RuPaul’s Closet, Kylie Jenner’s Handbag Room Shine in Martyn Lawrence Bullard’s ‘Star Style’

Martyn Lawrence Bullard's latest book, "Star Style" (Vendome Press), chronicles three decades of the interior designer's work with a roster of celebrity clients, including Cher, Elton John, RuPaul, and Kylie Jenner. The book, released on October 3rd, coincides with the 30th anniversary of Bullard's career, during which he has become known for creating distinctive, eclectic homes for the rich and famous. Bullard emphasizes that his A-list clients seek unique designs that reflect their individual personalities rather than a standardized "signature style" from the designer. This approach allows for highly personalized spaces that serve as extensions of the clients' personal brands and larger-than-life personas. The article highlights several notable projects featured in the book. For Cher's Los Angeles apartment, Bullard incorporated the facade of an Indian palace, relocating it to Malibu, showcasing his ability to execute grand and unconventional design visions. RuPaul's Hollywood Regency-style home features custom-designed De Gournay wallpaper, intricately patterned with silhouettes of the drag superstar in various wigs from his career. RuPaul's residence also includes a ballroom adorned with disco balls on the ceiling and a dedicated "drag boutique" housing costumes, accessories, shoes, and bags, many from "RuPaul's Drag Race." These elements are blended with classic Hollywood touches, such as a Dorothy Draper-inspired fireplace flanked by custom Maison Royère-style velvet sofas and an Elsie de Wolfe slipper chair upholstered in Tony Duquette Malachite print fabric. Kylie Jenner's Hidden Hills residence also receives significant attention for its highly customized spaces. Bullard designed a handbag room specifically to accommodate hundreds of her bags, including rare Hermès Birkins. He also created a VIP dressing room for Jenner, featuring floating Lucite wardrobes for her Met Gala and ad campaign attire. This space is equipped with glass, suede, and chrome shoe towers and sunglasses stands, alongside swiveling mirrors on polished steel stands, all designed for optimal dress fittings. Additionally, a dedicated glam room was created for filming tutorials. Bullard explains that fashion trends, including color, texture, and pattern, constantly influence his interior design work, and vice versa. He notes the current "House of Hackney flavor" and Victorian decor revival in interiors are now appearing on European runways. His collaborations with fashion designers like Tommy Hilfiger demonstrate this synergy. For Tommy and Dee Hilfiger, Bullard has designed multiple homes, each reflecting a different style preference—a traditional Connecticut home, a 1970s disco-inspired Miami residence, and a relaxed Mediterranean-vibe Palm Beach house. The Palm Beach home, specifically, features fashion-forward details such as a custom faux-bamboo vanity that displays Dee's handbags designed with Judith Leiber, and vintage chairs previously owned by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé. Looking ahead, Bullard is currently designing a home for Machine Gun Kelly, which he describes as a "wild rock 'n' roll frenzy with lots of pink." He is also involved in a restaurant chain project with Rick Bayless, concepting new stores for a fashion brand, and has launched his own product lines, including Duchateau flooring and Oliver James Lilos pool floats. #MartynLawrenceBullard #InteriorDesign #StarStyle #CelebrityHomes #HomeDecor #RuPaul #KylieJenner #LuxuryInteriors #DesignBook #MartynLawrenceBullard #InteriorDesign #StarStyle #CelebrityHomes #HomeDecor #RuPaul #KylieJenner #LuxuryInteriors #DesignBook
