No matter how sharp a celeb’s innate sense of style is, having a stylist can elevate their fashion game to the next level — the before-and-after transformations can be pretty amazing.

Here are 15 celebs before and after getting a stylist:
1.While promoting Slumdog Millionaire during the 2008 awards season, Dev Patel wore the blazer from his school uniform on the red carpet.
However, designer Christopher Bailey, and his team at Burberry, “came to the rescue” just in time to dress Dev for the Oscars.
This is what his red carpet style looks like now.
2.For her very first movie premiere, Zendaya styled an outfit for herself out of clothes she had from Target.
However, when she was 14, she decided she wanted help choosing an outfit for the Never Say Never premiere, so she worked with vintage shop owner-turned-stylist, Law Roach.
3.Her Spider-Man: No Way Home costar and boyfriend, Tom Holland, got off to a simplistic start for his red carpet career .
However, around the time he started dating Zendaya, he also started working with her stylist, Law Roach.
This is Tom’s red carpet style now.
4.Before her first red carpet, 12-year-old Kristen Stewart “was being weird” about her baby hairs, so she snipped them off herself.
A few years later, her publicist matched her with stylist, Tara Swennen, and they’ve been working together ever since.
This is Kristen’s red carpet style these days.
5.Many designers refused to dress Gabourey Sidibe for her first major red carpet event in Cannes because of her size, so she bought a cute dress from Torrid herself.
Then, she worked with a stylist who made promises she couldn’t deliver on, such as claiming that a high-end designer would make her a dress, then backtracking and saying it wasn’t going to happen.
However, she eventually started working with Marcy Guevara-Prete, who was willing to scour the internet for outfits Gabourey loved.
This is her red carpet style now.
6.Amanda Seyfried “used the only money [she] had to buy a dress” for the Mean Girls premiere, but she “didn’t know any of the rules, so [she] was wearing a white bra and black underwear and no slip.”
However, she’s been working with stylist Elizabeth Stewart for the last decade.
This is her red carpet style now.
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 herself, but she did admit to sending pictures of her outfits to her friend at Vogue for advice.
However, by 2018, she was working with stylist Jessica Paster, who ordered the actor’s SAG Awards dress online.
This is Olivia’s currrent red carpet style.
8.Early in her career, Taylor Swift’s style was very country chic.
In 2008, stylist Joseph Cassell Falconer joined her team, and together, they leaned into a more sophisticated style.
This is her red carpet style now.
9.During her Disney days, Selena Gomez’s red carpet style felt very reminiscent of her Wizards of Waverly Place character, Alex Russo.
However, at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards, she started working with stylist Kate Young, who helped her evolve into a more mature style.
Here’s a recent example of her red carpet style.
10.During their early Disney channel days, Demi Lovato was the best-dressed emo kid on the red carpet.

Most recently, they’ve been working with Law Roach, who put together this look in 2020.
