The Stylist Behind Young Hollywood's Coolest Looks
'Even when I think my schedule is chill, it usually isn't,' stylist Jared Ellner says from his home base of Los Angeles, where he's just returned after a stint in Europe. For the past few weeks, he's been juggling a slate of overlapping international projects, including the wardrobe for

A self-proclaimed fashion nerd who grew up in suburban New Jersey, Ellner fed his obsession by taking sewing lessons and studying both fashion and art history. He enrolled at Parsons for fashion design, where he built his stamina for sleepless working nights. After college, he took an assistant gig at the now-defunct

magazine. The first shoot he styled solo featured Chamberlain; about a year later, her publicist called to ask if he'd consider working with her full-time.
Ellner has a track record of taking a client from fashion newbie to front-row fixture. A prime example is Chamberlain, who signed on as a Louis Vuitton ambassador—a first for a YouTube-native talent—in 2019. The two worked together on a handful of projects before her first Met Gala in 2021. 'Things got much more serious after that,' he recalls. (They are so close that Chamberlain modeled Ellner's self-titled fashion line when it launched this past fall.)

Sennott was his second client, a connection made by their mutual friend (and her

co-star) Gordon. He styled Sennott for the movie's premiere—her first time working with a stylist. 'We were so green, and now she's a Balenciaga [campaign star],' he says.
Ellner's encyclopedic fashion knowledge informs his work, and he's unafraid to drop an archival reference—a styling tactic that has sparked heated discourse among fans online. 'I think people are rightfully fatigued by it, so it's a balance of figuring out when it feels authentic, impactful, and useful, and when it feels like a crutch,' he explains. His favorite nod to the past thus far?

Styling is intimate and requires intense vulnerability, so when it comes to Ellner's clients, the lines often blur between the personal and professional. 'I am so comfortable and productive with Jared, because the foundation of our relationship is friendship rather than business,' Chamberlain says of their partnership. 'We are not afraid to disagree and voice our opinions, because we trust the bond we have, which allows us to truly collaborate.' Gordon echoes this sentiment, saying, 'Jared is so giving, warm, and kind, but he has a cutting honesty that I trust 100 percent.'
'The sweetest part of the job is that all of these people feel comfortable allowing me into such personal parts of their physicality, their image, and their communication of themselves to the world,' Ellner says. With his long-term clients, he enjoys helping to curate an overall image that goes beyond just a year or two of looks. 'The balance of styling is keeping everybody in their zone while also allowing the freedom to experiment and be a different person for a day, without feeling inconsistent with their personal brand,' he explains. A recent moody turn he's proud of is Chamberlain's Oscar after-party look, which might just be his favorite: a

Another important through line for Ellner's clients? While they're all serious talents, they don't take themselves too seriously. 'There are a lot of people who would not be comfortable taking a risk or doing anything even slightly off-kilter for a major moment,' he says. 'But all my girls—they're fearless.'

The Bhopal-born professional cricketer and fitness influencer has carved his niche not just on the field but in the hearts of thousands who look up to him for motivation, wellness, and self-discipline.

Video does not show astronaut exposing 'fake' life in space
"Former Astronaut Karen Nyberg Shows How NASA Fakes Space Flights.." a June 16, 2025 post on X claimed. It shares a video of a woman in front of a space station-like backdrop watching a chip bag float away from her, side-by-side with the same footage being filmed in front of a green screen. A person in a green body suit is manipulating the bag. The video garnered thousands of interactions in posts on X, Threads, Instagram and Facebook. The clip also circulated in posts making similar claims about Nyberg in French, Spanish and Italian. Nyberg is a retired NASA astronaut who completed two spaceflights during her career, including a 166-day stay on the ISS in 2013 (archived here). But she is not the woman in the green screen video. Comments on the post on X included links to previous debunks from USA Today and PolitiFact who named the woman in the video as Paige Windle. In the clip, a person off-camera is heard calling the woman Paige. Windle is the founder of a lifestyle management company and the wife of David Weiss, known online as "Flat Earth Dave," the host of "The Flat Earth Podcast." Contacted by AFP, Weiss confirmed Windle is the one on-camera. "This video never dies. It keeps coming back," Weiss said in a June 17 email. The video was originally posted on Weiss's YouTube channel as part of a series titled "Globebusters," but made no mention of Nyberg (archived here). "Someone took that clip and presented it as Karen Nyberg and it went viral a bunch of times and now it has started again," he said. He said he has repeatedly addressed the false use of the video, sharing with AFP the cover image of a YouTube video he posted in response to the false viral claims (archived here). Astronauts onboard the ISS experience microgravity, causing them and objects to float (archived here). At the altitude of the ISS, gravity is 90 percent of the total gravity one feels on Earth, but an absence of air resistance causes all objects in the ISS to fall at the same rate, producing a weightless appearance. The ISS stays afloat because it moves at a speed that matches the curve of the Earth, causing it to "fall around" the planet while staying at roughly the same altitude. The moon's orbit works in a similar way. NASA uses the ISS in part to study how extended time periods in microgravity and other conditions in space impact the human body as it prepares for future long-term missions in space. On her website, Nyberg features a video she recorded on the ISS where she worked on a quilt (archived here). Unlike in the video filmed in front of the green screen, Nyberg's hair and necklace float throughout the clip due to the microgravity conditions. AFP reached out to Nyberg's representative for comment, but a response was not forthcoming. AFP has previously debunked claims that ISS astronauts faked a video from the station.
