She’s also editor-in-chief of a cooking magazine, Every Day with Rachael Ray.
Rachael Ray's on-camera style: Although she sometimes wears trendy clothing, her best on-camera outfits are those that really flatter a short woman with her figure type: a simple wrap dress with a V-neckline and three-quarter length sleeves. Worn just below the knee with high heels or high boots that the skirt hem covers, these types of dresses flatter Rachael Ray. When the wrap dresses are a dark and monochrome, rather than print, they look best, and so does Rachael.

About her style : "I like food, I eat, and I’m a size 6. I don’t care about being a zero. I get dressed and then I avoid looking in any reflective surface for the rest of the day,” Rachael Ray told the New York Post.
