Leave it to an Olsen to Make Neutrals and Anklets Look Damn Chic

It's a rare occurrence when we spot Ashley Olsen out at an event, but lucky for us, the designer made an appearance at a Santa Monica art gallery last night. Though many young stars wouldn't be able to pull off such a mature look, Ashley did it flawlessly. She started with a basic black wool turtleneck and black leather pants. Then here's where the look started to go damn chic. She topped her ensemble with a camel coat by The Row and a beige scarf, which she left draped over her shoulders. Finally, a pair of ladylike slingback pointy pumps and two matching gold anklets completed Ashley's sophisticated and minimalist look. If you're feeling neutrals, this outfit would be totally appropriate at the office. Then with a quick switch of outerwear and heels, you can wear it on a chilly weekend too. Shop Ashley's exact coat, as well as a few similar pieces below.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Talk Twin Intuition, Stepping Out of the Spotlight in Elle UK

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen appear on dual Elle UK covers for the glossy's April issue.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen appear on dual Elle UK covers for the glossy's April issue. The sisters have managed to build a massive high-fashion empire helmed by their luxury line, The Row, since leaving their acting careers behind. Mary-Kate and Ashley, who show off their well-honed individual style in the pages of the publication, talk about their "shared" thought process and their somewhat controlling approach to their design work. The Olsens also reflect on their decision to mostly stay out of the public eye these days. The full feature appears in the April issue of Elle UK, on sale Wednesday, March 7. In the meantime, check out some highlights from the interview:

  • Ashley on how she and Mary-Kate think alike: "We're attracted to different things, but we arrive at the same place. I think we're probably unaware of how intuitive it might seem from the outside. It's basically one thought process shared between two people."
  • Mary-Kate on other celebrity fashion lines: "Of course we knew about the trend of celebrities as designers, but we'd done that already when we were much younger. I don't understand the new idea of designers as celebrities either. To me, the Phoebe Philo [Celine designer] kind of modesty is the way to go. We love beautiful things. That's the only driving impulse."
  • Ashley on their hands-on approach to work: "We are perfectionists. We've always wanted to be closely involved with everything, totally hands on — that's why it works. If we step away, it stops working. I know it sounds controlling, but that's how it has to be."
  • Ashley on staying out of the public eye: "I don't have to be a pretty face. I've done that, but now it's important and liberating to be on the other side of the lens. I don't like to be the center of attention anymore."

Mary-Kate and Ashley Model The Row at an Event For Olsenboye

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen stepped out in NYC this morning for an exclusive JCPenney event held at Pier 57.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen stepped out in NYC this morning for an exclusive JCPenney event held at Pier 57. The designers dressed in shades of black and gray, with each sister carrying one of their own luxury handbags from The Row. They were on hand to support their lower-priced brand, Olsenboye, which is sold exclusively at JCPenney.




Today's event brought out a fashionable crowd, with Charlotte Ronson. Diane von Furstenburg, and Nicole Miller also on hand. JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson was the star of the gathering, though, taking the stage to share JCP's new pricing strategy. It seems fans of Mary-Kate and Ashley's Olsenboye can look forward to picking up items at lower prices in future seasons, but they're taking the opposite approach when it comes to The Row considering the astronomical cost of their $39,000 alligator backpack.
