Style Moments You Probably Missed From Golden Globes 2018

Tip #1: Avoid looking like you tried too hard
"You want to wear something comfortable and effortless," the designer revealed. "The goal is to be the best version of yourself and appear as though you didn't try too hard."

Tip #2: Create balance
"If you're comfortable with showing skin, focus on one area," she suggested. "If you show your legs, be more conservative with your upper body and vise versa." 

Tip #3: Use accessories to show you're a little unpredictable
Keep them on their toes! "Adding an unexpected bag or piece of jewelry can instantly elevate your look and add a touch of glamour," the style icon urged. 

Tip #4: Don't forget mints!
Rachel's purse checklist: cell phone, lipstick, beauty blotters and a pack of gum or mints.
