WAYMAN BANNERMAN and MICAH MCDONALD
Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald are a Los Angeles-based styling duo. The pair has worked with several notable names but if one wants to specifically take more risks as far as men’s fashion, they are great stylists to look to. One of their clients, Colman Domingo, was placed on several “best-dressed” lists during the most recent award season due to the fact that they did not play it safe with the typical suit and tie that most don on the red carpet. In an exclusive interview with TODAY.com, the duo claimed their mission when working alongside Domingo was, as Micah says, “Wanting to focus on what the new leading man can look like.”
KOLLIN CARTER
Cardi B is one of today’s top female Rappers and her looks over the years has been well documented. At the early stages of her career, she was known for brand partnerships with Fashion Nova and has now become known for wearing iconic couture pieces. This fashion evolution developed at the hands of stylist, Kollin Carter. Carter previously stated publicly that he thinks that Cardi B’s 2019 Met Gala outfit is what broke her into the fashion world. The outfit was a red Thom Browne creation that featured $250,000 worth of rubies. One of the obstacles that Cardi and Carter have faced is finding designer pieces that fit and compliment her curves as that body type has not been the norm in the fashion world. This has proven to be one of his specialties as we’ve now seen Cardi in the likes of Versace, Chanel and many more high-end names.
TIMOTHY LUKE GARCIA
Timothy Luke Garcia is a stylist who has previously worked for arguably the current top stylist in Hollywood, Law Roach. Garcia has now garnered his own clients such as New York Rapper, Ice Spice and songstress Chloe Bailey. As a rising name in styling, he has quickly shown that he is one to watch as he has been pulling fun and playful pieces for Ice Spice during the most recent award season, such as the white Dolce and Gabbana lace outfit she wore to the Video Music Awards (VMAs), inspired by a Britney Spears’ 2003 VMAs ensemble. The ability to have amazing references such as that show the makings of an amazing stylist in the industry.
BRYON JAVAR
Bryon Javar is the celebrity stylist behind Marsai Martin, Quinta Brunson, Megan Thee Stallion, and many more A-list celebrities. Along with being a stylist, he is also a creative director and designer. He has curated unforgettable red carpet moments and it’s his keen eye for trends and attention to detail that has made him a go-to for styling in the fashion industry.
LAW ROACH
Mentioned early in this article, Law Roach is one of Hollywood’s most high profile stylists. He is most known for his long term partnership with A-list actress, Zendaya. Together, they have earned a reputation for dominating red carpets. One of the many reasons why Law has earned his place at the top is because of his ability to craft a thematic wardrobe. When Zendaya begins a press tour, it is well known that her looks have been well thought out and selected to have some type of reference to the show or movie. They have perfected this approach in a masterful way that regularly lands them on the best dressed list of almost every fashion publication.
These five celebrity stylists have proven themselves to be fashion trendsetters and visionaries. Their innovative style choices and impeccable eye for detail have left an undeniable mark on the industry.
