The Met Gala truly wouldn’t be complete without an appearance from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.
In the over ten years since the twins made their debut on the museum’s red carpet, they have gone through a serious fashion transformation. Gone are the teenage girls who wore light tones and mainstream trends, and in their place are fashion-forward adults with years of experience in the fashion world.
Moreover, the former actresses’ have essentially popularized the boho chic look with their glamorous yet understated ensembles on various red carpets, including the Met Gala’s. In becoming fashion icons, women across the world sought to replicate the Olsen twin’s style, which Mary-Kate and Ashley easily recognized. Luckily, they made their style easy to attain by creating various collections for stores and launching their own couture label, The Row.
Over the years, the designers have even sported their looks on the Met Gala red carpet!
