Mary-Kate Olsen Dubbed “Modern Icon” by Elle

Does This Mean Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Off-Kilter Look

Is Also Ahead of it’s Time?

Mary-Kate Olsen, former child star, designer and full-time fashion icon, seems have dialed down her clothing kookiness to near normal levels while in the eye of the media storm over refusing to speak to police about the death of Heath Ledger. Now that she’s off the hook, our fingers are crossed that her inner muse will return to confound and amaze (but more likely confound) us with her wild and wacky ways.

Olsen’s cover and photo spread in this month’s Elle UK demonstrates why dissecting every ensemble she wears is practically an Olympic sport. Feast your eyes on the vertiginous wedges she’s working. It’s like fashion meets engineering. She’s posing all “down and out” because she probably can’t stand up or walk in them, but mobility is not the point of high heels. That’s why taxis were invented. We imagine Victoria Beckham working out with ankle weights to avoid a Naomi Campbell-like face plant when she tips down the red carpet wearing these skyscrapers.

Want to get Mary Kate’s trailblazing style?

Get this look for less with these fabulous JS Gali Woven Heel Wedges.

Red Carpet Rivalry: The Dark Knight in Tokyo Vs The Mummy in LA

Red Carpet Looks from the Last 24 hours

Maggie Gyllenhaal Goes Up Against Michelle Yeoh

Maggie pairs black criss-cross sandals with a daring orange peep-show dress by Jean Paul Gaultier at the Japanese premiere of The Dark Knight held at Tokyo International Forum on Thursday in Tokyo, Japan.

The Dark Knight has been dominating the international box office with $65.6 million at 7,143 theaters in 43 markets, pushing its foreign cumulative take to $126.3 million. It’s international gross total stands right now at $126.3 million, and worldwide at over $440 million.

Meanwhile, the Bale/Gyllenhaal flick is also over halfway to earning the title of highest money-making film of all time, which is currently held by Titanic at a whopping $601 million.

While ShoeMinx has a hard time promoting The Mummy Boring Formulaic Cash Grab Set in the Desert, we have no qualms about giving huge style props to Michelle Yeoh. She added smart to sexy as a Bond girl opposite Pierce Brosnan’s 007, and proved her dramatic and action credentials in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

Michelle certainly brings a mix of silk and steel to this franchise. We love her choice of YSL platform shoes for this big splashy premiere. Great choice with the vibrant yellow gold cocktail dress. We love these shoes in the “Sahara” color even more. Check out YSL’s shoe collection here.
