Talk about total transformation!
No matter how keen a celebrity’s innate sense of style is, having a stylist can take their fashion game to the next level – the before and after changes can be pretty amazing.
Here are 15 celebrities before and after seeing a stylist:
1. While promoting the movie Slumdog Millionaire in 2008, Dev Patel walked the red carpet in his school uniform blazer.

However, designer Christopher Bailey and his team at Burberry “came to the rescue” just in time to dress Dev for the Oscars.

2. For her very first movie premiere, Zendaya made herself an outfit out of clothes she had from Target.

However, when she was 14, she decided she needed help choosing an outfit for the Never Say Never premiere, so she worked with vintage store owner-turned-stylist Lowe Roach.

4. Before her first red carpet, 12-year-old Kristen Stewart “acted weird” about her baby hair, so she cut it herself.

A few years later, her publicist matched her stylist, Tara Swennen, and they’ve been working together ever since.

5. Many designers refused to wear Gabourey Sidibé for her first major red carpet event at Cannes because of her size, so she bought the cute dress herself from Torrid.

She then worked with a stylist who made promises she couldn’t keep, such as claiming a high-end designer would make her a dress, then backtracking and saying it wouldn’t happen.

However, she eventually began working with Marcy Guevara-Prete, who was willing to scour the internet for outfits Gabourey liked.

6. Amanda Seyfried “used the only money [she] had to buy a dress” for the premiere of “Mean Girls”, but she “didn’t know a single rule, so [she] was wearing a white bra and black underwear and was not slipping.”

7. Back in 2012, Olivia Munn said she didn’t work with a stylist because she’d rather take the blame for a bad outfit, but she admitted to sending pictures of her outfits to her Vogue friend for advice.
