African American doo-wop quartet from the 1996 filmGrace of My Heart. They indirectly give the main character, songwriter Denise Waverly (Illeana Douglas) her big break, when their manager Joel Millner (John Turturro) brings them her song "In Another World" and it becomes a hit for them. Then they disappear from the movie completely. The song was really cowritten by 1960s hitmaker Gerry Goffin and band Los Lobos.

The Stylettes were played by vocal group Portrait: Eric Jerome Kirkland, Irving Eugene Washington III, Kurt Jackson, and Michael Saulsberry. See also The Click Brothers, Little Tammy Lee, The Luminaries, Kelly Porter, The Riptides, Denise Waverly.
