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

Katie Henry — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:30:16 PST

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.

The designing duo gave a sneak peek of their pre-Fall 2012 The Row collection recently and described the assortment to WWD as "aristocrat meets equestrian."

Ashley Olsen kept warm in a furry-lined coat and clutched her bag close during an afternoon walk in the East Village of NYC on Saturday. Vogue named Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen best dressed of 2011, and as one-half of the famously fashionable duo, Ashley was showing off her street style. The sisters take their Elizabeth & James, The Row, and StyleMint lines very seriously and recently also signed on as creative directors to Superga. Still, MK and Ashley have been letting fans see a bit of their silly sides with their monthly StyleMint videos.

Ashley Olsen showed support for her former Full House costar, Bob Saget, at the annual Cool Comedy - Hot Cuisine for Scleroderma Research Foundation event in NYC last night. Bob, who lost his sister to the disease, hosted the charity evening, which featured performances from comedians Seth Meyers, Colin Quinn, and Jeff Ross. Mary-Kate wasn't on hand for the fundraiser this year, but she and Ashley did their part to help out by donating tickets to a The Row fashion show for the live auction. Also up for grabs was the chance to see the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which is being taped tomorrow. We'll be at the annual runway extravaganza, though the full sexy soiree won't air until the end of the month.

Christian Louboutin Whisks "Very Smart" and "Natural Beauty" Blake Lively Off Her Feet

Allie Merriam — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 08:14:55 PDT

Blake Lively wore Dolce & Gabbana last night for a bash in honor of her good friend Christian Louboutin at Barneys in NYC. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, along with Blake, models Elettra Wiedemann, Iman, and more hosted the event for the legendary shoe designer in honor of the launch of his book Christian Louboutin and the 20th anniversary of his brand.

Blake, who's well known for once buying 40 pairs of Christian shoes during a sample sale, clearly is on great terms with the man, since he literally whisked her off her feet after the event. Christian was happy to gush about Blake when we caught up with him at the party. Christian said of Blake, "Not only is she beautiful, she is very talented and she's very smart. One of the things that is most important for women and men, at least for me, is intelligence. Through a lot of things, she has proved that she is really intelligent. and she also has this natural beauty and this natural way of moving, which makes her absolutely a great image."

The main guy in Blake's personal life these days is really Ryan Reynolds, who's been in Boston shooting R.I.P.D. with Jeff Bridges. Between his big screen filming schedule and her work in the Big Apple on Gossip Girl, they've been making it work with plenty of Amtrak rides between the two northeast cities.
