KENYA WARE: The Truth About Styling Celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Daz, Kurupt and More

Part 2 of our exclusive sit-down with Kenya Ware — celebrity stylist, costume designer, producer, and a key behind-the-scenes creative from the legendary Death Row Records era.

Before styling icons of West Coast hip hop, Kenya’s journey started far from the spotlight. She shares how seeing Janet Jackson on the set of Good Times sparked her love for fashion, working retail at Nordstrom, and how hustle and opportunity eventually led her to Death Row Records, where she began styling Snoop Dogg and artists during the golden age of 90s rap.

We also dive into Kenya’s professional growth in television and film, including joining the union, working wardrobe and costume departments on MTV’s Undressed and the hit sitcom Girlfriends, and how those experiences sharpened her skills and opened doors that shaped the career she has today.

Kenya breaks down the real difference between “looks” vs. true style, how 90s hip hop fashion compares to today’s trends, and gives insider gems on how she prepares and builds a look for celebrities. From Death Row to Hollywood sets, this is a masterclass in style, hustle, and longevity in the entertainment industry.
