She's got flare! Rachel Zoe plays it safe as she steps out in bell bottoms


As a fashion designer and stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe is constantly setting trends.
And right now her favourite wardrobe item is Seventies-inspired bell bottoms.
On Thursday, the celebrity stylist was seen wearing dark denim flares to Cecconi's Restaurant in West Hollywood, California, as she arrived for a birthday lunch.

Stepping out of her car in black platform wedges, the Rachel Zoe Project star appeared to be on a very important phone call, with her smart phone glued to her ear.
Yet, the 41-year-old's eclectic ensemble was still hard to miss.
Mixing hippie chic with a hint of preppy, Rachel teamed her flares with a boxy Chanel tweed jacket - another one of her signature wardrobe staples - and a long, loose black blouse.

The fashion designer added some sparkle to her outfit with gold bangle and chained Chanel necklace, matching her retro style coat.
Concealing her eyes, per usual, the blonde star sported over-sized gradient-lens sunglasses and a black brimmed hat.
Showing off more designer duds, Rachel was seen carrying a quilted Chanel pocketbook and a Stella McCartney Kids shopping bag, which was most likely a gift for the party she attended.

But she's certainly accustomed to children by now, as the blonde beauty and her husband Rodger Berman have a two-year-old son, Skyler.
They've been married 17 years, but the loving couple still make time for romance.
On Wednesday, the duo hit up Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood without their 2-year-old son, Skyler.
Again, Rachel was seen glamourising bell bottoms with a chained necklace and Chanel handbag, but varying ones than seen on Thursday.

Zoe went for a sleek, dark look with black flared trousers, accented with a shiny black stripe that she teamed with a black tunic - again - and an art deco-inspired bomber.
Learning the trick of keeping it effortlessly chic like his fashion-forward wife, Rodger was seen in a button-down white shirt, black blazer coat and designer denim.
The couple were arm-in-arm as they arrived and left the Melrose Avenue eatery, publicly showing their affection for one another.

Rachel has been in the fashion industry for 20 years and styles the likes of Hollywood stars such as Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway.
She recently announced that she's working on a pre-fall clothing line that won't include any pink, as it's clearly apparent she prefers darker tones.
She certainly has her hands full and may be struggling to manage it all, as The Rachel Zoe Project has been on Bravo since 2008, but the cable network has reported that viewership was down 30 percent from its previous installment.

The all-black look has also been a favourite of late for Zoe, who donned a dark outfit last week for a shopping and lunch trip in Beverly Hills.
Zoe, who is arguably one of the most well known stylists of the 2000s, is known for popularizing the so-called boho-chic looked that consists of over-sized jewelry and loose fitting clothes.
Her son, Skyler, usually is dressed rather stylishly thanks to his famous mother.
