In 1989 Styler and Sting started the Rainforest Foundation Fund, an organization devoted to protecting rainforests and their indigenous peoples, and since 1991 she has produced regular Rock for the Rainforest benefits at Carnegie Hall. As a UNICEF Ambassador, Styler has also raised millions for their projects around the globe.
Styler met rock musician Sting while in the Royal Shakespeare Company. They were married on August 22, 1992, and have four children: Bridget Michael (a.k.a. "Mickey" born 1984), Jake Sumner (born 1985), Eliot Paulina (nicknamed "Coco," born 1990) and Giacomo Luke (born 1995). Eliot is the lead singer for the band I Blame Coco.
Styler has produced and co-directed several award-winning documentaries and feature films, including Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch; Duncan Jones' Moon; and Moving the Mountain which won the 1994 International Independent Documentary Award.
In 2008 it was reported that Styler donated £10,000 into the charitable Ama Sumani cancer fund. Sumani was terminally ill with cancer and unable to afford treatment in her native Ghana, but had been deported from a Cardiff hospital after the expiry of her visa. Sumani died on 19 March 2008.
In 2011, she and Producer Celine Rattray founded Maven Pictures, a motion picture development, production, and financing company.
