This might look like a casual outfit, but we guarantee it still costs a fortune!
Ashley Olsen dropped by a nail salon in Beverly Hills today to get her weekly manicure, and she opted to wear a sleeveless cream colored sweater and matching maxi skirt. On anyone else this ensemble wouldn't be flattering, but on the pint size fashionista it looks like perfection!
We're so curious about the Elizabeth & James designer's love life... we haven't seen her with a man in a while! Rumors swirled in March that the blonde beauty was enjoying secret hook-ups with Johnny Depp, but until we see photographic proof, we're not buying it!

Premiere Magazine
Robert Pattinson graced the cover of French mag
Premiere's special Cannes May issue and the 25-year-old actor made quite the candid confession regarding director David Cronenberg and his upcoming film,
Cosmopolis.
“Filming
Cosmopolis with David changed something in me," the
Twilight star said. "It gave me balls.â€
“I have 5 projects lined up right now that follow the path that movie opened for me," he continued. "Before, I spent my time doubting myself. As soon as I read a script that I liked, I was working myself up, asking myself if I was good enough. Now, I tell myself: ‘F— it! If they want to hire you, go!â€
What a confident statement from arguably Hollywood's next leading man! While many might not have known that about R-Patz's persona, it's refreshing to see what can happen when someone with his talent believes in himself.
Cosmopolis premieres at the Cannes Film Festival later this month.

Rihanna was rushed to the hospital Monday following the "Schiaparelli And Prada: Impossible Conversations" Costume Institute Gala, but clearly she didn't think it was cause for concern because she was well enough to tweet a photo of her arm hooked up to an IV drip. It was reported that the Barbados-born beauty has actually been suffering from the flu since last week, which is also the reason why she missed her SNL rehearsal.
Rumors
have been swirling that the pop star's friends have been urging her to enter rehab, though!
"Rihanna loves to party but this past month she's gotten really out of control. She's been drinking almost every day and talking about smoking weed a lot too," a source told
Star magazine.
It's pretty well known that Katy Perry's bestie loves to let loose, but apparently there's a darker issue behind her wild behavior -- heartbreak over ex-boyfriend Chris Brown!

John Travolta's assault and sexual harassment case is getting more complicated with a number of additional accusers coming forward.
Travolta's attorney, Marty Singer, says all the accusations are "absurd" and "false."
The first accuser's attorney, Okorie Okorocha, tells
Radar:
"By the time this case is over, Marty Singer will have to accuse more than 100 men of lying because I have been contacted by people, mostly men, that have first hand information about similar behavior on John Travolta's part to that contained in the lawsuits I have already filed against him."
The two accusers, labeled as John Doe #1 and John Doe #2, are both masseuses who claim they were harassed on the job while giving the A-list star a deep tissue massage.
Okorocha adds, "I have witnesses and the potential for more accusers in virtually every state of the union who have called me."
