Behind the best of Winnie Harlow, Lala Anthony and Megan Fox’s looks is Maeve Reilly. Reilly knows how to take her clients from day to night and red carpet to street without compromising her sexy and inclusive aesthetic.

Wayman + Micah

Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald are among The Hollywood Reporter’s Top 10 Hairstylists of the Decade. Their appreciation for color on the red carpet and their fearlessness in the face of experimentation make them a stylist duo you can’t stop watching. You can credit Wayman + Micah for Kiki Layne’s style evolution, Tessa Thompson’s standout street style, and Regina King’s regal red carpet presence.

Elly Karamoh is known for dressing the Harvey family. He is the reason Steve Harvey can win his own Faby this year while he keeps Harvey’s daughter Lori at every event.

If you’ve ever wondered why Monica looks so cool and who makes Kandi Burruss look as sweet as her name, Jeremy Haynes is the answer. Haynes has helped dress musical legends for much of his career. He keeps his clients looking commanding by keeping a list of bright, bold, and illuminating pieces on his shelves.

Jason Rembert has dressed some of the biggest names in Hollywood. From veteran supermodel Iman to R&B queen Mary J. Blige, his client list is the cream of entertainment. This roster of talent relies on Rembert to dress them in looks as seductive as they are, and he always does.

There aren’t many details about the sisterly styling duo behind Kylie Jenner’s look, but they are known to keep the youngest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan consistently the best dressed. While Kylie continues to excel in her career, the Grandquist sisters have done a good job of keeping her at the forefront of the fashion conversation.

Cardi B has always been a stylish girl, but much of her It Girl success is heavily influenced by Kollin Carter. Since she split from her former stylist, Cardi and Carter have formed a dynamic relationship that has only elevated Cardi as a fashion girl.

Ever since they grew further into their stardom, Chloe and Halle Bailey have relied on Udechukwu to elevate their brands in style. Udechukwu is also responsible for the stunning glamor of Kelly Rowland’s style.

Karla Welch takes credit for styling many Hollywood actresses, but her most prominent relationship is hers and Tracee Ellis Ross. With Ross’s immense love of fashion and Welch’s remarkable talent for piecing it together, this dynamic duo has kept Hollywood wanting for more with every red carpet, press tour and Instagram post.

Consider Jaheel Weaver Rihanna’s right hand in all style. Behind every polarizing look, from her maternity couture tour to the Fenty campaign and launch parties, are Weaver’s golden threads tying it all together like graceful puppeteer.

Thomas Christos is best known for dressing the Wade girls. He’s the guy Gabrielle Union goes to for every event, and we have him to thank for continuing to create the new It Girl Zaya Wade.

Legendary queens Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj trust Diandre Tristan to look their best. She’s a master of Minaj’s black-tie looks that explore bright colors and textures, which she often pairs with a wig. She also effortlessly channels Carey’s dynamic diva energy in lush velvet gowns and crystal corsets.

If you enjoyed Michelle Obama’s versatile book tour look, you have Meredith Koop to thank. Obama’s book tour is one of the most talked about style tours of 2022, and Koop deserves all the praise for it. The former First Lady is no stranger to a manicured look, but with Koop, Obama explores all sides of style, from White House-approved elegance to double jean.

Rap girls trust Naya Ashley, and they should. She understands the texture, pattern, and play of colors needed to achieve a ‘fit’. She has added upcoming star Glorilla to her list and is already locked in a 2022 Hairstylist of the Year award. She doesn’t play games and we love watching it.

Take an icon to dress one up. Billingsley is the stylish stylist behind some of the most beautiful black talent. From new girls like Coco Jones to industry icons like Michelle Williams, Billingsley brings a cinematic feel of soul and boldness to every look.
