Kiwi star KJ Apa was convinced by co-star and best friend Cole Sprouse to get a stylist after admitting he was in serious need of fashion advice.
Talking to Men's Health magazine, the Riverdale star revealed he needed to step up his appearances as he was making more and more red carpet appearances.
"I was showing up to red carpets in jeans and button-down T-shirts," the Kiwi star explained.
"I realised, yeah, I've got to get this sorted out."

Since getting a stylist, Apa has found a love for fashion but admitted to the fitness magazine that he has become an impulsive shopper.
"I'm a very instinctual shopper, and very impulsive," he said.
"I'll go out, I'll see something, I don't even try it on. I just buy it."
The CW star went on to provide some advice for other men at odds with their fashion.
"Confidence is everything. Otherwise, everyone can see you look uncomfortable, and it's not a good look.
"It's important to give yourself balance, which is still something I'm trying to learn."
