Cat Deeley & InStyle's Special Project Editor Ali Forman
InStyle Magazine put together yet another fabulous party, Special Projects Editor Ali Forman did it again, this time celebrating summer atop of The London Hotel.
It was an intimate crowd and actress Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Katie Cassidy, Jessica Stroup, Jordana Brewster, Cat Deeley and Jack Huston were just some of the celebrities that attended the West Hollywood bash. We were fortunate enough to attend and what we loved best…
September 08: Rachel Zoe and Kate Hudson attend Bravo's The Rachel Zoe Project series launch party at The Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City.
Rachel Zoe dresses high profile celebrities and as a result demands high fees rumored at upwards of $6,000 a day.
The Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo is about the inner workings of Zoe’s world as she attempts to turn her style into a brand.
Zoe makes the perfect reality star and the decision to have a cable show was really a no brainer as she didn’t have much to lose in the general public’s eye. While respected in the fashion world for dressing high profile stars like Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudsen, Zoe’s public image desperately needed a make over due to accusations of drug use and promoting the stick-thin image. Los Angeles Times once claimed Zoe was “single-handedly bringing anorexia back.”
“I don’t think it’s fair to say that I’m responsible because I’m a thin person, that because I’m influencing their style I’m influencing what they eat,” Zoe stated. “There was this crazy rumor that I was getting diet pills from Mexico and distributing them. I was like, ‘Okay, I’ve never even tried cocaine. I don’t do drugs — I’m too much of a control freak’.”
But Zoe’s past drama in the press seemed to finally work in her favor. The premiere episode of her reality show got higher ratings than the first episode of Project Runway with 527,000 eyes.
Bloggers immediately took to the Internet and typed they were surprised how personable Zoe came across on television. The mainstream press, however, turned out to be a different story. New York Times television critic Ginia Bellafante called Zoe “a pox on humanity” and her “mad consumption … downright unseemly.”
Zoe, who reportedly cried after reading the NYT review, once again defended herself telling the LA Times: “It was the strangest thing in the world for someone who has never met me to accuse me of making our society superficial. Judging the state of society based on me? A ‘pox’? This show is not an effort to solve world issues. It’s a bit of glamour, a bit of an escape.”
Zoe got the last laugh as despite criticism show ratings continued to climb and we here at Style Seen Daily know that Zoe is going no where but up, up, up.
SSD Co-Founder Crystal Fambrini profiled Zoe for Current TV.
I have a thing for graphic t shirts. I have a ton in my closet and I like being able to throw on a shirt that has a cool design or cute saying that will get people to perhaps crack a smile. Or in Gossip Girl star Jessica’s Szohr’s case, crack open a coke and smile.
I spent the day with 90210 star Annalynne McCord and her two sisters Rachel and Angel getting make overs at the Valerie Beverly Hills beauty shop.
Valerie’s special cosmetics line is loved by many celebrities and Annalynne McCord raved over the “foreplay” & “happy ending” mascara’s.
The paparazzi stood outside taking pictures through the windows as we chatted about everything from our love lifes to what’s in our closet. The sisters also gave me the first scoop that they are now working on a fashion book tentatively titled “The McCord’s Guide To Style” that is expected to be out later this year. The three sisters are also working on a clothing line set to come up in 2012.
These 3 sisters are so cute! The sisters who live, play and work together…. so fun. Annalynne wants to get her sisters on 90210 and is pushing that really hard with the producers (she is welcoming her fans writing in as well to support the cause)
Annalynne had her sisters move out from Georgia this year and is so much happier now that her family is living with her. Their father is a pastor, girls are really focused on helping others and giving back. Annalynne talks very passionately about their involvement with “The Blind Project” — an organization that raises awareness and money for victims of sex traffiking – part of the proceeds of their book will go to the organization. She was so sincere with her desire to help with this nonprofit that it actually made my eyes water!!!

So, what do you think, is a reality show in the works for these 3 sisters and their fashionable lives? Watch out Kardashians!
Louis Vuitton’s brand new evening collection clutches are now available….and I’m drooling as I write.
It’s been a few seasons since I have been this excited about LV’s clutches.
I have picked out a few of my favorite clutches from the collection.
THIS JUST IN: Kate Hudson will be appearing on Project Runway Season Six.
After almost a year of waiting, Project Runway FINALLY returns to television. The new season is on Lifetime, not Bravo, Thursdays at 10pm ET/PT.
Now we can’t tell you if Hudson will be a judge or what exactly she will be doing, you will have to set your Tivo’s for that, but we can let you know that she will be looking fabulous thanks to her stylist Rachel Zoe (who of course has her own reality show on PR’s ex network, Bravo).

UNIVERSAL CITY, CA - AUGUST 09: TV personality Kim Kardashian arrives at the Teen Choice Awards 2009 held at the Gibson Amphitheatre on August 9, 2009 in Universal City, California. (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic)
Out with the old and in with the new! Nothing is more therapeutic when trying to recover from a broken heart than a quick change in style. The broken heart may not be able to get fixed that fast, but at least you can look better than ever and make your ex wince in pain.
This is exactly how tv personality Kim Kardashian decided to play it tonight when she arrived at FOX’s Teen Choice Awards in Hollywood. No longer a dark brunette, Kim now has blonde locks. And I admit, I had to do a double take tonight when spotting her on the carpet. It’s amazing how much your hair color can change your appearance.
No doubt her superstar athlete ex Reggie Bush is taking notice as well. So, what do you think about Kim’s new change in style?
Bright Heels
Another thing I noticed on the carpet was stars wearing super bright colored shoes that did not match their dress at all. This choice is shoe style I thought odd at first, but then after seeing it on stars such as Cameron Diaz and Leighton Meester, I decided I really am digging it. It takes some guts to pull this look off. And I like that.
Plaid Shirts
As for the guys, plaid shirts were / are everywhere! It seems this americana trend is picking up steam and will be with us for awhile. Heartthrob Robert Pattison was rocking this look as well.
Take a peak below at some of the fashions found at the Teen Choice Awards…
