Kate Bosworth's stylist, Cher Coulter, is not only her dear friend, but also her creative partner at JewelMint. And the duo are quite the dynamic team. "I tend to be more classical, minimalist, and Cher is braver," Kate told us at a recent JewelMint press breakfast. "The combination between the two gives a great blend."

But Cher's other job is stylist for Hollywood's It girls like Kate, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Elizabeth Olsen, whom she dressed for the Critics' Choice Awards and Independent Spirit Awards. Cher was also responsible for Nicole Richie's look at the Golden Globes and Kate Bosworth at Sundance. "I tend to dress people that are into fashion more than film," Cher told us.

So what are the first steps she takes when a client hires her? "First of all, go get images and just look at every picture of them," Cher revealed.

We're thrilled to present our favorite InStyle story here on Fab!

Kate Bosworth has teamed up with celebrity stylist and pal Cher Coulter to create JewelMint.com, a Web site that mixes social networking and (what else?) shopping. Launching today, the site, which features an exclusive collection of fun baubles designed by the twosome, greets members with a style quiz. But answer carefully! Based off your choices, the JewelMint.com team will pick four pieces from the collection each month for you that they think fit your aesthetic. Share the items with friends on Facebook or Twitter to get their thoughts before you decide to buy and give feedback to them about their chosen pieces too. Membership to the site costs $29.99 per month, but you’ll end up saving a bundle because the accessories themselves are sold for 70 percent below retail value.

>> Kate Bosworth's Stylist Cher Coulter on Being Snubbed by Peter Pilotto —In a feature on stylists in Vogue UK's June 2010 issue, British stylist Cher Coulter, who went to Central Saint Martins and regularly works with Kate Bosworth, Sienna Miller, Liv Tyler, and Emily Mortimer, noted of her red carpet choices: "I like to support the British designers, I do. Like when we put Kate in that pink Preen dress it helped them, I mean, beyond with sales. But I get frustrated with some of them. Like with this dress I'd called in from Peter Pilotto. It didn't work on Kate, so I asked if I could use it on one of my other girls who was going to all the [Oscar] parties. They said no, that didn't work for them, and I felt like saying, get over it boys!" [TFS]
