With clients such as Kylie Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, RuPaul, Kourtney Kardashian, Tommy and Dee Hilfiger, Cher, Winnie Harlow, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, Elton John and David Furnish, Ellen Pompeo and others of this illustrious ilk, Martyn Lawrence Bullard is truly the designer to the stars.

In his new book, Star Style: Interiors of Martyn Lawrence Bullard (Vendome Press), Bullard dives deep into 15 high-profile projects. With a foreword by Cher and chapters dedicated to “Artistes,” “Fashionistas,” and “Glamazons,” each copy of the volume is bound in one of three Martyn Lawrence Bullard fabric designs.

Included in Star Style are vignettes from Martyn’s own romantic Hollywood Hills home which was once owned by Dennis Hopper in the 60s, then Andy Warhol and Tina Turner, before Bullard transformed it into his Moorish-influenced retreat.

The England-born designer is repeatedly on the AD100 and Elle Decor A-List, and his work has appeared in every major design magazine. More than just a decorator, Bullard also has a background in acting; he starred in the Bravo series Million Dollar Decorators from 2011 to 2013 and the UK series Hollywood Me. He has appeared in several other design-centered television shows and was a special guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2020.
