Today I’m slightly shifting gears and sharing the essentials I always carry in my styling kit—aka every item I need the day of any red carpet or red carpet fitting. From the surprising way I use a roll of ribbon to the $3 item that saves any wardrobe mishap, everything you need to prep a styling kit is available below and on Amazon so you can receive in record time if you’re ever in a pinch. Ahead shop the essentials that are always in my styling kit.
