As two of today's youngest style icons, special attention should be paid to what Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen wore to the Met Gala. Both sisters went vintage, with Ashley picking a beaded orange dress with gauzy overlay from Dior Couture. Mary-Kate opted for Chanel and stepped out in a beaded, crop-waist black dress covered with a fur-trimmed robe. Which Olsen twin has your vote?

From Karlie Kloss' pretty blush tones and hair that won't quit, to Olivia Wilde's all-out vampy sex appeal, we were hit with many beauty looks we loved this week — all so different, but all so damn pretty. Blake Lively stepped out at a premiere for the first time in a while and let us tell you, she's lost none of her magic touch. The hair is still so covetable, the makeup so bang-on. The Olsen sisters attended a function together and both of them were sporting minimal makeup — we love seeing them clean-faced and naturally beautiful, and if anyone can rock the look, it's them. Kirsten Dunst tried out a hot pink lip, Vanessa Hudgens played with a matte nude, and Emma Stone? Well, you'll just have to click through and see for yourself!
Mary-Kate Olsen and boyfriend Olivier Sarkozy squeezed in PDA when they watched the New York Knicks play the Miami Heat in NYC last night. The couple sat in the stands together and chatted, snuggled and kissed, despite their team losing 99-93.
Mary-Kate skipped out on recent stylish fun during Paris Fashion Week, where her sister Ashley Olsen and stars like Jessica Alba, Marion Cotillard and Jessica Chastain attended various shows. However, Mary-Kate, who recently released a new handbag collection for Elizabeth and James with sister Ashley, may have a chance to catch a show in the City of Light before Fashion Week ends on March 6.
Luxurious but not exactly affordable is probably the most obvious — and most accurate — way to describe Mary-Kate and Ashely Olsen's collection of handbags for The Row, which includes a $39,000 backpack (that we've only ever seen the designers themselves wearing). Now the sister duo is looking to change all of that with the launch of a bag collection for their Elizabeth and James label. The major difference in this endeavor is the price point. While The Row skews towards the high end of the market, Elizabeth and James is the designers' more accessible brand, and Mary-Kate and Ashley have crafted these bags with that focus. "The price point is below [Alexander] Wang and [Phillip] Lim but above Marc [Jacobs] and Tory [Burch]." "And Rebecca Minkoff," Ashley interrupted. "We wanted these bags to be affordable." That means the full range of bags — which includes satchels, shoppers, messenger bags, backpacks, hobo bags, crossbody bags, clutches, pouches, and wallets — will stay between $125 to $395 USD for small leather goods and $395 to $625 USD for bags. Not bad considering this duo won't be sacrificing quality to meet their lower price points. Looking to Italian suede and leather, calf hair, lambskin, and strong hardware, these accessories will be getting the signature Olsen design treatment without the exclusive, Olsen-only price tag. Stay tuned: the bags hit stores this July.
Mary-Kate Olsen and her boyfriend, Olivier Sarkozy, watched the New York Knicks play the LA Lakers last night at Madison Square Garden. The couple sneaked in some PDA while watching the game, with Mary-Kate tenderly kissing Olivier. Mary-Kate and Olivier can't seem to get enough of the courtside action, and although they've raised some eyebrows with their 16-year age difference, they do have one important person standing by their side: Olivier's ex-wife. Olivier's ex reportedly loves Mary-Kate because the designer is always including her in decisions about her and Olivier's children.
It's time to pay year-end homage to the designer who stood out above the rest, and we can't do it without your help. Here's the thing: there was a plethora of fashionable talent to watch in 2012, but we've narrowed it down to five individuals who consistently stole the show with a genius mix of gorgeous runway fodder and red-carpet wins. So which designer really knocked your socks off? Was it Raf Simons, the newly minted creative director of Christian Dior? Did Joseph Altuzarra's luxe nomadic runway pieces speak to you? Was it Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's minimalist aesthetic for The Row that impressed you most? Were you dying over Prabal Gurung's red-carpet creations (hello, Jennifer Lawrence at the Hunger Games premiere in LA)? Or is it Hedi Slimane's overhaul of Saint Laurent Paris that resonates with you? Vote for your favourite fashion designer of the year below!
Mary-Kate Olsen and her boyfriend, Olivier Sarkozy, had a busy weekend in NYC. They shared a lunch date on Saturday in their East Village neighbourhood, then were together to catch a game in NYC on Sunday night. They sat side by side to root for the Knicks as they took on the visiting Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden. Mary-Kate and Olivier cheered the team on to a 88-76 win and indulged in some celebratory PDA. It was the latest instance of Mary-Kate and Olivier's courtside loving — Mary-Kate and Olivier showed lots of love at a Knicks vs. Mavericks match-up earlier this month. Mary-Kate's not deterred by anyone's having issue with their 16-year age gap. She told WSJ. magazine earlier this year, "Everyone has an opinion. I find it's better to focus on what's in front of you."
Mary-Kate Olsen and her boyfriend Olivier Sarkozy watched the New York Knicks play the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night at Madison Square Garden. It seems Olivier and Mary-Kate didn't want to hide their affection, as they hugged, kissed and laughed throughout the match, which the Knicks won. Olivier also had his two children along for the sporting event. Since getting together with Olivier nine months ago, Mary-Kate has spent plenty of time with the Sarkozy kids, whose mum is Olivier's ex-wife Charlotte Bernard. In fact, one of the first times Olivier and Mary-Kate were spotted together was at a Knicks game back in April.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen joined Julianne Moore on Thursday night at WSJ. Magazine's Innovator of the Year awards. The bash was held at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC, and Mary-Kate and Ashley's line The Row was recognised by WSJ. for being the fashion innovator of the year. At the event, the girls cosied up and chatted to Vogue editor Anna Wintour, while Julianne hung out with Linda Evangelista. Revenge star Christa B. Allen was also in attendance, and the Olsens' award was presented to them by the Tribeca Film Festival's co-founder Jane Rosenthal. Well done, ladies!
Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen have already taken the fashion world by storm with their designs, and now the duo is tackling the beauty arena with a new fragrance deal. Mary-Kate and Ashley will debut an Elizabeth and James-branded scent this March at Sephora in the US. "We look forward to bringing the modern perspective and fashion philosophy of Elizabeth and James designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to life with this prestige fragrance," Michael McGeever of Sephora Originals, told WWD. This isn't the Olsen's first foray into beauty, however. Previously they orchestrated beauty launches for Walmart including fragrances and body sprays. But while those were aimed at a more youthful audience, this Elizabeth and James collaboration is sure to be all grown up. This announcement comes after their stellar Spring 2013 showing at New York fashion week, and it will be interesting to see how they translate their casual-chic design aesthetic into aromatic notes.
