Zooey Deschanel

American actress and singer - Zooey Deschanel - successfully builds her creative and personal life. Behind him is already a long list of films and TV series, music albums, public recognition. And Zoe is also a real style icon. Deschanel's amazingly versatile and trendy looks can be safely seen as a guide for budding fashionistas.

Zoe was born into a hereditary Hollywood family. Her dad (Caleb Deschanel) is a successful cinematographer, and her mom (Mary Joe) is an actress. Zoe's older sister, Emily, is also an actress. So the girl, as they say, was simply “written in the family” to take the path of replenishing her famous film family.

The full name given to the future star at birth is Zoe Claire Deschanel. She was born on January 17, 1980. By the way, initially the parents put a special meaning into the name of their youngest daughter. Caleb and Mary were very fond of the works of D. Salinger, and especially the story "Franny and Zooey". So they named their daughter after 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 put in by the parents was lost, but Caleb and Mary are not at all sad 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 on the same project. Fortunately, such chances often fall out. In addition, Deschanel love to appear together at various social events, and in general they try to spend a lot of time together.

Oddly enough, right after school, Zooey Deschanel did not waste time at universities, and immediately devoted her whole life to family business.Since 1998, when Zoe made her debut in her first television project, to this day, the filmography has been impressive. With the participation of the youngest Deschanel, of course, there are a dozen or two little-known films and TV series, but many pictures deserve attention and praise.

• Almost Famous (2000)
• "Manic" (2001)
• Good Girl (2002)
• Elf (2003)
• "Living the winter" (2005)
• "Love and Other Troubles" (2006)
• "Bridge to Terabithia" (2007)
• "Always say yes! "" (2008)
• "500 days of summer" (2009)

The best TV shows in which Zoe appeared both episodically and with the main role are:

• "The Enchanted Kingdom";
• "Bones";
• "New Girl".

The role in the last series brought the actress numerous nominations for such prestigious film awards as Emmy and Golden Globe.

It is worth noting that music lessons are probably Zoya's only conscious choice. Being an actress was dictated to her by the profession reigning in her family. But Zoya's personal desire was precisely 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 still not let her go.

Zoe studied music as a hobby: she wrote songs, came up with different numbers. But soon music penetrated into all areas of her life - Zoe even began to sing in films, write music for some of the films in which she played. Often Zoya's soundtracks were comic in nature, such as the composition Who are you from the movie Always Say Yes.

Fortunately for Zoya, her film career was developing so successfully that music lessons 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 duet She & Him, where Matthew Ward acted as a guitarist and part-time producer. On the shoulders of Zoe were assigned vocals, piano, sometimes - ukulele. Listening to Zooey Deschanel's voice is as enjoyable as watching her innate artistic talents, both in films and in video clips.

Very often in the world of show business there are doubles. Zoe looks like several famous people at once. Well, or they are like her - as you like. So, many call Zoe an intellectual copy of the singer Katy Perry. Just look at the photos - they are really quite difficult to distinguish from each other. By the way, if you get confused, hint: Zoe is on the left.

This chain of lookalikes is extended by another actress who is very similar to both Zoe and Katy. It's about Sivan Morris - the star of British TV series. In the photo from left to right: Katie, Zoe, Sivan.

Actress Felicity Jones could well play the role of Zooey Deschanel's understudy in some movie. This adorable actress also looks a lot like Zoe!

Outwardly still reminiscent of a mischievous girl, in Zoe's life she is an experienced adult woman. The actress managed to survive one divorce, find a second husband and give birth to a child.

Zoe's first husband was Ben Gibbard, a musician - vocalist of the Death Cab for Cuitie group. They started dating in 2008 and got married in September 2009. But the marriage turned out to be fragile, the couple faced irreconcilable differences, and in 2012 they divorced.

Zoe's second husband was Jacob Pechenik, a Hollywood film producer. This union turned out to be warmer. In July 2015, the couple had their first child - a daughter, whom they named Elsie Otter.

It is also known that Zooey Deschanel is a close friend of Kate Hudson and Jake Gyllenhaal - they have known each other and have been close since high school. The actress also has good friendships with Joseph Gordon Levitt, her partner in several films.

One of the most striking features of Zooey Deschanel's appearance is her stunning, huge and radiant eyes. Correct makeup helps to emphasize them.

The second striking feature of Zoe's appearance is her hairstyle. Unchanging bangs only occasionally leave this talented head. Here are some of Zooey Deschanel's most successful hairstyles.

Zoe's figure is far from being a model - there is no androgynous thinness in her. But this does not prevent the actress from looking great in a swimsuit, being irresistible at any photo session.

By the way, Zoya's height is also far from model - only 168 cm. The actress keeps her weight within 55-57 kg.

By the way, after giving birth, Zoe very quickly returned to her usual form. A 2016 photo confirms this.

Zoe has her own secrets of beauty and charm, which she happily shares with all the girls in the world. They may sound trivial, but they really work.

1. Don't get hung up on beauty.
2. Always remain a child.
3. Behave naturally.
4. To refuse from bad habits.
5. Eat right.

When you look at Zoe, it seems that this eternally young girl will never become a boring adult aunt. But the youngest representative of the Deschanel film dynasty is already 37 years old! This bright actress and singer endows everyone not only with her roles and amazing voice, but also with inexhaustible energy. And her style in clothes always either complements or slightly restrains this fountain of emotions.

For example, this ensemble clearly demonstrates the second case. The idea itself is very extraordinary: both the print and the cut, the handbag chosen for this alongside. But the color scheme prevents the suit from becoming too flashy: deep blue, restrained dark red, and two auxiliary colors - black and beige. In this design, a mini-skirt with a wrap will never look vulgar, and a simple geometric pattern covering the entire top of the ensemble will not become either boring or lurid.

Solid colors always look no worse on Zoe than colored ones. For example, this is a white closed dress with a peplum. The top is close-fitting, the skirt is pleated, everything looks very elegant. And brightly decorated pumps with small heels add a zest to the outfit.

White outfits always suit a sultry brunette with a dark skin tone. So, the actress looks equally impressive in a short dress covered with fancy lace, and in a fluffy doll dress. And Zoe's variation on the theme "white top, black bottom" will never be boring: just check out this ensemble of a fluffy skirt and shirt with a bold heart-shaped neckline!

Zooey Deschanel showcases great ensembles for casual style. These are options for combining simple and comfortable clothing attributes with a skirt, jeans, and a coat. Comic images of Zoe, captured on Instagram, can and should sometimes be taken seriously. Take this striped sweater, for example, with a 1990s aesthetic that is back at its peak.

Zoe combines coats and trench coats with the rest of the clothes according to the principle of color harmony: in the first case, all accessories were selected in black and red, in the second, Zoe decided to combine brown, beige and black shades.

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 it is completely removed, the outfit becomes evening. Ballerinas together with high heels are a trick that helps make the image more defenseless, fragile, and thus more curious for the opposite sex.

Zooey Deschanel's evening gowns are always very different. They can be delicate, luxurious, or even fatal! Let's consider the most interesting examples in order. Zoe's craving for a combination of dark blue and deep red is not without reason: this range is in perfect harmony with the actress's color type. Here we see an equally successful style of dress, which correctly plays up the figure of Deschanel (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 rather modest, she very competently combines tights and shoes: they must be matched in tone to make her legs look longer. Let's look at a few more examples of how this trick can be used. By the way, in the last photo there are no tights at all, but the dress opens up the legs quite strongly. Therefore, Zoe uses flesh-colored shoes in her outfit. And again you get the perfect image.

Delicate notes in Zooey Deschanel's outfits always look very natural, correspond to her unexpected role of a very young girl. So, a short dress of a milk-cream shade has a girly simple and naive style. Immaculate black stiletto heels set off the look.

Another outfit, completely sustained in light beige, looks already more solid: the length, style, shine of rhinestones - this is no longer a girl from a neighboring yard, but a true princess waiting for her gentleman. In such an outfit, you can safely win hearts.

The pale blue range is another great option for creating fairy-tale doll outfits. Zoe's looks in the next two shots demonstrate her ability to wear dresses with puffy skirts correctly: if the style includes sleeves, you can afford to loose hair. If the dress is in 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 photos 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 on a black jacket on top), but the second option is exclusively for cocktails and special events.

The length of the maxi is associated with the red carpet, with a kind of celebration. And most women create an elegant, often very domineering image with a dress of this length. Something similar is demonstrated in the next photo and Zoe. In addition to such a mesmerizing length, this look is accompanied by a soft flowing satin, an open back, an original decor of the upper part of the dress.

But more often (even wearing maxi) Zoe creates precisely 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 is madly in love with patterns in clothes - any. Moreover, absolutely any print of a Hollywood beauty fits perfectly, be it a cage, peas, stripes or flowers!
