Ashley Olsen looked stunning as she arrived at the CFDA Awards in a men’s style tuxedo from the Resort 2009 Chanel collection. It’s definitely a brave fashion choice, but a sweet one. Yves Saint Laurent passed away this week, and Ash is clearly paying homage to his Le Smoking Suit.
Ashley spent most of the evening with one of her fashion inspirations, Lauren Hutton. Lauren Hutton was the model for the Spring 2008 The Row Look Book and did a photo spread with Mary-Kate for her Harper’s Bazaar cover.
Mary-Kate didn’t attend the event. All the tabloids have been reporting she’s been having a rough time lately. While I tend to take those reports with a grain of salt, I do hope she’s okay and it’s just other commitments that kept her away.

[...] Ashley’s last purchase was vintage furniture whereas MK’s was studded Minnetonkas. But MK’s current obsession of the moment is Beverly Hills 90210 on DVD and Ashley’s is Annie Hall. Maybe that explains her menswear look at the CFDA Awards? [...]
at first it looks like she’s trying hard with this outfit but I keep staring at it and no doubt, this is one smart outfit. she always tries to do the androgynous look and i think it’s worked out pretty well. it’s definitely a risk but it’s understated, it’s not screaming out “hey, look at me!” the fitting is odd but she carries it well. and i agree with jj, she is channeling the 80s look and sometimes the early 90s. i love her the other day with her soft curls. *sigh love that Ashley.
not feeling it.

I’m not totally sure about the pants, and definantly not sure about the shoes, but I love the rest :) Ashley is looking so pretty lately, her face looks beautiful.
I’m starting to wish the girls would wear the same type of makeup once, just to see if they even look a tiny bit similar all grown up.
wow.. she’s really pretty these days.. well she has an inspiration aight??!!!! i love her clothes this past few weeks
I think ashley seems to be chaneling the 80′s supermodels at the moment with this outfit and sometimes the big hair etc.
She looks good
As for MK maybe I think she is working on new acting project because she doesn’t seem to spend much time usually in LA any more so maybe doing something new but I feel she might go to ground for a while – the promotion of batman should start soon and the whole Heath Ledger stuff will unfortunately start up again.
Have you had time to peek into the tabliods – just wondering what Star had to say we don’t get Star US mag in UK its a different one.
