It’s three days into the Sundance Film Festival and already reporters are asking Elizabeth Olsen how it feels to be the festival’s it girl. Olsen’s response: “If I am an it girl, the great thing about that is that it can help these two films.” The young actress is talking about Silent House and Martha Marcy May Marlene — two films premiering at this year’s festival. Of course, the press has also trekked into family territory, digging into her relationship with her famous sisters (Mary Kate and Ashley) and without extensive media experience some might falter, but not Olsen. “As for my family, I love them and I love talking about them. But I don’t feel that shadow thing that the media assumes. It’s made up by people I don’t come into contact with.” This line of questioning will fade as Olsen, who’s still a senior at NYU, proves she’s worthy of the Miss Sundance title thanks to her intelligent performances — not her last name.
We sat down with Olsen, who was wearing Kenneth Cole’s official Sundance vest (the designer outfits the festival’s 1600 volunteers), at the Stella Artois Cutting Room on Main Street to discuss the road to Sundance, her sense of fashion, and where she’ll go next.

Just when you thought that life doesn’t imitate art, or at least soapy dramas, Gossip Girl’s fictional cast of Upper East Siders won’t be the only ones throwing some serious venom in their social circles.
Thanks to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, fans can now play “Gossip Girl: Social Climbing,” a free game on Facebook. Just like in the hit show, gamers earn, struggle, and sometimes claw their way up the social ladder by gaining points through being at the right place at the right time—and of course, dressing to stand out in the crowd. Events copy plots of beloved past episodes and characters’ favorite pastimes, including the infamous Assassin Party, Sweetheart Ball, Fashion Week, and club openings. Ultimately, players can be noticed by Gossip Girl herself.
But, don’t stop peering out of your designers specs just yet. If we’ve learned anything from watching Blair, Serena, Chuck and co., it’s that social games aren’t always so glamorous for the losers. What do you think—would you play this game? Or will it just perpetuate social pretension with the message it’s sending?

To make a round face appear slimmer, or rock a red carpet look in a snap, highlight your cheekbones with these easy steps! Use a cream blush on the apples of your cheeks, and blend the color upwards along your natural cheekbones toward the outer edges of your face. Use a liquid or stick highlighter to line the area just underneath your cheekbones (the part of your cheek that sinks in when you make a kissing face). Blend the highlighter upwards into the blush, never going higher than the apples of your cheeks. Finish the look by reducing signs of color-creasing with a dust of translucent powder.

We love the hair headband! It keeps hair off your face while also adding a stylish touch to the average Pippi Longstocking braids. If Jessica Alba’s look seems complicated at first glance, fear not! We have a short list of tips to get this style quick. Make sure your hair is straight of wavy – curly hair will make it harder to braid and keep in place. Once relatively straight, make a center part from your hairline to the nape of your neck. Then braid each side. (Tip: Even though you’ll take these out later, secure each braid with a hair tie while styling.) Lift the right braid and wrap it from each to ear. Remove the tie and pin. Repeat by doing the same to the left braid. In addition to pinning near the ears, you can now begin to tuck pins discreetly throughout the braids. This way, the hairband doesn’t begin to droop and loosen the pins near the ears. Finally, tuck any loose hair underneath the braid and secure with pins. You should be all set! If it seems like a braid might sway, stick it with a pin, but remember to pin underneath the hairband, so no one will know your secret! Enjoy!

1. What skin tone do you have? The veins on the inside of your wrists are great indicators of what skint tone you have. If the veins are blue or purple, than you’re a cool girl. If the veins are yellow or green than you’re a warm chic.
2. For the cool shade girls: Is your skin complexion fair or medium? Girls with cool fair skin, look best with red lipstick that has a blue base. Girls with cool medium skin look best with red lipstick that has both a blue or warm red base.
3. For the warm-shade girls: Is your skin complexion olive or dark? Girls with warm olive complexions look best with red or red orange based lipstick. Girls with warm darker complexions look best with brown based red lipstick.
4. Time to fire things up. Now that you know your skin tone and complexion, its time to try on some lipstick! Remember to prep your lips with a lip balm. Apply a lip liner in the same shade of your lipstick or darker. Apply your shade of red lipstick, nude eye shadow, a side part in your hair and walk around talking with some great ’50s phrases. Daddy-o!
