For international celebs and KOLs, having a stylist is like, THE KEY to always looking flawless. Whether they’re owning the stage, slaying the red carpet, or just hitting the streets for a casual day out (or even jetting off somewhere fabulous!), their stylist has their back.
But here in the Vietnamese entertainment world (that’s Vbiz, for all you cool cats), things are a little different. It’s kinda sad, but true – most Vietnamese stars haven’t jumped on the stylist train yet. And that can mean their fashion choices are, well, a bit all over the place. Sometimes they nail it, sometimes…not so much
Stylists: The Masterminds Behind Iconic Looks
Sandra Amador and Tom Eerebout are the duo behind Lady Gaga’s impressive outfits in a series of famous events. We can see that Stylists do not appear on stage or on the red carpet, but they leave their mark on the outfits that celebs and KOLs wear.
Having a stylist is the only way for KOLs to always appear in the most beautiful, appropriate outfits, keeping up with trends or even better, creating trends.
US – UK stars or Korean and Chinese artists understand that with their busy schedules, they cannot always prepare their own outfits. No matter how sophisticated their fashion sense is, KOLs cannot update all trends, new fashion styles or have creative mix & match like a professional stylist. Not to mention, Asian stars often have limited height, expensive designer outfits may not look good if not adjusted properly by a stylist.
BLACKPINK’s success and influence cannot be without the presence of a “top” stylist.
BLACKPINK’s stylist is famous for her top-notch ability to cut and retouch designer clothes, making the idols look better than the models wearing the original designs. While other Korean girl groups are stuck in a feminine, sweet image, thanks to the talented hands of the stylist, BLACKPINK often transforms into “super cool” outfits that quickly become trends, making fashionistas admire and praise them.
It’s no coincidence that Zhao Liying and Fan Bingbing consistently slay the red carpet. These queens know how to make an entrance, and it’s all thanks to their secret weapon: celebrity stylist Min Tasha! This fashion mastermind has an eye for haute couture and knows exactly how to make these stars shine in those show-stopping designer gowns.
It is no coincidence that Trieu Le Dinh and Pham Bang Bang are always mentioned when talking about excellent red carpet performances, all thanks to the famous stylist Man Thap Sa who helped them choose high-end outfits from the Haute Couture line.
Why Every KOL Needs a Stylist in Their Corner
Let’s be real, even the most stylish KOLs can’t keep up with every trend or master the art of mixing and matching like a pro. Plus, with hectic schedules, who has time to plan the perfect outfit for every event?
That’s where a stylist comes in. They take the stress out of dressing, ensuring their clients always look polished, on-trend, and ready to slay.
When KOLs choose to wear classic outfits, it is still safe, but when they mix & match or add accessories or change their hairstyle, it is likely to become a “fashion disaster” because their aesthetic sense is not up to par.
This disastrous outfit of singer Hong Nhung is proof that KOLs should not mix and match their own clothes.
Ho Ngoc Ha is one of the few Vietnamese stars who has a stable fashion style, all thanks to the female singer having stylist Kye Nguyen for 10 years.
Compared to when they first started their careers, Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc and Huong Giang both have improved their fashion sense thanks to stylists who take care of their outfits, making the two female artists take the spotlight every time they appear because they are so beautiful.
Huong Giang and Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc are names that are always taken care of by stylists in every appearance.
Although the Vietnamese stylist industry is still young, it is undeniable that they have made “impressive” contributions in helping KOLs build a suitable image. Hopefully, in the future, KOLs will appreciate the importance of stylists, and Vietnamese showbiz will have more talented stylists so that both fans and fashion-loving audiences can be “satisfied” every time an artist appears.
