"I do get inspired by the film I'm in and put a little of that into my look," says Fanning. "For Maleficent, I played Sleeping Beauty, so why wouldn't we go full-out princess?" The actress also explains how she feels about designer questions on the red carpet: "Samantha and I put a lot of effort into the clothes, so, yeah, you can ask me who this is. I'm very proud to tell you because those fittings last a long time."
McMillen landed at No. 3 on this year's Power Stylists list.
McMillen's other clients include Dakota Fanning, Daisy Ridley, Ashley Judd and Brie Larson.
The youngest Fanning sister shut down Cannes in 21 looks, including a hand-painted Vivienne Westwood unicorn gown. "We were like, 'Yes!' " says Fanning of Westwood's offer to paint the dress. "It had the unicorn and my name." Adds McMillen: "It's like a museum piece. Really incredible."

"I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong" with being asked whom she's wearing on the red carpet, says Ronan. "I've never had a problem with it. I want to talk about the film first and foremost, but I do think it's fun to be creative when it comes to fashion, and that's something I've started to appreciate because of working with Elizabeth."

When Elgort first met Tan, he told the stylist that he'd worn a Zara suit to the CFDA Awards honoring his photographer father, Arthur Elgort. "John looked at me and said, 'You never have to go buy a suit again — I'll dress you in insane designers.' It sort of became this thing," recalls the actor.
"I saw a jade velvet tuxedo jacket and loved it," says Tan, describing the inspiration for his longtime client Ansel Elgort's Oscars look. "Before I even said a word, Tom Ford suggested the same color — talk about destiny," adds the New York stylist.

"I'd like to think Ansel, Tom Ford and I made that fashionable again."

Weston is one of Hollywood's most powerful men's stylists.
Says Boseman about his Black Panther press tour looks: "I was able to be myself and enjoy wearing the clothes. You have to find someone who knows what you're willing to try. Sometimes, I'm like, 'Uh …' but then she understands what I mean." Adds Weston, who has worked with the actor since June 2014: "We don't speak too many words. We've been around each other long enough."
The L.A.-based stylist had a jam-packed schedule with Chadwick Boseman's worldwide Black Panther blitz. Their hero look? The actor, 40, stood out in an embroidered Dzojchen kimono suit at the film's South Korea premiere in Seoul. "It's like, 'Go big or go home.' Chadwick's willing to make a statement, and I like that," says Weston.
Boseman tells THR, "Working with Ashley means I don't have to think about it, and that's the whole point."
On Weston: DSquared2 shirt and pants, IWC watch, David Yurman.
