Who is Jess Pecoraro? Meet the celebrity stylist behind Jackie ‘O’ Henderson’s image overhaul

Must read

She’s one of Australia’s most in-demand stylists.

And Jess Pecoraro has been the woman revealed to be responsible for Jackie ‘O’ Henderson‘s incredible style transformation over the years.

The Sydney-based celebrity fashion stylist has dressed some of Australia’s biggest names, including AFL WAG Jesinta Franklin, Zoe-Foster Blake, model Georgia Fowler, singer Delta Goodrem and P.E Nation co-founder Pip Edwards — to name a few.

Jess attended the launch of Nadia Bartel‘s Henne Sydney store in Paddington on Thursday night, wearing a gorgeous large black overcoat complete with a black turtleneck top, black trousers and loafers.

She attended the event alongside Jackie, who turned heads in a delicate, see-through white lace blouse paired with a sleek white mini skirt.

The intricate lace design of the blouse added a touch of elegance, while the mini skirt accentuated her toned legs.

Jackie completed her outfit with strappy white heels and a small white handbag.

Her blonde hair was styled in loose waves, and her makeup was similarly minimal, emphasising her natural beauty.

Jess has arranged looks for Jackie for some time, even prior to her impressive 18kg weight loss.

It has lead to Jackie appearing multiple times on the High End fashion Facebook group, with members praising the star and demanding where her designer pieces are from. 

‘Jackie O’s stylist strikes again!’ one user wrote, asking what brand her black dress and dark grey blazer were.

‘Ok is this jacket DIISH? I need it,’ another asked. 

‘Can someone please help me ID her boots?’ another added on a photo of Jackie at VIVID in Sydney with Pip Edwards. ‘I’ve tried Google Images with no luck.’

The Kyle & Jackie O Show co-host has swapped her daggy and baggy outfits of the past for sleek and sexy ensembles.

She wowed for her 49th birthday party in February and even the 2023 Logie Awards.

For her birthday boat party, the blonde beauty put on a leggy display in a $595 Christopher Esber T-shirt which featured ‘crushed’ fabric and ripe bananas printed on the front.

She paired her look with a micro mini-skirt of the same design, which retails at $495.

Accessorising with bright yellow sunglasses, Jackie also rocked nude strappy heels and a small white handbag.

For the Logies last year, Jess styled Jackie in a stunning red strapless gown by Effie Kats, Billini heels and a black Ferragamo handbag.

Since Jackie’s weight loss, Jess noticed the radio queen exudes more confidence than ever before and is finally being recognised in the Australian fashion scene.

‘All the fashion crowd is noticing her and Jackie deserves all the attention she has been getting,’ she previously told the Sunday Telegraph.

‘She is excited to experiment with new brands and new designers. She is invested in the fashion now, which I love as a stylist.’

The 49-year-old has appeared multiple times on the High End fashion Facebook group, with its members praising the star and demanding where her designer pieces are from

Jess even styled Jackie for her unique looks while she was a judge on Channel 10’s The Masked Singer back in 2021.

She previously opened up in an interview about working with the star about creating and achieving a sophisticated look for the show.

‘When I started working on Jackie’s look, the overall vibe that I wanted for her this season was sophisticated looks with elements of fun and sexiness,’ she told the Daily Telegraph.

During her Masked Singer appearance, the KIIS FM star has rocked sensational ensembles most recently a sleek and structured black dress by Alex Perry that showed off her slimmed-down figure.

She also wore a quirky pink mini dress by Rebecca Vallance with plunging neckline and puffy sleeves.

Jess said of Jackie’s ensembles: ‘I wanted to make sure that even though the show is loud and fun, that the looks would still have a timeless feel.

‘It was extremely fun working with Jackie… on creating really different looks each night but still keeping a nice overall consistency,’ she added.

Jess is sister of model and fashionista Roberta Pecoraro.

In 2016, she tied the knot with husband Steven Monaco in a ‘magical’ Italian wedding.

The bride donned a stunning dress by the homegrown designer, Steven Khalil, in a Sicilian-based lavish ceremony.

The ceremony and celebrations happened on September 10, when the bride-to-be assembled a series of photogenic guests in the town of Taormina for her beautiful fairy-lit nuptials.

At the time, Jess told the Daily Mail that the whole thing was ‘totally magical’.

‘It was an absolute dream really,’ she said.

The mother-of-two shares two daughters with her husband, daughters Harley, five, and Paloma, 10 months.
