A Man's Gotta Eat...
Hours before the Oscars, stylist Julie Ragolia told E! News she may have caught LaKeith Stanfield eating a burger in his Oscars attire... to be fair, she did tell him not to change as she ran out to grab some watches.
It was later revealed that the Oscar nominee wore a custom Saint Laurent look by the brand's creative director, Anthony Vaccarello.
I Think We Need a Jacket Here
E! News got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how celebrity stylists have been working with their 2021 Oscar-nominated clients remotely amid the coronavirus pandemic.
This is a photo of the many jackets Julie Ragolia, stylist to Oscar nominees LaKeith Stanfield and Riz Ahmed and his wife, Fatima Farheen Mirza, has been contemplating for her clients.
Handmade Pin
Julie Ragolia shows an accessory possibility for Riz Ahmed, who is nominated for an Oscar for his leading role in Sound of Metal: A handmade pin made by one of the artisans at the Senhoa Foundation, an organization that uses jewelry as a means to rehabilitate and reintegrate survivors of human trafficking and those vulnerable to sexual exploitation.
"He's so aware of the world around him," Julie tells E! News about the actor. "So, presenting him with things that have greater meaning beyond just aesthetic is and has always been a big part of how we work together."

All Smiles
LaKeith Stanfield, who is nominated for an Oscar for his role in Judas and the Black Messiah, models an outfit in an updated pic Julie Ragolia shares with E! News.
"With Lakeith, where we're always quite playful and you can definitely expect that there will be a similar sense of playfulness," she reveals of the actor's Oscars 2021 style plan, "but at the same time, being very conscious of the fact that this is a difficult time for many. There's this constant balance between being respectful to the times and yet being celebratory of a very dynamic, interesting wonderful moment for him."
Your Turn
How the magic is done! Julie prepares to take a self portrait, with the help of a tripod and iPad. She credits her team for helping her navigate styling amid the COVID-19 pandemic, saying, "I really wouldn't have done half as much as I've done if it weren't for them and their commitment and their patience."
She also reveals, "I've been fitting Riz and Lakeith through Zoom throughout this entire award season and through the press for both of their films, we've been doing everything remotely. I miss them both so much."
