Celebrity Inspiration: Rachel Bilson

Rachel Bilson is one of the top fashionistas, a loved one on the red carpet and a great style advice columnist for InStyle. All of her looks are inspiring and most are easy to copy or incorporate into your own wardrobe. It's no wonder so many of you suggested her!


Jackets, Coats, and Cardigans- This girl has to have more jackets than people in the Himalayas! Whether it's casual or dressy she can rock a jacket so well. She is the perfect example of how to dress for cold weather or a chilly room. Dressing for warmth I think is one of the hardest things to do while still looking chic, I had to take notes while putting this post together.

Accesorize!/Daring- Rachel definitely doesn't know any boundaries. She is a total pro when it comes to accessorizing an outfit, never overdone even if she's rocking more then one trend. Tights, bright bags, belts she's inspired everyone to push their look a bit further and try something new. Miss Bilson (soon to be Mrs!) wears brights, prints and new styles on almost a daily basis. I'm not a fan of the short suits/jacket look, but her gold number sold me. She's also made me a believer in the shorts with tights look, though I don't know if I could sport them the way she does.

Street Chic- She may be glamorous, but on the street she looks like any polished young lady. The key staples to keep her chicness are cute shoes and a great bag. I didn't see any pictures of her in just flip flops, always boots, gladiator sandals, heels, or flats. Most of her street looks are pretty basic and would be easy to copy with your own wardrobe. Don't forget fun sunglasses, your scarf, or a belt to help pull the look together.

Black, but not Boring- Is boring even in her vocabulary? Take a look at how well she amps up an LBD

Love Rachel Bilson! She is so teeny tiny - she can wear anything. I'm a huge fan of the brightly colored DVF dress and the long green dress at the end. :)

Little Miss K, As I said last week I was very excited about this post as Rachel Bilson (& Katie Holmes) is the celeb I get told I look like. :) Man, I only hope that is true! You did not dissapoint. I still don't know about the short suit & the tights under shorts look. I mean, not that she looked bad, I just wouldn't do it. I LOVED the black dress that wrapped around & the red & navy dress as well as the navy w the belt...can you tell I'm a dress girl?!

In all truth, I kind of thought Rachel was overrated, but after putting together all of the pictures, she really does have great style and deserves all the talk that she gets!

Mackenzie- Thank you so much doll!

Coley- I love the DVF dress too, it was so great and she really wore it well.

Heather- Glad you liked it! I'm not a big fun of the tights under shorts, but I haven't seen anyone else wear it as well as her.

I love Rachel Bilson! She is gorgeous and always looks so posh and darling. My favorite look is her at the teen choice awards in that one shoulder dress but I also always love her in her casual outfits around LA. She is such a style inspiration!

Love these posts (I think I say that every time you do one, but I do love them)! Rachel Bilson is so cute and always looks great. My favorite looks of hers is the green studded dress in the last set, the blue casual dress with the brown belt, and the black tee and jeans with pink scarf (oh and the navy dress with red print).

I love her style inside out! I just wish she'd do something about that hair!
