Rachel Bilson to be a celebrity shoe designer for BeachMints

By Andrea Petrou on October 10th, 2011

Rachel Bilson has joined BeachMint.

The actress will be a celebrity designer alongside her stylist, Nicole Chavez, for a new branch of the e-commerce brand, ShoeMint, which will see her create a range of affordable shoes.

She told WWD: “I loved the idea of designing really cute shoes that are affordable and accessible. The whole idea behind the BeachMint brand makes the online shopping experience so personal.”

While Rachel has experience in the fashion sphere, including a collaboration with DKNY Jeans, her BeachMint collaboration will be her first foray into shoe design.

Rachel follows in the footsteps of Kate Bosworth and her stylist, Cher Coulter, who launched a accessories collection for JewelMint, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen’s StyleMint and Jessica Simpson’s BeautyMint.

Kate was a “guinea pigs” for BeachMint’s business model with her range, but was confident of its success, as she was allowed to work with quality pieces.

She said: “I feel like we’re just starting to get a really good hold on this experience.

“I had no interest in signing a contract that would force me to curate pieces I found horrendous.”

BeachMint is a members only site which means it requires registrations before offering its users a monthly selection of merchandise based on their own tastes, and all available at a set price. All ShoeMint shoes will cost $79.99.

This weekend it was the teenybopper’s Oscar night as the Teen Choice Awards took place in California. All the usual teenage Disney stars and popstrels were there, along with a few more grown-up faces.

Taylor Swift, our favourite angel-faced country-pop singer, had a great weekend as she walked away with the Ultimate Choice award along with five others, including Favourite Female Artist and Favourite Country Artist. She looked sweet and girlish in a full-skirted white halternecked dress that was more than a little bit Marilyn Monroe.

Gossip Girl‘s Blake Lively looked absolutely incredible in an unusual orange leather tailored dress that showed off her perfect figure (we hate her, we hate her, we hate her). She also took away the award for TV’s best dramatic TV actress.

The Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie didn’t take away any awards, though she gets a style award from us for her cool and youthful star-printed minidress. Neither did the Kardashians, though they were all out in force with their fiercest heels and sexiest dresses. Kim K looked amazing in a white-and-black cocktail dress with a feathered skirt.

Disney actress Selena Gomez, who is Justin Bieber’s current squeeze, looked pretty and sophisticated in a sexy gold satin cocktail dress with a draped chiffon train. We also loved Rachel Bilson’s look, who opted for a sweet and romantic look in a white ruffled Chloe dress.

Check out our gallery to see the celebrities we’ve mentioned above, along with plenty others.

Steal her style: Rachel Bilson’s Showtime TCA Party look

By emilyborrett on August 4th, 2011

Rachel Bilson's style shone through in these tapered red-pink trousers, with a slouchy floral shirt and contrasting leopard-print heels. She's still got it!

Rachel Bilson’s been so quiet on the acting front recently that we completely forgot she’s one of our favourite dressers like, ever. When we spotted her cool smart-casual outfit that she wore to the CBS, the CW and the Showtime TCA Party yesterday we just knew that we’d have to do a post about it.

Clashing and contasting prints are going to be a massive trend this Autumn, something that clever Rachel has wised up to. She teamed up a sizzling pair of cerise tailored trousers with a slouchy dark floral blouse and some leopard-print Louboutins – something that on paper shouldn’t work at all but on her really, really does.

There are some pretty much identical pieces on the high street – yay! You can replicate Rachel Bilson’s amazing party outfit by looking at our picks in the gallery above.

Spotted in the USA: Eva Longoria, Emma Stone, Rachel Bilson and Cat Deeley

Emma Stone looked cool and edgy arriving at the Late Show in a simple black mini-dress with stonking great heels

Today’s an apple pie-loving American special as we take a peek at who’s been papped over the pond.

Appearing on the Late Show in New York were both our very own Cat Deeley and the beautiful Emma Stone. Cat Deeley was rocking a Barbarella ’60s vibe in a very form-fitting silver shift dress with very teased blonde tresses, while Emma opted for a simple black bell-sleeved mini with absolutely giant heels for an effect that was edgy, sexy and a little bit Birkin-esque. There are rumours that Emma’s been getting close to her Spiderman co-star Andrew Garfield. Watch this space..

TCA were throwing a big bash with Rachel Bilson, Kristen Bell and Claire Danes in attendance. It was a pleasure to see Rachel again – where’s she been lately? Anyway, she put all the celebrities dressed up to the nines to shame as she rocked smart-casual in a coral pink pair of jeans with a sweet floral shirt and a patent clutch. More dressed-up was Kristen, who looked sexy in a black corseted-dress to show off her tiny waist, while the Romeo + Juliet star Claire Danes looked romantic in a Grecian draped number.

Nicole Sherzinger was spotted performing at the infamous Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood for Kiss FM, looking fierce in black-and-red feathers and some scary-looking black ankle boots. Elsewhere in California, Eva Longoria was seen looking polished in simple skinny jeans and Louboutins with a shiny mane to rival our Kate Middleton’s. How does she do it?

Finally, the Disney teeny-bopper Ashley Tisdale was seen at the première for the new Phineas & Ferb film looking extremely grown-up in a sheeny Aztec-printed minidress. She’s certainly not a kid anymore!

Rachel Bilson was “more interested” in Karl Lagerfeld than Baptiste Giabiconi during a shoot

By Andrea Petrou on March 24th, 2011

Rachel Bilson was “more interested” in Karl Lagerfeld than Baptiste Giabiconi during a shoot.

The 29-year-old actress worked with the Chanel designer and his male model muse to film a recent advertisement and although she acknowledged Baptiste is gorgeous, she only had eyes for Karl.

She said: “Apparently he’s a very big model. I knew who he was from shows and walking – he’s always with Karl. He was really sweet too – obviously a very good-looking person. He’s so young! He’s only 21.”

However, she admitted: “I’m more interested in keeping in touch with Karl!”

The petite brunette also confessed she was so star-struck by the German designer she kept a notepad he had written on – and refused to share it with a friend.

She told New York magazine: “He was so funny – he was writing down something on this Chanel notepad, and he was like, ‘Do you want it?’ And I took it so fast he laughed at me, so I got a Chanel notepad from Karl.

“And my friend was with me – she was like, ‘Can I at least have a piece of paper from it?’ I was like, ‘Absoluely not.’ “

ShinyStyle loves: This week’s top 10 seventies-inspired buys

Woven Sandal Wedges

These wedges from Topshop Unique tick all the right fashion boxes.

With stars such as Rachel Bilson, Daisy Lowe and Nicole Richie firmly flying the flag for 1970s casualwear, 70s supermodel icon Jerry Hall having her own mini-beauty Georgia Jagger follow in her footsteps and fashion houses such as Marc Jacobs showing collections filled with luxurious fabrics and fringing, it’s never been so hot to have a little blast from the past. Whether it’s full-on Studio 54 disco glamour that you want or grown-up hippy chic, there’s a piece on the high street for you to rock the trend. It’s a nod to the bohemian, louche look that both Kate Moss and Sienna Miller have made so desirable – and you don’t have to be a model or impossibly beautiful actress to try it.

The beauty about the trend is it’s accessibility for women of all shapes and sizes. Self-conscious about your pre-summer tummy? A slouchy maxi or jumpsuit can hide a multitude of sins if you choose the right fabric. Want to look taller, or emphasize your long legs? Wide-legged and flared trousers don’t just make you appear longer, but are also a beautifully stylish alternative to the unforgiving skinny jean. We’re predicting that the wide-legged look will catch on just as much as skinny jeans, if not more.

When looking for pieces to work the 1970′s look, you have to keep an eye out for key elements that will keep it on-trend. Kaftan-style minidresses made out of floaty fabrics, statement chunky jewellery, tan coloured platform heels and retro sunglasses will make your 70s style absolutely perfect come spring/summer. When it comes to colour, opt for metallics if it’s glamour that you want, but if you want to go a bit more low-key look out for white broderie anglaise and tan colours. Check out the gallery for our favourite pieces.

Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christiansen confirm break-up

By admin on August 10th, 2010

While some celebrity couples are announcing engagements, having babies and getting married, others are sadly breaking up.

One couple who has just announced the latter is Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christiansen, who after months of speculation, have confirmed that they have ended their engagement, and their relationship.

A representative for Rachel confirmed the news to People Magazine claiming: “Yes, the engagement is off.”

The break up comes sixteen months after the couple announced their engagement. Previously the pair had taken a month break to see what they wanted but it seems this didn’t help reconcile them.

Rachel was spotted out and about without her engagement ring, and when quizzed on wedding plans by reporters she pointed to her ring-less finger and responded: “No, no plans. No nothing.”

We wonder if it’s too soon to give Hayden our number.

Cannes day 9: AmfArRs Cinema Against AIDS benefit gala

By Andrea Petrou on May 21st, 2010

Day 9 of the Cannes Film Festival saw A-listers dressing up in the name of charity for the AmfArRs Cinema Against AIDS benefit gala at the Hotel du Cap.

And it was a night of sophisticated designer dresses. Diane Kruger, Rachel Bilson and Kirsten Dunst went for glam in Chanel dresses while Michelle Williams went for short and daring in a sequined dress by Sonia Rykiel.

Fresh off her catwalk debut Mischa Barton went for Marchesa while Jennifer Lopez unsurprisingly opted for a pink princess frock by Roberto Cavalli.

Paris Hilton also turned up in a white bridal inspired number. However our best dressed starlets of the night have to be Kate Beckinsale, who looked amazing in a silver gown by Armani Prive and Emily Blunt who wowed us in a simple red dress.

Rachel Bilson claims she doesn’t use a stylist

By Andrea Petrou on March 30th, 2010

Rachel b.jpg

We’ve all had a touch of the green eyed monster at one point or the other, where we’ve looked at a celeb and thought “I could look like that if I had her make-up artist,” or “If I had her stylist I’d be just as well dressed.”

However, one celeb we won’t be able to use the stylist justification with is Rachel Bilson. The actress has admitted that unlike many of her A-list counter parts she doesn’t use a stylist. Instead she prefers to make her own mistakes and retain some fashion freedom.

She told People Magazine: “I really dress myself.

“I’ve been known to put a necklace in my hair. That’s what getting dressed should be. It’s about fun and experimenting. I think you either enjoy it or you don’t – and I do.”

Well that’s stopped our stylist justification but if we had her make-up artist……

Do you think Rachel is style savvy? Let us know by leaving your comments below.
