Elizabeth Olsen’s Style Evolution Stands Out on Its Own

It shouldn’t be surprising that Elizabeth Olsen has a great sense of style, she is the little sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, former child stars and current creative directors of The Row. Of course, that means Olsen likely always has a simple and sleek dress at her disposal for red carpet events, and while she has definitely taken advantage of that in the past, these days it’s actually pretty rare that the actress relies on her sisters for a look.

Olsen’s style has been on the ascent since she made her big screen debut in the 2011 indie film Martha Marcy May Marlene. Throughout the 2010s, Olsen spent some time exploring different aesthetics, gravitating toward florals and embellishment, often looking to brands like Miu Miu and Erdem for events. But as the decade turned and she joined the Marvel Universe, she started focusing on sleeker looks, opting for power suits, dark hues, and her sisters’ minimalistic designs.

These days, it’s not rare to see Olsen adapting pants for the red carpet, and when she isn’t wearing The Row, there’s a good chance she’s in Alexandre Vauthier or Givenchy. Now, as the actress promotes her new true crime series Love & Death, she’s hitting events in sophisticated looks in bold colors, proving she has her own aesthetic that stands out from that of her sisters. To see how she got here, let’s take a look back at all of Olsen’s best red carpet moments, from 2009 to today.
