Rachel Bilson: InStyle’s New Fashion Editor!
Rachel Bilson has scored herself a monthly column as a fashion editor in InStyle.
The Q&A is called “Ask Rachel” and stars with the May 2009 issue (with Jennifer Garner on the cover).
“I am not planning on quitting my day job to be a full-time fashion editor, although I am really enjoying it and it intrigues me very much,” Rachel tells WWD. “I’m actually flattered more than anything that people want to ask me questions about style. I am honored to do it.”
She adds, “I can talk about fashion all day long, and I am an avid InStyle reader so the relationship seemed perfect! This column is the best homework assignment ever!”

@71 what the hell — if you have nothing to hide ask here, I promise to be almost nice depending on what you ask or what you are trying to suck up for.
@VOR-i have nothing to hide if i want to send a pm to someone i can and will. i’m dont need to creep up to anyone which is rich coming from you who has had people from here follow you to imdb. pot calling the kettle black i think it is with you.
@21- at least she is trying…
Yeah so damn & dumb hard trying to stay relevant in the HW spotlight… when it wont and will continue to fail just like her attempt to be a movie lead hacktress & a false-shion designer. Nothing could compensate a well-earned effort to just some pure luck.
Nice to see and hear from you Smilehexe as well and don’t feel like you need to leave. Your are very much welcomed here like everyone else. You have a right to your say so like everyone *cough* Cough* COUGH* here! So. Go for for it and say what it is on your mind. I do. Most of the time you have awesome point’s to say and make true sense then Voice of No Reason. :lol:
I agree with you about the hair thing. Rachel could have beautiful hair if, she did something with it. To me. Her style of hair reminds me on a 12 year old girls. Just long and no style to it. Then, the red streaks she has dyed in her hair look nasty and cheap. If, she want’s streaking. Then, it should be more burgandy colored streaks in her hair and not orange red. I think she needs a trim or layer’s and leave her hair naturally curly. She has natural waves. Oh well. I would do something with my long mop too if, I had the money. I don’t. So. I have just long hair too. If, I had money I would have my hair defiantly coifed and styled.
I know a thing or two about style! I may not be rich but, my mom has tought me a lot and my mother in law has been to Robert Power’s modeling school in the day. My mother in law would be rolliing her eye’s at Rachel and being miss. Fashion editor. You don’t wear thick black tights and black heels with a strapless summer looking gown together. Rachel at the Jumper premiere in Tokyo is what I’m talking about. Plus, wearing tall boot’s with a skirt that barely cover’s her bum and wearing the boot’s without socks I imagine when she took the boot’s off. I bet her feet staaannnnkkkk!!!!! She sometimes dresses in low class and poor taste. This fashion editor thing won’t last long and pan out. Plus, She has the mind comprehension of a 5th grader. At least that is my take on her.
Later. I will send more pictures later of what to wear and not to wear. Nice hearing from you Smilehexe.
:D
@#79
Hello Gasol_fan16! You had me ROFL with your triple “cough”-speech! Too funny! :lol:
Although I’m not much interested in fashion RB often looks weirdly dressed to me, too, I fully agree to what you say.
people who ask for her fashion advice must be really desperate.. she has no style and she doesn’t know how to act, annoying and boring
Her day job is shopping, getting her nails done, having lunch, and then doing some more shopping before she gets down to some serious shopping. Then she has photo ops in front of shopping malls. She isn’t quitting her day job, SHE HAS NO DAY JOB that anyone is paying her for. She isn’t even walking the dog anymore. I heard she had him put to sleep because she’s bored with him. Anyway Trashden the failed actor bought her a new puppy for valentine’s day so Thurman Merman is taking a dirt nap for sure.
The dumb ***** couldn’t get work as an actress because she sucks so bad, is a failed designer because she copied other people’s work and tried to pass it off as her own, and now she’s working on being a failed low-rent Rachel Ray and a failed fashion editor for a supermarket rag. What do you bet that she won’t even write the columns herself, but has her PR person do it? We know she can’t interview and sound intelligent, not even when asked how she liked a Fashion Week runway show. The idiot replied that it was some fabulous sh*t. Fine talk from someone who thinks she is (1) a designer and (2) knows anything about fasion. Complete and utter moron. Trashden sure likes them ugly, short and stupid.
Bravo InStyle, you’re so desperate to compete with Vogue and Elle, yet you stoop to a new low in making your new “fashion editor” an idiot with no talent, someone with no relevance that couldn’t score a cover on a leading fashion mag to save her life, someone with no scruples who stole someone else’s designs and tried to pass them off as her own. Wow, way to boost your credibility.
who would run to buy a magazine bc a talentless, stupid design thief is offering and advice, who cares what she thinks? it is absurd.
#84, not to mention if you’ve ever seen or read any of her interviews, she has the intelligence of potato chip, like she would actually be able to write anything intelligible. Please.
i have seen some of her oc work, she was the worst on the show
she was terrible in the last kiss, the same as oc, the worst
i have seen 2 of her interview and that is when i called her a dim wit
a real loser, and what is amazing, she keeps resurfacing, isn’t she even embarrassed, doesn’t she know that she is a loser
hc must a real idiot, just like her, how lonely can you get to hook with such ditz
Rachel the noted and well-exposed fashion thief who approached DKNY for the line she wanted to do, not the other way around (and they had to pull it after the copycat design scandal), is now doing a fashion editing job for a grocery store fashion magazine. PATHETIC. I wonder if the girl could even hold a real job for more than a couple of hours if she had to actually work to find one + work at one instead of her family connections buying her opportunities that hundreds of far more talented and hard working people would kill for– even a fashion editor job at a rag like InStyle! Without her family connections she would have NOTHING, working lot & lobby at a fast food restaurant because she can’t cook well enough to make burgers.
@86
Why in the world did you watch The last Kiss? Why did you even waste your time on the OC?
@Smilehexe
I have a simple honest question for you. No harm done seriously. I know your grudge with HC. But what’s you’re deal with RB?
@VOR
How come you’re being so mean lately?
@87
OMG! YOU’VE SEEN HER IN ACTION IN THE KITCHEN?! Oh wait a minute no you haven’t. In fact, you don’t know what the f*ck she can do cuz YOU DON”T KNOW HER. Besides, InStyle is hardly a rag and you know it. You’re just mad they picked your girl up.
@ Everyone
The girl got the job because she did something right. They don’t allow money to get in the way of the fashion world. If they did oh, it would be bad. Face it guys not matter how bad you 17 people want her to fail she won’t. She’s gonna keep going because people like her. You same 17 dumb@$$es don’t but believe me more people like her then hate her. And if not, she’s still getting attention because you guys give it her. You all will probably never learn.
@ altqueen
I watched the last kiss bc natalie portman was in garden state with zack braff, so I wanted to see zack braff, rachel was awful
I saw oc bc I was on TMZ and it was advertised there
what is your problem, rachel was the worst actor on oc, the worst actor on the last kiss, she did a terrible job on jumper, just as bad as hc, she stole designs and now she will fail at this instyle project
Not to get off the subject here but I thought we could use a little amusement
http://www.dailyfill.com/news/Heidi-Montag-And-Spencer-Pratt-To-Have-Traditional-Obnoxious-Wedding/20138/
maybe Rachel could swap a few ideas from Spedi??
@sharon I don’t think Rachel or Hayden would lower themselves that much, people see Rachel as a media troll here. I can’t think of a couple that trolls the media better than Heidi and Pratt-they are not anywhere near the same league.
@toni
I’ve never been a fan of RB’s. I’m just supportive of HC. I didn’t watch the OC but for three episodes and the was before RB was a regular. And the Last Kiss? Come one. Zack Braff has tons of awesome sh*t. Watch something he’s done that’s worth it. The reason you gave me for watching that movie almost sounded a bit like an excuse. Plus, Zach is so talented in so many different areas that he really shouldn’t mentioned on this board. It’s a bit of an insult.
Can we stop bringing up Jumper. I think we all agree when I say Jaime Bell came out with the upper hand in that movie.
@ 78 - Nothing could compensate a well-earned effort to just some pure luck.
She is just another Hollywood casualty who had “sold” her hollowed soul for an effortless fame!
@88 atlqueen
Yeah…you go girl! I couldn’t have said it better.
The Last Kiss just came out on Blue Ray. Guess they figured it was worth it.
@87 alka
Give your credible source for the clothing line being pulled. Put up or shut up.
I really feel sorry for you people who just can’t stand to see Rachel having some success and popularity in spite of your childish tactics.
InStyle isn’t a rag, but it’s also not in the same league as Vogue or H.Bazzar. They’re desperate and only offered it to her because no REAL actress would have time to do such lame useless things like this.
She gets endorsement deals from budget lotion line Jergens while Scarlett is the face of LV and Kiera is Chanel’s.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me when/how/why RB is considered a fashion expert? Seriously, how did it start and what is considered fashionable that she wears? I’m not being sarcastic, I just don’t get it!
The dress is nice. Old picture BTW JJ! This was in 2006! But, the red tight’s?!! What the hell??!! She looks like satan’s spawn!
Burn it!

Lilly you’re just picking out two names of actresses. There are other well known actress who have represented less costly lines of cosmetics. Such as Halle Berry for Revlon and Drew Barrymore for Cover Girl.
There are other actresses who have written guest columns for fashion magazines. I posted this on the first page of these comments but Chloe Sevigny for Elle and also I believe Marie Claire has had guest columnist.
Everyone should do their research before passing judgement.
But I suspect it’s not about the truth here anyway it’s all about trashing someone.
Who is Chloe Sevigny? Drew Barrymore is cute but she is just another has been.
Revlon is a mediocre priced product but they’re an international powerhouse, Jergens Kao products is still budget compared to them.
I know my products, have friends who work in the industry.
