In the three decades since red carpets have become synonymous with Hollywood couture, celebrity stylists have outpaced fashion editors, models, moguls and, more recently, content creators as the true arbiters of the town's taste. No one else has the number of media impressions that top Hollywood stylists do, with many of them pulling in millions of followers. Of course, Beyoncé, Rihanna and Taylor Swift have 500 million-plus Instagram fans each, but much of the engagement is driven by what their stylists are putting on their backs.
That's why, as this year winds down, THR reached out to the many pros who've now achieved fame in their own right for dressing the most visible personages in the world. What did we learn? The newish Parisian design duo behind Matières Fécales — Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran — have captured stylists' hearts the most, while Matthieu Blazy's Chanel, Jonathan Anderson's Dior and Anthony Vaccarello's Saint Laurent also number among Hollywood's favorite designers. Feathers still are flying on red carpet fits for all genders. The sheer look continues to show off, but cutouts and two-piece looks are taking over the body-part wars. Lace, lingerie and leather are now completely red carpet-worthy. Slinky close fits and strong tailoring are forever. And so, apparently, is fashion's idolization of Zendaya. We could have easily included three or more of her looks, but to keep the list varied and fun, we chose only one top fit per actor or actress. The methodology behind the list included tabulating the top 10 looks chosen by 50-plus stylists, prioritizing by the number of votes each look received, and then, to break ties, bringing in rankings. The result: a realistic look at coming trends and which designers and designs rank the highest for Hollywood, by the world's top tastemakers.

When did we lose the art of enjoyment? These days, the average person loves a think piece—specifically, having their own and putting it out there for the world to see. It stems from this new access we have on the internet to each other. On ****** es like TikTok, Instagram, and X and Threads, we can reach beyond our narrow circles into the phones of literally anyone else. Out of this environment, we've normalized an even more extreme parasocial nature between celebrities, influencers, and each other. The new internet landscape involves users ****** yzing and critiquing anyone who chooses to try or put themselves out there, serving as amateur publicists, stylists, and brand-image architects. There's an element of this new world order that's thrilling—our opinions matter! But...what's that phrase about opinions again?
I'd argue that we've critiqued ourselves into mass hysteria, conflating personal opinion with expertise. Just because someone has something to say doesn't mean they actually know what they're saying. There once was a time when people took the time to learn, gain experience, and work in a specific field so they're equipped to handle certain industries. But now, everyone simply thinks they know enough about everything. And it's making fashion and entertainment commentary less fun for everyone involved.
Over the last few weeks, with Fashion Month, the Emmys, and the VMAs, we were inundated with sartorial opinions on the internet. Top of mind for me was Shailene Woodley's Emmys look.

You can always rely on Fashion Month to churn out the trends, not just for apparel, but for hair, too. Over the last few weeks, the runway has given us sculptural frizz, combover-esque bangs, creative crimping, and countless other looks that make you wonder whether all of the lead hairstylists have colluded to make your morning routine a little more difficult. But behold: the trend we didn't see coming… back. In the ultimate model-off-duty moment, Gigi Hadid was seen wearing a humble zig-zag headband—the quintessential late-'90s and early-2000s hair accessory.
After walking in Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2027 show on October 4, Hadid was spotted leaving the venue with her long, blonde hair pushed back by a tortoiseshell scalloped headband. Also known as a shark-tooth or comb headband (depending on who you ask, where they grew up, and how old they are), the style has those unmistakable wavy teeth that grip the hair while keeping the face free of any stray tendrils.
Hadid wore it with an otherwise wonderfully uncomplicated look: a loose, white **** on-down left open over a white bra, jeans cinched with a brown leather belt, and white mesh ballet flats decorated with tiny floral embroidery. She carried a brown Miu Miu bag, making the whole thing feel less like a carefully engineered Paris Fashion Week outfit and more like someone running errands after class in 2002—if that person happened to be a supermodel.

Famous pals Tom Cruise and David Beckham share plenty of interests, says a source, including a love of beauty treatments.
"They're both obsessed with skincare," the source tells the National Enquirer. "Not a lot of men are as passionate about it as they are, so it's something that they've really bonded over."
According to the source, the retired athlete, 51, and the Top Gun star, 64, aren't simply trading grooming tips, either.
"Tom and David have been going for facials together," spills the source. "They've both gotten some pretty intense laser treatments too."
Thanks to the former soccer pro's wife, Victoria Beckham, "they have the numbers for all the best dermatologists and estheticians and hairstylists," adds the source. "And they have been putting them to use."

Pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo continues to showcase her passion for edgy vintage fashion. Recently, the singer attended the "An Evening with Olivia Rodrigo" event at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. Naturally, her stylish appearance captured everyone's attention. She cleverly repurposed an archival designer top into a thigh-skimming micro minidress. Ultimately, her unique outfit seamlessly blended spooky graphic elements with classic preppy aesthetic details.
For the special museum appearance on September 1, 2026, Olivia Rodrigo selected an iconic archival piece from ***** anese brand Undercover's Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Specifically, the vintage silk top showcases a soft peachy-orange shade with short sleeves. Furthermore, a contrasting black rounded collar and dark shoulder cap trims give the top a neat, structured silhouette. However, rather than pairing the top with pants or a skirt, Rodrigo wore the piece as a teeny tiny micro minidress.
The front of the dress features a detailed black ribcage and spine print running down the middle. Consequently, this bold skeleton graphic adds a rebellious, punk-rock twist to her sweet look. Moreover, celebrity stylists Chloe and Chenelle elevated the leggy silhouette by pairing the dress with semi-sheer black Wolford tights. The dark tights created a striking contrast against the bright orange silk fabric.
In addition, Rodrigo chose shiny black patent leather Stuart Weitzman "Babette" Mary Jane pumps ($495) for her footwear. The block-heel shoes featured delicate straps across her feet, injecting a dainty vintage charm into the edgy outfit. Furthermore, she kept her jewelry very subtle so the graphic vintage dress could remain the main focus.
Her beauty team complemented the look with effortless styling. Hairstylist Mary Kendall brushed her long dark locks into soft, glossy waves that fell over her shoulders. Meanwhile, makeup artist Karissa O'Hanlon gave her glowing skin, rosy flushed cheeks, and a glossy berry-pink lip. Overall, Rodrigo perfectly demonstrated her ability to turn a vintage top into an iconic micro-dress.

Red carpet glamour may look effortless, but behind every polished celebrity appearance is usually a team of professionals working together. Stylists, makeup artists and hairstylists help stars prepare for major events, making sure every detail feels right before the cameras start flashing. For many celebrities, getting ready is less about following a strict formula and more about trusting experienced people who understand their personal style. The process can feel like playing dress up, with different outfits, beauty looks and accessories tested until everything comes together.
Celebrities often describe the experience as highly collaborative. Stylists may bring several clothing options, but the final choice still depends on what makes the person wearing it feel comfortable and confident. Stars can suggest changes, remove details or add something that better reflects their personality. Even when the glam team does most of the technical work, personal input remains important. The strongest red carpet looks are often the ones that feel natural to the person wearing them rather than simply following whatever happens to be fashionable at the moment.
Preparation can also begin long before the makeup brushes and clothing racks arrive. Eating well, drinking enough water and taking care of the skin can help create a better starting point for the beauty team. Just as important is working with familiar professionals who understand a celebrity's face, preferences and comfort level. That trust can make the hours before an event feel less stressful, especially when the same makeup artist or hairstylist has developed a recognizable approach over years of working together.
Makeup artist Gucci Westman is one example of how personal that relationship can become. Her work has been described as gentle and artistic, almost like painting a face rather than simply applying cosmetics. For a celebrity, having someone who knows exactly how to create a familiar look can provide confidence before stepping into an environment filled with cameras and attention. The same principle applies to fashion styling, where understanding the person matters just as much as understanding clothes.
Stylist Erin Walsh, known for working with stars including Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez, describes red carpet dressing as a collaboration. Trends can provide inspiration and help fashion continue evolving, but they should not completely control the final look. Instead, pieces of current trends can be adapted to suit an individual's personality, comfort and appearance. That may be the real secret behind memorable red carpet style. The best looks are not created by one person alone, but through teamwork, trust and a shared understanding of what makes someone feel their best.

The beauty of a five-month-long basketball season is that it leaves room for pauses – a mid-season exhale, even. For the WNBA, it arrives in the form of All-Star Weekend. It's a moment when the league's best fans come together to vote on who and what they want to see, creating a weekend built around the All-Star Game, the 3-Point Contest, and a series of, what's supposed to be, lighthearted challenges. Unless you caught any part of the Stud Budz livestream, then it was more like a weekend-bender partying with a little side of hoops.
Although the weekend is centered around basketball and partying, the main event has quietly become fashion. Players have shown up ready to make statements, debut new looks, new partnerships with stylists and, yes, occasionally hard-launch new relationships along the way. This year, more than ever, it felt like stylists were part of the equation, helping players hone in and polish their sense of style. The influence and emblem of basketball was everywhere, whether through stitched motifs, graphic details, or the written across letterman jackets, cargo pants, and t-shirts.
Custom pieces were also trending this red-carpet, with more masculine, blinged-out, and colorful suits were the center of the carpet. Along with this, we saw sleek monochromatic moments. Ombré became one of the defining looks of the weekend, especially as the All-Star Game warm-up uniforms echoed the same gradient effect. From the orange carpet to the after-parties, everyone embraced the chance to have a little fun—and we rounded up the best fits from the weekend below.
