She is included in Timberlake’s 2024 DUI arrest video
In the footage, after Timberlake is pulled over, Stanley can be heard asking a police officer what is going on, and later offers to drive, after the officer expresses concern about Timberlake.
When the singer is handcuffed moments later, an officer asks Stanley if she has a way to get home, stating of the pop star, “At this point, he’s coming with us.”
After Stanley expresses shock and asks why, the officer tells her, “He was driving drunk. He failed every single test,” and when she learns that Timberlake will be held at the Sag Harbor police station until the following morning, she asks police if she can give the pop star his phone.
“Can you guys please just do me a favor ’cause you loved ‘Bye Bye Bye’ or ‘Sexyback?’ Do me one favor?” she asked.
The footage also showed that Stanley was later given permission to drive Timberlake’s car home, as he left the scene in police custody.
Following his 2024 arrest, Timberlake was initially charged with one count of driving while intoxicated and two citations, one for running a stop sign and one for failure to keep in the lane.
Months later, in September 2024, he reached a plea deal, where he agreed to plead guilty to a lesser offense. His lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., maintained that he was “not intoxicated” when he was arrested.
Stanley did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment tied to the video release on March 21.
She got her start a stylist to the stars
Stanley got her start as a fashion stylist, working for clients like Penélope Cruz, Lea Michele, Eva Mendes and Ellen Pompeo, as well as Biel and Timberlake.
According to a 2020 interview for the You’ve Got This LinkedIn newsletter, Stanley “started in music video styling in my career,” including the video for the *NSYNC track she mentioned in the bodycam footage from Timberlake’s arrest.
“But never forget *NSYNC’s ‘Bye Bye Bye’ music video! I styled that,” Stanley said in the newsletter. “That one, and I did the Britney Spear’s ‘Oops … I Did It Again.’ And don’t forget Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. That, to me, was a big deal. That started a big thing.”
She is also an interior designer
Following her start as a stylist, Stanley moved into interior design, lending her talents to homes belonging to stars like Michele, Sophia Bush and Patrick Dempsey despite no formal training in the field.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen marked her first-ever design job, per Forbes. Ashley, 39, praised Stanley to Forbes in 2019, stating, “Approachable, fun, humorous, creative, tasteful and unpretentious are some of the characteristics that make me love her so much on both a personal and professional level. Those qualities are what make her homes distinct and interesting.”
As for why Stanley made the transition from “fashion to designing homes,” she told You’ve Got This that she “just really enjoy creating spaces and (when I was doing styling, outfits) that make people feel good, happy, peaceful, and confident.”

She is a longtime friend of Jessica Biel — and styled the actress for her wedding to Timberlake
Stanley is a longtime friend of Biel, and she even styled The Texas Chainsaw Massacre actress on her wedding day to Timberlake.
Asked about some of her favorite career looks, Stanley told You’ve Got This, “I definitely think that Jessica Biel’s wedding dress, and her whole wedding, everything, was one of the highlights of my career.”
After the stars tied the knot in 2012, Stanley opened up about Biel — whom she called “the cutest” — in an interview with PEOPLE.
The then-stylist credited the actress’s wedding with her noticeable confidence in recent red carpet appearances. “I definitely think any woman changes after [she gets] married,” Stanley told PEOPLE at the time. “I feel like she feels more secure and safe on the planet having found her partner.”
She hosted Biel and Timberlake’s engagement party
Stanley was also involved in Biel and Timberlake’s wedding before they tied the knot, hosting the stars’ engagement party at her Los Angeles home.
“Estee created a very warm, welcoming and festive party for the couple,” a source told PEOPLE at the time, adding that the then-engaged couple “danced and looked very happy” at Stanley’s star-studded bash.
She and Biel opened a kid-friendly restaurant together
Stanley and Biel aren’t just longtime friends — they have also been business partners.
In 2016, tha pair, along with partners Joey Gonzalez, Kimberly Muller and Jonathan Rollo, opened the kid-friendly L.A. restaurant Au Fudge. (The restaurant later closed its doors after two years of business.)
The idea behind the restaurant was to include a neighboring “creative space” for children that included books, wooden toys and optional au pairs to watch kids as their parents dined.
“You, as a parent, can go enjoy your life and not be interrupted by your children,” Stanley told Architectural Digest of the business in 2016. “If you don’t have kids, we have a full bar and we invite everyone to get really drunk.”
“Au Fudge is like a country club or a hotel—there’s something for everyone,” she added to the publication.
She wrote a book
In addition to her styling and design work, and her business with Biel, Stanley also published a book, In Comfort and Style, in 2019.
“This book provides an in-depth exploration of Estee’s style and how readers can achieve it in their own homes, according to their own tastes and lifestyles,” reads an official synopsis for the book. “Throughout the pages, Estee invites readers into her world by offering home-decor and accessories imagery from some of her most iconic projects.”

She co-founded a talent agency, among other businesses
Stanley has helped found several businesses — including The Eye Agency, a talent agency that represents architects, interior designers and landscape designers.
Speaking about the agency with You’ve Got This, the stylist and designer said she was inspired to found the company after 20 years working with an agent who refused “to negotiate fees for my houses, find me work, deal with clients.”
“We’re the only creative category that had no known representation,” she said at the time, later adding, “I felt this was missing, so I really wanted to make this world very different and protect both the consumer and the artist at both ends.”
She also co-founded Au Fudge with Biel, and, more recently, Gone Bananas Bread, a California-based company that sells heart-shaped banana bread. She frequently appears on the company’s Instagram account.
She is a mom of two
The designer and entrepreneur shares two children, Teddy and Flora, with her producer husband, Furst — who was also with her on the night of Timberlake’s DWI arrest in 2024.
Her kids’ ages are not publicly known, though they are both teenagers as of 2026, according to their ages as listed in a 2019 interview Stanley did with Elle Decor.
Her social media is private
Stanley has a verified Instagram account, which is followed by over 36,000 people, including celebrities like Hilary Duff and Demi Moore.
As of March 2026, the account is private.

Jessica Biel is supporting Justin Timberlake amid the release of footage from his 2024 DWI arrest — but she is “not happy” about the situation.
Following the release on March 20 of police body camera footage from Timberlake’s arrest by the Suffolk County Police Department (SCPD) in June 2024, a source close to Biel tells PEOPLE exclusively that the actress is “not happy about the renewed attention” it has brought to her husband’s case.
“There’s a reason they pushed back on the footage being released,” the source says of the couple, explaining that Biel, 44, finds the incident “stressful and would prefer to move past it.”
“It obviously doesn’t portray him in the best light,” the insider adds.

According to the source, Biel is still displeased about the situation — particularly the release of the bodycam footage — but she remains supportive of her husband.
“There have been some challenging moments lately, and she’s focused on moving forward,” the source tells PEOPLE. “She’s the happiest when she’s able to focus on family life, along with her work when she chooses to take on projects.”
“She’s supportive of Justin, but she’s also not afraid to express when she’s disappointed in certain decisions. This was one of those moments,” the insider adds.
The pop star and the actress, who tied the knot in 2012, are parents to two children: Silas, born in April 2015, and Phineas, born in 2020.
Timberlake, 45, was arrested after he left the American Hotel and restaurant on Long Island, N.Y., on June 18, 2024. He was initially charged with one count of driving while intoxicated and two citations, one for running a stop sign and one for failure to keep in the lane.
Timberlake’s lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., has maintained that the singer was “not intoxicated” when he was arrested, and in September 2024, Timberlake reached a plea deal, where he agreed to plead guilty to a lesser offense.

Timberlake previously took legal action to block the release of the police body cam footage from his arrest, but it was eventually released on March 20 after Timberlake reached a settlement with the Sag Harbor Village Police Department (SHVPD) and local officials.
On March 2, the singer filed a petition in Suffolk County Supreme Court, alleging that releasing the police body camera footage of his arrest would invade his privacy, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
“Public dissemination of this footage would cause severe and irreparable harm to [Timberlake’s] personal and professional reputation, subject [Timberlake] to public ridicule and harassment, and serve no legitimate public interest,” the petition stated.
Timberlake agreed to the public release of a version of the footage that “does not constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy,” the documents stated.

The arrest footage includes several moments that have made headlines, including one in which the *NSYNC alum awkwardly explained to police what he does for work, and another in which police performed a series of field sobriety tests on Timberlake.
At one point, he could be heard saying, “These are, like, hard tests,” and at another moment, as police put a light in his eyes, he said, “My heart’s racing.”
When the officer asked Timberlake about his vehicle, he explained that he was using a rental car for a couple of days, which prompted the officer to ask the father of two if he was visiting the area.
Timberlake replied, “Yeah, I’m on tour … I’m on a world tour,” and when the officer asked for clarification, the singer said: “It’s hard to explain … umm … I’m Justin Timberlake.” (The musician was headlining his Forget Tomorrow tour at the time.)
