Meet the stylist to the streaming stars
The Straits Times|August 26, 2024
Streaming services cannot get enough of franchises: swaggering shows with sweeping locations, fertile plots and, perhaps most critically, large casts.

Each season of Netflix's Bridgerton (2020 to present) centres on a different love story among the eight titular siblings. On HBO's decades-spanning House Of The Dragon (2022 to present), several characters are played by two actors, one younger and one older.

Characters from The Lord Of The Rings trilogy have resurfaced in The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power (2022 to present) on Prime Video, played by new actors.

There are crossover cameos aplenty on many of the Star Wars and Marvel shows on Disney+.

These series are also packed with emerging actors relatively unknown names assuming their first mainstream roles. Join an ensemble, and fame may await.

In this crowded landscape, actors must also distinguish themselves off-screen.

They have to be charming during press junkets perhaps play with and puppies or become a meme wear something memorable on the red carpet. Eventually, they may catch the attention of fashion brands or publications eager to attach themselves to young talent.

A stylist is vital to this process: someone who specialises in dressing for the public eye and who can act as a liaison between the talent and the fashion houses.

As it happens, many of these breakout stars are using the same one.
