Is The New: Rachel Zoe and Carrie Bradshaw?

Feb 04, 2007 @ 3:16am

We haven't seen Rachel Zoe in person yet this season, but we did see her on the side of a bus.

Rachel's new ad campaign for skinny cell phones hits the streets this week, and here's the fun part: several buses have been slapped with a giant photo of the tiny stylist! It reminds us so much of Carrie Bradshaw's bus ad, and we started thinking - Rachel Zoe and Carrie Bradshaw are a pretty close match.

Aside from the streaky highlights, Rachel's a 40something style magnet whose glammed out look has girls in middle America scrambling for floaty tops and skinny jeans. Carrie's much the same, except her poison was Manolos. And instead of Mr. Big, Rachel Zoe has Ms. Teeny Tiny Lindsay, Ms. Teeny Tiny Keira, and Ms. Teeny Tiny Mischa...

Anyway, the bus blurred by so fast that we couldn't get a photo. So. The first person to email us a good shot of Rachel Zoe's bus gets a $20 Starbucks card.

And yes, if we had a $20 Starbucks card, this entry might be more coherent. It's Fashion Week - just smile and nod.

Um, and if Carrie Bradshaw looked like a 60-year-old troll that lived under highway overpasses. Yeah, then she could pass for Rachel Zoe's younger sister.

Well, according to articles, Zoe is only in her 30s (not that I believe it though).

Actually they are very similar physically, the hair, the petite build and youthful appearance. So well spotted there. I quite like Zoe, she seems very down to earth and passionate about what she does. However as every successful person will agree when you are hot you are hot but soon after comes the backlash and Zoe is suffering from that right now. The only difference is that it is coming from a couple of spoilt, anorexic looking kids. As far as I am concerned it is all a joke because no one forced Nicole Ritchie, Lindsey Lohan etc to wear those clothes in fact Zoe made Ritche what she is now. Pre-Zoe, Ritchie was just Paris Hilton's shadow albeit a much chubbier one.
