About Celebrity & Personal Styling
I live for those moments when a look just clicks - whether it’s a wild red carpet night or a quiet shoot with chai in hand. My work swings between crazy deadlines and those rare, peaceful hours where ideas come together. That’s the real magic for me.
What I Do
- I style for everything from international film festivals to personal shoots that mean everything to you.
- Red carpet styling for celebrities is a big part of my world - like taking Anushka Sen to Cannes or creating a buzzworthy look for Ahsaas Channa at the Heeramandi screening.
- I also love the not-so-glam side: magazine covers, music videos, birthday shoots, and those promo tours where every outfit has to tell a story.
How I Work
- Sometimes, the perfect outfit just doesn’t exist. I’ve built custom looks from scratch, like a disco-inspired sequined dress for Zeenat Aman in just 36 hours.
- My process is a bit tedha (a little unconventional), but it’s always about teamwork and trust.
- I’m big on sustainable fashion styling and love mixing new trends with classic Indian textiles. That upcycled Banarasi saree dress for Times Square? Still one of my proudest moments.
What Matters Most
- I want you to feel like your best self, whether you’re on a global stage or just making memories for yourself.
- If the fit’s right and you feel amazing, that’s a win for me.

My Story
Sometimes I still can’t believe it, yaar. Was just a girl talking to the stars, now my work’s on the Cannes red carpet. Watching Anushka Sen shine there? Pure magic. This year, I finally opened my studio, Style by Kayal - A-505, right here in Mumbai. My heart’s in this studio, between crazy deadlines and silly mirror selfies. Whether I’m styling legends or just myself, it’s about that ‘just right’ feeling.
My Work
What I Do - I’m a freelance fashion stylist and brand consultant - red carpet celebrity styling, editorial fashion shoots, commercial campaign styling, magazine covers.
How I Work - It’s all about collaboration. I want to create core memory outfit moments, not just pretty looks.
Who I Click With - Best work happens with people who trust the process and want to make something special together.
The Real Studio Life - Not always glam. Lots of coffee, comfy clothes, chaos, and hours of planning behind every look.
