And Zoe is a real style icon. Surprisingly versatile and fashionable images from Deschanel can be safely considered as a guide for beginner fashionistas.
Biography
Zoe was born into a hereditary Hollywood family. Her dad (Caleb Deschanel) is a successful cameraman, and her mother (Mary Joe) is an actress. Zoe's older sister, Emily, is also an actress. So the girl, as they say, simply "was written in the family" to take the path of replenishing her famous movie family.
The full name received by the future star at birth is Zoe Claire Deschanel. She was born on January 17, 1980. By the way, initially parents put a special meaning in the name of the youngest daughter. Caleb and Mary were very fond of the works of D. Salinger, and especially the novel Frannie and Zooey. So they named their daughter in honor of the main character of the book. But, growing up, the girl discovered that she liked the pronunciation of “Zoe” much more. So, the original meaning of the name enclosed by the parents was lost, but Caleb and Mary are not sad at all about this.
The Deschanel sisters are very friendly, like their entire family. The main gift for the eminent clan is the opportunity to work together in the same project. Fortunately, such chances often fall. In addition, Deschanel love to appear together at various social events, and indeed they try to spend a lot of time together.

Singer
It is worth noting that playing music is probably the only conscious choice of Zoe. Being an actress was dictated to her by the reigning profession in her family. But Zoe’s personal desire was for music. The girl even planned to specially study the craft of musical theater, but then she realized that her fate - cinema and television - would not let her go anyway.
Zoe studied music at the hobby level: wrote songs, invented different numbers. But soon the music penetrated into all spheres of her life - Zoe even began to sing in films, write music for some of the paintings in which she played. Often, the soundtracks from Zoe were comic in nature, such as, for example, Who are you from the movie “Always Say Yes.”
Fortunately, Zoe, her film career was so successful that music classes did not interfere with her at all, and even benefited. So, Zoe began to release studio albums, arrange live performances. For many years, the actress was engaged in musical creativity as part of the duo She & Him, where Matthew Ward was the guitarist and part-time producer. On the shoulders of Zoe was the vocals, piano, and sometimes the ukulele (ukulele). Listening to Zoe Deschanel’s voice is just as enjoyable as watching her inborn artistic talents, both in the movie and in the video clips.

Zoe Deschanel's Style
When you look at Zoe, it seems that this forever young girl will never become an adult bored aunt. But the youngest representative of the cinema dynasty Deschanel is already 37 years old! This bright actress and singer endows everyone not only with her roles and delightful voice, but also with inexhaustible energy. And her clothing style always either complements or restrains this fountain of emotions a little.
For example, this ensemble clearly demonstrates the second case. The idea itself is very extraordinary: both print and cut, a handbag chosen for this along with it. But the color scheme does not allow the costume to become too flashy: deep blue, restrained dark red, and two auxiliary colors - black and beige. In this design, a wraparound mini-skirt will never look vulgar, and a simple geometric pattern covering the entire top of the ensemble will not be either boring or clumsy.
Solid images always look on Zoe no worse than color ones. For example, this is a white closed dress with a Basques. The top is adjacent, the skirt is pleated, everything looks very elegant. And brightly decorated boats on a small heel add zest along with it.
White outfits always match a sultry brunette with a dark skin tone. So, the actress looks equally impressive in a short dress, streaked with bizarre lace, and in a fluffy doll dress. And the variation on the theme “white top, black bottom” performed by Zoe will never be boring: just appreciate this ensemble of a fluffy skirt and a shirt with a bold neckline in the shape of a heart!
Zoe Deschanel shows off beautiful ensembles for everyday style. These are options for combining simple and convenient attributes of clothing with a skirt, jeans, and a coat. The comic images of Zoe captured on Instagram can sometimes and should be taken seriously. For example, this striped sweater, from which the aesthetics of the 1990s breathes, again returning to the peak of popularity.
Zoe combines her coat and trench coats with the rest of the clothes according to the principle of color harmony: in the first case, all the accessories were selected in black and red, in the second Zoe decided to combine brown, beige and black.
And the next preppy outfit is very versatile. When the cardigan is buttoned up, the ensemble is suitable for going to school or work if there is no strict dress code. And as soon as the buttons on the blouse are unbuttoned or she is completely removed, the outfit becomes evening. Ballet flats together with high heels are a trick that helps to make the image more defenseless, fragile, and thereby more interesting for members of the opposite sex.
Evening toilets from Zoe Deschanel are always very different. They can be gentle, luxurious or even fatal! Consider the most interesting examples in order. The desire for a combination of dark blue and deep red is not without reason for Zoe: this gamma is in perfect harmony with the color type of the actress. Here we see a no less successful dress style, correctly outperforming the Deschanel figure (type "Pear").
One more visual device is observed here, which we will see more than once in the images of Zoe.Since the girl’s height is quite modest, she very competently combines tights and shoes: they must be matched to match her legs to look longer. Let's look at a few more examples of applying this trick. By the way, in the last photo there are no pantyhose at all, but the dress quite openly opens the legs. Therefore, Zoe uses flesh-colored shoes in her outfit. And again, an ideal image is obtained.
The gentle notes in Zoe Deschanel's outfits always look very natural, correspond to her inadvertent role of a very young girl. So, a short dress of a milky cream shade has a girlish simple and naive style. Impeccable black stiletto boats shade the image.
Another outfit, fully seasoned in light beige tones, already looks more solid: length, style, sparkle of rhinestones - this is no longer a girl from a neighboring yard, but a true princess in anticipation of her gentleman. In this outfit, you can safely win hearts.
The pale blue palette is another great option for creating fabulous doll outfits. The images created by Zoe in the following two pictures demonstrate her ability to wear dresses with puffy skirts correctly: if the style includes sleeves, you can afford loose hair. If the dress is of a bustier style, the ideal option is a hairstyle with hair gathered up.
The actress knows how to wear trendy shades of red and blue not only together, but also separately. A great example of this is the photo below. The blue outfit is more restrained, and the red one is fatal, seductive. The first is appropriate both in the evening and in the daytime (especially if you put a black jacket on top), but the second option is exclusively for cocktails and special occasions.
Maxi length is associated with the red carpet, with a certain celebration. And most women create with the help of a dress of this length an elegant, often very powerful image. Something similar is shown in the next photo and Zoe. In addition to such a mesmerizing length, this image is accompanied by a softly flowing satin, an open back, and the original decor of the upper part of the dress.
But most often (even dressed in maxi) Zoe creates exactly a gentle and defenseless image. At the same time, the actress always demonstrates a very interesting cut of the dress, always an original choice of fabric and additions to the dress.
And Zoe is one of the few girls who loves crazy patterns in clothes - any. Moreover, absolutely any print of a Hollywood beauty fits perfectly, whether it be a cage, peas, stripes or flowers!
