The 30-year-old actress took to social media to post a tribute to famous fashion designer Kate, who passed away in 2018 when she took her own life.
Rachel – who was Kate’s niece – wrote alongside a throwback picture of the fashion mogul: “Missing Katy B today and every day (sic)”
The ‘Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ previously paid tribute to Kate in 2019, when she became the face of the designer’s accessories line, Frances Valentine.
She said at the time: "In the wake of Katy's passing, my family and I were so overwhelmed and encouraged by the love and support we received from those who were touched by Katy's work, many of whom were strangers from around the world.
“When you lose someone you love, you search for boundless ways to keep their memory alive. This felt like a way to do that through her beautiful creations and an opportunity to share them with all of those who her work meant so much to."
Meanwhile, Rachel recently admitted she gets “so angry” at the amount of “unkindness” in the world today, as she believes it has “become acceptable” to be “mean-spirited” toward others.
She said: “There’s so much unkindness in the world right now and I feel like it has become acceptable – and sometimes even trendy – to be mean-spirited, and that makes me angry and upset. I just think there is so much negativity. We’re confronting mammoth issues and there is so much to contend with that unkindness and blatant disregard for other people makes me so angry.”
And living her life in the public eye means Rachel has been subjected to her fair share of negativity, which she says has knocked her confidence in the past.
However, the ‘House of Cards’ actress is thankful to have the support of her friends and her spouse, Jason Ralph, to remind her she is “beautiful”.
She added: “It doesn’t feel great when I get dressed up for a public event and people talk about how much they hate my outfit or my hair and tag me on Instagram. It can do some knocking to the old confidence, but I feel fortunate that I’ve always been surrounded by people – from my friends to my partner – who are vocal about the fact that I am most beautiful when I look like myself.
“So the noise from outside is more easily blocked out. But it’s still there. Whether you are seen on a public platform or you’re being seen at your workplace, it’s something women constantly have to contend with. The noise doesn’t ever go away.”
