Zoe Rachel and her Style Clones

Remember when Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan looked like this?

If you think about it, it really wasn’t that long ago. Just a few years ago in fact, during the 2nd season of The Simple Life and the filming of Herbie when Nicole Ritchie was considered chubby next to her Paris Hilton counterpart and Lindsay Lohan was plastered all over US Weekly with thunder thighs. But what triggered the dramatic change from cheap fashion victim to boho chic overload? Two words: Zoe Rachel.

For those of you who haven’t heard this name before, you can thank her for both Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan’s sudden and extremely similar change of looks; the wispy long blonde hair, the skimpy flowing gowns, the jutting out of neck bones, and the fake copper tans. All of which of course, she herself boasts. Earning up to $6,000 a day, Rachel Zoe has dressed everyone from Mischa Barton, Kate Hudson and Jennifer Garner. But two of her best and longest standing clients are of course Nicole and Lindsay, who seem attached to her bony hips.

In an interview with The Times, she reportedly said, “I’m not trying to make them look like me. But when you spend a lot of time with someone, you rub off on each other. I think I’m kind of like an older sister to Lindsay and Nicole.”

And there she is, pictured above with both her clones. Never too far behind either of them, in an eerily creepy way. Personally, I really despise what she’s doing. A stylist should work with each client differently creating loooks for them and giving them direction to suit their needs.

Everyone has a different personality and everyone has a different look, but within months of hiring Rachel Zoe, both not only wore the same clothes, but also weighed the same number. Keira Knightley is the next actress to join in on the Zoe bandwagon. An unfortunate move as Keira has always managed to look stunningly elegant on the red carpet. The only pro? Keira already has the weight thing down pat so we don’t have to watch another actres shrink to sample size.
