Elizabeth Olsen in Alexander McQueen at NYFF: is she tweaked or natural?

wenn3554420

Elizabeth “Lizzie” Olsen posed on the red carpet for the New York Film Festival premiere of Martha Marcy May Marlene, for which she’s already getting Oscar buzz for her performance as a young woman struggling to overcome her damaging experiences with a cult. Lizzie was wearing an Alexander McQueen dress and shoes to match, and I think the look is … alright, but I’m not crazy about the really thick, gold belt. Honestly, I’d like to see her wearing something from The Row. Of course, Lizzie probably wants to fully achieve success on her own and not lend the appearance of relying on Mary-Kate and Ashley to help her get there, but I think that wearing their clothing on the red carpet would be a nice show of Olsen solidarity. It would also ward off those persistent rumors of sibling rivalry that the sisters have already attempted to debunk.

Also in attendance at the premiere were John Hawkes, Hugh Dancy, and Sean Durkin. Wouldn’t you like to be in that sandwich?

Now onto the obvious part of this story, which is Elizabeth’s tweaked-looking nose, which was already looking pretty sketchy in her recent Nylon cover shoot, where it was a question of whether Photoshop was a big contributor in said wonkiness. Here, her nose still doesn’t look natural at all, right? Also, Kaiser and I both think that Lizzie’s face looks rather tweaked in general here. It’s possible that the severely pulled-back bun is a contributing factor, for the Croydon facelift hairstyle rarely flatters anyone:

Certainly, Lizzie’s nose looks much more “normal” when she smiles. In fact, she appears to be a completely different person in this photo:

Ultimately, it’s really difficult to tell whether Lizzie has gone under the knife. She’s only 22-years-old, and it looks like she’s had the same nose for at least the past few years. Here she is in March 2009:

And here’s Elizabeth in May 2007 with the same nose she has today. It’s highly possible that she was just born with an immensely narrow, pinched-looking nose, right? Or maybe she just got a really early nose job.

    whatever it is, she certainly didn’t want to give that dude her autograph 🙂

  2. kaligula says:

    Holy crumbcakes, can you imagine trying to have a normal conversation with this person? She looks deranged. Wish I had her hair, tho….

  3. Kaiser says:

    I really think she had some recent nose work. The tip looks different, as does the “narrower” bridge.

  4. jacqu says:

    I keep thinking her nose is tweaked because I /expect/ to see MK/A’s nose on her. Like they’re triplets or something.

  5. lucy2 says:

    Maybe a nose job, but she’s hardly the only one in Hollywood and beyond. But she looks way older than 22 in most of these photos, too much makeup or something.
    I keep hearing she was really great in that film.

  6. k says:

    This is stupid; she looks like an Olsen sister and she has an Olsen nose. Why the big to-do? Is it just because it doesn’t look the way you want it to look?

  7. Christine says:

    She’s 22??? Wow. I mean, she’s beautiful. But yes, something is aging her. She looks fantastic in an updo though.

  8. tealily says:

    Yes, exactly jacqu. We all know what her sisters’ noses looked like as children. I’m sure she had the same nose once too.

  9. ladybert62 says:

    That black dress was OK until I got down to the see through ruffle thingie – awful.

    Could be her crazy twin sisters dont have anything suitable for the red carpet.

    She is prettier than the twins and doesnt have quite the crazy look that they always have.

  10. nlb979 says:

    I see she shares her sisters’ fashion sense. Blech.

  11. S_____ says:

    I have a horrible turned up nose like that. It looks nast in pictures. sighhh

  12. Jackson says:

    IDK. She looks really, really different now as compared to that ’09 pic where she is wearing that hideous beige nightgown getup. It may just be the few extra years on her but she looks quite different to me for it to just be age. And she is only 22??? She looks way older than 22. Kind of like when you see a picture from the 1920s or 30s and you have no idea how old the woman is – she could be 15 or 45. Odd. I think she’s def had some kind of work done at some point.

  13. Obvious says:

    i love everything about that outift except that odd sheer stripe. way bizarre.

    No comment on her face but I will say it’s funny how at times she looks like the missing triplet and other times you almost can’t tell she’s an Olsen (minus the eyes). I like her over all.

  14. Sisi says:

    Her face has two appearances in the red carpet photo’s. She looks really different in the photo’s with lots of light in them. I think that is the biggest difference.
    When there is less light in her face, she looks like an Olsen, the there is too much light, she looks very strange.
    Bad photographer perhaps?

  15. The H says:

    How the hell can we say something is wrong with this girl???!! Her nose is fine and she is certainly not aging! F*** sakes.

  16. Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

    Can one run in such shoes?

  17. velourazure says:

    that beige potato sack dress is quite hideous.

  18. Mikki says:

    Those are some fugly looking shoes with that black dress! Can’t comment on the tweaking or lack thereof, but she does look very similar to the twins in most pics I’ve seen of her.

  19. danielle says:

    I think it looks odd because you look at her and expect to see MK or Ashley’s nose. I also didn’t think she looked old in these pics, I thought she looked ridiculously young and unlined. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt.

  20. ShanKat says:

    Bad makeup is aging her. I’d double down on “early nose job. “

  21. geekychic says:

    i have very similar nose, maybe less “pinched” up on the tip-it’s completely natural; still, people in high-school used to ask me if it was “real”! that really gets on nerves.
    but what is worse is that an idea that a 22 years old girl could “tweek” her face. WHY?? 22 years old!!
    the kardashians, the lohans with their botoxed faces…i mean, i can (sort of) understand when you have some malformation that bugs your self-esteem, but to botox yourself, inject poison into your face when you’re not 30 yet?! crazy. unstable.
    i hope she hasn’t done anything. i really do.
    and the dress is hideous, the shoes even more so.

  22. podzol says:

    No matter how kooky I find some of her outfits to be (and that’s … a lot of them), I admire the fact that E. Olsen has a certain experimental fashion personality, opinions be damned. Reminds me of Kiki Dunst pre-Melancholia … and Dunst has really knocked it out of the park these days.

  23. Kim says:

    She has had her nose done like her sisters. Bad noses must run in the family. She looks like she has had a few other tweaks but nothing crazy.

  24. taksi says:

    k: The Olsen twins both got nose jobs.

  25. Truthful says:

    nose job and she HAS be be older than 22..

    her face is distracting, I’d be staring and the whole pinched look..

    weird face

  26. Ashley says:

    Maybe she did, maybe she didn’t. I can’t bring myself to care about this particular Olsen. However, plenty of people are actually born with small and refined noses (although I don’t actually find hers to be particularly refined or delicate…just narrow-ish). The plastic surgeon’s ideal had to come from somewhere, you know.

    Even if the other Olsens were born with larger/different noses, she still could’ve ended up with a nicer one naturally (story of my sister and I).

  27. RocketMerry says:

    I vote natural. Some people have those unreal looking features since birth. Very interesting faces to look at, fascinating.

  28. Annie_Grey says:

    Lizzie is very thin. I think that might magnify the contour of the nose.

  29. Kathy says:

    Her brow bone looks like it sticks out further than the tip of her nose, so no, not natural.

  30. EP says:

    I think she looks like Annette Bening and sounds like her as well!

  31. Bec says:

    She looks so OLD at certain times! It’s so strange. She looks 30 and even 40 at moments. The nose is NOT natural but what else is going on? is it botox or a peel? I can’t believe she’s 22.

  32. MB says:

    Jesus Christ. Sometimes the comments on here make me sick. Tweaked?! She is 22. I know it must be confusing (!!) because we are so used to seeing 16 year old celebs who look and act like they are 35 (I’m looking at you, Courtney Stodden) and 35 year old actresses desperately trying to look 16 (I’m looking at you….everwomaninhollywood) but I can assure you: this is what a mature 22 year old looks like who has been styled and made up within an inch of her life. No tweaking, just a horrible dress and a too-tight hairdo. No escandalo today

  33. blinditemreader says:

    I think she’s beautiful and I love her topknot (they are totes chic). I have no idea what’s going on with her nose but it is a bit distracting.

  34. NeoCleo says:

    The ensemble in the first photo is gods-awful, especially the shoes. It’s saved only a tiny bit by the fact that a very pretty young woman is wearing this getup.

    I had a hard time seeing her relation to the Olsen twins until I spotted the last photo. Bingo! This woman is undoubtedly an Olsen.
