Rachel Bilson first came onto the scene in 2003 with her role as Summer Roberts on the hit televisions series The O.C. And while her acting career has been on the down low since then, with a few small roles here and there, she still stands as a paparazzi favorite.
Her engagement to actor Hayden Christenson may have helped with that, but so may the fact that her laidback California chic style is just too fashionable to ignore.
Whether she’s running errands in her Toyota Pruis, heading to a meeting with entertainment industry people, or walking the red carpet at the latest fashion event, she never fails to put together outfits that look completely effortless, carefree, and distinctly unexpected.
She loves to mix it up, choosing to go denim casual with sandals one day, or crisp and sharp in a blazer and heels the next. And boy does this girl love sunglasses, her favorite being the classic Ray-Ban Wayfarers. Her latest career role as Style Director for Sunglass Hut seems like the perfect match for her.
She may not be as recognized as other female actresses of her generation, but it looks like Bilson is headed places when it comes to making a name for herself in fashion. Snag her style with these great pieces inspired by a few of her latest looks.
