Look of the Day: Rachel Bilson in Burberry Prorsum

Puffer jackets have a reputation of being frumpy—warm, but frumpy. At the Burberry Prorsum show during London fashion week, Rachel Bilson proved there is hope for the lowly puffer.

As she sat front row and posed for photogs, Rachel looked stunning in a head-to-toe Burberry ensemble. She wore a charcoal tweed dress, with leather accents and a daring cutout back, paired with ankle strap booties and topped off with a big puffy coat with a flared waist. The sharp leather detailing on the coat's collar and sleeves, as well as its unique shape, contributed to its refined and edgy appearance.

A bright red envelope clutch, edgy ponytail and minimal makeup finished off her look for an altogether chic ensemble. What do you think of Rachel's look?

Rachel Bilson

Rachel Sarah Bilson (born August 25, 1981) is an American actress. Bilson grew up in a California show business family, and made her television debut in 2003, subsequently becoming well-known for playing Summer Roberts on the prime time drama series The O.C. Bilson made her film debut in the 2006 film The Last Kiss and starred in the 2008 action/science fiction film Jumper.

Bilson and Adam Brody her co-star on The O.C., dated for three years. Their relationship ended in 2006.She met Hayden Christensen on the set of Jumper in 2007 and became engaged in 2008.In June 2010, US Weekly reported that they have split up.In August 2010, her rep confirmed that the couple's engagement was off.Three months later in November 2010, it was reported that Bilson and Christensen have begun dating again.

Bilson has been recognized by several media sources as being a "fashion junkie".She has described herself as having a "vintage" sense of style, and noted Kate Moss and Diane Keaton as inspirations.Her clothes often have a "boho" feel to them. She approached DKNY Jeans in late 2007 with a view to design a clothing line with the popular fashion brand.Together they created Edie Rose. The collection was launched in September 2008. It consisted of mainly black and white separates with a splash of yellow that could easily work with an existing wardrobe. Her idea was to keep fashionable items accessible to young women by keeping the prices of each piece under $100.An advertising image was released in July 2008 which featured Bilson modelling her Edie Rose collection.Of her line, she said in an interview with Teen Vogue that "I wanted to keep it as separate as possible from Rachel Bilson the actress. I'm hoping people will appreciate it for the clothes, not the person behind them."Much of her fashion collection was lost when her home was burglarized in May 2009.Before appearing in Maxim, Bilson had turned down requests to appear seminude in men's magazines, specifying that she feels that her body "is sacred" and "not there for the whole world to see".[41] Bilson's fashions and sense of style made her the unwitting target of the Bling Ring, who burglarized her home on several occasions.
