A delivery has come into Karla Welch's Los Angeles studio. It's a boxful of jewelry.
"That's nice," Welch says as she unwraps a topaz bracelet from a California designer, a friend of hers. Later today, an actress will be slipping it over her slim wrist to make sure it goes with her Oscar party dress.
"This is part of the process," the stylist says, unwrapping another. "Cause we don't leave it until Sunday."
"This is all worth...?" I ask.
"Way too much," Welch says. "Don't rob us! You go to Beverly Hills this time of year, you see all the stylists walking like this," she tucks her arms in to her chest like a mother holding a newborn.

"If someone was really smart they'd knock us down and take our purses."
Welch, who grew up in British Columbia, has now risen to the top of Hollywood's ultra-competitive fashion styling scene. A look at one of her studio's clothing racks says it all: the tags above the hangers read "Amy" for Amy Poehler, and "Justin" for Justin Bieber. There's a wall of purses. The floor is littered with Jimmy Choos. This, she says, is "crazy time."
Grace under pressure
"It's the culmination of the entire award season. We've gone from the campaigning to the Golden Globes to the SAGs and the BAFTAs, and the Oscars is the 'big wow.' I feel the pressure. I don't really care about the 'hottest' lists, I just feel the pressure of making sure my client feels amazing and that everything's perfect."
Her most glamorous client? Oscar-nominated The Theory of Everything actress Felicity Jones.
"The approach with Felicity is we're really collaborators. She loves the process as much as I do. We came into award season with the intent of telling a story. She has a very consistent style, very modern, very classic and very elegant, so we're just weaving a thread throughout."
As for exactly what Jones will be wearing on the red carpet on Sunday night, Welch wouldn't reveal anything. Except this: "I can say her dress is an incredible work of art. I'm so excited. It's maybe not for everyone but it's…. aaahh! You'll have to wait until Sunday."
