Elizabeth Olsen Covers Nylon October 2011

My, that female Olsen gene is one hell of a potent one - forget twins, Olsen triplets, anyone? Congratulations to Elizabeth Olsen, younger sister to the one and only fab duo that is Mary-Kate and Ashley, as she has just landed her first ever magazine cover! And unlike her older sisters who have shared the spotlight for the majority of their lives, she's doing it solo; and we have to say, she looks like a pro. She must have taken tips from her older sisters because she looks like she's been doing it for years.

We still don't know whether Elizabeth will have anything to do with the new Sex and the City prequel (rumour has it she will step into SJP's Manolos but there hasn't been an official confirmation yet) but either way, she most definitely isn't in her sisters' shadows and we can't wait to see her career blossom.

Sex and the City Prequel IS Happening

It's official, ladies - time to refill your Cosmo glasses and make a toast to a brand new series! Our favourite New York foursome Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda are back, but not as we know them. For a start, they will be fresh faced teenagers…and they may look a little different than we are used to. Obviously the producers have had to recruit some new girls and the rumour mill hasn't stopped turning about who will fill those very big designer shoes. 

Blake Lively's name has been thrown around from the get go, so we are hopeful that she will play a part. Whilst we initially thought she would be suited to Carrie's role for obvious reasons, there were many rumours floating around that she'd be playing a young Samantha, leaving the Carrie duty to Elizabeth Olsen. Selena Gomez and Emma Roberts have also been linked to the project but the cast hasn't been confirmed yet. 

The series will be based on the book The Carrie Diaries, written by Candace Bushnell. Who's excited?

Daily Style Crush: Elizabeth Olsen

Of course she is going to be stepping out in Mary-Kate and Ashley's line The Row, but she is by no means in her sisters' shadows as she clearly has her own style and isn't afraid to bring it out. We love what she did to her hair and how she accessorised the dress to turn it into a 1920's-esque flapper look.
