Rachel Bilson's Menswear Chic at the CW's TCA Party: Gotta Have It or Make It Stop?

The TCA party in Beverly Hills saw a whole lot of Rachel Bilson and her manly trousers and almost bow tie, but is this another point for our fashionista or a total miscalculation?

Some days, you just gotta wear a giant pair of glow-in-the-dark dove wings while riding a bike.

We've all had those moments. And of course we've all, at one point or another, had the urge to don a business-casual cravat and head over to a CW party. (That urge came over us just last week, if you have to know. Security was not pleased.)

The latest gal to get the cravat craving? Rachel Bilson.

We're still parsing the elements of this day-for-night ensemble, which included a tan sleeveless Malene Birger blouse with black trim (and that Richelieu-era bow), a set of Alexander McQueen pants with flared pockets and Shoemint pumps.

We're not sure if the actress was prepped to promote her show, Hart of Dixie, or man the reception desk while our secretary grabs her lunch, but either way, it's a puzzler.

You tell us: Gotta have it or make it stop?
