Usually I'm pretty good with my Olsen vs. Olsen identification, but I must admit that these photos had me stumped. They were labeled as Mary-Kate, which would be great to see after her little hospital scare last week, but methinks that it's Ashley. If only they weren't so wiley and hidey around the cameras. So I'm going to go ahead and say that this is Ashley Olsen (also, MK doesn't wear jeans or pastels all that often, and I'm a loser). But, in case you really need your Mary-Kate fix, too, after the jump is a cute video of her during her Nylon Magazine shoot talking about her fashion inspiration and posing for her shots.

Am I the only one totally bored by these 2?
1i think its ashley too. cause on people.com mary-kate had on a different outfit.
2I think this is Mary-Kate and not Ashley. Ashley has a fuller face than this (other than their fashion sense, it's the only way I can tell them apart).
3
FB no ur not the only one..
4The only time I can tell which Olsen is which is when they use to dress different and when they had different hair colors lol.
5i'm 1000% sure that IS marykate not ashley. but they are looking very very similar these days, so i can see why it's easy to confuse the two!
6yea i agree with stacygold..they are looking similar these days..who knows..i give up..LOL.
7picture #2 screams Ashley but picture #3 screams Mary-kate because of the posture shes in and her shoes are something MK would wear. But i agree these pics are very puzzling!
8
these girls look like lil trolls still..
9i remember when they had thats show as pre teens.. they would always switch and be the other person.. maybe thats what they are doing now.. just for fuN!!
i would if i had a twin.. keeps everyone guessing!!
10This is Mary Kate for sure. I know I'm a big dork but I love me some Olsen's and this is difinitely Mary Kate!!!
11If I'd dress like that on a daily basis my family would think I'm on drugs.
12Dont they have different hair color?
13She sounds perpetually stoned
14Of course they look similar. They are twinnnnnssssss.
15there's something about being a twin that gives you the power to tell every other twin apart....with that said, this is MK for sure. She's also recently been wearing those jeans with the holes in the knees since she was released from the hospital.
16Mary-Kate for sure!!!!!!!!
17both are so pretty:D
18I have absolutely no idea which Olsen that is, and I'm not even going to try and guess. They have to be one of the most identical fraternal twin sets. They are more identical than the medically identical Tia and Tamera Mowry.
19i'd put some serious money down that this is ashley...also, they are fraternal, not identical twins, BTW...
20This is Mary-Kate for sure. Ashley has fuller lips and slightly more "done" blond locks. I must admit I was def thinking the cover of Nylon looked mighty like Ashley though!
21its mary kate first mk has been spotted in nyc bc she redecorating her apt and ashley doesnt paint her nails only mk does. other sites have confirmed that its mk
22This is mos. def. mary kate!!
23that's definitely mary-kate.
24Soo Ashley x_x;
25It's most definatly Mary-Kate. It's quite sad I can tell the two apart so well, but it is MK. There are easy ways to tell. 1). MK's face always looks quite drawn and pale in comparison to Ashley who's face is much fuller. Probably down to Mary-Kates eating habits or lack-there-of. 2). Mary-Kate always uses drastic or bold coloured nail polish i.e. black or red. As you can see from the pics above she is wearing black. Ashley on the other hand usually goes without nail polish, however her choice of colour would be a clear nail polish to suit her sophisticated style. 3). Those boots are the creepy looking torture, sorry I mean balanciaga ankle boots MK lived in for about 6 months. Unfortunatly there back but it's a good way of telling them apart. 4). MK's smaller frame and bad posture. Mary-Kate always walks with a slight,or sometimes perfectly noticeable hump on her back, particularly when escaping from the papparrazi. And her weight seems to have dropped again, you can see a slight change between October and now. Although it's probably because she hasn't been well of late, she seems rather thin. Just my analysis.
26i am 99.9% sure its MK! and im also sure im a bigger loser haha
27She supposed to be dead!!! DAMN!!
28The left pic looks more like Ashley and the right looks like MK, but judging by the shoes and disheveled look, I think I am leaning more towards MK.
29Ashley? I don't know!
30I'm really digging the music but Mary-kate comes off as disingenuous at times which always disturbs me. It's as if she has something to say but disengages at the last second as if she has donned a conversational muffler. I don't know, something about it just bothers me. Maybe she's just shy?
31It's Ashley. This is going to sound gross, but I am really good at telling them apart. I have a sister who is 6 years younger than me, so not only I did go though my Full House phase watching them, but vis my sis, I have also watched all of their movies and other TV shows (yes, they had other TV shows). Anyway, it's Ashley.
32I can never tell these two apart, but I'm putting my money on MK!
33thrashy girls. can't they just tie up their bloody hair?
34Looks like MK to me.
35That's MK.
36Le sigh...
37Def MK.
38I have those boots!
39Pretty mess.
40definitely MK
