Fashion Spotlight: Mary-Kate and Ashley – Trendsetters or just trend don’ts? Ever since Mary-Kate and Ashley left their days of being Michelle Tanner for Full House behind, they’ve been known for their style. Girls look up to them for fashion advice, and even dress like them. This resulted in the twins creating a line of clothing. The two actresses have accomplished so much in the world of style, including raising questions over some of their outfits. After all of these years, we find ourselves asking: are the Olsen twins really trendsetters? Mary-Kate: Trendsetter Mary-Kate’s satin, black dress may look a little long in the arms, however, the black belt that cinches the waist is a nice touch. It helps show off Mary-Kate’s figure and makes sure the dress doesn’t swallow her form. Mary-Kate’s outfit wouldn’t be anything special if it weren’t for her heels. The heeled, black sandals help Mary-Kate’s look not be drab. The fun jewels keep the black dress from being plain. Mary-Kate’s loose, wavy hair helps keep the outfit appropriate for promoting her and her sister’s line of clothing, Elizabeth and James. Ashley: Trend Don’t While Mary-Kate looks trendy at the event, Ashley’s outfit is the opposite. The sweater is slightly oversized and does nothing for Ashley’s figure. Paired with the white shorts, she looks like she’s ready to go to the supermarket or hang out at home all day. The gold, studded sandals help improve the look a bit, but they look too dressy for the casual outfit. Ashley looks underdressed compared to her sister. Mary-Kate: Trend Don’t We all know Mary-Kate is a big fan of the bohemian-chic look. In this outfit, though, we get the feeling that Mary-Kate’s taken the look too far. While on the beach, she sports a long, black and copper-ish skirt. The outfit isn’t something you would usually find on the beach. Her hat with the small veil is another negative. The hat doesn’t even match the outfit very well. All together, the outfit is an “I-would-never-wear-that” kind of outfit. Ashley: Trendsetter Back in April, Ashley attended a luncheon with her sister in New York. Ashley redeemed herself as a trendsetter in a classic little black dress. The dress had a v-neck top and a slightly oversized top. She paired the dress with a great pair of cutout black heels and a black clutch. She looked both professional and fashionable. -------------

This Week's Fashion Highlights: Which celebs have been sporting some seriously cute outfits this week: Julianne Hough Julianne looked country cute in a pink, plaid shirt and ripped jeans as she walks her dog after arriving at LAX airport on September 8th. Ashley Greene Ashley Greene looked beautiful in a strapless red dress when going to the hotel’s pool in LA on August 6th. Megan Fox Megan manages to pull off a casual, yet cute outfit while wearing a cardigan and a flowing tank top in Canada on September 7th.

Nicole Kidman The Australian actress looks elegant in a gorgeous short-sleeved dress as she attends the U.S. Open with her husband, Keith Urban, on September 7th.

The Super, The So-So, and The Seriously Should Think Again: The Super Elisabetta Canalis George Clooney’s girlfriend looks glamorous in a blue, strapless gown at the premiere of his new movie, The Men Who Stare At Goats. Elisabetta wears simple jewelry with the flowing, pleated dress. The So-So LeAnn Rimes LeAnn Rimes looks cute in a short dress and flip-flops as she goes shopping in California. The outfit would be great, except for the oversized top. The upper half of the dress does nothing for LeAnn’s figure. The Seriously Should Think Again Lady Gaga We all know Lady Gaga wears some crazy outfits, but while attending the Monster Cable party in Germany, she definitely outdid herself. The outfit has been called “creepy.” Lady Gaga should think about trying out an all together new outfit.

Hint and Tip of the Week: When you think your outfit is plain (like Mary-Kate’s black dress), try livening it up with some color or fun accessories. If you’re wearing a solid black dress, try a different colored belt. If, for example, you have a pair of white pants and a black top, try red heels. Use color to make a splash in your wardrobe. Jeweled accessories help your outfits look fabulous, as well.
