Who dresses Zendaya, Sebastian Stan, Jill Biden? Stylists on the pressure ahead of Oscars
Once, stylist Bailey Moon was dressing a female client for a major event. Moments before she left her hotel, a piece of tile, used as embellishment, fell off.

Having handled hundreds of situations like this in his career, Bailey leapt into action with some hot glue.
The problem was that, while he succeeded in reattaching it to the dress, he had also accidentally glued himself to the garment, too. And thus he found himself in the sleek town car with the actress, on the way to her engagement, desperately trying to get himself unstuck.
Suffice it to say, he managed to disengage from his client's garment before she hit the step and repeat, but he did not relish the moments of mild panic.

'My thing is to not have this chaotic atmosphere,' says Moon, who dresses actors like
Cristin Milioti , Diane Lane, and the married couple Rebecca Hall and Morgan Spector.

He also works outside the entertainment industry, most notably with Dr Jill Biden – the former first lady of the United States – and other members of the Biden family.
