Hollywood’s iconic wardrobe stylists
In the last ten years, thanks in part to the internet and social networks, global attention on what the celebrities wear has soared to such an extent that the figure of the wardrobe stylists has become one of the main industry. Not only is it one of Hollywood’s best-paid professions, they have an amazing ability to grab media attention and generate revenue for its customers. But they also to help raise the artistic careers of most celebrities, such was the case of Lupita Nyong’o two seasons ago.
Stylists have a cost
Brad Goreski, Lady Gaga’s wardrobe stylist, said: “The key to having a stylist is that you can make more money, either because more people want to hire you or because the brand you are carrying is making more money, and that generates more sales. Everything revolves around money. This is Hollywood, not the church!” There is a lot of money. The best wardrobe stylists charge from 10,000 euros onwards per event and brands can pay from 70,000 to 230,000 euros for an actress to wear a dress on a red carpet.
The numbers seem exorbitant, but the reality is that it is a marriage of highly profitable convenience. Behind an empowered image, at least in Hollywood, there is a great stylist. As an example, Beyoncé was proclaimed the woman of the moment in the Super Bowl 2016. Here, the singer became Black Panther thanks to a thoughtful design of Dsquared and hir performance was a media phenomenon at the hands of Atelier Zana Bayne, a New York firm that made the harnesses of the dancers.
This performance, as it is own of the diva of Houston, became viral as much as its video of Formation. the nine looks of the music video that Beyoncé herself directed, costed 100,000 euros. Also, at the beginning of 2016, we verified the transformation of Lady Gaga through her stylings.
