A trio of celebrity stylists walk into a (pasta) bar. It’s three days before the Oscars, and they’re each dressing a Best Actress nominee. Do the rival stylists take up positions in opposite corners of the restaurant? Are the handshakes as cold as the oysters? Not even close. On Thursday night, there was not a standoffish stylist in sight at our delightful pre-Oscars party. Jamie Mizrahi, Brad Goreski, and Jason Bolden—aka, the stylists for Mikey Madison, Demi Moore, and Cynthia Erivo, respectively—were among those present at an intimate dinner hosted by United Talent Agency partner Dan Constable and our own Who What Wear co-founder and Future SVP of Women’s and Luxury, Hillary Kerr.
The concept? Carbs before the red carpet, with a side of raising money to benefit L.A. wildfire relief, at a low-key Hollywood insider spot, Marvin, which the group took over for the night. In a rare chance to connect in a relaxing, pasta-fueled setting, the most powerful behind-the-scenes fashion publicists and celebrity stylists gathered ahead of the whirlwind weekend. Key heavyweights from Louis Vuitton, Dior, Bulgari, Jimmy Choo, and other brands bounced from table to table sipping on Don Julio Tequila cocktails without a thought of award-season competition crossing their minds.
In Hollywood, no one slips on a shoe or zips up a dress without them, but fashion publicists and celebrity stylists aren’t always acknowledged for making the magic happen on red carpets. For one night in February, however, we were able to make the industry’s unsung heroes the center of attention thanks to our partnership with P/S and support from IS Clinical and Swarovski.
Meet your hosts for the evening: Dan Constable and Hillary Kerr.
