Rachel Bilson : Famous Duds

Rachel Bilson made her Hollywood debut as Summer Roberts on The O.C. as a bratty SoCal mean girl in 2003. Since then, Rachel's style has evolved quite nicely from bikini tops with daisy dukes to trousers with cardigans. This petite star has perfected the casual chic that is so L.A. with vintage twists and unexpected accessories that add an urban edge.

Multi-Personality Order

This ensemble is a lesson in contradictions. The black lace front suggests sex while demurely staying modestly covered. The structured navy dress is a combination of strength and femininity. And to top off all of this demurely sexy and strongly feminine get-up, the fingerless gloves add a touch of punk. The lack of accessories speaks to Ms Bilson’s style sense too, since any necklace or earrings would be overkill next to the shiny navy and black lace.

Insouciant Insight

This outfit is a good example of how to dress casually and comfortably without losing critical style points. She’s just wearing jeans, ballet flats, and a sweatshirt – very collegiate – and she still looks dapper with her attention to accessories and detail. The contrasting pink scarf, oversized satchel and zippers on her pants maintain a certain level of sophistication.

vfish in Training

A simple enough dress and jacket combo that looks great without being over-thought. The vfish girl can easily draw inspiration from this look by pairing the Turner Dress or the Quinn Dress with a vintage blazer. Throw on a pair of stacked heels and you’ll be ready

for a magazine event – or a rooftop shindig.
