The race for street-style star was tight, but from the crew of trendsetters, including Olivia Palermo, Zoe Saldana, and Kate Bosworth, Rachel Bilson emerged the victor. With an off-duty style that captures the both effortless vibe of the California girl and the fashion darling, Rachel's adept at blending cutoffs and couture.
