She is a stylist, so of course we expect Rachel Zoe to rock the best outfits herself (if she didn’t who would hire her?). Sometimes, in our opinion, she gets it wrong (not into those creased, baggy boilersuits she is fond of). But last night at the Vogue Festival cocktail party at the Royal Geographical Society, she rocked it. Tuxedo detailing, cummerbund, split black skirt dazzling with jet jewels… Her power platforms and white yeti put us in the mind of a young Cruella de Vil, but we’ll forgive her that minor detail. Adore, adore adore.

Jet set: Rachel Zoe's dress… we likey

It’s all from her own collection, she says, though as the pieces themselves absent from the Spring/Summer lookbook, they are probably from A/W. But the essence of this look is there – and if the lookbook is anything to go by, it’s going to be awesome. Having not been enamoured with the early collections (too much brown; handkerchief hems; unflattering drapey jersey that only skinny people can wear but for some reason is mostly bought by the larger lady…), all is now forgiven, and this season’s is her best yet. She’s taken it up a notch with more structure, long, languid lines and lots of luxe detailing.

This season, Rachel Zoe will mostly be channelling tuxedo tops, cummerbunds and sequins

 The devil is in the detail…

Not usually a fan of the huge concealed platform, but on this occasion we will let the Zoe-meister off cos she is rocking them
