Each month at Alterre, we spotlight a woman whose creativity, confidence, and community impact push the boundaries of what’s possible. Our Mover and Shaker series is a celebration of women leading with style and purpose. This June, we’re thrilled to feature Belle Bakst. Fashion stylist, content creator, and the vibrant voice behind @littlefashionstylist.
With a background in fashion styling and a passion for storytelling, Belle’s work merges bold aesthetics with authentic connection. Whether she’s styling a shoot, consulting for brands, or inspiring her followers to take fashion risks, Belle approaches every project with fearless flair. She’s become a go-to source for outfit inspiration, brand insight, and a little extra sparkle—both on and off camera.
Belle’s fave: Cloud Grey Ballet Pump + Twiggy
Leading with Heart
Belle’s journey is guided by optimism and intention. Her personal mantra?
“Believe good things are coming, and they will.”
It’s a quiet but powerful reminder that mindset matters, and that manifesting magic starts within.
She credits her best friend, fellow creator Christine Buzan, for sharing the career advice that continues to fuel her ambition:
“If I didn’t go out and do the things I was afraid of, someone else would—and they’d have the life I wanted because I was too afraid to take a risk.”
That mindset shows up in everything Belle does, from building her brand to showing up authentically in a crowded digital space.
Quickfire Q&A with Belle
Heels or Flats?
“Heels! But if I commit to a super high height, I’ll carry flats in a tote bag later on since I like to take the subway.”
Guilty Pleasure?
“Reality television—specifically anything on TLC. I still have cable because I love it so much.”
Secret Weapon?
“Definitely my ability to help others feel more at ease. Making great connections starts with feeling comfortable.”
Drink of Choice?
“Champagne! But I also love a lychee martini :)”
Dinner Party Dream Guests?
“Diana Vreeland, Kate Spade, Elsa Schiaparelli.”
A lineup of trailblazing women who redefined fashion and culture, just like Belle aims to do in her own way.
Advice for the Next Generation
“Don’t let fear be the thing that stands in the way of you and your goals. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.”
Belle’s advice is a rallying cry for aspiring creatives to show up fully, ask boldly, and move through doubt with purpose.
Why Belle Inspires Us
Belle Bakst isn’t just a style muse. She’s a modern-day storyteller who champions confidence and creativity in every form. Her work reminds us that fashion is more than fabric; it’s a vehicle for self-expression, joy, and impact.
We’re proud to spotlight Belle as our June Mover & Shaker, and celebrate the women in our community who use fashion as a force for connection, visibility, and bold self-belief.
