Celebrity fashion and their stunning red carpet looks never fail to become the talk of the town and the celebs' sartorial choices often leave us stunned. While we praise the celebs for their unique looks, it is the fashion stylist, who is the mastermind behind these outfits. These stylists provide the celebs with a wide range of outfits to choose from and then conceptualise their overall look. However, for a long time, people have been perplexed by the role of a stylist and often get confused between a fashion stylist and fashion designer.
The stylists utilise their fashion sense and come up with out-of-the-box outfit ideas for their clients. While some of them could have studied design, others possibly possess design talents in order to make a fashion statement worth the while. With that said, it is the quirkiness and larger-than-life abilities of the stylist, which make them popular and successful. As celebrities lead an extravagant lifestyle, they hire some of the world’s greatest fashion stylists to amp up their look. However, have you ever wondered who are these stylists behind the celeb's unique look or how much money do they make? If yes, let's have a look at the list below:
