If Rachel Roy weren’t a designer, she would probably be a fashion model. The California native is simply gorgeous!
Her exotic features, a combination of her Dutch and Indian heritage, really make her stand out. Plus, of course, there’s the fact that she is considerably tall, so the idea of her turning into a runway mannequin is very possible.

In September 2013, the designer was at Macy’s inside the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas. She was there to launch the 10-piece Fall/Winter 2013 collection of her diffusion line, RACHEL Rachel Roy.
Rachel wisely mixed simple and bold pieces for the event by wearing two leopard prints with folded-up jeans and ankle-strap d’Orsay pumps.

What do you think of Rachel’s bold leopard-print look? Could you see yourself rocking this style?
We don’t have her outfit details, but we’re guessing she probably wore pieces from her line for the launch. We’re pretty sure those ankle-strap heels are the “Ardythe” d’Orsay pumps:

The Ardythe pumps are crafted from polished and embossed leather materials. Apart from the buckled ankle straps, the shoes also feature a sexy d’Orsay silhouette that is infinitely flattering. The heels aren’t that high either (only 3.5 inches tall), so you can walk in them all day without issues.
