Hollywood’s 25 most powerful stylists

The Hollywood Reporter’s 25 most powerful stylists and some of their main clients:

(Relaxnews) – After stars including Jessica Chastain and Michelle Williams topped best dressed lists during awards ceremony season, the women behind their looks rate highly in an annual ranking by US publication The Hollywood Reporter (THR) of the industry’s 25 most powerful stylists –which this year excludes fashion mogul Rachel Zoe.
After evaluating factors such as clients, visibility during awards season and breadth of influence, THR cites Kate Young, whose patrons include Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams, as this year’s most powerful stylist.

The latter wore red Louis Vuitton to the Academy Awards last month and came second in a Twitter best dressed list, according to data based on tweets sent regarding the awards ceremony with the hashtag #BESTDRESSED. Jessica Chastain topped the poll with her black and gold Alexander McQueen dress, although her stylist Elizabeth Stewart, who also dresses Viola Davis, Freida Pinto and Jennifer Lawrence, came in fourth place in THR’s list.
Meanwhile, Emma Stone, who impressed at the Oscars in a bow-detail Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown, is styled by Petra Flannery — who takes third place in THR’s compilation. Last year Rachel Zoe, who gained attention in the early 2000s due to her work with the likes of Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie and Keira Knightley, topped THR’s most powerful stylist list. This year Zoe doesn’t feature on the rundown, although this exclusion is explained in an article by THR’s Shirley Halperin.
“Because her success has been so beyond what anyone thought a stylist could achieve, THR decided to recuse her from this year’s list,” wrote Halperin of the stylist who has become a television star and boasts her own multimillion-dollar fashion empire.
The ladies on this year’s list are breaking into the design world too though — Young last year teamed up with designer Lynne Hiriak for the knitwear line Cardigan by Kate Young and Leslie Fremar created a capsule line of basics for Fruit of the Loom.

Shop Her Closet

Kirsten Dunst attended the 2011 Toronto Film Festival Premiere of her new movie “Melancholia” yesterday.

The blonde actress chose to combine a look with pieces from Prada and Chanel.

She paired a navy and white polka-dot printed V-neck Prada blouse with a long pleated Chanel cream skirt.

Kirsten accessorized her look with strappy, silver embellished heels, a black clutch with gold trim detail and an elegant pair of floral-shaped earrings, which provided a pop of colour with a turquoise jewel center.

I like how Kirsten’s pieces work together to create a sophisticated but classic ensemble.  She complemented her look with a sleek half-up, half-down hairstyle and pretty light pink lip-gloss.

Rachel Bilson attended The CW Launch Party held at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California this week.

The ‘Hart Of Dixie’ actress wore an Erin Fetherston Resort 2012 dress.

Her pretty blush pink ruffled strapless dress was also worn with a cropped black Vanessa Bruno blazer.

Rachel accessorized her look with an emerald green Edie Parker glitter clutch and silk blush-toned Giuseppe Zanotti platform heels.

She completed her girly look with a chic up-do and light, pretty makeup.

The look feels a lot more chic with the blazer don’t you think?

Alexa Chung was spinning the decks at Stella McCartney’s Fashion’s Night Out event at the designer’s store in New York City this week.

The model and TV presenter chose a Stella McCartney Resort 2012 dress.

Her white dress which is adorned with cute black bows was teamed with Jimmy Choo ‘Wheel’ silver glitter flats.

Alexa finished her look with her trademark cat eye makeup and wore her hair in a casual ponytail.

It’s a more feminine look than what we’re used to on Alexa and I’m thankful she didn’t wear grubby boots for a refreshing change.

A similar version of this dress was recently spotted on Andrea Riseborough.

Rachel Bilson celebrated Fashion’s Night Out at Sunglass Hut in The Beverly Center, LA.

The actress, who is Style Director at Sunglass Hut, chose a typically perfect ensemble pairing a Vanessa Bruno white maxi skirt and cropped black blazer with an A.L.C semi-sheer tank.

She accessorized with a Luv AJ headband and Chloé wedges.

This is such a pretty, feminine look and Rachel completed it with slick straight hair and light, pretty makeup.

Kylie Minogue was photographed arriving at an office in London on Wednesday.

The petite singer wore a black YSL dress with a Karl Lagerfeld-esqe white collar and cuffs.

Her silver button down dress was accessorized with black pumps and tan oversized sunglasses.

A casual ponytail and pretty makeup completed her formal street style look.

Marion Cotillard made her first television appearance since having a baby on ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’ last night.

The new mum, who was there to promote her movie “Contagion,” glowed in a one-shouldered teal Lanvin draped cocktail dress.

She accessorized with only a pair of T-strap peep-toe heels adorned with a cute bow and a thin bracelet.

I think the dress looks incredible but I do feel some earrings would have taken this ensemble up a notch. It feels a little too bare without any.

An up-do and perfectly flawless makeup completed her gorgeous look.

Kate Mara attended the premiere of “Tanner Hall” in LA last night to show her support for sister Rooney Mara, who stars in the movie.

The actress chose a simple red wool crepe Prada Fall 2011 short sleeve dress.

She added to her look Prada Fall 2011 accessories, including a rust-coloured lurex button-detail clutch and a sexy pair of Prada Cammeo python heels.

Kate wore her fiery locks down in pretty curls and opted for lightly rimmed eyes and coral lips.

It’s a simple but classic look and I love how her accessories complement her hair.
