Odessa A’zion, most recently in the spotlight for playing Rachel Mizler in Marty Supreme, is helping to reshape fashion in Hollywood by styling herself for major events.

At the premiere for the new movie, Odessa styled herself in a stunning off the shoulder fitted gown, later pairing a vintage feathered off-the-shoulder top from Dolce and Gabbana with sleek black pants for the Golden Globes a few weeks alter.

She even finished her makeup in the car on the way to the event.

As one of the first major red-carpet events held at the beginning of the year, the Golden Globes are a key moment for celebrity stylists.

A successful look can elevate a stylist’s profile overnight, often influencing fashion trends for the year to come as well as dominating headlines across fashion media and social platforms.

Julia Roberts’ iconic red carpet suit by Giorgio Armani at the 1990s Golden Globes challenged the traditional, feminine ballgown aesthetic of the 80s.

Roberts transformed people’s ideology of what women should be wearing on a red carpet and opened a new pathway for fashion inclusion, disregarding gender norms.

Although red carpets have shaped fashion throughout the years by way of celebrity stylists, many celebrities are now turning to self-styling for major events.

Kate Moss, British supermodel and fashion icon, advocates for self-styling. Her wardrobe combines high and low fashion as she pairs polished items with gritty ones, to express who she is through her outfit.

Recently she teamed up with occasion wear brand Self-portrait to create her real clothes in real life collection, which she styled herself. She wanted to show that fashion can be everywhere, not just on red carpets.

Erykah Badu, American singer-songwriter and Grammy winner, is another celebrity challenging traditional stylist etiquette in Hollywood.

Talking to Vogue Badu said, “I make no distinction between what I wear on the street and the stage; its all just my style.. I don’t work with a stylist, and I never plan what I’m going to wear, its always an of-the-moment thing.”

Badu, who has been making style statements for decades, has blurred the lines between high fashion and daily wear, allowing the public to resonate with her fashion choices.

So why is Odessa A’zion and others like her moving towards self-styling? The shift allows stars to create a more direct and personal connection with their audiences.

It brings a sense of relativity to celebrities, that sometimes everyone needs some extra time in their car to give some final touch-ups to their makeup or question the outfit they had planned previously.

Expressing authenticity in this social media age creates engagement and recognition between celebrities and the public, a more down-to-earth approach then what we have previously been exposed to.

Although these celebrities still use high end fashion names such as Dior and Dolce and Gabbana, they are changing the perception of fashion and making it more inclusive by self-styling.
