Move over, Mary-Kate and Ashley—there's a new Olsen sister in town! Lizzie Olsen has earned some serious accolades for her breakout performance in Martha Marcy May Marlene, as well as for her standout style. We've rounded up the young actress' best looks so far, and we think it's fair to say that the 22-year-old is well on her way to fashion icon status. Don't forget to check out our exclusive shoot starring Lizzie in head-to-toe Chanel from the December issue!

Lizzie Olsen set herself apart sartorially from her sisters from the very beginning — while MK & A are known as the originators of "hobo chic" and often go the avant-garde route, their little sis prefers to keep it simple. Here she is at the New York screening of Mao's Last Dancer wearing a sweet, belted blue dress and clogs.

The "new" Olsen sister was the talk of the town at Sundance this year, and at the premiere of her buzzed-about flick Martha Marcy May Marlene, she nailed the "indie darling" look perfectly in this cute, cozy ensemble. Isn't she too adorable for words?

Lizzie continued her epic Martha Marcy May Marlene press tour in Cannes, where she called upon her older sisters for two standout ensembles. The first was this ethereal, white daytime look from The Row's Fall 2011 collection, and the intricate embroidery and the sheer fabric really blew us away.

On the evening of the Cannes premiere of Martha Marcy May Marlene, Lizzie brought the sophisticated red carpet drama of a big screen siren way beyond her years. This '20s-inspired look from The Row's Fall 2011 collection is the definition of Hollywood glamour, don't you think?

Minimalism at its finest. At a luncheon for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Lizzie paired a crisp T by Alexander Wang button down with a colorful statement necklace.

We believe that this little Carven dress, adorned with pins by Chanel and Jewelmint, is adequate proof that Lizzie is a style icon in training. Bonus points for the bold lip!

Lizzie floored us in this floral Erdem Resort 2012 gown at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Martha Marcy May Marlene. Her soft waves and natural glow make the look even more romantic.

Clearly Lizzie is an Erdem fan — she rocked a skirt from the label's Resort 2012 collection to an Armani Exchange and NYLON magazine dinner held in her honor. It looks like she's learned a thing or two from her sisters — pairing the feminine print with all black and a bold lip gives it that "Olsen" edge that we've grown to love.

Pretty in Preen! Lizzie wore a patterned skirt by the Brit label to the Mill Valley Film Festival in California.

Lizzie can pull off the high-fashion look just as well as her designer siblings. Here, she chose a sleek silver gown by Calvin Klein collection, and she paired it with smooth locks and a perfect smokey eye.

Mary Kate and Ashley are already on Karl Lagerfeld's ever-growing list of muses, and we are willing to bet that he'll add their little sis next. Lizzie wore this blush gown from the Chanel Spring 2012 Couture collection to the BFI London Film Festival, and we think she looks darling.

You know you've made it when you've had your McQueen moment! The rising style star wore this black dress to the 49th annual New York Film Festival presentation of Martha Marcy May Marlene at Lincoln Center. Those shoes are everything.

If this final look doesn't prove that Lizzie is well on her way to style icon status, we don't know what will. She wore this stunning Chanel Fall 2009 Couture look to the The Museum Of Modern Art's 4th Annual Film Benefit to honor Pedro Almodovar.
