MY STYLIST IS ...

Credit: Jesse Grant/Wireimage

trusts her style sense – enough to go it on her own. “I’m not currently working with a stylist. I have been lucky to work with many great ones and learn what I like, how to put things together and what works for my body.” The exception? “I only work with a stylist if I have no time, am going on a press junket and need many, many outfits. Or, if I need an amazing dress for a big event!”

“I used to only wear a smoky eye when I felt a bit tough, but lately I’ve been into a soft eye with a fierce lip color!,” Hilary tells StyleWatch. And she’s right on trend with the season’s moodier shades. “I’m always into red, but I’ve been liking deep purple, plum colors too!”

I ALWAYS LOOK FOR A BARGAIN ON ...

Hilary may invest on certain wardrobe staples (like her Hermés Birkin), but says she skimps on “layering tanks, tees and sometimes cardigans and sweaters. They are only good for so long anyway, you might as well splurge somewhere else!”
