Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in The Row - 2012 CFDA Awards

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen had a big night on Monday.

The sister-designers won the award for Best Womenswear Designer of the Year (for The Row), beating Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler.

Ashley wore a gorgeous, purple satin dress with a ruffle front from The Row Resort 2013 collection. She wore her hair back in a bun and finished off the look with Sidney Garber jewelery, a bag from The Row & her favourite Manolo Blahniks.

Mary-Kate debuted a darker hair colour in a loose black blouse and wrap silk skirt from The Row Resort 2013 collection.  Bronzed make-up, kohl-rimmed eyes, a The Row bag and Louis Vuitton heels completed her look.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen in The Row - The Fresh Air Funds Salute To American Heroes

The Olsen sisters attended the The Fresh Air Funds Salute To American Heroes benefit in NYC on Thursday night.

Ashley was clad in a cream dress from The Row Spring 2012 collection; she looked great in the halter dress with textured detail and I love that she wore it with fresh, light make-up.  An updo and tan Manolo Blahnik kitten heels were the finishing touches.

Mary-Kate brought the Yin to Ashley's Yang in black silk separates from her label The Row.  I'm glad she added colour via the fine jewelery, a bag by The Row and Fendi sandals.

Charlize Theron in The Row - 'Snow White and the Huntsman' Tokyo Premiere

Charlize Theron attended the Japanese premiere of 'Snow White and the Huntsman' in Tokyo.

The actress was clad in a figure-hugging black leather dress with full sleeves by The Row.

Wavy hair and red lips added softness to her look.

Mary-Kate Olsen in The Row - 2012 Met Ball

Mary-Kate Olsen wore a custom dress by The Row at the 2012 Met Ball.

The black satin dress with a high-neck, three-quarter sleeves and a silver tassel detail was dramatic - something we've come to expect from the Olsens. 

Wind-swept hair and warm make-up added impact to her look.

It was strange to see MK without Ashley though, I have to say.

Leelee Sobieski in Boy. by Band of Outsiders & The Row - 'The Five-Year Engagement' NYC Premiere

Leelee Sobieski attended the premiere of 'The Five-Year Engagement' on Wednesday night looking rather somber. 

She wore a Boy. by Band of Outsiders gown that had criss-cross straps and a leg split.  On top of this, she wore a maroon collarless coat from The Row's Pre-Fall 2012 line.

This chic ensemble would have been perfect had it been December, but it felt odd to see this in mid-April.

Elizabeth Olsen in Valentino - 2012 Grand Chefs Dinner

Elizabeth Olsen attended the Grand Chefs Dinner at Gotham Hall in NYC last night in a Valentino Fall 2012 gown.

I'm thankful that she did not wear the black version from the runway but instead opted for the vivid red hue.

She carried a black bag from The Row with the ruffled gown which was a mismatch - a dainty clutch would have been a better idea.

Elizabeth Olsen In The Row - 'Today' Show Appearance

I love me a good pant-suit.

Elizabeth Olsen gave us just that as she made her way to appear on the 'Today' show in NYC on Thursday morning.

The actress, who is promoting her new movie 'Silent House' wore a dark terracotta, velvet pant-suit from the The Row's Pre-Fall 2012 collection.  I love the sharp tailoring and her crisp white button-down.

Elizabeth kept her hair down, wore stylish Elizabeth & James sunglasses, Jimmy Choo snakeskin print heels and carried a black tote.

Elizabeth Olsen In Balmain - 'Silent House' NYC Premiere

Elizabeth Olsen attended the NYC premiere of her new thriller 'Silent House' yesterday.

She wore a black, full-sleeved matte jersey maxi, topped with a gold embellished jacket - all from the Balmain Spring 2012 collection.

 While I like the dress and the jacket, I don't like them together as they create a look that's once again, aging on the young actress.  I would have loved to see her pair this flowing yet structured jacket with some sleek pants instead. 

She accessorised with a pale blue clutch by The Row, and Cesare Paciotti heels.

 I feel like Elizabeth is still finding her ground, fashion-wise and looks like she's getting inspired by her older twin sisters.  I could see Ashley pulling off this look with ease, but it doesn't work on Elizabeth.

Elizabeth Olsen In The Row & Chanel - Atlantic Theater Company’s Spring Gala

Elizabeth Olsen was clad in a head to toe navy ensemble at the Atlantic Theatre Company’s Spring Gala at Chelsea Piers in NYC.

The actress wore a dress by The Row and topped it with a heavily embellished Chanel blazer; she wore matching Chanel heels too.

The colours are just so dull and she could have taken that jacket and worn it in a more interesting (read: youthful) manner.  Also, doesn't it seem too big on her? Look at where the sleeves end.

Elizabeth Olsen In Christian Dior - Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Elizabeth Olsen broke her continous good run by wearing this Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2012 dress.

The satin T-shirt part of the dress that's bothering me as it's unflattering and matronly.  And the tiered skirt looks a tad frumpy too.

She wore her hair in signature waves, and carried a bag by The Row.

Fashion Roundup

Vanessa Minnillo wore a lacy black dress by Love Serpent, the red version of which we saw on Miranda Kerr in 2011 (click here).  It's a pretty dress and she wore it well.

Vanessa Hudgens is still in Australia, promoting her movie 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island'.  She wore a cute, printed dress by Bec & Bridge for a photocall near the beach.  I'm giving the shades and the gladiator sandals a miss though.

Elizabeth Banks is currently stuck in an all black phase.  She did an interview in NYC this week wearing a brocade Andrew Gn Spring 2012 coat which she wore it with tights, Tabitha Simmons ankle-boots, and a rather random red Prada bag.

She attended the premiere of 'Haywire' in a Theyskens' Theory fringe dress, topped with a strong shouldered jacket and gold accessories.

 Kate Beckinsale was, yes, pretty in pink in LA.  The 'Underworld Awakening' actress did an interview in the rosy pink sheath worn with a swingy ponytail, chandelier earrings and caramel coloured pumps.

Rachel McAdams did a radio show in London for 'The Vow' in a cute LBD that had a leather Peter Pan collar and pleated skirt.  She wore a black coat from  

The Row Fall 2011 line.  Love those Brian Atwood 'Grace' heels with a thin ankle-strap and ruffles (click here for a better look).

Rosie Huntington Whiteley exited a building in Brazil in a super stylish ensemble of a sequined loose shirt worn with leather pants, shades, cap-toe shoes and her blue Birkin.

Jessica Alba appeared at the SiriusXM studio in NYC in a menswear inspired outfit of a white bomber worn with loose fitting black pants.  Not a fan of this outfit on her, and that red belt is annoying.

Elizabeth Olsen In Chloé - 2012 Independent Spirit Awards Luncheon

Elizabeth Olsen attended the Independent Spirit Awards luncheon, held in LA in a shirtdress & blazer from the Chloé Spring 2012 collection.

 She wore the look with a loos side bun, layered necklaces, a handbag from The Row and nude pointy pumps.

 It amazes me how well Elizabeth transitions from a Proenza Schouler look from the night before (click here) to this airy, light ensemble.

Jennifer Lopez In The Row - 'American Idol' Auditions

Jennifer Lopez arrived at the Hollywood auditions week of 'American Idol' in a coat from The Row's Fall 2011 collection.

I love the mustard coat, with those flared white pants and black & gold platform Charlotte Olympia pumps.

Anushka Sharma In Sabyasachi & The Row - 2011 Dubai Film Festival

Anushka Sharma promoted her upcoming movie 'Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl' earlier during the day.

At the press conference, she wore a sheer blouse with embellished shoulders by Sabyasachi, pairing it with tapered pants by The Row.

While I love both, the pairing wasn't suitable for a daytime event; the side bun and make-up also felt heavy.  

Wish she'd worn this for a party because as a standalone look, it's fab.

Elizabeth Olsen In The Row - 'War Horse' Premiere

Elizabeth Olsen took to the red carpet for the premiere of Steven Spielberg's 'War Horse'.

The young actress opted for a black dress by The Row.

I love the satin Manolo Blahnik pumps and her hair but the dress is too sombre, and slightly shapeless.

Fashion Roundup

This week's Fashion Roundup consists of looks from Paris Fashion Week.

Clemence Poesy was spotted at the Chanel Spring 2012 show, wearing a sweet, polka-dot frock from the label and adding black platforms and clutch to the look.  I'm so glad she didn't leave her hair down, as this habit has been a downfall for Clemence. (See this, & this)

Olivia Palermo watched the Giambattista Valli showing, in a feathered shift by the label.  I'm in love with the dress!  She finished the look with whimsical sunnies, a Marchesa clutch and dark pumps.

Jessica Biel was also seen at the Giambattista Valli show, in an extremely chic, all white ensemble.

She looked so high fashion, in her textured jacket, pencil skirt, cool shades, quilted bag and those chain-link heels.

She was also seen at the Valentino show, in a lavender, knee-length dress, with a light coat and gorgeous shoes and clutch.

Lookin' good Jessica!

 

The Louis Vuitton show saw Uma Thurman wear a cutout dress from the label, worn with a chic updo, red lips and strappy heels.  She looks so fresh-faced and pretty!

Nicole Richie was spotted looking her best in a red, full-sleeve minidress that had button detail on the shoulder.  She kept things simple with a cross-body bag and navy stilettos.

Lea Michele was invited to a party in the city, where she wore a sheer, lace dress by The Row.  It's dramatic but I'm not loving this shapeless dress on Lea - it does nothing for her figure.  I like her make-up and those satin heels though.

 Olivia Wilde was at the Valentino show, in an Oscar de la Renta design.  The printed tea-dress would have worked better had it been knee-length I think, and those heels are overwhelming for the dress.
