Elle Style Awards 2010 - Style Hits and Misses

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

The annual Elle Style Awards took place in London last night (Monday, Feb. 22).

We expected to see fashion's elite dressed in their best fashion-forward looks. Instead, we were greeted with offbeat, unexpected outfits -- either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you personally feel about each look.

First off, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen demonstrated two very different looks. Classy fashionista Ashley went for a low-cut tulle-covered taupe gown -- vintage Christian Lacroix -- and Fendi platform shoes. The look was almost avant garde enough for Lady Gaga. Almost.

By contrast, edgy Mary-Kate went goth in an all-black, high-neck Lanvin ensemble.

Though we probably wouldn't opt for either look, it's nice to see the twins maintaining their distinct styles throughout the years. At the very least, they keep it interesting!

Kristen Stewart


Next, we had the ever-bubbly Kristen Stewart, who half-smiled in a geometric print Pucci mini dress.

There's no doubt that Stewart has a great body, pretty features, and natural beauty.

But there's something about her too-harsh hairstyles and miserable facial expressions that always seems to keep her just short of gorgeous.

Kristen -- why so glum? You are famous, you are successful, and you get to wear your pick of designer clothes.

Please cheer up!

We'd love to see some extensions on Stewart -- maybe a long, loose braid over one shoulder, red lips, and a long, simple, jewel-toned gown.

We'll keep dreaming.

Claudia Schiffer

Model mom Claudia Schiffer went for a simple all-black look like Mary-Kate Olsen, just a little more subdued.

Schiffer wore a black 3/4 sleeve dress with black tights and booties. Her dress was so swingy and loose, it could easily have been a maternity number since the supermodel is expecting -- but since this is Claudia Schiffer, we know better. We're sure the frock still has a designer tag on it somewhere.

After all, under normal circumstances the statuesque Schiffer -- who still has lovely golden hair, a lithe body, and nearly wrinkle-free skin in her arsenal -- would never wear something so shapeless and, dare we say, a bit boring.

Overall, we'd say this red carpet was vastly different from the usual dress-to-impress gowns and "safe" looks. Maybe it was something about the London vibe that made celebs loosen up and take risks?

If you loved these outfits (or hated them!) let us know and leave a comment.

Why do they always look as though they died, then came back to life? Like vampires. The walking dead. It's a shame because they normally would be 2 very pretty girls.

I have to disagree with you Sunday. These girls were odd looking toddlers, and have morphed into zombies. I never "got" the attraction they had, except they were able to parrot their trainers and deliver "adult inspired" one-liners on cue. They both look like death warmed over and have done nothing to warrant still being newsworthy. I think Hollywood needs to bury these two corpses and move on.

What is it with those two anyway??? Every time I see them they both look like...well trash! I'm sure they arenot, at least I hope they are not but seriously people, one looks strung out on something while the other just looks like she's sick as in ill. I would enver say that about these two but every time I see them it's always the same kind of look they give and the one word that sums it up for me is...trashy. I really hope I'm wrong and maybe it's just the whole Hollywood lifestyle thing giving them the kind of look they always have anymore and in real life they are just two normal young women living a good life. Just seems if that was true they would change their look a little bit so they come across a little...well...not so trashy.

Joe, I agree with you, they look like tramps, they have looked like tramps for years and to think they are doing a clothing line is beyond scary

I never see pics of them smiling and showing their pearly whites and looking happy. When they were little girls they always looked so happy all the time.

I wish someone would tell these girls that their eye makeup and sickeningly thin frame is not appealing!

I can't help but wonder if there isn't something medically/mentally wrong with them each time I see them. Are they on drugs?

I never thought they could act very well. They were just appealing to the cute kid addicts. I don't think they are worth the attention they recieve.
By thier photo, have they gone almost gothic?

I wish their mother (or keeper) would take a washcloth to these young women's faces, a hairbrush to their hair and give them clothing to prove the only taste they have is in their mouths!

It seems to me the Olsen twins go far out of their way to look as tacky as possible. They look like a couple of homeless people with the messy, unkept hair, exaggerated eye makeup, clothes which look like they gathered them from several trash cans around the city. With all the money they have, and being in the clothing business, they could look so beautiful, stylish, put together and clean! They must prefer this shabby, unchic look! To me it is very unattractive. Oh well whatever floats their boat I guess.

Yaaawn. Oh so many comments from individuals who always see the negative rather than the positive. One supposes that some of you posting have limited knowledge of haute couture or the fashion industry. From what I've read, and while I greatly dis-enjoy speculation, there are those of your posting who have no more and probably less than one piece in your wardrobe which is haute-can't know what these two paid but somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty thousand = not unusual for little purses in the high fashion world. Unbelievable? Try shopping certain of my favorite stores on say, 5th Ave., NYC, NY> Two successful young women these Olsens, why knock them?

I have seen a lot of haute coture and for the most part, I'd not be caught dead in most of it nor is most of it stylish enough to dress my dead dog in it. The fashion runways of Paris and Milan put out crap with high prices attached due to the name.

They are "CREEPY"!!! No talent, whatsoever. Somehow they creeped into one of the most God awful tv shows of all time. Probably wasn't their fault. I'll bet they had creepy, greedy parents!
