Meet in-demand celebrity stylist Dara Allen: the trans fashionista is behind Addison Rae's and Hunter Schafer's edgy red carpet looks – but she still dreams of dressing Britney Spears
Addison Rae 's transformation is complete. The 24-year-old, who initially rose to fame on TikTok, has metamorphosed into a bona fide pop superstar – and her personal style has come along for the ride thanks to one celebrity stylist in particular: Dara Allen. The cover of Rae's debut album, Addison, sees her sporting a tight, tie-dye yellow-orange dress, which was personally designed by Allen.

When Rae appeared at last year's MTV Video Music Awards, Allen styled her in a misshapen white satin bra and pants and paired them with a voluminous tulle bustle – a look that caused a huge stir online. Allen told Harper's Bazaar that her inspiration for the outfit was a combination of Rae's favourite pieces from her 'Diet Pepsi' music video, and the trailblazing looks debuted at previous VMAs by the likes of Madonna (see the Material Girl's bridal look at the 1984 awards). Most importantly, Allen says, it was Rae's personality that held it all together: 'If you're that comfortable in your body, why cover it up with clothes?' Addison Rae wears a white panties and bra set with feather details, paired with a white tulle bustle and white peep-toe shoes, as designed by Dara Allen.

Dara Allen wears a white dress with white capri pants and a long train. Photo: @dara._/Instagram Allen has in fact been a key figure behind several stars' headline-grabbing outfits in recent years. Here's what else you need to know about the stylist. She also creates stunning looks for Hunter Schafer
