how to wear it Fashion stylist Elizabeth Stewart on set suit Sustainability flexes and sharp suiting are two top tricks in the bag of Hollywood's superstar stylist Elizabeth Stewart. BY INGRID SCHMIDT PORTRAIT BY MARCUS MAM stewart's strong In the world of Tinseltown, where talent often bounces around, the longevity of fashion stylist Elizabeth Stewart's client roster is a testament to her enduring skills: Cate Blanchett has been a client for 19 years; Julia Roberts for 18; and Amanda Seyfried and Jessica Chastain clock in at 15 years each. Stewart started her fashion career in New York and Paris, where she styled covers for W Magazine. She then moved to Los Angeles and began styling celebrities for the New York Times, which led to requests for red-carpet dressing. Today, Stewart, a known champion of "re-wearing looks," is one of the most respected tastemakers in Hollywood; Elizabeth Olsen, Laura Dern, Viola Davis, and Zoey Deutch are among her other current clients. When we speak, Stewart is busy doing fittings for the Venice Film Festival with Roberts (for After the Hunt) and Seyfried (for Ann Lee). "Julia has a very specific style that really jives with what is happening in the current collections: tailoring, strong shoulders, neckties, and cravats," says Stewart. "So it's fun to put her spin on that. With Amanda, we're aiming for a classic red-carpet moment that works with the strong fall trend of the hourglass shapes of yesteryear!" Here, Stewart weighs in on the pieces she can't travel without, the looks she's eagerly anticipating this season, and how a particular pair of shoes saved the day when she lost her luggage.
