Celebrities are known for their elaborate entourages, featuring hair, makeup and nail artists, plus chefs and personal trainers. Now a new recruit has joined the lineup: the personal tailor.
Beyoncé is said to have hired 12 to work backstage on her costumes during her London Renaissance shows, while Stormzy’s stylist Melissa Holdbrook-Akposoe told GQ the rapper won’t wear anything without it being tailored to his 6ft 5in frame, describing it as now a “non-negotiable”. Meanwhile, magazine editors are finding more and more A-listers arrive at shoots with their own tailor to ensure off-the-peg looks are perfected.
