Summary
Erin Walsh is a celebrity stylist known for working with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Mindy Kaling, and the author of The Art of Intentional Dressing.
She joins the show to talk about the psychology of personal style, what really goes into creating iconic celebrity looks, and why fashion is far more impactful than people give it credit for. Erin shares how she approaches styling A-list clients, the differences between dressing someone for a press tour versus a single red carpet, what preparing for the Met Gala actually looks like behind the scenes, and the fashion “rules” she thinks are outdated.
We also dive into her CREATE method and how to build a wardrobe that reflects how you want to feel, where to start if you feel overwhelmed by your closet, how to curate chic travel outfits, the importance of great undergarments, and the trends she’s loving — and avoiding — right now. This episode is full of practical advice for anyone wanting to feel more confident, intentional, and elevated in the way they get dressed.

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a dear media production. |
| 0:05.8 | This is Well, a podcast about wellness in all its forms. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm Ariel Laurie, and each week I'm sharing unfiltered conversations with people shaping how we feel, live, and look. |
| 0:17.2 | Come for the substance, stay for the honesty, and leave with the tools to be well, inside and out. |
| 0:25.7 | I have to say, I was so beyond honored and kind of geeking out over my guest today. I have followed |
| 0:32.6 | her for so long, and I've been such a big fan of her work when it comes to styling. So it was kind of surreal |
| 0:40.6 | to be able to sit down with her and talk about her new book, The Art of Intentional Dressing, |
| 0:45.9 | which completely changed how I get dressed in the morning and how I feel about myself throughout |
| 0:51.6 | the day. But we will get into all of that in the episode, |
| 0:54.2 | but also to hear about what it's like styling celebrities and what goes into something like |
| 1:00.3 | a press tour. She just did all of Anne Hathaway's looks for the Devil Wears Prada too, or what goes |
| 1:06.2 | into the Metball and how she works with some of the biggest names in Hollywood from, like I said, |
| 1:12.4 | Anne Hathaway to Selena Gomez, to Sarah Jessica Parker, so many more in her repertoire over |
| 1:19.3 | the years. She's become known for creating looks that feel incredibly chic, modern, and personal, |
| 1:24.7 | rather than just trend-driven. And in this episode, we get into what actually |
| 1:28.9 | goes into building iconic red carpet and press tour looks, the psychology behind personal |
| 1:34.2 | style. She's really into psychology, which is so fascinating to hear how she marries the two, |
| 1:40.6 | and why fashion is so much more than something superficial. So we talk about how she |
| 1:45.6 | approaches styling A-list clients by focusing first on how they want to feel. The differences |
| 1:50.3 | between styling a one-off red carpet like the Oscars versus an entire press tour, what prep for |
| 1:56.4 | something like the Met Gallo really looks like behind the scenes, and the fashion rules that she |
| 2:00.4 | thinks are outdated. |
