Brittany Broski credits collaboration with her stylist, Kat Typaldos, for the glamorous getups she rocks on the red carpet. But before she found a trusted friend in fashion, Broski was surprised to experience how outdated beauty standards threatened her wardrobe.
The podcast host, 27, spoke to PEOPLE about her initiative with White Claw to help connect friends by any means necessary during the holidays, and she also looked back on some of her looks at recent A-list events.
When dressing for the carpet, Broski says her stylist’s expertise as “a freaking visionary genius” has been crucial, especially as they experiment with new types of material. It’s not just about wearing something pretty, says the Streamy Award winner. Typaldos also finds pieces that match Broski’s personality.

“She just completely gets it. She gets me, she gets this off-the-beaten-path thing that we’re doing,” the Royal Court host explains. She adds that it’s especially exciting to dress up for premieres like Gladiator II and House of the Dragon season 2, where Broski stepped out in garb that matched the “theme” or “time period” of the media shown.
“It’s like, ‘Finally, we get to have fun.’ It’s not just like, ‘Look beautiful,'” shares Broski, who is one of PEOPLE’s 2024 Creators of the Year. “You can look beautiful and you can look cool.”
Typaldos’ approach was a welcome change from Broski’s previous work with other stylists, who “did not dress my body type well,” she notes. “They were pulling beautiful garments for a thin woman, not for me.”
The podcaster continues, “You would be amazed how difficult it is to find stylists in Hollywood America that can dress a curvy body, like a plus-sized fat woman … Truly, when you think about it, it’s 2024. Why is it so difficult to find interesting, new, stylish fashion that fits bigger bodies? There is no excuse today.”

And while Broski and Typaldos do have a lot of fun draping ancient-inspired fabrics to fit a movie’s “theme,” the viral star says they never sacrifice the aspects that make the material “glamorous” and “interesting.”
“I think that that’s a through line through a lot of the stuff I do,” says Broski of her red carpet couture. “It’s campy and it’s silly and it’s fun, but it’s also really cool and interesting and grounded in an understanding of fashion and my body and what looks great and what’s a risk to take.”
