Vogue has compiled its Best Dressed Women list for 2011.  This year they’ve gone with a sibling theme, and the two who rose to the top of the list might surprise you:  Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.    But these sisters have really transformed their sense of style in the last couple of years, rising from the ranks of the blandly safe (Ashley) and the truly disastrous (Mary-Kate, over and over again) to fashion mavens in their own right.  They have two fashion lines (The Row and Elizabeth and James) recently launched a T-shirt style website (StyleMint), and in 2009, they were admitted to the CDFA.   And they’ve proven that they are actually capable of going out in public looking pretty good.

Other famous sisters who made the list include Beyonce and Solange Knowles,  Elle and Dakota Fanning, and, of course, Pippa Middleton and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.   Visit Vogue for the complete list, or pick up a copy of the 2011 Best Dressed Special Edition on November 15th.

Have you visited Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen‘s website, Stylemint?   The twins offer their own exclusive t-shirt designs each month along with videos and personalized style profiles.

Mary-Kate and Ashley promote their new styles each month with a super-cute promo video, and August’s offering has them splashing in an inflatable wading pool.   Ashley gets so soaked that she has to cover herself with her arms!  I guess their tees are good for wet t-shirt contests as well as everyday wear!

Enjoy the clip.

Elton John gave a free performance for the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City that opened with the Cameron Crowe film The Union.

The film documents the making of the 2010 John album of the same name where he and singer/songwriter Leon Russell reunite after having not spoken for 38 years.

“I can’t believe it’s happening,” Elton told Entertainment Tonight at the 10th edition of the festival, started after the 9/11 tragedy to bring tourism back to the city.

“When we started making this documentary we never dreamt about Tribeca or any film festival. We just wanted to put it down on record and here we are in New York at this incredible event.”

The behind-the-scenes look at the process of John, Russell and lyricist Bernie Taupin as the three put together the critically acclaimed album is the first of two Crowe music-themed films . He has a Pearl Jam documentary due later this year as well.

Crowe’s most famous musical offering, Almost Famous, was a fictionalized tale that put actress Kate Hudson on the map when it was first released.

More photos of John and fellow attendees Martin Scorsese, Anna Kendrick, Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen and Zoe Kravitz are below.

Both sisters opted to wear YSL for the evening. Ashley wore a patterned black dress with hunter green stole and her hair swept up while Mary Kate’s dress was loose and flowing with her hair in a braid.

The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) admitted 31 new designers to their group and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were among the chosen. Council President Diane von Furstenberg recognized the duo along with Alexander Wang, Jason Wu and more.

The twins have been recognised for their contribution to American fashion through their labels The Row (named after Saville Row in London) their polished, tailored collection of luxe wardrobe staples and Elizabeth and James their directional, mid-range brand, named after their younger brother and sister.

The Olsens fashion lines are quite good, certainly above what many thought they would be.

Mary Kate Olsen is the cover girl for the March 2009 issue of the Canadian magazine Fashion. I think she looks really pretty in this photo shoot. I can’t believe that she used to be in Full House when I was younger and I’ve seen her grow up. She’s come along way from then.

In some ways the Olsen twins had way easier than stars like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. Although, I’m sure that they have experienced some of the things that happen in this instant world. I think that she’s on the right track though. It can’t be easy to be so popular and rich.

The cutest of the Olsen twins, Mary-Kate Olsen opens up to Interview Magazine and they go as far as to call her “a hauntingly gorgeous young woman with serious acting talent and a remarkably individual.” This girl could haunt your nightmares for sure! First it’s scary how much she looks like Courtney Love and second she is so pale and skinny I swear she could just be a ghost! Anyone agree with me?? This photo shoot certainly does capture her hauntingly beauty… I just think it’s too creepy!!

Mary-Kate confesses her love for Kate Winslet (who doesn’t love Kate??): “Some people are natural beauties, some have great style, but sometimes it comes from talent. Take Kate Winslet: I was listening to her speech at the Golden Globes. That woman has so much intensity. She’s amazing to watch and to listen to. With some people, it can even be their voice that makes them attractive.”

Mary-Kate talks about being her own persona and distancing herself from the Olsen Twins image: “We’ve always been very different. And we’ve always had the same goals. But yes, that happened. At a certain point, we probably just started to vocalize it. When we decided to go to college, we figured we’d be able to take a break and just figure out what we wanted to do and what we loved . . . just by being able to step away from the work world.”

Mary-Kate on her acting career (which is nonexistent now!): “When I was 16 or 17 I said, “I’m done. I’m exhausted.” But then three days go by and you’re ready to work again.”

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen signed copies of their new book, Influence, today at Barnes & Noble Union Square in New York. PETA held an action outside the store to protest the twins’ wardrobe of furs.

The activist group has dubbed Mary-Kate and Ashley the Trollsen Twins (Hairy-Kate and Trashley) and they’ve got several activities on their website featuring the twins. You can download Hairy-Kate and Trashley masks, dress the girls up in bleeding animal items, and watch a video of the Full House Of Horrors. Even if you don’t care about fur and fashion, if you’ve got a sick mind, it’s a lot of Halloween fun. Check it out here!

Mary Kate Olsen is appearing on Samantha Who on November 10.

In it, she stars as Natalie, a troubled young woman Samantha meets in community service. Sam sees her preamnesia bad-girl self in Natalie, so naturally she wants to help Nat get back on the straight and narrow. Jokes ensue.

Am I the only one that thinks this is odd? I thought Mary Kate was retired by now. She never has to work another day in her life yet she chooses to appear on a TV show. Well, it looks like she might actually rock the part so I might have to tune in.
