Tyler Hill made a striking entrance as a new member of the Buying Beverly Hills cast. As a newcomer, she was determined to stand out with her fashion choices.
Hill, who was already an agent at the Ben Belack Group within Mauricio Umansky's The Agency, joined the show for its second season. The season premiered on Netflix in March, impressing viewers with her impressive selling abilities and impeccable sense of style.
The Los Angeles native looked elegant in tweed dresses and houndstooth sets at the office and during her showings. She often paired these outfits with sleek ponytails and pointed-toe pumps. However, when the cameras are not rolling, her wardrobe is more on the casual side.
"I have a different style for the show," Hill shared exclusively with We. "For anyone who's curious, LA real estate is known for being pretty laid-back."
Hill clarified that even though it's important to look professional as an agent, especially when dealing with clients and their valuable assets, wearing high heels is not always necessary.
She mentioned that during a typical workday, she usually wears the same blazers, skirts, and boots on rotation. It's a simple and understated look, but for the show, she likes to add a pop of color and step up her style a bit.

She realized she had a preppy style after watching her show. She was surprised to see that she dressed like she was at a boarding school in every episode.
Her favorite fashion pieces include Zara jackets, Hill House dresses, Gucci slip-on loafers, Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots, Golden Goose sneakers, and Levi’s jeans for showing her friends around her neighborhood.
Hill confessed that she did a lot of online shopping before her TV debut. She mentioned feeling the pressure to upgrade her wardrobe to match the style of Umansky's agent daughters, Alexia, Sophia, and Farrah.
Tyler Hill shared a post on her Instagram account (@tylerenee) where she talked about the advantage the sisters have. They share a closet, giving them the equivalent of five closets within their family, and they all wear the same size. Hill mentioned that they also share a lot with their mom, Kyle Richards. This situation can be intimidating for her as she realizes they have access to an infinite wardrobe.
Hill mentioned that some cast members hire stylists and pay for glam, but she finds it unrealistic to do so for every episode. She took on the task of styling herself, doing her own hair and makeup. Feeling intimidated, she decided to step up her game by seeking inspiration from Instagram and doing a lot of online shopping.

If Hill could choose the best dressed person, she would choose Alexia.
Hill explained, "Everyone has their own unique style that suits their body. Alexia stands out with her funky and eclectic choices. She wears vintage pieces that you rarely see elsewhere. For these reasons, I would say Alexia is the best dressed. I absolutely love her style."
Season 2 of Buying Beverly Hills is currently streaming on Netflix.
