Mary-Kate and Ashley Oslen aren’t the same Olsen twins who played Michelle on Full House. Over the years, the Olsen twins have not only blown us away with their acting but their fashion has and remains an influential part of culture. Click though to see the ways their style has transformed since their days on sitcoms to becoming world famous fashion designers.
Matching Jumpsuits
The Olsen Twins were cast on Full House when they were just 6 months old…who wouldn’t fall in love with these two?! These jump-suits are too sweet…just look at the puff sleeves and lace bodices. We can’t get enough of this look.
Matching Jumpsuits
Pajama-Esque
We can’t get over this adorable set…and their pose makes it that much sweeter! These little ones are about the only people we know who could pull off these pajama-esque sets. The lace touch at the collar and at the end of the sleeves is absolutely adorable.
Pajama-Esque
Pastel Queens
Pastel dresses will always be “in”…take a stroll down Rodeo Drive and you’ll know what we mean! We love how the girls are matching, but are also taking on their own unique style. While Mary-Kate is in purple with a sweet headband, Ashley is in pink with a bonnet. The flowers tie their outfits together, oh, and also their identical looks!
Pastel Queens
Legendary
This is one of our favorite looks for the twins. From the hair bows, to the matching flower dresses, to the cardigans wrapped around their waists, we cannot get enough! And how can we forget to mention the lace socks and bright red shoes. How cute are these two?!
Legendary
Neon
Neon is back! The neon vests and t-shirts are so 90’s…and we can’t forget those big matching scrunchies! The high pony-tails and short bangs are perfect for their young age.
Neon
The Bangs
We need to dedicate an entire page to the Olsen twins’ legendary bangs. This look was so typical for kids during the 90’s, this sleek, easy cut is adorable! Whether their hair was in pigtails, ponytails or down…the bangs made every look word!
The Bangs
High Socks
Mary-Kate and Ashley’s bold blue sets and high socks were such a popular look for the era. We love the messy bang look and the floral print sneakers.
High Socks
Simple
While we love the bold colors, we also can’t shy away from the simple, calming colors either. These lace and satin cream and pale pink dresses are to die for…and so are those bows!
Simple
Plaids & Braids
There’s something about the plaid shirt and braid combo that is adorable! We also love how one twin is donning a blue shirt and blue belt, while the other a pink shirt and pink belt. Their individuality is starting to shine through!
Plaids & Braids
Sophisticated
These long, satin and velvet black dresses are sophisticated and fashion-forward. Velvet will always be a fashionable choice. Their sweet loafers are so grown-up and those flower crowns are everything! We are also obsessed with the curls.
Sophisticated
Christmas Sweaters
Christmas sweaters, turtlenecks and leather boots…oh my! Although this photo was taken during the 90’s, kids today wear the exact same outfits!
Christmas Sweaters
High-Waisted Jeans
High-waisted jeans are so in right now! The way fashion styles are recycled over the years, truly never gets old! The belt and jean combo is also back in style, as is the scrunchi!
High-Waisted Jeans
Shades
We can really see the twins’ style change in this shot from the previous styles. From cute and girly to hip and edgy. We can’t get over Mary Kate’s pin stripe dress and Ashley’s man-tailored shirt. The hats and the John Lennon glasses are the perfect added touch.
Shades
Colored Lenses
Glasses make a second appearance, but this time we’re talking colored lenses. We totally love the chokers and the baby tees. These two look like they’re ready to travel the world in these fab outfits!
Colored Lenses
Still Twinning
We guess the girls went through a period when they couldn’t get enough of sunglasses…or maybe the Cali sun was extra bright that year! We love the bright, fun summery colors the girls are wearing, and the fact that they’re twinning but also showing individuality. While one twin is wearing a floral shirt and solid pants, the other is wearing a solid shirt and plaid pants…and their shoes aren’t the same!
Still Twinning
Overalls Are Chic
From their iconic It Takes Two movie where the Olsen twins starred alongside Kirstie Alley and Steve Guttenberg, we have the denim overall look. How 90’s is this look? Oh and of course, there’s a lingering plaid tied loosely to a waist and plain T-shirts underneath. This look is the essence of the 90’s.
Overalls Are Chic
Tatted Up
Come on, they were starring in Full House opposite John Stamos as Uncle Jesse, the classic cool uncle who’s obsessed with Elvis. Of course, they were going to get into a little rocker, bad chick look at one point. How adorable are their tats and bandannas though?
Tatted Up
We Can Do It
Awww, the cutest! Again, we’ve got that denim overall look, but with a bit of a high femme touch. Now, the Olsen twins were sporting bandannas tied to their high ponies and the overalls are dress. Let’s not forget the fancier undershirts. Adorable!
We Can Do It
Too Precious
The Olsen twins really did it all! Look how cute they are in those matching lacy layered dresses and ballet flats? The pearl necklaces were the perfect touch!
Too Precious
Little Ladies
Platform black sandals with a matching skirt/top and sweater look. Be a little forgiving, this was totally a look back then. Hence the choker necklaces. They look like little professionals for sure, but still kids with windswept hair. Love!
Little Ladies
It Takes Two
Ah, It Takes Two, what a classic Olsen movie! Of course, they had the whole one twin is a tomboy and one is a bit more…well, fancy! While we admit the tomboy look could have used some pop to it, the Olsen twins pull off the looks. Backwards baseball cap and fancy gloves all in one scene…only the Olsens!
It Takes Two
Just The Beginning
Some Lennon-esque colored lenses and adorable layered haircut framing their faces…so ’97! How about those matching floral silk dresses though? Simple but just enough.
Just The Beginning
Whoa – This Takes Me Back
Wow! What a look…Not sure we’re down with this one, but we have to respect their fashion journey. I mean they were attending the Spice World Hollywood premiere so there’s that.
Whoa – This Takes Me Back
Passport To Paris
While not their best, Passport To Paris (1999) was definitely a solid Olsen twin film. Their bob turned straight and with their polished nails, chokers and spaghetti strap dresses they were ready to take on Paris! Oui, oui!
Passport To Paris
That Hair
The chokers changed a bit and they added a lot more clips and bands into their straight blonde strands. We’re kinda into the velvet dress thing though. This was from the Olsen twin’s pocket planner launch in late 2000.
That Hair
Everything 90s
Even though the two are rocking totally different looks, we love this one. Mary-Kate Olsen has a more casual look but with some style to it from her platform slide-on sandals to her cuffed capris and accessories. Meanwhile, Ashley Olsen is blue head to toe with a more delicate look. How could we fail to mention her crochet sweater?
Everything 90s
Two Of A Kind
Remember Two Of A Kind from 1998 when Mary-Kate and Ashley played twins who were total opposites? Ugh, we miss that show! Wow, throwback…look at Ashley’s Roxy tank! From their hair to their tops, this whole image screams 90s.
Two Of A Kind
Switching Goals
Gender stereotypes aside, the Olsen twins were never shy to push up their sleeves and play on screen. Both girls played the sport and tried to do a bit of a twin switcheroo in this 1999 film. (Again, that hair with the two pieces out but pinned back…so 90’s!)
Switching Goals
The ’90s Are Ending
As the ’90s came to a close, the girls continued to coordinate outfits but show some more maturity in style. They wore matching outfits but as usual, with different colored skirts. The Olsens kept it simple with white plan jewelry. Cute and fun!
The 90’s Are Ending
Live It Up
Entering their tweens, we have longer pin-straight hair with chokers and gasp…tube tops! The Olsen twins were growing up for sure! It happened years ago, and we’re still not over it. Imagine how their mother feels.
Live It Up
N’SYNC Fans
So, the Olsen twins are officially growing into themselves and dressing like young women. They’re let their midriff out and opted for chic dark colors. Tight jeans and a tight tank for Ashley and tight tank with a bohemian skirt for Mary-Kate. Let’s not forget the matching black heels. Gotta look good for the N’SYNC boys!
N’SYNC Fans
Teeny Boppers
Again matching down to the shoes, but my how the Olsen twins have grown! These teenagers looked so elegant and natural in a form-fitting black patterned dress with its lacy cut-outs.
Teeny Boppers
London Calling
Matchy matchy again, but a bit more of a Western look to these outfits. The Olsen twins sported clunky belts with light-washed jeans and some sheer shirts. Love the bead necklaces though!
London Calling
Winning London
From the trendy trench coats to the bucket hat, the Olsen twins dominated street-style for Winning London in 2001. The Olsens went to London to show England what all the fuss was about. We’re sure the Brits were not disappointed!
Winning London
So Little Time
Remember the show So Little Time? We got to see the Olsen twins play teens dealing with everything from family and school to jobs and boys. Their looks in the show were iconic! How about those beachy waves?
So Little Time
Oscar Party
Honestly, the Olsen twins were living in the early 2000s! I mean, we really didn’t need to tell you that. Just look at them at this 2002 Vanity Fair Oscars party.
Oscar Party
The Challenge
The Challenge (2003) was the movie where both girls didn’t realize they both applied to the same reality show competition! Who else could pull off that casual, cute beach look like the Olsen twins?
The Challenge
Catching Waves
Come on, these looks are honestly still cool. We would totally wear that long-sleeved bohemian top or those loose army-green pants. What a fun beach look!
Catching Waves
Not Really
Alright, they really were on a streak here, but these outfits..not for us. The butterfly sheer shirts are something. Ashley paired it with some black pants, while Mary-Kate opted for sleek capris.
Not Really
All Them Layers
Number one, note the flare jeans. Also how about those sequins? Again, we have to forgive what’s now seen as a fashion disaster. Layers and even that hat were a thing. The Olsens were and are trendsetters. We’re just happy to be long past this trend!
All Them Layers
MTV
Black and silver…keeping it classy at the 2002 MTV Music Awards. Ashley went for a fabric part sheer silver shirt with a tight black leather skirt while Mary-Kate Olsen went more loose and flowy with her velour pants (which flared) and black scarf and long sleeved cotton top.
MTV
MTV Take 2
They might not be wearing matching heels but check out their matching red toes! Mary-Kate Olsen opted for plain black long sleeves with white capris while Ashley Olsen picked a more festive black top to go with her black and white patterned skirt. The girls attended the MTV Music Awards in 2003 wearing these looks.
MTV Take 2
I Heart New York
Wow, who could forget their movie New York Minute? The Olsen twins even made those cheesy ‘I Heart New York’ shirts looks cute and fashionable. Of course, Mary-Kate threw on some red shorts while Ashley opted for a red skirt. Back to matching!
I Heart New York
New York, New York
Then at the premiere for their hit movie New York Minute, the Olsen twins coordinated their dresses. With shades of brown, they showed up, looking a bit different with Ashley’s lighter hair and Mary-Kate’s darker locks.
New York New York
Tour Carries On
As they continued their tour for New York Minute, the Olsen twins showed up in L.A. adorned with pearls. Mary-Kate rocked a vintage look with her off-white layered lace dress. Ashley kept it simple with her silver satin.
Tour Carries On
New Hairstyles And Hair Colors
These two totally rocked the red carpet in their individual styles. Mary Kate is stunning in a kimono-style dress with a satin blue belt and Ashley looks darling in a brown and white flowered gown. We’re seeing more jewelry on these two as they get older. We love the statement chokers and dangly earrings. Also, look at those hairstyles and hair colors! Totally new for these two.
New Hairstyles And Hair Colors
The Good Life
Seriously, this was such an early 2000’s look. Of course, they matched their necklaces and their hair had the same twisted waves to it. Tees and some midriff, classic.
The Good Life
Velvet Blazers
The girls look as chic as ever in their matching velvet blazers. The neutral colors and the elegant hairstyles they are sporting go flawlessly together.
Velvet Blazers
2003 Keeps Getting Better
Ushering in the millennium, the twins kept their style classy and chic. With leather jackets and casual waves, their look said, red carpets? Yeah, we’re used to it.
2003 Keeps Getting Better
Pant Suit
There’s no fashion venture too bold for the Olsen twins. Pantsuit? Check! Been there, done that. Luckily for everyone that night, they kept their hair different so there was no trouble knowing…wait which one is Ashley? Just testing you! She’s on the left!
Pant Suit
So Sophisticated
Oh yes, 2003 when Mary-Kate Olsen first makes that bold move to go darker than Ashley with her hair. Everyone was shocked that the twins would make such a drastic change. Okay, not really, but it was a big departure from all the matching in their childhood.
So Sophisticated
2004 Was A Good Year
In 2004, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen became the first celebrities to ever share a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Amazing! Mary-Kate showed up in lavender while Ashley Olsen, rocking the blonde locks, wore white and silver.
2004 Was A Good Year
Flowy Beauty
Fans went absolutely wild when Ashley and Mary-Kate showed up on the MTV VMAs! I mean just look at this picture. You can barely see their beautiful, flowy summer dresses amongst all the hands!
Flowy Beauty
Get the Tutorials
Fans all over the world wanted to be just like the Olsen twins. That’s why these smart business women released makeup tutorials, which took the entire world by storm. With their natural beauty and light makeup application, they were the perfect poster women for a makeup tutorial.

Met Gala
You may not remember Ashley’s strapless gold gown or Mary-Kate’s sheer white gown, but this night was one to remember for the Olsen twins. Yes, this was their debut at the Met Gala! They layered up their necklaces and took on the red carpet with the confidence of much older, experienced Met Gala regulars.
Met Gala
YAS
Later that same year, the Olsen twins and Lucky Magazine hosted something called the Miss Davenporte Trunkshow. Just look at those shift dresses! Ashley opted for a clutch while her sister switched things up with a bigger, chunky handbag. Gold and while for 2005!
YAS
Sunshine & Rainbows
Is it us or do these outfits look a bit busy? No, no maybe it’s just their purses spicing things up! Anyway, Ashley looked fabulous in her goucho slacks and halter top, while Mary-Kate kept it casual classy in her wrap dress.
Sunshine & Rainbows
Classy
Wait hold up, back to the Miss Davenporte’s Trunk Show look for a moment. How adorable are they? From the perfect accessories to their half swept back hair! Again, just a touch of natural makeup. They grow up so fast! This was around the time they were getting serious about their future in fashion, and we can see it!
Classy
Super Fashiony
Come on, we told you! 2005 was the year that the Olsen twins really stepped up their game. You can even see it in their darker eye makeup. They’re done with strictly coordinated outfits. Fine, they both had up-dos but that’s it. Ashley is classy in black, while Mary-Kate did a strapless baby blue with layered gold necklaces.
Super Fashiony
Definition of Sophistication
The Olsen twins wanted everyone to know at this point they were grown-ups. Wow, both women looked stunning in their dresses. From Ashley’s velour pink and silver dress with a leather jacket to Mary Kate’s gorgeous black and silver layered, sheer look. I mean the detail in that gown! Look at the collar…unreal!
Definition Of Sophistication
Red Lipstick Dreams
The year is 2006 and the Olsen twins show up with bold red lipstick. Somehow, it goes flawlessly with both of their looks. Mary-Kate wore a fluffy white back and a sleeve of sparkles with her lace gown. Ashley opted for the pattern look and a simple black clutch. 2006, the year the twins became fashion designers.
Red Lipstick Dreams
Switch Up
Now, even Ashley decided to change up her hair! Hey, we love both of these loose dresses. From the yellow to the light green, they’re simple but fun and suit each twin.
Switch Up
A Hit
Black and white…hair up, hair down…silver bracelet, silver sings. Okay yes, it looks like the Olsen twins planned this one a bit, but we don’t mind at all! They look fabulous and again, that heavier eye makeup looks stunning!
A Hit
Serious Goals
So then came the 2007 Met Gala where Mary-Kate Olsen came in that black Giambattista Valli gown. Ashley had her own plunging neckline in the white with a think black belt to go with it. Trendsetters for sure.
Serious Goals
Back to Blonde
Now, the Olsen twins were both blondes again as they attended the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. With heavy coats and slim pants/jeans, they crossed their legs and posed, waiting to see what new trends would hit the runway that year.
Back To Blonde
Chic Head to Toe
Okay, let’s relive this look one more time. I mean there is no better proof than this that these women were so done with the ’90s and past the early 2000s. They glammed up and were ready to take on the fashion world!
Chic Head To Toe
They’re Also Authors – No Surprise There
In 2008, the Olsen twins released their book Influence. From the amazing photographs to in-depth interviews, it was an incredible look into the fashion world. Fans loved it!
They’re Also Authors No Surprise There
Boss Ladies
There’s no way we’re going to continue without taking another look at the twins with their book. To think that these two made such success and such an impact is truly remarkable.
Boss Ladies
Classic Pumps
When Mary-Kate Olsen had an interview on the David Letterman show in 2008, she sported these beautiful Christian Louboutin heels. They did quite something for her look that made her both classy and herself.
Classic Pumps
Leather Jacket
Some might not agree with this, but it seems the Olsens are able to pull off the leather jacket look in any situation… even if it means that it’s on top of a ball gown. Every reporter present at the 2008 Art of Elysium 10th anniversary gala had something to say.
Leather Jacket
Floral Maxi
Once again Mary-Kate had something unique that she managed to pull off with finesse. Her straight-up Bohemian look took on a floral maxi accompanied by a fringe cut, and everyone at the Palm Resort in Dubai back in 2008 was impressed.
Floral Maxi
Dem Curls
In 2009, the Olsens showed girls across the world that curly hair was anything but bland. It didn’t take long for girls worldwide to follow their look and try it out themselves.
Dem Curls
2009 Met Gala
If you didn’t know what Jacquard was, then after the 2009 Met Gala, you sure did. Mary-Kate, in particular, did an amazing job with her off-shoulder gown. They definitely had some very proud chaperones.
2009 Met Gala
Hangover
The Hangover had to have been one of the funniest movies of all time. No-one wanted to miss the premiere of this film, and Ashley Olsen was not going to be left out. Her black silk dress with close-to-invisible spaghetti straps did everything right for her.
Hangover
Bit Dark
In contrast to their regular style, the Olsen twins took quite a turn with this dark look. Buuut, as usual, they did it so well and no-one was going to say otherwise.
Bit Dark
Bold
Self confidence was at an all-time high at the 2008 Met Gala. The Olsen girls had outfits that made them truly stand out – leg slits and cutouts truly turned some heads.
Bold
Emo Chic
They weren’t emo per se, but slaying the whole black look with touches of color made these two really stand out in 2009.
Emo Chic
Blonde
What is it about their blonde hair and these vests? It tells a lot more than just a simple single color would. That’s the magic these two have always had.
Blonde
The Years of 2010
When it came time for the Elle Style Awards back in 2010, the twins had eyes following their outfits all evening long. Ashley’s breathtaking modified Christian Lacroix Spring 2010 gown had a long train accompanied by Fendi heels. Her twin, Mary-Kate went with a black Lanvin ensemble which tastefully joined a black fur shrug.
The Years Of 2010
Bag Lady
Who’s the queen of bags? That’s right, it’s Mary-Kate Olsen. She’s got the right idea of adding a bag to any outfit as the perfect accessory. Here she is sporting her best at the Burberry Spring 2010 show.

Billionaire Lifestyle
What do you think PETA had to say about the twins’ all-fur look? Not much actually, because it wasn’t real fur! You knew that. How elegant is this look?
Billionaire Lifestyle
Sisterly Love
We’ve taken a little jump to 2011, and the location of our time travel is the NYC Fashion Week. The sisters were looking as fashionable as ever at the Lincoln Center where they attended the J.Mendel Spring Fashion Show.
Sisterly Love
Dotty
There is absolutely nothing faulty with their outfits at the 2011 screening of Midnight in Paris. Polka dots? Red heels? All we can say is, “yes”.
Dotty
A Slit
We can all agree that not everybody would have been able to pull off this unique look. At the Met Gala in 2011, Ashley Olsen had a little slit on her black dress with the avant-garde sleeves.
A Slit
Be Jealous
It seems the Olsen twins just couldn’t say goodbye to the “all-black”, but hey, they sure know how to make it work for themselves. Their blonde hair and pale skin just make this whole look work so well!
Be Jealous
That Glow
Despite the general fashion sense not to match all your accessories with your outfit, the Olsen twins went ahead and did it anyway. Look at what the result was… exactly!
That Glow
Strike A Pose
Oh my, posing is second nature to the Olsen twins. They have a way of making it seem so effortless, and we love it! Did I not mention the messy bun yet? O… M… G…
Strike A Pose
Opera Ready
The Opera is no place to go to without looking like you’re worth the production. Mary-Kate and Ashley did it just right.
Opera Ready
Statement Makers
Like night and day, only these two are both bright as shining stars. Altogether, the statement earrings, statements bracelets, and statement rings just fell right into place for the Olsen twins.
Statement Makers
Trend Setters
Listen, it might not be easy to see through sunglasses while you’re indoors, but you sure do look stylish. At least that was the case for the Olsens.
Trend Setters
27 And Fierce
At the age of 27, they Olsen twins seem to have gotten more impressive. As they hit the peak of their mid-twenties, they were still making heads turn by their glorious fashion choices.
27 And Fierce
Darker Colors
Although we’ve never had the chance of actually attending the CFDA Fashion Awards, the word on the street is that it’s something out of this world! Well, the Olsen women didn’t come unprepared.
Darker Colors
28 Lovin’
Turning 28 in 2014 was one of the best things that could have happened to the twins. As Hollywood stars, published authors and wealthy women, they weren’t just basic fashion icons.
28 Lovin’
Bend It Like Beckham
Who was more starstruck than the other at the 2014 Met Gala? Well, it doesn’t really matter because what does matter is this epic photograph of the Beckhams and the Olsens together.
Bend It Like Beckham
Adventurous Colors
“What are they wearing,” I ask in a truly perplexed tone. Ashley walked through with a vintage Christian Dior Haute Couture gown and Monolo Blahnik heels. Did I mention the Sidney Garber earrings? Her sister, Mary-Kate went for a vintage Chanel Haute Couture gown, a pair of Louis Vuitton shoes, a classy vintage Balmain jacket, Sidney Garber earrings, and her very own jewelry.
Adventurous Colors
2015 Met Ball
The twins’ first public appearance since the announcement of Fuller House‘s arrival to Netflix was at the 2015 Met Ball. Both twins had worn vintage Dior by John Galliano.

Trendy as Ever
When Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen launched their own eyewear collection as part of The Row and Oliver Peoples, they didn’t show up without looking the part.
Trendy as Ever

We can’t get over these stunning hairstyles or the outfits! Chic yet elegant…we absolutely love it! So Met Gala ready!

The Chateau Marmont in LA wasn’t ready for these two…and neither was InStyle! They absolutely made everyone envious at the Elizabeth and James Flagship Store Opening Celebration…just look at those outfits! Stunning.

Sister, Sister
Mary-Kate and Ashley have a younger sister named Elizabeth. Not only is she a Marvel star on the big screen, but her fashion sense is up there with her sisters! It looks like they gave their little sis some good tips.
