Ashley Olsen is best known for her roles as a child star actress, her fashion designer status and being one half of one of the most famous pair of twins in Hollywood, along with her identical sister, Mary-Kate.

Since she first took to the screens when she was a tot, she has grown up with her sis in the public eye, with then girls now young wo

men copying their style, securing their status as fashion icons.

The Row is the incredibly successful line established by the girls and we have watched their different styles develop and mature into two completely original trends. Where Mary-Kate is all about prints and often teaming more than one together in the same outfit, petite Ashley goes for the minimal, classy look.

We have a look at some of Ashley's best looks and give you some handy hints as to how you can steal her style too!

Ashley is a petite lady and likes to wear blouses, skirts and flowing dresses as key staples to her wardrobe.

Most recently we have seen her sporting a 50s full skirt, sandals and over sized shades. She looked fresh and minimalistic walking her cute dog.

Find yourself any such inspired skirt from any highstreet or designer store and team your shades with a neat up-do, that's sleek and neat as seen in the picture to the right.

Ashley is also known for her neutral shades and monchrome black and whites in her fashion. If you're looking to steal some of her style, then find yourself some classic, crisp blouses, some high wasted trousers and a big belt to accessorise in the traditional Miss Olsen manner.

As well as going for the big shades, Ashley is rarely seen without an oversized bag. The beauty about this is being able to switch between large summer bags and the more autumn friendly tote, without having to compromise on size.

Whether it's on the red carpet or taking a walk on the street - Ashley is a fan of sandals. On the left, she is seen in a classy black suit, low cut blouse and of course sandals.

Find yourself a fitted blazer to finish off any Ashley inspired number and belt and you've nailed the simple style and elegant accessorising that we have all come to love.

Handy hint: When her hair isn't pulled back into a classy, sleek style Ashley is a fan of the natural-looking loose wave. To achieve this, wash as normal and simply leave in a little conditioner at the ends and dry naturally. Failing that, find yourself a good volumising moose and blow dry into a relaxed style.
