Getting dressed isn’t just about clothes, it’s emotional, it’s personal, and it’s one of the most powerful tools we have to step into who we want to be. So how do we actually use it?

I’m joined by Erin Walsh, the stylist behind some of the most iconic women in Hollywood, Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez, Mindy Kaling, and the mind behind Anne’s unforgettable Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour.

Fresh off last night’s New York premiere, Erin walks us through what it actually takes to build a press tour of this scale, the Easter eggs, the Valentino Rockstud comeback, the meta moments, and why every look comes back to one question: how do you want to feel?

We also get into Erin’s CREATE method from her upcoming book The Art of Intention, and how the same tools she uses on red carpets can transform how any of us get dressed every single day.

In this episode, we get into:

What “intentional dressing” really means and how to actually do it
The 3-word rule Erin uses with every client
How to find your style “superpower” and lean into it
Why clothes are emotional, and what to do when your closet feels like a stranger
How to get out of a style rut
Inside the Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour: the references, the collaborations, the chaos
The Valentino Rockstud comeback and why it actually works
How Erin handles real-time criticism on the biggest carpets in the world
Why fashion is moving back toward joy, from Matthieu at Chanel to Selena at the Golden Globes
The “supernova” mindset Michael Kors gave her 20 years ago
What’s actually in a stylist’s toolkit and the brands she swears by
Her go-to jeans, white tee, and blazer, and where to shop each one
The fastest way to elevate any outfit instantly
