Eleven aspiring fashionistas compete for an editorial job at Elle magazine by performing assistant tasks and editorial assignments for the magazine's fashion news director, Anne Slowey. Each week Anne fires one contestant, until the last assistant standing receives a grand prize valued at $100,000: an editorial position at Elle, a paid lease on a Manhattan apartment and a clothing allowance at H&M, all for one year.

Critics Consensus

... the contestants are full-blown neurotics, and neophytes to boot: They're so young, inexperienced, and catty that they're difficult to like and even harder to watch. Go to Full Review Linda Stasi New York Post 10/10/2019
Stylista is the latest fake but very entertaining, fashion-is-life "reality" show. Go to Full Review Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune 10/10/2019
Any show that involves New York City, fashion and contestants saying things such as, "She's the devil's spawn" is an open invitation for you to grab a bowl of ice cream and come along for the ride. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred 04/02/2020

But at its best moments, Stylista only reaches the level of America's Next Top Model-which may help it find an audience, even if the bar for talent competitions with actual consequence has been set much higher. Go to Full Review Linda Herrick New Zealand Herald 10/10/2019
As someone whose favourite item of clothing in the comfort of my own home is my dad's old dressing gown, I can't profess to any great fashion expertise, but I'm loving Stylista. Go to Full Review Maisy Fernandez MTV 10/10/2019
Personally, I'm interested enough in the subject matter that I'll probably give it a whirl. I'm just crossing my fingers that it becomes a little more about work and less mean-spirited. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
