Between them, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have made 27 Met Gala appearances—not one of them camp. (Mary-Kate came solo in 2012.) If there were a yearbook for the event, the sisters might be named “Best Met Theme Rejectors.” Just as they are making their own way in the industry, so they have never bent their looks to the occasion, which makes them exemplars of personal style.
When Mary-Kate and Ashley haven’t chosen to wear black or white, they’ve brought major boho vibes to the red carpet. Many of their most memorable moments, though, have involved vintage. In 2017, for example, Mary-Kate layered an openwork gown from the 1910s over black briefs; for wow factor she added a chunky statement-making bib necklace. When the Olsens wear vintage, it feels relevant because their approach isn’t precious or overly reverent. Their choice of edgy black leather to walk the “Camp” pink carpet solidified their reputation as individualists; their playbook is their own, and it’s a winning one.
