Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's Style Evolution
From Full House to The Row, This Is What 20 Years of the Olsen Twins' Style Looks Like
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's style has evolved since their days as little Michelle Tanner on Full House, when their fashion choices consisted mostly of jean overalls and large hair bows. Whether you first met the fraternal twins then (when they were just 6 months old), you got hooked on their Dualstar Entertainment straight-to-video movies (it's a three-way tie among Billboard Dad, Our Lips Are Sealed, and Passport to Paris for me), or you tuned in as they built their Elizabeth and James and The Row fashion empire, chances are you've been privy to the twins' red carpet style for quite some time now.
As a '90s child, I grew up with the Olsen twins — everything they wore, I wanted to wear, too. Two decades later, the twins have totally transformed, but I still want to imitate their style. In their younger years, Mary-Kate and Ashley showed themselves to be masters of color and print, but today, they've matured into masters of sharp tailoring, high-impact details, and clean, contrasting palettes. The latest proof? The twins took home the Accessory Designer of the Year award at the 2019 CFDA Fashion Awards. Take a walk down memory lane and see just how dramatic their style evolution has been.
