We're forever impressed by the work celebrity stylists do, but honestly, it pales in comparison to the serious prep, planning, and man-hours that go into getting a singer ready for a tour that'll last months and months. It's a challenge that costume designer Marina Toybina knows, having worked with singers like Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry (she won an Emmy for working on the latter's Super Bowl halftime show, natch). Most recently she just finished crafting the looks for her second mega-tour with Underwood; you can see the stylish fruits of their labor right now on The Storyteller Tour, keeping the country star busy through July. "With this tour we were able to work closely with multiple designers to manipulate each piece to make it tour-ready," she explained, revealing that everything is made after a sketch is reviewed. "Only one is made and from there we do multiple fittings. After we agree on it, I go through and re-customize to make sure it's the right length and embellish it to make it the best it can be."
