07/28/2008: "Why Celebrities Have Stylists"
)
Celebrity stylists are among the best-paid of the many folks that work behind the scenes in Hollywood. Tasked with making celebrities look like, well ... celebrities, some are so good that they become celebrities themselves. They're definitely high on the list of people who make the magic work in Tinseltown.
Here's a good example of what I mean. I don't mean to pick on ... once again ... Britney Spears, who has actually seemed to get her act together over the last few months, but it's such a great visual I just have to use it.
On the left is the lovely Miss Spears last week at an evening event. She's got the nice dress, the nice bottle tan, the nice hair extension - everything the public expects. On the right is the same girl the very next morning headed out for the first frappachino of the day. Everything she was the night before, she isn't any more. The hair's gone, the contacts are gone, the tan's gone - and the zits are back. Pretty dramatic - and a testimony to the skills of whomever styled her for the event.
Of course, I'm sure the stylist knows nothing about the mysterious white substance drizzling down the left side of her black dress. Some things you just can't style away, I guess ...
