Ashley Olsen

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen sat side by side earlier today at J. Mendel's show during New York Fashion Week. The designing duo are winding down a hectic few days that included supporting their Olsenboye collection at JCPenny's FNO bash and debuting their latest designs from The Row. Also in attendance at today's event was new mom Selma Blair, whom Ashley greeted with a big hug. While MKO and Ashley are busy with Fashion Week, their younger sister, Elizabeth, made her own style statement at the Toronto Film Festival. Elizabeth, the star of the independent film Martha Marcy May Marlene, wowed at her red-carpet premiere in a floral Erdem gown. However, for Elizabeth's October GQ spread, she wore just a lace bra and silk pajamas.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen looked chic in black blazers as they walked the pink carpet at JCPenney in NYC early this evening. The mass retailer's Fashion's Night Out event, cohosted by People StyleWatch, is one of dozens happening in the Big Apple and across the United States tonight as Fashion Week kicks into full gear. The designers took a brief break to swing by the party, as they prep for their line The Row to show tomorrow. The sisters' high-end collection is just one of several stylish endeavors they're pursuing. In addition to recently launching Stylemint and a collaboration with TOMS, their contemporary collections Elizabeth + James and TEXTILE: Elizabeth + James continue to be successful. Ashley and Mary-Kate aren't the only celebrities-turned-designers who will be presenting their latest creations during Fashion Week — Victoria Beckham is also on the East Coast with baby Harper, as she gets ready to unveil her latest self-titled collection. Be sure to stay tuned to PopSugar, FabSugar and Fashionologie for the latest dispatches on all the runway shows, street style, and parties!

Tomorrow, June 13th, marks the day two fashionistas — Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen — entered this world 25 years ago. And we're glad they did! We can't imagine life without their distinctive, covetable style. While Mary-Kate stays true to her bohemian-chic style roots — rocking oversize printed dresses, tons of jewelry, and John Lennon-style sunnies — Ashley makes the most of her minimalist polish; nobody can kill a white button-down or Calvin Klein sheath dress like her. They're entrepreneurs, respected designers, and true style stars; and on Monday they turn a mere 25. They've accomplished so much already, it's hard to believe they're only four years beyond the legal drinking age. Let's all wish our favorite twins a happy 25th by checking out their most interesting and innovative outfits through the years.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen joined Diane von Furstenberg yesterday for the CFDA's biannual membership meeting held at DvF's studios. The girls are longtime members of the designer organization, though they were nominated for their first award from the CFDA just a few months ago. Mary-Kate and Ashley are in the Big Apple focusing on their fashion endeavors while their little sister, Elizabeth Olsen, appeared at the Cannes Film Festival. Lizzy showed support for her siblings by sporting two outfits from The Row to press appearances on behalf of her film Martha Marcy May Marlene. Her gown and flat sandals combo is already starting trends while other Olsen fans are wanting to try Lizzy's unique hairstyles.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen continued their streak of bold and beautiful red carpet arrivals at the Tribeca Film Festival's opening soiree last night. They were joined by Twilight's Anna Kendrick, who has been appointed to the judging panel at this year's competition. Many stars are expected in the Big Apple in the upcoming week to debut their films and other work. First up, Ryan Phillippe and Malin Akerman will showcase the Bang Bang Club tonight followed by Orlando Bloom's The Good Doctor tomorrow. Rachel Bilson left LA earlier this week with her on-again boyfriend Hayden Christensen as she gears up to showcase the Karl Lagerfeld-directed ice cream commercial we saw them filming in Paris last month. We'll be reporting from the events, so be sure to follow PopSugar on Twitter and Facebook to keep up with all the latest news and photos from the festival.
