Sofia Andres may only be 24 years old, but the young actress and celebrity mom has already established herself as one of the industry’s most stylish stars. With her feminine and elegant way of dressing on and off the carpet, Sofia exudes a timeless sophistication while still putting her own contemporary spin on her style.
That’s not to say the star doesn’t like trying out different aesthetics. Her frequent travels have found her donning various styles, from chic menswear-inspired ensembles for a winter in Madrid to fresh and summery OOTDs under the Italian sun.
Of course, Sofia didn’t achieve her style maven status all on her own! Behind most of her head-turning looks is her go-to stylist, Steph Aparici. Since the duo’s fateful meeting more than a year ago, Steph and Sofia’s relationship has seamlessly transitioned from being just colleagues to genuine friends. And as time went on, the celeb stylist has definitely grasped Sofia’s personal style down to a T.
In an exclusive interview with Preview, Steph shares some insider info on what it’s really like being Sofia’s fashion stylist. Keep on scrolling below!
