While Lukas Gage is making his way up the Hollywood ladder as an up-and-coming actor, his boyfriend, Chris Appleton, has already made his mark as a renowned hairstylist to the stars. Hailing from the UK, the experienced creative first gained recognition for his work in various editorial spreads and at runway shows. However, it didn’t take long for his work to catch the attention of pop superstar Rita Ora, whom he collaborated with for a few years. “I worked with her one day, and then she never let go of me; she just kept me for two years, and we travelled all over,” Appleton explained to Grazia.

Due to his work relationship with Ora, the English stylist was thrust even further into the spotlight, resulting in him working with pop culture icons like Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, and Kim Kardashian. When reflecting on his years as an acclaimed stylist, Appleton told The Cut that his career has been led by his passion for making anyone — celebrity or not — “look their best.” “The main objective is I love what I do, and I really genuinely want to make people look their best,” he explained to the publication. “I started doing this because I realized I had this ability to give people something that was like emotional medicine.” In addition to his career as a hair stylist, Appleton is also the Global Creative Director of Color Wow Hair.
