We’ve said this a lot on MissMalini.com, our beloved stars all have a battalion of people to make them look perfect no matter where they go. Why wouldn’t they, unlike us they are followed and photographed 24/7, they have to be on their A – game all the time. Lets look back to some of the stars who, had it not been for their stylist wouldn’t have become the style icons they are today.

Lady Gaga and Nicola Formichetti

Lady Gaga Would have remained Stefani Germanotta had it not been for Nicola Formichetti. Gaga had that mad streak in her but needed the help and guidance of Nicola to create these outfits. Btw, if you hadn’t heard already, Lady Gaga went bankrupt after spending millions on costumes for her Monster’s Ball tour. Hmm, I guess it doesn’t pay to have an addiction to fetish clothing even with no.1 singles on the charts!

Rihanna and Mariel Haenn

‘Pon the Replay’ one of Rihanna’s first songs is what started the Rihanna era of music, but what propelled her to the spotlight was her stylist Mariel Haenn. With a bold hair cut and some risque clothing, Rihanna transformed before our eyes, and we’re loving all these changes – Red hair and all!

Nicole Richie and Rachel Zoe

Rachel Zoe has been the style catalyst for many starlets in Hollywood, but the biggest (or shall i say the skinniest) transformation has been with Nicole Richie. Not only has Nicole grown into her own look with the initial help of Rachel, but she now has her own clothing lines, ‘House of Harlow 1960’ and ‘Winter Kate’.
