Ariana Armendariz is a freelance wardrobe costumer and stylist based in Los Angeles. She specializes in commercial, TV, music, and celebrity styling.

Ariana graduated from FIDM in 2007, but got an early start to her styling career during her final year at school when she was hired to work on Justin Timberlake’s FutureSex/LoveSounds tour. Since then, she has helped style artists like Chris Brown, Neyo, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna for tours and award shows.

While she has a knack for styling men and up-and-coming celebrities, her love of fashion and style goes well beyond the red carpet. She has worked on major network television shows like Modern Family and American Idol (Season 12 and 13), as well as successful commercial campaigns for national brands such as NBA2K, Walmart, Volkswagen, H&R Block, and Wendy’s. She has also worked with charities like Stand Up to Cancer and It’s On Us.

Ariana is a member of the Motion Picture Costumers local union 705.
