Rachel Zoe

The celebrity stylist's job is so much more than merely shoehorning skinny clients into spangly frocks for the red carpet. No, they are now becoming celebrities in their own right

Rachel Zoe (pronounced "Zo" as in rhymes with ‘go'), is possibly the most influential, most infamous, richest and thinnest stylist on the planet. Famous for creating clones of her super skinny lollypop signature look - vintage tops, maxi dresses, flowing hair, supersize accessories, size zero body - on Keira Knightley, Kate Beckinsale, Salma Hayak, Jennifer Garner and Paris Hilton. She transformed Lindsay Lohan from spotty child star to fashion icon and helped make poor little rich girl, Nicole Richie the ‘face' of Jimmy Choo.

Zoe has a degree in psychology but no formal fashion training and reputedly charges $6,000 a day.
