The cover up! How Rachel Zoe has kept her figure under wraps on St Barths holiday... after THOSE infamous skeletal beach snaps

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Woman in black: Stylist Rachel Zoe struggles through the surf in St Barths wearing a long, sodden, black sarong while carrying baby Skyler.

While the rest of the A-list are baring all on the beach in itsy-bitsy bikinis, skinny stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe has kept her figure hidden in a series of voluminous sarongs.
The posh French resort of St Barths is a winter playground for the rich and famous and their younger, hotter wives, many of whom are just the type of client coveted by Ms Zoe.
That may be the reason why the notoriously thin fashion maven has chosen to wear a selection of long, flowing pareos rather than reveal her bony frame: a mistake she made last year to her detriment.


Dare to bare: Zoe seems reluctant to bare all this year after she was heavily criticized for her emaciated appearance on the beach in 2010

Zoe who launched her very first fashion line last year is a favourite with Hollywood starlets.
She is known for famously boho style, a signature so distinctive that her clients - including Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner, Demi Moore and Eva Mendes - have been dubbed 'Zoebots'.
Zoe's holiday started badly when she was faced with a fashionista’s worst nightmare: lost luggage.
The star of Bravo’s The Rachel Zoe Project was en route to St Barths for a luxurious holiday when American Airlines lost her valuable cases filled with stylish resort wear, sources say.

This week I will be mostly wearing sarongs: Zoe has been rotating the few clothes she has while on holiday after losing her luggage but the wide brimmed black hat was ubiquitous.

‘She has a reputation for helping her Hollywood friends maintain their size-zero frames, and thinks of herself as quite an expert when it comes to keeping trim and healthy during pregnancy, ' says a friend.
Regular sessions with Zoe were reported to be the secret behind Victoria Beckham’s sylph-like figure throughout her pregancy with daughter Harper Seven
Rachel had been popping round to 36-year-old Victoria’s Beverly Hills home to guide her through her pregnancy, and her advice seemed to have worked as there were few visible signs of a baby Beckham bump even in the final months.

Zoe went into damage control several years ago when she was accused of turning her clients at the time, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Keira Knightly and Mischa Barton, into pin thin mini-me's calling them 'my girls'.
Many believed it was Zoe who was behind the emaciated look but it was an accusation that she was quick to squash before it threatened her business empire.
'I don't think it's fair to say I'm responsible because I'm a thin person, or that because I'm influencing their style I'm influencing what they eat,' she said at the time.
