She has dressed everyone from Julianne Moore to Charlize Theron and Reese Witherspoon, and is responsible for Scarlett Johansson's ever-impressive wardrobe of sultry gowns.
You may not know her by name, but that's about to change. Leslie Fremar has knocked off Rachel Zoe and Kate Young to take the position as Hollywood's most powerful stylist.
The New York-based stylist, 36, told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I stick to my instincts, and if something gets me really excited when I see it initially, I know it’s going to be a home run.'

With a near-flawless red-carpet track record, Ms Fremar was ranked above her peers thanks to her loyal A-list clientele and long-term working relationships with some of the fashion industry’s most sought-after designers.
The Toronto-born mother-of-two first worked at Vogue as Anna Wintour’s assistant, before becoming fashion director Tonne Goodman’s assistant.
She said: 'It was around 2003 that Vogue started putting celebrities on the covers, and I was the assistant on those shoots.'
Julianne Moore's yellow ensemble at the Emmy Awards last year was Raf Simons for Dior Couture¿s red-carpet debut

Ms Fremar went on to work as director of VIP relations at Prada, where she met Salma Hayek, who asked her to help pull together a glamorous wardrobe for the Cannes Film Festival.
Impressed, the actress' manager introduced Ms Fremar to Julianna Moore, and she has been styling on her own ever since.
The Hollywood reporter ranking also features Petra Flannery, who placed second and is guiding young stars Emma Stone and Hailee Steinfeld, as well as Zoe Saldana and Mila Kunis.

Rachel Zoe made the third spot, down from her number one post two years ago.
A celebrity in her own right (her Bravo reality show, The Rachel Zoe Project, is in its fifth season), Ms Zoe dressed both Anna Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence for last month's Academy Awards ceremony.
Kate Young, the former Vogue editor behind Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams' stylish red-carpet looks, also appeared in the top 25, as did Jen Rade, who has long worked with Angelina Jolie.

And newcomer Joseph Cassell, ranked number 13, landed his gig styling Taylor Swift by showing up well prepared for a steam-and-press job at a shoot for the then up-and-coming country singer.
Miss Swift recalled: 'Joseph arrived with a full wardrobe of options and shoes, which was a good thing because the stylist at the shoot had dropped the ball.'
She immediately hit it off with Mr Cassell, and he has been dressing her exclusively ever since.
Meanwhile, Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, who just took on Kim Kardashian as a client, also dress the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Sophia Vergara. The duo ranked eighth and also cover one of The Hollywood reporter's four covers for the special issue.
