- Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen step out in coordinating looks for rare NYFW moment
- The New York Minute stars were last publicly seen together in February 2024
- Since making more than two dozen films during their childhood, the twins typically stay out of the spotlight
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen made a rare appearance together during New York Fashion Week.
The twin sisters, both 39, were among the guests at W Magazine and Bloomingdale’s NYFW event at Eleven Madison Park.
Mary-Kate and Ashley coordinated their looks with oversized scarves in different prints and posed together as they stood alongside the publication’s Editor-in-Chief, Sara Moonves.
The sisters also had a matching beauty moment with each of them wearing their hair down and parted in the middle.
Other celebrities in attendance at the NYFW party were Olivia Wilde, Tessa Thompson, Emily Ratajkowski, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade and more.
The New York Minute actresses are rarely photographed in public together, with one of their last known appearances being a stylish sister date in the Big Apple during a February 2024 girls’ night out. For the low-key outing, they were also joined by their younger sister, Elizabeth Olsen, 36.
All three Olsens were bundled up in chic dark coats and accessories, with Elizabeth topping off her look with a beanie. They also wore oversize bags on their arms.
Earlier this year, Elizabeth stopped by Today with Jenna & Friends, where she made rare comments about growing up with famous sisters.
“I’m one of six [siblings],” Elizabeth told Jenna Bush Hager and guest co-host (and twin sister!) Barbara Bush in March. “I loved it, especially being the baby. I really enjoyed it.”
“I also really admire the partnership that [Mary-Kate and Ashley] have and don’t compete with it, in a way. It’s something different,” The Assessment actress continued. “It’s a really interesting thing to watch. I admire it; it’s a different kind of connection.”
Elizabeth explained she was just 10 years old when she first became “curious about auditioning,” but “realized very quickly it wasn’t for me” because she had other interests.
“But during that time, I thought, ‘I don’t want to be associated with [Mary-Kate and Ashley],’ for some reason,” she continued. “I guess I understood what nepotism was like inherently as a 10-year-old. I don’t know if I knew the word, but there is some sort of association of not earning something that I think bothered me at a very young age.”
Mary-Kate and Ashley were just 6 months old when they joined the cast of Full House as Michelle Tanner.
From there, the fraternal twins went on to star in more than two dozen movies between 1992 to 2004, including It Takes Two, Passport to Paris, Holiday in the Sun, Our Lips Are Sealed and more.
In recent years, however, they have opted out of the spotlight.
