Oscars host Anne Hathaway had many winning outfits during the recent telecast. For her and other stars who are famous for looking great wherever they go, those flashbulb-fashion moments largely are a tribute to their stylists.
The Hollywood Reporter magazine compiled its first-ever list of the 25 most-powerful celebrity stylists, and, no surprise, Rachel Zoe -- who dressed Hathaway on Oscar night -- was at the top.
She's grown her bohemian, beach-girl look made famous by Cameron Diaz into a reality TV show, books and her own fashion line.
It's important for a stylist to carve out an aesthetic, much like a designer does, but she needs to give her clients what they want, too, and Zoe is a master at that, said Merle Ginsberg, Hollywood Reporter senior writer.
The next names on the magazine's list were Kate Young, a former Vogue editor behind Natalie Portman's stylish maternity wardrobe; Petra Flannery, who is guiding young stars Emma Stone and Hailee Steinfeld; Jen Rade, who boasts longtime client Angelina Jolie, and Anna Bingemann, whose clients include Claire Danes, Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Watts.
Depending on the celebrity, the duty of the stylist changes, Ginsberg explains. Cate Blanchett, who works with Elizabeth Stewart, has a strong fashion sense and is looking for someone to scout out outfits that suit her style. Other celebrities turn to their stylists to help them carve a fashion personality.
