Client: Angela Bassett

There are very few actors that do it for me and Angela Bassett is one of them. Her swag says it all. The way every garment that she dawns, either in her foyer before the black car comes, or on the red carpet of another award show nomination; just makes me tingle in all the right places. She is styled exclusively by Jennifer Austin, a Redondo Beach, self-proclaimed “Cali Girl” who could play Angela as a body double.

Client: Michael B. Jordan

When dressing Michael B. Jordan for the Academy Awards, Ade knew she wanted him to stand out by expressing his own personal style. “My job is really to make sure that he’s comfortable is what he’s wearing and too.”

Jason Bolden

Jason is really killing the game in styling black influencers. Most of his clients are photographed continuously on daily rotations. Especially during awards season, Jason I’m sure is planning some spectacular and classically shimmering for Ava on the Oscar’s red carpet.
