Rachel Zoe’s new pre-fall collection just landed in stores, and the celebrity stylist-turned-designer gave InStyle.com an exclusive behind-the-scenes peek at her lookbook photo shoot! “This collection leans towards more toward the ‘60s, and I think that’s what makes it a little different than my previous collections,” Zoe said of the inspiration behind this season’s lineup, which includes maxi skirts, leather jackets, and mod shifts in sequin stripes, black and white croc print, and watercolor printed florals. “It’s really about a girl who loves fashion but really never has the time to try that hard,” she explained. “So she can buy a great little dress and wear it five ways. I really think it’s about diversity in each piece.” Watch the video above—look out for a Skyler Morrison Berman cameo around 1:15—and pick up the new collection in stores now at Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks, and shopbop.com.

What does a Princess wear to meet a Queen? These two looks, shown here. Princess Charlene of Monaco chose a seafoam skirt suit and powder blue heels for a luncheon at Windsor Castle in England honoring the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee—where she met Duchess Catherine—and changed into a pale peach gown for a dinner in the royal’s honor at Buckingham Palace. A snakeskin clutch and ’20s-inspired finger curls completed her look. We wonder what her pre-planning conversation was going into that marathon of a day!
