Sam Saboura

Sam Saboura has made his mark as a top stylist and as television’s original makeover authority. He believes that style should be approachable, unintimidating, and easy to understand—as much for the real person as for the high-profile celebrity.

In 2003, Saboura joined the cast of ABC’s "Extreme Makeover." As the host of this international hit series, he led an elite team of professionals who transformed the looks—and lives—of individuals throughout the country. With his warm personality and tough love approach to self-improvement, he quickly established himself as one of television’s leading style experts, endearing him to millions of fans worldwide. "Extreme Makeover" remains a television sensation, airing in more than 100 countries.

Saboura continues to bring his own brand of fashion expertise to television, offering commentary at red-carpet events and on popular news and entertainment shows. He is a regular guest and contributor on "The Today Show" and "The Talk," a lead editor for The Hollywood Take and works as a fashion expert for national publications, including Us Weekly, People, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Life and Style, USA Today, the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the Boston Globe. Saboura remains in high demand as a personal stylist for celebrities in the film, television, and music industries, and works extensively as a freelance wardrobe designer, creative director, and brand spokesperson.

In 2005, Clarkson Potter published his best-selling book, "Sam Saboura’s Real Style: Style Secrets for Real Women with Real Bodies." A year later, a companion workbook, "My Real Style: A Makeover Journal," was released.

His latest venture is hosting TLC’s hit wedding show "Something Borrowed, Something New," the newest addition to the network’s bridal lineup and an overnight success. The show addresses the classic wedding dilemma: should the bride wear a beloved family heirloom or buy a new dress that fits her own sense of style? Saboura takes the bride shopping for the contemporary gown of her dreams, and she ultimately must make the highly emotional choice between borrowed and new.
