Courtesy of Jimmy Choo; Courtesy of Silver Factory; Courtesy of Mulberry; FilmMagic Lana Del Rey ‘s personal style is as unique as her inimitable voice — and designers are taking note. Silver Factory , an Irish denim and T-shirt brand, just released a pair of denim cut-offs inspired by the songstress (top right). The washed-blue denim shorts — aptly named the “Lana” — are influenced by the pouty singer’s “retro style in [their] basic cut with dip-dyed, faded ends,” according to MTV Style . You can buy the shorts online here . Silver Factory isn’t the first brand to use the sultry songbird as its muse, however. Earlier in the year Mulberry announced its “Del Rey” bag (bottom left); the starlet got to try it first, but the leather carry-all is finally available to buy at Mulberry stores and online starting at $1,250.

Justin Campbell/Startraks Her reign as an indie darling continues, but Elizabeth Olsen is a reluctant fashion plate. “I’m actually not very good with all this designer stuff,” the 22-year-old tells Refinery29 . “I just know basic ones.” For a newcomer, however, her learning curve is rather impressive. Along with Marni and Céline, she swears by edgier labels including Isabel Marant and Carven. “I wore an orange floral Proenza Schouler dress that I was like obsessed with to the W magazine pre-Golden Globes party,” she gushes of a recent standout look (left). And though she’s Mary-Kate and Ashley’s little sister, don’t credit The Row designers with Elizabeth’s ingénue style. ”I don’t live with them, and they don’t dress me,” she says.

And while we’ve found ourselves going “mad” for the line , it appears Hollywood has, too! Gwen Stefani stepped out earlier this month in the black lace top ($45), which 90210 star Jessica Stroup dressed up for an event over the summer. Giuliana Rancic wore the same blouse in gold for a taping of E! News , too. Emmy Rossum took her love of lace up a notch, sporting the black knit grace lace dress ($150) on a movie set in Los Angeles. Jaime King rocked the look, too, wearing it in white to a party at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont. Mom-to-be Hilary Duff is even in on the action; she carried the grey animal-print cardigan ($89.50) while vacationing in Brazil in September.
