Joanne Black (born 25 October 1974 in County Cavan, Ireland) is a stylist based in Los Angeles. A former model, she took part in beauty pageants, becoming Miss Limerick Photogenic, then Miss Ireland in 1995, at the age of 20.

Career

Black began her career as a model with the Celia Holman Lee Agency in 1990. She was crowned Miss Limerick Photogenic, then Miss Ireland in 1995. Black was then described as ‘Ireland’s most eligible young woman.'[3] With 15 years experience in fashion under her belt Black decided to start developing her skills as a stylist. Photographer Tony Mcgee describes Black as Ireland's most stylish woman because "It's not about what she's wearing, or being noticed, it's about her personality. Style is sharing."[4]

As a stylist, she has worked with Petra Nemcova, Erin O'Connor, Zara Phillips, Goldie Hawn, Sarah Bolger, Elena Satine, Laura Michelle Kelly, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Max Irons, Bill Nighy, Ronan Keating and Rory J. Saper.

Black's work has appeared in numerous fashion magazines worldwide and her styling is regularly featured on best dressed lists.
