BENTLEY CURTIS
Image Consulting, Executive Coaching & Wellness Coaching
ABOUT
For nearly two decades Bentley Curtis has worked throughout numerous
facets of the fashion industry ranging from celebrity and personal styling,
public relations, editorial writing, and red carpet hosting. Her love of
style, beauty and empowering others has birthed Bentley Curtis Inc., a
global consulting firm that approaches wellness from a 360° lens.
Focusing on what she calls the 5 Pillars of Balance—mental, emotional,
spiritual, physical, and occupational—she assists clients in achieving
holistic wellness and unlocking a more confident, heightened version of
themselves. This objective is brought to fruition through a thoughtful and
intentional curation of best practices meant to best serve and suit each
of her client’s unique needs. Through a synthesis of self-introspection,
personal branding, styling, beauty, grooming and professional
organization techniques, clients become recalibrated, centered and
more internally grounded, awakening a deepened connectivity to their
inner compass and greater clarity of mind, vision and purpose.
To highlight Bentley’s previous professional experience, she worked for
Associated Press Entertainment in London, U.K. covering fashion shows
at London Collections Men (LCM) for designers Alexander McQueen,
Burberry and Richard James, among others. She also conducted
red carpet interviews for international movie premieres, along with

Furthermore, she worked as a freelance showbiz reporter for the DailyMail U.K.covering style and pop culture related topics. Aside from her editorial work she’s been a host and presenter for fashion shows, red carpets, galas, podcasts, panel moderations, among other live event formats.
