Part 3: If We Were Rachel Zoe...

And finally, gentle people, we conclude our Rachel Zoe segment with one trend that will never really go away...


Sparklies! Sparkly dresses have been quite the thing lately, haven't they. Clare Danes was positively radiant at the Emmys.  But Claire shouldn't get to have all of the fun. As such, we have also found some gowns for the following lucky actresses.


Zoe Saldana or Carey Mulligan in Dennis Basso. We're torn on this. We think this dress would look great on both of these two ladies. Both are tiny enough to still look tiny in such a voluminous dress. We also think both ladies can pull off the size of it. We know Zoe can, a la Givenchy, Oscars 2010 (see pic below). Carey, on the other hand, could really bring a '60s/ '70s vibe to this with her Mia Farrow haircut that would be killer.

Part 2: If We Were Rachel Zoe...

As we have already explored ombre dresses for some of our clientele, we must now move onto other dresses and other trends for other notable clients.

Floral Prints. Call us crazy, but we kinda think that Christina Hendricks could look gorgeous in this dress below. We weren't entirely sure though, so we felt the need to do a little side-by-side comparison of Ms. Hendricks' recent red carpet appearance in Zac Posen with this Monique Lhuillier dress.We will now tell you, dear hearts, that we absolutely hated Chrissy in this Zac Posen gown. Why? One word (ok three): the atrocious sleeves. She looks like an extra from Moulin Rouge. Not good. However, we like the sentiment of the dress, which is soft and feminine. As such, we think this the Monique Lhuillier gown would have been much more successful, which would expose the narrowest part of her body, her shoulders. Plus, the rouching at the waist and flowing skirt would have been very flattering on her body, and the sweetness of the floral print would have been offset by her utter sauciness. We also think her red hair would have picked up the pinks and gold tones in the print beautifully.
