Rachel Zoe looked incredible as she attended a star-studded dinner at Canters to celebrate the opening of Michael Kors’ new Rodeo Drive store in LA on Tuesday.

Before taking her seat, the American fashion designer showed off her gorgeous ensemble.

She showcased her age-defying looks and physique in the thin-strapped garment, that she complemented with a statement buckle necklace.

Rachel, who is a stylist to some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, landed the cover of Haute Living NY in 2023.

And in her cover story she revealed she’s been held back but some big stars helped pull her back up.

She said: ‘We’re coming up in this time now where it’s like, women for women. But women were the ones that literally, every time I got up, kicked me down — every single time.

‘I was canceled before canceling was a thing. But if I had quit every time a woman tried to have me canceled, I would have been done 20 years ago.

‘The only thing I can say that helped me get up, in all honesty, was that I had very supportive clients.

‘Bada** females like Salma Hayek, Cameron Diaz, and Kate Hudson — women who said, “We know who you are, you know who you are, Rodger knows who you are, so why are you listening to anyone that doesn’t know you? They don’t have that right.”’

She added: ‘I made friends and mentors like Tommy Hilfiger, my greatest mentor and friend to this day, and knew that if enough people gave me a chance like Tommy did, then I was able to stay motivated to keep going.’

Female empowerment was also the reason she launched her Climbing in Heels podcast last fall.

‘I started Climbing in Heels because I have an exorbitant [number] of powerful women in my life that constantly inspire me,’ Zoe explained. 

‘It just so happens that this epiphany coincided with an intimate dinner party she attended last year with 40 different women — all powerful, all of different backgrounds, and all from different walks of life.

She decided that she wanted to celebrate these women. ‘[Climbing in Heels] doesn’t necessarily mean they wear heels; it’s very tongue-in-cheek,’ she said.

 ‘I say “in heels,” which to me really represents our ability to command a room or a situation but still embrace our superpowers, whatever those may be.’
