Hollywood Fashion Stylist Sam Saboura

Sam Saboura has made his mark as a top Hollywood stylist and as television’s original makeover authority. He believes that style should be approachable, unintimidating, and easy to understand—as much for the real person as for the high-profile celebrity.

His passion for style began at the age of 8 when he experimented with makeovers on anyone who’d stand still long enough. Then, he launched his professional career as the personal shopper and manager of The Jean Store at the famed Fred Segal, LA’s most exclusive specialty boutique. For several years, he remained Hollywood’s best-kept secret, dressing many of the world’s most visible stars—including Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston, and Brad Pitt—who came to rely on his extraordinary eye and impeccable sense of style.

In 2003, Saboura joined the cast of ABC’s Extreme Makeover. As the host of this international hit series, he led an elite team of professionals who transformed the looks—and lives—of individuals throughout the country. With his warm personality, sharp sense of humour and tough-love approach to self-improvement, he quickly established himself as one of television’s leading style experts, endearing him to millions of fans worldwide. Extreme Makeover remains a global television sensation, airing in more than 100 countries.

Saboura continues to bring his own brand of fashion expertise to television, offering commentary at red-carpet events, award shows and on popular news and entertainment programs. As an on-camera host and fashion authority, he provides style insight that is practical, constructive and highly entertaining.

He is a regular guest and featured expert on The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Talk, Extra, Access Hollywood and E!. In addition to years of experience as a writer and fashion editor, Saboura has contributed to national publications, including Us Weekly, People, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Life and Style, The Daily Mail, USA Today and The New York Times.

In 2005, Clarkson Potter published his best-selling book, Sam Saboura’s Real Style: Style Secrets for Real Women with Real Bodies. A year later, a companion workbook, My Real Style: A Makeover Journal, was released.

As the host of TLC’s hit wedding series Something Borrowed, Something New, part of the network’s popular bridal line-up, Saboura addresses the classic wedding dilemma: should the bride wear a beloved family heirloom or buy a new dress that fits her own sense of style? SBSN became an overnight success and is currently streaming on Discovery Plus.

Today, Saboura can be seen on Access Daily, the daytime syndicated series from Access Hollywood and NBC. Each week he brings the latest fashion trends and celebrity style news to millions of viewers around the country with his highly rated segment, Sam’s Style List.

After over a decade on television as one of home shopping’s most beloved brand ambassadors, Saboura is thrilled to announce his new role as Creative Director of DG2 by Diane Gilman on TVSN.

"I'm honored and grateful to be joining the Diane Gilman family and to share my love of fashion and style with the TVSN customer. Like many of you, I've watched and admired Diane's work for decades on television and followed her incredible career in fashion. I can't wait to get to know our Diane Gilman ladies Down Under, and for them to see all the new and exciting styles we have coming up this season.”

Saboura lives in Los Angeles, California, where he remains in high demand as a personal stylist for celebrities in the film, television, and music industries and works extensively as a freelance wardrobe designer, style expert and host.
