The smoky-eyed, superskinny look you see all over the red carpet is the brainchild of Rachel Zoe. Lately, however, she's taken flack for this supposedly unhealthy aesthetic. In her new book, Style A to Zoe, she champions a fabulous attitude above all.

Zoe breaks the 30-and-over rule that keeps me in pencil skirts: "Let's show those legs."
WHO KNEW?

RACHEL'S RULES
1. Go for big-impact accessories rather than fiddly jewelry.
2. Don't blindly follow trends.
3. Buy vintage pieces to make your wardrobe more unique.
