomination this year for her work in Molly’s Game. Stewart notes that Gadot’s confidence makes fittings a breeze.
Highlight: Even though Ashley Weston didn’t manage to secure a spot in the Top 25, she still stood out and earned herself a unique opportunity to grace the cover alongside actor Chadwick Boseman.
Getting stylish: During his promo tour for Black Panther, she and Chadwick, who is 40 years old, have shown a great sense of fashion.
Fascinating: Chadwick’s wardrobe choices are anything but dull, as evidenced by his tendency to eschew simple black suits.
A stylist’s dream is someone who isn’t afraid to experiment with different fashion elements such as prints, patterns, fabrics, and embellishments. The top ten stylists in the industry include Julia von Boehm, Ilaria Urbinati, and Micaela Erlanger. Other notable names on the list are Karla Welch, who was last year’s number one for styling Tracee Ellis Ross, Justin Bieber, and more; Cristina Ehrlich who works with Greta Gerwig, Allison Williams, and Laura Dern; and dynamic duo Jill Lincoln and Jordan Johnson who dress Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Garner, and Kiernan Shipka.
The coveted title of “Top Dog” has been awarded to Kate Young for the third time, solidifying her position as the most influential in her field.
Wow, that’s impressive! Some of her top-notch clients include famous actresses Dakota Johnson, aged 28, and Selena Gomez, aged 25.
Always on the move! In addition, she has been working her fashion magic on the stunning Margot Robbie, who has graced the red carpet numerous times this year with the release of her movie, I, Tonya.
The latest edition features not only one, but two notable personalities – Yara Shahidi, an 18-year-old actress, and stylist Jason Bolden.
Hey, check this out! Ansel Elgort, who is only 24 years old, was recently seen in a photo posing with his stylist, John Tan. It’s not just the ladies who get to have fun with fashion, it looks like the dudes are getting in on the action too!
It is an esteemed privilege to be featured in the latest issue, which showcases the talents of several influential stylists who unfortunately didn’t make it to the Top 25 list. One of the highlights of this issue is Ashley Weston, who has the pleasure of working with the talented Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, aged 40. During the Black Panther press tour, Chadwick and Ashley made sure they didn’t go for standard black suits, instead opting for unique and standout ensembles. From animal print to plaid, Chadwick rocked everything with confidence and style. This issue also features exclusive photos of Ansel Elgort, aged 24, with stylist John Tan, as well as 18-year-old Yara Shahidi with her esteemed stylist Jason Bolden.
