Rachel Bilson to Star in New TV Show!

Feb 9, 2011 @ 4:43 pm

Rachel Bilson is returning to TV! Ever since the hit series The O.C. introduced us to Bilson in 2003, we’ve followed her career as she made the jump to the big screen, became one of young Hollywood’s hottest fashion icons and turned in memorable guest-starring performances on Chuck and How I Met Your Mother. Oh, and did we mention that she’s also an InStyle contributing editor? Now comes news that Bilson is set to team up again with Josh Schwartz, the man who created The O.C., for his new CW series Hart of Dixie. The show revolves around a New York City doctor who relocates to a small Southern town after inheriting a medical practice, according to Deadline. (We’re imagining it as Sex and The City meets Northern Exposure.) The actress’ rep has confirmed to us that she’s thisclose to inking a deal, so all that’s left to do is wait for the premiere!

Glee Style: Lea Michele’s Star Necklace Found!

Feb 9, 2011 @ 12:27 pm

Last night on Glee, Finn (Cory Monteith) gave ex-girlfriend Rachel (Lea Michele) a star necklace, a  Valentine’s Day/break-up/late Christmas gift. Why? Because she’s a star! So, we searched around to find who designed this piece, and it’s by Ryan Ryan Jewelry, the same company that designed the Finn and R initial necklaces that Rachel wears on the show. (Glee‘s costume designer Lou Eyrich commissioned the pieces, the Ryan Ryan website states.) The necklace features a half-inch star with a floating .03 diamond on the chain, and it’s available for $195 to $250 on mcssl.com with variations of white, rose and yellow gold. Great Valentine’s Day gift, right?

Style to Watch: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’s Noomi Rapace

Feb 9, 2011 @ 10:35 am

Though Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig are filming the American adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in Sweden right now, actress Noomi Rapace pioneered the role of the story’s heroinecomputer hacker Lisbeth Salanderin the original Swedish version in 2009. Since then, the Swedish actress appeared on many red carpets, and her personal style is much different than the dark, tattooed woman she plays in the film—it’s classy, sophisticated and somewhat daring. Just this week she wore a menswear-inspired look by Viktor & Rolf (left) and for InStyle’s Golden Globes after-party this year, she wore a flirty red and pink dress by Zac Posen (right). Rapace is currently on set, filming her first English-speaking role alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law in Sherlock Holmes 2, out this December.
