Rachael Ray's Wardrobe

If she has a wardrobe consultant for her 30 Minute Meals show, I think either that person hates Rachael or they are blackmailing her, because the things she wears are really awful. It's always the same outfit: a tight, solid-colored long-sleeved shirt, tucked into fairly high rise jeans. I'm not sure this is a look that will flatter much of anyone, but it's very dated, and is particularly bad on Rachael, given her relatively small chest and big hips. Rach isn't fat by any means, but she doesn't have an hourglass figure and all that tight tucked in shirt does is illustrate that.

She dressed much better on her $40 a Day show, and on her talk show, so I guess it's the way she dresses when she's cooking. I am glad she gives some thought to comfort and keeping her clothes out of what she's preparing, but she needs to overhaul the wardrobe. I don't get it why she hasn't.

On a related note: I don't get Giada de Laurentiis's over use of low cut tops. Unlike Rachael, she does wear figure-flattering clothing, but I don't need to see the cleavage on every single show. I've seen speculation that this is a Food Network executive decision, and it wouldn't surprise me. I could write a book about the things I don't get about Food Network's decision making.
