We caught up with Clémentine behind the scenes at Dancing with the Stars to find out what it takes to dress the stars.
"Jennifer is our new host and she is amazing," says Clem. "She has a lovely sense of personal style as is. She's quite quirky and unusual and she's just got a great sense of style so to start with that is amazing.
"She's like a breath of fresh air, I think I'm going to have a lot of fun styling her for the whole series, we're going to have a lot of surprises.

Jennifer Zamparelli
Jennifer and Clémentine met before Christmas to discuss the different styles and brands that they both had in mind for the show. Soon after, Clém went to work and the two had a full-blown day of dress up.
"We did a huge fitting where I'd say we tried 40 outfits and from that, we took what we liked and went for camera testing."
In the end, Clém settled on a mix of high street and designer pieces and says that we can expect some "unique" pieces including "jumpsuits, sequins, and a whole load of everything".

Nicky's Byrne
Westlife star Nicky Byrne has gone bigger and bolder this season, wearing everything from red velvet and blue prints to sparkling sequins.
"I think we've really upped it again," agreed Clém. "As the years go on, he's like 'yeah, I'll wear that' and 'I'll chance this'. We opened with that red, velvet Zara [jacket] last week and I think it made a real impact. He's open to being different, which I like."
Although the stylist mostly hits the high-street to dress the TV presenter, she revealed that all of his ensembles are tailored before the show.
"We tailor everything so that it fits him perfectly. It's off the rack but then it's fitted to him and that makes it show-worthy and he looks really slick and really finished."

Judge Jules
As hard as they try, there is not a single celebrity, dancer, host, judge or audience member who could upstage Judge Julian MacDonald. We asked Clém where he finds his show stopping suits.
"I picked up his jacket from Claire Garvey who designs most of his jackets. I just couldn't get over it! [...] She's an incredible designer and kudos to her for creating such amazing pieces."
