Rachel Bilson was wearing her baggy shorts on August 26 while heading into a fashion studio in Los Feliz, California. The petite brunette wore her shorts with a tight red top that bared a bit of her tummy and a pair of gold strappy high-heel sandals.

We know Rachel Bilson loves her denim shorts, but this baggy style is a new look even for her.

Whitney Port wore her baggy denim shorts at the launch of her signature cupcake, “Whittie’s Cinaminnie,” at the Sweet E’s bakery truck in Brentwood, California, on August 27.

She turned her shorts into casual chic by pairing them with a ruffly high-collar top and zigzag-printed red flats. Whitney Port’s long and slim legs are making her shorts look baggier than usual, while those shorts are making her legs look even longer and slimmer than usual.

So, to whom does your vote go — Rachel Bilson or Whitney Port?

I might be in the minority here, but I choose Rachel Bilson. It’s difficult to wear denim shorts that are baggy, but she still pulled it off really well. I think Whitney Port has a great style, but with legs that long, it must be much easier to get away with wearing anything.

Rachel Bilson’s shorts are the Paige Premium Denim Jimmy Jimmy Short in Sardinia that can be purchased at Zappos:
