January 2012- Starting 2012 with the right foot, we got to see Elle's beautiful photoshoot for Teen Vogue's February Issue. We also got to see her giggly self during her appearance on The Ellen Show on Jan 3rd. On January 12th, Elle wore a stunning Rodarte gown to the 17th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards. Later, Elle hosted the Dinner in Celebration of Rodarte, held at the Chateau Marmont in California. She was then spotted out and about in Beverly Hills on 21st. Another project for Elle was rumored later this month called Lonely Hunter.
