This is a bug that has been fixed in the version under development. The
processing of directives wasn't digging deep enough into an Ellipsoid's
Graphics representation for the directives to be applied properly. The
following function could be used as a workaround in version 7.
<< MultivariateStatistics`
styleEllipsoid[ellipsoid_, style__] := Graphics[ellipsoid] /. {_,
b_Line} :> {style, b}
(* black ellipsoid *)
styleEllipsoid[Ellipsoid[{1.4, 1.4}, {1.4, 5.7}, {{-0.7, 0.6}, {-0.6,
-0.7}}], Black]
(* dashed black ellipsoid *)
styleEllipsoid[Ellipsoid[{1.4, 1.4}, {1.4, 5.7}, {{-0.7, 0.6}, {-0.6,
-0.7}}], Black, Dashed]
