In a post-Barbenheimer world, method dressing has never been more omnipresent. Whether it’s the ethereal romance of Wuthering Heights or the Gen Z microtrend mania surrounding Marty Supreme and The Moment, every project now comes with a fashion strategy. Stylists are ushering their clients into distinct eras, often abetted by canny archival pulls (’90s Galliano, ’70s Bob Mackie) and custom looks from emerging designers. Here, 15 of the talents who are making this season’s step-and-repeats stand out.
Andrew Mukamal
It seemed method dressing might have peaked with Mukamal’s artfully archival looks for Margot Robbie on the Barbie run, but he’s managed to outdo himself with his work on her Wuthering Heights rollout. Fashion history nerds have been tracking his vintage pulls, including several John Galliano looks and a Vivienne Westwood mini-crini. And he’s worked with Dilara Fındıkoğlu on custom corseted pieces that capture the over-the-top romance of the film.
Danielle Goldberg
If you’re a nominee about to embark on the awards circuit, get thee to Danielle Goldberg. Last season, she gave Saoirse Ronan fashion-girl cred, putting her in spiky Schiaparelli couture and Old Celine. This year, Jessie Buckley is racking up sartorial wins along with her trophies, donning Jonathan Anderson-designed Dior for the Golden Globes and one of the coveted Chanel Charvet shirts to go on Jimmy Kimmel. Goldberg’s client list also boasts Greta Lee, Ayo Edebiri, and Eva Victor, and she has an eye for emerging brands like LII.
Chris Horan
You might call him the man of The Moment. Horan has collaborated with Charli XCX on everything from her Brat looks to the rollout of her current mockumentary and Wuthering Heights promotion. For the former, he’s put her in bad-girl Saint Laurent; for the latter, romantic looks like the lacy pink Erdem gown above. Get you a stylist who can do both!
Erin Walsh
Selena Gomez’s romantic, Old Hollywood-inspired looks have been one of the highlights of this award season, and we have Walsh to thank. And given that poised-for-a-huge-2026 Anne Hathaway is also a client, we’ll surely be seeing more of her handiwork.
Spencer Singer
Billie Eilish is never afraid to get a little avant-garde, and neither is her stylist. For the Grammys, Eilish sported the LVMH Prize-winning brand Hodakova. The Stockholm-based label provided a custom look for the singer, which incorporated deadstock trousers and belts—a perfect fit for the sustainably-minded star.
Enrique Melendez
Jenna Ortega has been working with her stylist since she was 14, and he has molded her look as she’s evolved from Disney star to leading lady. This awards season, he has dressed her in pieces from Mugler, Dilara Fındıkoğlu, and Ashi Studio that tap into her penchant for edgy glamour.
Genesis Webb
All anyone could talk about after the Grammys was Chappell Roan’s Mugler look, complete with prosthetics and fake tattoos. It was just one of the OTT ensembles Webb has created for the singer, who is also prone to a weirdeval moment.
Jared Ellner
The go-to stylist for Young Hollywood types like Sabrina Carpenter, Rachel Sennott, and Molly Gordon, Ellner has a knack for tracking down the perfect Todd Oldham or Bob Mackie chestnut from the archives. His current-day looks are equally on target, like the tiered Valentino gown he put Carpenter in for the Grammys that nodded to her country stylings on Man’s Best Friend.
Harry Lambert
From Alexander Skarsgård’s sleeveless Ludovic de Saint Sernin black tie to Harry Styles’s low-cut tweed blazer, Lambert is always there to quench our thirst with a viral menswear moment.
Molly Dickson
Sweet and slightly retro, the Molly Dickson girl is immediately identifiable on a step-and-repeat. Her roster includes Lana del Rey, Sadie Sink, Sydney Sweeney, Ariana Greenblatt, and Keke Palmer.
Taylor McNeill
If you’re a menswear icon in 2026, there’s a good chance McNeill is in your corner. She has overseen Timothée Chalamet’s Chrome Hearts-clad Marty Supreme run and Kendrick Lamar’s dapper Chanel appearances.
Simone Beyene
Olivia Dean has emerged as a style star this season, and she has Beyene to thank for the elegant, slightly throwback wardrobe. Whether she’s in princess-esque Chanel or sunny Oscar de la Renta, Dean always looks as retro-chic as her tracks.
Felicity Kay
A one-time ELLE UK editor, Kay now styles Paul Mescal, Aimee Lou Wood, and Kit Connor. Her work with Mescal has seen him wear a silk Vivienne Westwood scarf shirt and a pearl-embellished Simone Rocha blazer, among other delicately detailed garb.
Emma Jade Morrison
When Zoey Deutch wasn’t captivating us as a pitch-perfect Jean Seberg in Nouvelle Vague, she was bringing retro energy to awards shows and premieres. (Case in point: the flapper-esque Prada gown she wore at the Golden Globes.) Morrison also works with Sarah Pidgeon, Sophie Turner, and reigning Sexiest Man Alive Jonathan Bailey.
Marc Forné
Troye Sivan’s boundary-pushing opera gloves and risqué Sweat Tour ensembles have made him a menswear megastar, with the help of his stylist Forné. The former model also styles Elite star Manu RÃos, and the two co-run the brand Carrer.
