We all adore the stunning outfits worn by our favourite stars, but it’s important to recognise that many of these iconic looks are the result of the hard work and expertise of their professional stylists.

Stylists play a crucial role in every celebrity’s glam squad – who have been in the spotlight recently, speaking out about the challenges they faced during the Hollywood strikes – as they often work tirelessly behind the scenes to put together their best ensembles that we end up seeing on social media or in the press.

Here are 10 star-trusted stylists that you need to know.
