Celebrity stylist AccordingtoAdeS talks working with Yara Shahidi, dressing Khalid, and the best lesson Kelly Rowland ever taught her.
The stylist Ade Samuel has lived many lives within the fashion industry. Before styling the likes of Khalid, Yara Shahidi, Kelly Rowland, and working on the looks for Beyoncé’smusic video, the Bronx, New York native got her start as an assistant fashion editor at Teen Vogue, where she had the opportunity to work with styling heavy hitters like Heathermary Jackson and Alex White .
We met toward the end of 2015, and I started in 2016 with her. She was really green and trying to expand. We met during an Essence magazine shoot—the one with Johnetta Elzie, Teyonah Parris, and Yara, where Essence coined and put in print for the first time ever this thing called Black Girl Magic. Yara and I hit it off on set, and I remember her mom being like, “We would love for you to introduce her to the world of fashion.
I started working with Khalid—I acquired him as a new client during that time, which kept me busy. I also did a lot of on-camera moderation and group panels. During the pandemic, we also saw a heightened awareness with equality, especially among Black people and people of color. So with that, I was a part of a lot of panels where we talked about the changes that were needed.
