 Actress Elizabeth Olsen might have her big sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley to thank for her fashion heritage, but her own personal style is ticking along just nicely.

As the sibling of actresses turned designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, it went without saying that as soon as she stepped into the spotlight she would have to rise to the super-stylish legacy imposed by her big sisters, who hold many a 'best-dressed' title under their entrepreneurial belts.

So while little Olsen's star rises - her performance in upcoming release Martha Marcy May Marlene has earned her dozens of Best Actress awards and nominations already - her minimalist but feminine wardrobe has enjoyed a steep trajectory, too.

Naturally a keen supporter of her sisters' luxury lines The Row (she swears by their leather pants) and Elizabeth and James (named after her and fellow twin brother, no less) she's enjoyed teaching herself a thing or two about fashion.

" When I was in high school I would go to second-hand stores - not because thought it was cool, but because you could get so much more for your dollar - and I would buy Marni. I thought it was masculine and quirky and funky" she told Asos .

These days however, Olsen's thrifty side has been replaced by an affection for luxury labels. "But I love Céline now too, my sisters introduced me to that label a couple of years ago" she reveals.

She continues: "And Chanel. And Isabel Marant has become someone that I really like. I didn't know all this stuff before this year, but I thought I should probably become more aware so I can have more of a say in what I wear."

We smell a stylist behind the scenes… Is that a job filled by M-K and Ashley? Apparently not. "I don't live with them, and they don't dress me," she told Grazia. "Like, I'm an adult."

Miss Olsen, we like your honest and assertiveness - but most of all we like your effortless style.
