Mary-Kate Olsen Photos & Pics Archive

Spotted: America's favorite twins, Ashley and Mary-Kate, promoting their spring collection of Olsenboye - a line of juniors' casual apparel and accessories - on GMA.

How much do the clothes cost? $20 to $50, and it's available at JCPenney. Nice to see they're going the affordable route! Question is, who looks hotter in these pix: Ash or MK?

Yesterday photogs spotted one of the Olsen twins in her natural habitat -- The shoe department of Barney's. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if the staff kept a little cubby stocked with fresh linens, fur blankies and mineral water so they get all the nourishment they need from the upscale department store!

I admit it. I'm extremely handicapped when it comes to id'ing the Olsens. After years of writing about the them, I still get confused as to who is who. Let's look at the evidence: The chunky rings, the granny sweater, the pajama inspired skirt and dress, all imply Mary-Kate. The shoes, those could be Ashley's (and our photogs id'd her as Ash), so I'm asking all you for some definitive help.

Am I right or did the photogs correctly call her Ashley?

Already hugely successful with their luxury line The Row and contemporary Elizabeth & James line, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are finally designing a lower-priced line, Olsenboye (their real name) for J.C. Penney.

Unfortch (for me, anyway) the line is targeted towards juniors, and will be rolled out in 600 stores starting in February, reports WWD. The twins are no strangers to discount chain stores, having previously had a tween collection with Wal-Mart, but they'll join Charlotte Ronson, Bisou Bisou and Allen B. by doing a lower-priced collection for Penney's.

"Mary-Kate and I watch current trends and see our partnership with J.C. Penney as an opportunity to add something unique to the marketplace, especially in the current retail climate,” Ashley told the mag. “Olsenboye is an extension of the Dualstar brand and we feel this collaboration complements and strengthens our business portfolio, delivering trend-based fashion at affordable prices.”

Heck, I don't care if it is for juniors, with sizes for non-Olsen proportioned girls, ranging from 0-15, I'm sure I can find something that fits!

Captain Obvious paid a visit to the Olsen twins recently when they came up with the bright idea to include sunglasses in their immensely popular clothing line, The Row.

WWD reports that the sisters, who started the oversized sunnies trend, will start with four silhouettes, a classic metal aviator, an oversize square frame, vintage-inspired brow-line rims and a pair of round 60s-style shades.

“We’re testing the market first and obviously these are four very different silhouettes, so we’re seeing what people are responding to and we’ll open up a couple more silhouettes for fall,” Ashley told the mag. “We tried to find certain pieces that look good on more than one face, to pay close attention to how they fit certain faces and make them wearable at the same time.”

MK added, “Designing eyewear was definitely more complicated than we thought, and of course we wanted to be extremely hands-on."

The shades will retail for anywhere from $325 to $390.

Wearing her requisite oversized dress and platform boots, MK's added a new look to her wardrobe: Pocahontas chic.

Wearing a native-looking blanket and a beaded bag with a fringed leather jacket, MK channeled the Powhatan princess in the streets of Paris and at the airport with boyfriend Nate.

Too bad Nate's still clinging to his old look - time to retire that "Music Man" straw hat!

It's hilaaaarious to see pix of the 5-feet-tall Olsens craning their necks to talk to international supermodel Natalia Vodianova, who should really take off her heels out of respect for the midgets twins!

Let's just hope Brad from The Rachel Zoe project didn't see them. He'd probably scream at them to get their 15-year-old Full House asses away from his girlfriend or else he'd start a slap fight!

Mary-Kate Olsen brought her Johnny Depp-ish bf Nate Lowman with her to the Giambattista Valli show in Paris today, arriving fashionably late.

Wearing a fringed beige jacket, a crushed velvet and lace long skirt, and of course, a pair of sky-high Giambattista platforms, MK watched the competish walk down the runway.

The pint-sized actress-turned-designer was absent from fellow hyphenate Lindsay's Ungaro show...but somehow we don't think the successful The Row and Elizabeth and James designer has anything to worry about in that department!

Mary-Kate and Ashley joined Victoria Beckham at Bergdorf's last night to support Fashion's Night Out In New York, where instead of hawking their wildly successful lines The Row and Elizabeth and James, they slung drinks for lucky shoppers!

Although we're way more used to the idea of the Olsen's taking drinks rather than give them out, getting served by the dual stars must have been quite surreal.

I just hope their servings weren't quite as miniature as the girls themselves!

Mary-Kate's given up "Derelicte" and gone back to "Granny-Chic," wearing a dress that would look more at home in a retirement community than outside of a hip, Beverly Hills salon!

MK rocked the frock and some Easy Spirit loafers outside of Neil George, where at least her hair was looking young and hip!

Another Olsen ex is being poached, this time by Rihanna!

Gatecrasher reports that the songstress was seen in LA with Mary-Kate's former fling, Travis London. The couple dined at Giorgio Baldi last weekend, and were spotted getting cozy at the Chateau Marmont on Monday.

I guess while Ri's ex Chris Brown is busy letting his mouth get him in trouble, Rihanna's letting a hot piece of arm candy do the talking for her!

While her sister Ashley may have given up acting for fashion, Mary-Kate Olsen is still doing the whole Hollywood thing. We spotted the super-slim starlet outside her agent's office wearing a pair of Lady Gaga inspired shades and holding a can of Diet Coke.

So what is she working on? M-K is reportedly filming a Beauty and the Beast inspired movie called Beastly, along with HSM star Vanessa Hudgens. Can't WAIT to see that!

Everyone's favorite Olsen was shopping at Sielian's on Melrose the other day and got a parking ticket while inside.

Pssh. Those silly cops! Don't they know they're dealing with an Olsen here? The girls have millions! Neither can be bothered with something so small and petty like a parking ticket. Duh!

Before there was V. Hudge, there was M. Kate. No, really!

The two girls are masters at covering up their faces, they both like to rock the no pants look, and they love plaid and fringy things. The only difference between the two starlets? Why, that lies in their acting abilities, of course!

Mary-Kate was snapped in NYC yesterday with her bf, and the duo didn't pull a Leo and Bar, but the tiny twin sure wasn't showing photogs any love!

Okay, so it's not REALLY a bathrobe (it's some sort of fancy shmancy velvet overcoat with a shiny lining), but we're actually digging what Mary-Kate Olsen wore to the Chanel Dinner at the Odeon in NYC last night! Only MK could knock our socks off with an outfit this crazy. Well, her and Lady GaGa!

We've got nothing against the au naturel look, but could it have killed her to get some oil-blotting papers?

Given the skinny little legs and the wacky outfit, I'm going to go ahead and guess this is Mary-Kate...but she did such a good job disguising herself, I can't be sure. Not fair!

Mary-Kate Olsen attended the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival LA Kick-Off Event at the W Hollywood Hotel the other night, and the starlet looked pleased to mingle with her fellow thespians, but what's with this outfit?!

This is MARY-KATE for crying out loud - we expect more from her than a normal, neutral toned ensemble!
