What It’s Like To Be Beyonce’s Personal Assistant

Whether she's rushing through an airport, hitting up the Louvre for some culture or trailing a four-foot-long train along the Grammys red carpet you can bet Beyonce is looking flawless. It's also a safe bet that her personal assistant Sam Greenberg won't be far behind her.

Sam has no shortage of insight into what it takes to be an international style icon, and luckily for us she's spilled her secrets on travelling alongside Bey and assembling the perfect wardrobe for the job to Vogue.com.

First question: what's it like to walk the red carpet alongside Queen B? She said: "I try to blend in the background as much as possible. Being on the red carpet is the most glamorous, but for me, like for the Grammys this year, I wore a pair of black jeans and a black tank top and then I put on my Stuart Weitzman thigh-high Highland boots. They [the shoes] make my outfit a little bit nicer, but still comfortable and functional."

Here's 5 more great titbits of style advice from her interview:

**1. Make the most of investment pieces: **

"Do not be afraid to walk in something and don’t worry that it may get ruined, just wear it for what it is. You can wear it with a pair of sneakers to make it functional but also really fashionable."

2. Try to travel light:

"I showed up my first day of the job ready to go on tour with two huge suitcases, a small wheel carry-on, a carry-on for my shoulder, and my purse. I soon learned that was not going to be an effective way to travel, and ended up cutting it down."

3. Travel in style:

" always make sure [my travel style] isn’t “too sweatpants and sweatshirt.” I wear overalls [by Topshop], which are really comfortable on planes. I definitely wear flats—Chanel espadrilles have been my favorite things for the past two years—they are like bedroom slippers, but look good with a lot of things."

4. There's nothing wrong with blending in in black:

"If it is a summer tour, I have two or three black rompers that I live in. If it is winter tours, I wear jeans, sneakers, and sometimes even some Beyoncé merchandise because that is usually black too, so that is helpful to blend in."

5. Learn from the best:

"For me, the fun of [the job] is walking in and seeing that B’s stylist has pulled something from what I have or vice versa. It is a cool experience to learn from her and curate my taste along with hers because she is quite the style icon."
