Share with us... Your Best & Worst Collections of Haute Couture S/S 2025
I knew that sequined dress had to look good on a hanger! and probably even better when described by the stylist.
Her candid style can be nice and some of the pieces she chooses for events are so good at times, the problem is that they have either failed to address the real issue or simply ignore it: she has a short, kind of inexistent neck, plus a broad chest/shoulders... that changes the way clothes look dramatically. It's barely noticeable in looks like the black number at the Wind River party.. but giving her a long neckline AND shoulder pads, with zero structure anywhere else ? come on.. as dressed by your worst enemy.

"They can make me have a little vertigo when I have to go on stage, so I just finally decided to take them off instead of trying."
Elizabeth Olsen is explaining why she kicked off her heels at the Cannes premiere of her latest movie Wind River. Sitting with her on a secluded patio tucked away behind La Croisette–the main oceanfront drag of Cannes–Olsen looks as fresh as a daisy in an elegant printed pantsuit, although she must be exhausted. The movie premiere the night before didn't even start until 11pm, which is when we saw Olsen take the stage clutching those heels in her hand. By 2am she was still working–meeting and greeting at the movie after-party, even though another super-early start beckoned, followed by another full day of non-stop interviews and events. (She took her shoes off eventually after that appearance, too.)
Olsen plays Jane Banner, the lone FBI agent agent sent to the scene of a brutal r*pe-homicide in remote, snow-bound Wyoming. Initially ridiculed by the all-male local police and by hunter Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner), Olsen brings gravitas and superior smarts to the role, as Banner fights to bring the culprits to justice.
She spoke with ELLE.com about the film's r*pe scene, being a woman on set and making her opinions heard, and the pressure to fit into sample size fashion—especially when her sisters work in the industry.
On the film's r*pe scene:
"There are all these things that can be drawn from it, whether it's about women and being equal in a man's world, or whether it's about the taboo of r*pe, of talking about r*pe and blaming the victim. [Director Taylor Sheridan] shows that you can't blame the victim. Just because you're walking around in your underwear [as the victim was] and someone sees you, you're not asking for anything–that's not an invitation. Some of the volunteer work I do is with people who have been r*pe victims, and the amount of cases that they cannot prove, even though it's an entire organization that has everything at its disposal! If you can't get someone saying, 'Yeah, I did this thing,' or if you can't literally match up DNA, then nothing happens."
On the pressure to fit into sample size fashion:
"It's a privilege to get to have a job in this industry, and I would never change it for the world, but I have a hard time with the pressure of looking cool, like fitting into dresses that were off a model's body. I am not that. I don't think I'm fat and I don't think I'm overweight, I'm very happy with what I look like, but I don't fit into those things and it's a little uncomfortable. So, that kind of part of the job is a little frustrating."
On the fashion (and life advice) she received from her twin sisters:
"The cool thing about watching my sisters is to me they've always handled everything with so much class. When you meet them in a work environment you know how capable they are, and how well their minds work, because you can't miss it. It's because of how disciplined they are, how interested they are, and how committed they are. So, to me, no one can take anything away from you or try and devalue you, if you know that you're capable, and you know that you deserve to be there because you did put in the work, and you did put in the time."
On speaking up and not being intimidated by powerful men:
"On set, I think if you're there and you're with all these men –I mean Taylor and Jeremy could be intimidating men, because they're very direct and straightforward—there's not a lot of BS with them–I can match that, and I don't feel like I'm making myself like a dude, but I can match that kind of, 'Yeah, I know why I'm here, too. I have an opinion, let's talk about it.' I think women in history are supposed to be quiet, and supporters, and nurturers, and agreeable, but the value of your opinion is huge."
vmagazineStarring in Wind River and Ingrid Goes West, both of which premiered at Sundance this year, Elizabeth Olsen couldn’t have played two more diametrically opposed roles. In the first, Olsen is Jane Banner, a federal agent investigating a murder on a Native American reservation, while Ingrid Goes West finds her as Taylor Sloan, a social media influencer with a bewitching Instagram account (Olsen herself did not have one prior to playing the role). “They are really different parts, so it was kind of hilarious that they were both at Sundance together,” says Olsen.
The two roles also find Olsen exploring very differing forms of power. Preparing for Wind River, Olsen notes, “I worked with a Green Beret and I got to go to the gun range every weekend.” Meanwhile, her turn as an Instagram star in Ingrid Goes West opened the actress’s eyes to the power of social media. In the film, costar Aubrey Plaza plays a superfan who drops everything to befriend Olsen’s character in Los Angeles. “I didn’t know you could have a profession on Instagram, I thought it was just something people talked about, but wasn’t a real thing,” she laughs. Still, the starlet found ample research for the role, including travel and decor inspiration. “It was really odd to be privy to these people’s worlds. Like, who is taking their pictures all the time? But, I was jealous of some of the things in their apartments.”
Nowadays, Olsen is no social media neophyte—she joined the platform in late February and already has 413,000 followers. She also hopes to mimic the kind of account fellow A-lister Margot Robbie has, saying, “She has the best actress Instagram. You don’t know really too much about her, but you can see her out and about.”
Aside from filming the next two Avengers movies, Olsen will find herself in a producing role for an upcoming unannounced television series and film. “I like being able to be someone who brings the right people together,” she says. “I love to be a part of every decision.”
