Present day designers have realized that the enormous hype and branding value that is working with celebrities are due to the stylists.

These stylists don't just dress their clients but they also make sure that their clients are picture-perfect.

Established stars dress up for the red carpet but during the day they may look ordinary.

The celebrity stylist is not a new phenomenon although for the new generation of young American starlets dressing celebrities for the red carpet is only part of the job description since the icons employ a stylist to transform them into fashion icons.

There is much pressure on celebrities to look good all the time because photographers follow them everywhere.

Posing for photograph is such an important part of the modern celebrity's job that it's little wonder some have employed professionals to help them make the most of every photo opportunity.

Some stars have their own natural style but a lot of them need the expertise and designer contacts a stylist can provide them.

Also the power of these stylists lies in their connection to the celebrities.

Stylist Andrea Lieberman had worked for Jennifer Lopez for attending the Grammys in 2000 and for Gwen Stefani.

Duo Estee Stanley and Cristina Ehrlich worked for stars Demi Moore and Penelope Cruz and have helped teens Mandy Moore and the Olsen twins.
