Leave it to Rachel Bilson to make a basic jean and tee combo look like anything but. By adding a bright yellow Jimmy Choo clutch and a sparkly tuxedo blazer, she made a fashion statement with force. Rachel is right on point with the tuxedo trend. And the sequins. And the purple shadow. And yellow being the color of 2009...
