Sam Spector is the Costume Designers Guild Award-nominated Celebrity Stylist and Costume Designer responsible for the signature looks of some of Hollywood's leading men and women. He has worked with Alan Cumming on all seasons of the US version of The Traitors, for which he was nominated in the category of Excellence in Variety, Reality-Competition, and Live Television.

Spector works regularly with Neil Patrick Harris on his red carpet, press, and personal appearances and creates custom apparel for the star for his TV hosting responsibilities.

He also works with Daniel Radcliffe, Billy Eichner, the Emmy Award winner Samira Wiley, Andy Samberg, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Michael Zegen on their press and red carpet appearances.

Spector was the stylist for Hasan Minhaj's Netflix series "Patriot Act" as well all the press associated with the show. He worked with Ryan Seacrest on his daily show "Live with Kelly and Ryan" as well as "American Idol" and his "E! Red Carpet" looks. During this time, Spector worked with designers custom custom-making clothing with Seacrest's signature label to create the perfect apparel for each occasion.

Spector dresses the lead singer of Phish, Trey Anastasio, for his tour appearances and custom-designed the band's New Year's Eve 2020 costumes including 50 of their "clones".

Spector received his B.A. in Psychology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and an A.A.S. in Fashion Design at the Parsons School of Design in New York.
