Rakul Preet Singh Spills The Beans On How Much Celebrity Stylists Charge – News18
Last Updated:
Appearing on a podcast, Rakul Preet Singh got candid about how much do celebrity fashion stylists actually charge in the film industry. Read on to find out more.
The actor revealed that celebrities pay for stylists, photographers, and hair and makeup teams.
Celebrity stylists are expensive and many stars have opened up about the high charges by these professionals. Celebrity stylists often charge from Rs 20,000 to Rs 1 lakh, ‘or more,’ for putting together a single outfit. However, these numbers are approximations that could change according to the stylist’s location, experience, and services provided. Actress Rakul Preet Singh has opened up about her experience with celebrity stylists in the film industry and how much they charge.
On the March 27th episode of the Figuring Out With Raj Shamani podcast, Rakul Preet Singh explains how expensive it is to hire a celebrity stylist. The actress revealed. “There is a team to do that. You are not doing anything… it is expensive. A stylist can start from ₹20,000 for a red carpet look to ₹1 lakh for a single look or even more.”
Rakul further revealed that in the film industry, celebrities pay for the stylist, the photographer who shoots your look, and your hair and makeup team. “I have worked with the same makeup and hair team for 6 years and they are like family now and sometimes they don’t even ask for anything,” she added.
Moving on, she clarified that celebrities don’t pay the designers for the dresses they wear on the red carpet. Rakul said, “You pay the stylist, who sources the outfit. What stylists do is, they take a fee that covers everything from their assistants to the courier charges. This is why if you are wearing an international designer, the cost becomes higher. The stylists figure out everything about a look.”
She revealed that the designers always give out clothes to celebs because the clothes actors wear get attention on social media, thereby giving a designer visibility and causing their sales to go up. “Sometimes, I buy the clothes that are curated for me by stylists. Ethically, I don’t like to take these for free,” she added, expressing her dislike of taking clothes for free.
On the work front, the 34-year-old actress was last seen in the romantic-comedy film, Mere Husband Ki Biwi, alongside Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar.
