2. Tan France

It would be a shame if this member of Queer Eye's makeover dream team only contained all his charm and style knowledge to the hit Netflix show. Luckily, he doesn't!

In 2018, the British-born stylist launched his own YouTube channel, delighting fans with two Queer Eye-esque makeover series. In Dressing Funny, he styles the funniest comedians in Hollywood, including Ali Wong, Tina Fey, and Pete Davidson. However, his latest videos for Makeover with Tan are particularly compelling as he surprises essential workers with a well-deserved rest and makeover. 

Great for: Tan France is a godsend for fashion beginners because he doesn't try to convince people to change their entire wardrobe and style persona. Instead, he provides easy style advice on how to elevate their everyday looks, explaining his thought process behind each tip. And if his guest wants to try a more experimental fashion look, he often suggests non-intimidating starter pieces.
