3 Days of Denim with Zanna Roberts-Rassi
Meet Zanna Roberts-Rassi—the fashion industry’s modern renaissance woman, if there ever was one. Don’t believe us? Her impressive professional resume includes Editor-at-Large for Marie Claire magazine, co-founder of customer favorite Milk Makeup (watch out—they currently have a collaboration with Wu-Tang in the works!), and judge on Glam Masters. You’ve also seen her as a fashion correspondent on E! News where most recently, she’s taking the celebrity interviews from the red carpet into the back seat of a car with her series, Commuter Beauty. And that’s not it—Zanna is also mum to twin girls, her most important role of them all.
Whatever hat she’s wearing though, you can be sure it’s a stylish one—Zanna not only works reporting the fashion trends, she’s constantly setting them as a style icon herself. But her journey to outfit icon didn’t happen overnight. “I grew up in the magazine business from 19 years old, surrounded by exquisite designer clothing and fabulous fashionable people,” she says. “As a result I had style A.D.D, constantly switching my look up…. Getting ready would take too long and all too often I found myself in the position of hating what I was wearing and the self-fulfilling lack of confidence that came with that.” It wasn’t until she finally found herself in an aesthetic, “feminine-tomboy,” that Zanna’s fashion sensibility really took shape. “Suddenly everything became easier. Shopping, dressing, styling shoots. More importantly, I became more confident in me, which let’s face it, is all that really matters!” See her three Good American looks that you’ll be sure to rock with confidence too!

OUTFIT 1: Effortlessly chic day-to-day
For a cool but comfy outfit that servers her day-to-day, Zanna goes with what she feels best in. "The ah-ha moment came when I figured out what my personal style was," she explains of her personal aesthetic. "I put on a cool pair of beaten converse, some skinny jeans, and an oversized menswear blazer..." The mixing of girly-girl and tomboy, her usual uniform, weighs throughout this first look. A crisp oxford-style shirt keeps things polished, but distressed detailing on the denim and a baggier silhouette on top keeps it chill as well.

"For when we finally get one!" Zanna says of her go-to date night outfit with husband Mazdack Rassi. For this out-on-the-town look, Zanna mixes materials, upping the edge on her feminine velvet bodysuit with leather skinnies and studded accessories for a rock 'n roll vibe. The look is the perfect balance of cool and sexy while being versatile and appropriate enough for any evening affair, she explains.

OUTFIT 3: The dressy affair
Zanna's third outfit has us swapping out the skinnies for a hot alternative. "I'm making the biggest trend of Spring 2019 work for me now," she says of her decision to style bike shorts in place of denim with this look. Do like Zanna and style them alongside more classic pieces like a black blazer and pointed pumps for a look that does fashionably-forward in a sleek and subtle manner.
