Any time we see photos of one of the Olsen twins, we always have to slow down to double-check if it’s Ashley or Mary-Kate. But when they both went out this weekend in gray T-shirts and skinny jeans, we could barely figure it out! (For the record, it’s Mary-Kate on the left, and Ashley on the right). Mary-Kate accessorized her slouchy shirt with a big belt, Christian Louboutin pumps and white Ray Ban sunglasses. Ashley pairs her slimmer American Apparel t-shirt and Earnest Sewn Harlan 18 jeans with Mosley Tribe aviators, a Givenchy “Nightingale” bag and major wedge heels. We want to know which twin’s style you like better! Tell us: Who wears their gray t-shirt and jeans better? Mary-Kate or Ashley?

We’re so used to seeing Cameron Diaz in her usual laid-back California style, that we did a double take seeing her in a conservative pinstriped suit on the set of her new film What Happens In Vegas?. The night before, Cameron left the set in a signature look — denim miniskirt, off-the-shoulder sweater, chunky jewelry and her oversize denim Chanel bag. But filming in lower Manhattan the next day, she suited up in a navy suit, white blouse and Stuart Weitzman pumps. Just made us think — what if Cameron were to start dressing like this in her off time? Should she? Tell us: Which look do you like better for Cameron? Conservative or California cool?
