Ade Samuel Biography

Ade Samuel is a Nigerian-American celebrity stylist and creative director recognized for her culture-infused approach to fashion styling. Samuel is known for incorporating bright colors, patterns, and innovative prints, blending influences from New York and her African heritage. She holds a dual degree in fashion merchandising and textile technology from Buffalo State College, as well as a degree in advertising and marketing from the Fashion Institute of Technology. Samuel began her career in the fashion departments of W and Teen Vogue before assisting stylists such as Cher Coulter, Simone Harouche, and Shiona Turini, including work on Beyoncé's "Formation" music video.

Through a referral from Nicole Richie, Samuel collaborated with Simone Harouche on styling Christina Aguilera during her time on "The Voice" and Miley Cyrus during the "Wrecking Ball" era. After establishing her solo career, Samuel has styled clients including Letitia Wright, Justine Skye, Cynthia Erivo, and Michael B. Jordan. She gained attention for styling Michael B. Jordan in a floral Louis Vuitton harness for the SAG Awards and for her contributions to the visual direction of Beyoncé's "Formation" video. Samuel's first major solo project involved styling Yara Shahidi for an Essence magazine cover that introduced the term Black Girl Magic, which led to a viral moment with Big Sean at the Grammys.

Based in Los Angeles, Samuel works across magazine covers, editorials, music videos, commercials, live performances, and red carpet events. Her creative direction includes the "Africa's New Wave" editorial and the Teen Vogue July/August covers, photographed by Stephen Tayo. Samuel's work has appeared in Vogue, Teen Vogue, W Magazine, CR Fashion Book, ELLE, and Glamour. She is also the founder and designer of Ade Samuel Shoes.

Samuel has received recognition as Stylist of the Year by Harlem's Fashion Row and was named a Rising Star to Watch by The Hollywood Reporter, appearing on their Stylists of the Year list. She was also honored as the Shadow and Act Rising Awards Digital winner in the behind-the-scenes category. In addition to her client work, Samuel advocates for increased visibility and equal opportunities for Black creatives in the fashion industry, including stylists, makeup artists, and hairstylists. She emphasizes the importance of building a brand and business within the fashion and creative industries.
