Celebrity Stylist Cher Coulter on What It’s Like to Dress an A-lister for a Massive, Global Press Tour

by

Summer is almost here, and for major movie stars, that means one thing: Blockbuster season.

While we line up at the box office to see movies like The Great Gatsby or Star Trek: Into Darkness, starlets run a worldwide marathon of premieres, interviews, and even film festivals like Cannes, each one requiring a different outfit.. It is undoubtedly glamorous–but it’s also a lot of hard work for their stylist.

We wanted to know just what kind of work goes into planning a celebrity’s wardrobe for a media tour, so we caught up with Cher Coulter–stylist to Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller, just to name a few–to get all the behind-the-scenes details on press prep.

The Great Gatsby finally opened this weekend, and did a pretty boffo box office (although it got some mixed reviews).

How to Wear a Great Gatsby-Inspired Headpiece

by

The costumes in Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby (which finally opens today) are gorgeous confections with an over-the-top 1920s sensibility. In almost every scene, those outfits are topped off with headbands, headwraps, or barrettes–and we were absolutely captivated by the look. (Downton Abbey and the recent spring couture shows have also recently showcased some amazing ’20s style head gear.)

The good news is that you can totally work this trend without looking like Daisy Buchanan’s BFF or the fourth sister from Downton Abbey. Trust us (and experts headpiece makers like Eugenia Kim and Jennifer Behr).
