Rachel Bilson is QUITE the style maven and has set herself apart from many of the Hollywood IT girls by always being en pointe when it comes to trends and style. So it is no surprise whatsoever that she would appear on the cover of the hot magazine UK InStyle. It’s where all the IT girls want to be, but you know what they say, only the cream rises. Rachel delivered a smoking photo session for the magazine and honoured InStyle and her fans with some dish on her personal life. It’s about time is all I have to say. When it comes to being a star, Rachel says that she actually hates the attention, and considering that she’s an actress, some may find that strange. But I guess she just loves what she does, and she does it well. As far as style and trends and big time labels, yes, she is definitely a trend setter, but you won’t catch this girl spending too much money. She doesn’t often wear expensive things, and thinks that things like $1400 shoes are ‘crazy’….Rachel? She’ll wait for the sale. Not that she won’t succumb to the oohs of high fashion. She recently had the opportunity to meet Karl Lagerfield, the current Creative Director for the house of Chanel, and easily one of the most influential designers in the fashion industry. And Rachel experienced a little bit of her own star gasp, describing the experience as surreal, like meeting the pope, or the president, or a cartoon. (no difference between those three almost) One of her icons though that does inspire is, surprisingly enough, Victoria Beckham, the woman everyone loves to hate. But Rachel respects the fact that Victoria does her own thing and thinks that takes a lot of energy to pull off. And having been the Maid of Honor for her best friend recently, she kind of freaked out about the experience. With the groom being a writer and all, she felt some pressure to be funny. But the wedding itself confirmed a few things for Rachel. She’s not ready to settle down yet, with a man, but thinks mommyhood isn’t that far off the mark. Perhaps the next couple of years? And since she is heatedly connected to Hayden Christien, she says well, anything can happen. She says she finds herself dating actors because that’s just the world she’s in, it is who she surrounds herself with. As for Hayden? A totally guys guy from Rachel’s point of view, in the tractors and such kind of way. She is learning to play chess with *a certain someone* but *that person* happens to be very good and she doesn’t think she’ll ever beat *that person* but that’s her end goal. Well well well, Rachel Bilson plays chess and buys stuff on sale. Who woulda thunk? You can check the rest of her smoking in November’s issue of UK Instyle.
