Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen’s menopausal styles at the Met: hideous or typical?

fp_7036991_olsen_twins_nyc_02_10

Part of the reason I liked Olivia Munn’s dress for the premiere of the latest opera at the Met was that I was looking at all of the photos from the event, and Olivia was clearly one of the better-dressed ladies. Case in point: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were also there. I mean… Jesus. They are 23 years old! And they look 50-something. Menopausal styling, menopausal fashion, menopausal faces. When they’re not freaking us out over their creepy twin-brain, they’re freaking us out with their creepy fashion – and you know they’re styling themselves. No stylist would sign off on these looks.

Even if their dresses didn’t look like MK and Ashley jacked the crap from a seniors’ center, there’s also the sketchy fabric choices. Look at how cheap this stuff looks! I hope to God it’s vintage, because if they’re wearing their own designs, or something current, they should be ashamed.

    doubly fugly

  2. Kaye1 says:

    They look completely insane.

  3. annie says:

    Typically hideous as usual

  4. Arianna says:

    hideous AND typical

    wtf is with red eyeshadow and lining your eyes on the inner lid so they look freakishly little??

    looks like “high” fashion to me

  5. Quest says:

    Their look is too frumpy. It is never good when OM looked better.

  6. Embee says:

    ugh. Ashley’s gotten chicken cutlet cheeks. She’s morphing into Madge.

  7. Louise says:

    Holy Crap – can no one in Hollywood afford shoes that fit? Her feet must be killing her!

  8. Roxy75 says:

    who do they think they are?

  9. sapphire says:

    These are DESIGNERS? Who’d want to look like these bubehs in the rag bag? Neither of them has dressed well at any event I’ve seen. Not edgy or trendy or fierce-just ugh!

  10. lucy2 says:

    Yuck. They looked cute and young in that other photoshoot earlier this week, but this looks terrible. Why on earth would anyone use that reddish eyeliner???

  11. Roma says:

    Red eyeliner never photographs well but can look super cute on.

    Of course I wear red eyeliner to rock-band-athon with my friends, not the opening of the Met.

  12. Sigh. says:

    O_o

  13. serena says:

    I don’t really understand them.
    They are so pretty, have plenty of money… and dress up at events like 50 years olds or something, with hideous make up.

  14. Isabel says:

    1 – They look like they’re bleeding from the eyes

    2 – Whichever one is on the right is definitely wearing vintage Bea Arthur.

  15. Eve says:

    They’re f*cking hideous.

  16. KCT says:

    Typically eccentric. They have enough money to be whatever they want and this is what they choose. I’m happy for them as long as they are healthy and living well.

  17. Pow! says:

    Oh my. They frighten me. The one on the right looks like she’s trying to steal my soul & the one on the left’s eyes are trying to tell me to run.

  18. YAY says:

    My mother looked at a picture of me recently and said – ‘wow! you look like an Olsen twin’ I was so insulted! 🙁

    But that’s better than the one time my patners mother looked at me from across the table and said – ‘hey, you look like Courtney Love!’ – I almost died.

  19. Kaye says:

    The twin on the right is obviously hoping to be cast in the latest reboot of “Night of the Walking Dead.”

  20. Jane says:

    They are too old to be dressing up in grandma’s clothes. Seriously, they have money coming out of their ears, why don’t they hire a stylist, a makeup artist and a hairdresser. When they are not dressing like an ancestor, they wear baggy clothes 10 times too large. They look like they are raiding some else’s closet and playing dress up all the time.

  21. Days after Christmas says:

    I have to say Ashley looks leagues better in the black and green. Her eye make up is beyond vampiric though, so utterly tragic. MK is clearly rocking vintage Salvation Army though, not to mention horrid plastic surgery, make up and hair.

    Fashion felonies!

  22. Jackson says:

    Hideously typical.
    Typically hideous.
    Take your pick.

  23. brin says:

    I can’t believe they’re fashion designers. They should be in the fashion “don’t” column of Glamour with the black bar across their faces.

  24. Maddie says:

    Sorry but I like their look a twist on a classic style.

    I would rather see this than butts hanging out and boobs battling to free themselves from captive tops.

    I also like this better than tacky fake wanna be shockfest GaGa

  25. Racheal says:

    That’s what happens when those around you don’t voice the truth about your fashion choices. Tragic.

    Justin Bartha probably tried to say, “That’s ugly” and he was bounced for his thankless effort.

  26. Tuatara says:

    Only 23? Really? Seems like they have been around for forever and day.

  27. bunkins says:

    styled by dorothy from golden girls

  28. Merry says:

    @Embee
    I thought that too! Seriously, is it different hair&makeup-styling, surgery or what?! It’s freaking me out, they used to be undistinguishable and now they look totally different from each other!

  29. oh please says:

    @ Maddie, i was thinking the same thing! modesty is ridiculed and that’s a sad thing.

  30. Ally says:

    Holy cow….look at the bitch face! Mary Kate on the right??

  31. Mikki says:

    Well, there’s modesty…and then there’s dressing like you raided Granny’s closet! I agree it’s better than seeing all of their lady bits ala Lady Gaga, but it could be more age appropriate IMO. I fear that pictures of them 30 years from now will look exactly the same. And I know they’re twins, but the facing together pose is getting a little tiresome!

  32. junk573r says:

    When these two dress for an event, I always think they look like two children who got into their mother’s closet and makeup. Especially since the good majority of the clothing is too big.

  33. kiko says:

    red eyeliner is really fun but for the upper lid only!!!why can’t they just be normal?

  34. mia girl says:

    I think they dress the way their souls feel… old, conflicted, muddled, dark, confined, painful, sullen and lost.

    I don’t know why, but I’m sad for them.

  35. fabgrrl says:

    It’s not about modesty – I also appreciate it when women dress like ladies, and not tramps. But it IS strange to see young, tiny women who ALWAYS wear heavy, shapeless, dreary clothes. These girls are overwhelmed by what they wear. I kind of wonder if they are (still) suffering from eating disorders, and feel the need to cover up because they are cold and/or hate their bodies.

  36. nikki says:

    I love them and their eccentricity. At least they aren’t dressing like this solely to get attention and be seen as crazy *cough*gaga*cough*

  37. jdao says:

    Too old.

  38. mmf says:

    CHILDREN OF THE CORN?

  39. anti says:

    for better or worse, at least it’s something different.

  40. DogBoy says:

    I saw these facial expressions before, a couple seconds before I ran over a pair of raccoons in the road.

  41. Jackson says:

    @fabgrrl – I agree. One of them (?) always wears baggy clothing. And not baggy in a good, relaxed, effortless sort of way. She dresses like someone with a body image problem who hides under layers and layers of clothing. And they almost always look sad.

  42. Novaraen says:

    Doesn’t anyone care that their eyes are bleeding?!?!?!

    Someone help them quick!!!

    Bwahahaha…

    on a serious note…I like the green fake fur chest wrap she has on….or whatever it is. :))

  43. Gia says:

    Cah-ree-py!

  44. Azurea says:

    Dressing like 50-yr-olds? C’mon! I’m 50 & I would never! Geez.

    They have their own unique style:
    Cadaver Chic.

  45. Mrs.Krabapple says:

    I never understood their popularity. When they were 20 they looked 50. They don’t knnow how to dress or style themselves, or how to use makeup well. Yet, they make money selling clothing? I guess they leave ALL the designing to other people.

  46. Stephy2585 says:

    Clothing aside…how weird is it that they always stand almost face to face, side-by-side at EVERY photo-op?
    why couldn’t they be photographed apart?

  47. silken_floss says:

    Red eyeliner is never a good choice.

  48. MSMLNP says:

    While I am neutral about their fashion line, I absolutely despise them for starting the duckface.

  49. escapee says:

    The purses are really cute.

  50. original kate says:

    i like that they look different, and i appreciate their love of the vintage. the red eyeliner, however, is scaring me.

  51. Str8Shooter says:

    Yikes! Never ceases to amaze me how two young women can resemble old-lady ghouls.

    Seriously. Get some fucking SUN!

  52. j says:

    They are unique, and I can appreciate that.

    And they have a ridiculous collection of vintage, which I am sure is their “thing”, and I respect that too.

    I actually LOVE Ashley’s look, she is such a lady.

  53. TXCinderella says:

    And to think they have their own clothing line. Lord, they look like death warmed over. Scary & corpsy.

  54. LadyBert62 says:

    These two give me the creeps – they dress like they are 123 instead of 23 – do they ever smile? Do they ever appear alone? Why would you want to look like your eyes are bleeding – is that a fashion statment or a cry for help?

  55. Stacia says:

    The one on the right has a perpetual bitch face look in all the pics.

  56. locamochagirl says:

    The one on the right is scary.

  57. Anti-icon says:

    These twins…I’ve never had a problem with them….their fashions are kinda cute. But ladies. Please. Why do they always have to be photographed together? It’s as if they are not separate people, with separate interests and lives. That’s what bugs me about them.

    If they are now multi-millionaire business mogels, they still need to have — at least vague — personalities. I sense none.

  58. bagladey says:

    I love those purses but otherwise these two don’t look fashionable at all, high-fashion or low-fashion, no fashion; they look more clownish, like two ugly girls dressed up in their sophisticated granny’s clothes.

  59. TeeTee says:

    I’m convinced that alot of money makes you crazy!!!

    lay off of the eyeliner, they look like corpses that woke up for an event.
    straight out of the coffin.

    spooky

  60. jemshoes says:

    Off-beat and eccentric: typically Olsen Twins.

  61. rosanity says:

    come and play with us, Danny.

  62. poppy says:

    the hills have eyes. red eyeliner eyes.
    spot on rosanity… they should be cast in the new shining trilogy that will eventually be made.

  63. demaderas says:

    How on earth is it possible that a constitutional amendment has not been passed to prohibit this pair from appearing in public anytime, anywhere?

  64. jae says:

    mk really fucked up her face

  65. mdf says:

    Maybe they’re both old souls, but wth is with the bleeding ebola virus-looking rings around the eyes. It looks stupid.

  66. Lynda says:

    are they always joined together that way? If so, i know that chang and ang, the orignal cojoined twinns, had like 20 kids between them, so there is hope, but, they gotta find brothers to marry, so the pool is small. Generally, it’s yikes=ville for them both.

  67. Eve says:

    come and play with us, Danny.

    @ Rosanity:

    Holy shit! That’s exactly what they look like, creepy twins from a horror movie (although, to be fair, the girls in The Shining were a lot less creepy).

  68. Heatherrr says:

    Horror movies!!! Why didnt I see that before???!!! They want to be movies stars like their sister – THERE IS THEIR GENRE!!! Right???!!

    hahahahaha “ghouls” – this thread is awesome

  69. april says:

    i think they are 24. and wtf is that green thing ashley is wearing, it looks like a carpet,can she move her arms? if she lost that then it would look nice. Mk looks crazy with the makeup, and her outfit is bad too.

  70. Manthion says:

    They’re BILLIONAIRES…they can dress how they want.

    Actually, people can dress how they want anyway as it’s everyone’s personal choice. Who is anyone to judge?

    These girls own private jetS and go anywhere in the world they want to on a whim. Do you think they give a fat rat’s ass about what anyone thinks of their attire?

  71. GT says:

    wow, I would have never guess they were 23. They need to ditch that red rimmed eye liner and lighten up!! They have the rest of their lives to dress dowdy!

  72. Minx2 says:

    Good Lord.. I love excentric, I love unusual.. but this is just creepy and WEIRD. They look disturbed, always posing in the same manner, like conjoined twins, same vacant expression, no life in them, no youth, no feeling. At 85 they’ll look exactly the same.

  73. Kate says:

    I don’t know which one is which but they don’t even look like twins anymore. The one on the right looks like she got surgery to look older. What the fuck happened to her?!

  74. truetalk says:

    i think they were hoping to win worst dressed; they won

  75. Dani says:

    I have always had the feeling that the way they dress is for spite. You know, to distance themselves from their early years and fame. Kinda like when a Disney kid goes off the deep end. I wish they would just embrace what made them filthy rich. They just seem like “rebels without a cause.” We get that you two are edgy, now how about a little normalcy.

  76. jelynn says:

    Yeah they’re 24. And completely ridiculous.

  77. Kasey says:

    I too was baffled by their many psychotic-looking appearances. But I have a theory…maybe they intentionally do this so that people would 1-be shocked/appalled, 2-talk a lot about them, 3- be so disappointed/puzzled/curious that it motivates themselves or others to check out their fashion designs to see what people who dress like this would produce that could ACTUALLY make money, 4-be impressed by (what I hear is) their fashionable clothing line that they purchase their clothing. I mean 1-2 worked on me, I was too disgusted to make it to 3, but who knows? I’m not the average Joe. I heard these chicks were smart and that they were making money maybe this is part of their marketing strategy. Anyone think I may be on to something here?

  78. JenJen says:

    That 3rd pic is horrifying. Now they both look like they snort.

  79. Just Me says:

    Trust me, that look is not menopausal!

    Menopause means wearing ‘hot flash’ appropriate clothing . . .
    short sleeves with a sweater, jacket or coat at the ready.

    The look they are sporting is more akin to 90 year old grandmas bundled up in 80 degree weather hoping to avoid a draft!

  80. laura says:

    mk and ashley are 24. they are about to be 25 and the outfits they are wearing are rediculous. i think they need to dress their own age.

  81. Vicki. says:

    The one on the right is doing a great lee anne rhimes impression.

  82. JFs61 says:

    Don’t why anybody would be surprised by this – They were ugly as kids, so why shouldn’t they be ugly as grown women.

  83. Newbie says:

    I don’t mind them. They wear…interesting outfits, but they’re moguls in their own right, so I think they’ve earned the right to be weird at this point.

  84. Hakura says:

    I just don’t understand how these two can be the designers & owners of a multi-million dollar brand (especially one in FASHION)… & yet still go out looking like they do. It just looks like they go to vintage stores, dig these things out of the bins, then just wear them ‘as is; without having the already God-awful pieces altered to fit them. They have so much potential, too!

    I gotta say… I love Bea Arthur (may she rest in peace), but the outfit on the right (Not sure which twin) reminds me so much of the hideous outfits ‘Dorothy’ wore on the Golden Girls back during the 80’s.

  85. Truthzbetta says:

    This post cracked me up. I have no understanding about the freaky, starving alien twins. Their existence is confusing to me. They’re lazy adults because they were hard working self-made billionaire babies or something?

    And they’re fraternal twins (no more shared DNA than regular siblings) but identical too, right? Like a 50’s show where identical cousins (WTF that is) are played by one bipolar, abused actress who ends up mothering a hobbit. Only it’s real life.

    Their actual lives could not get green lighted as a preposterous D List made for SyFy channel original drama because they are the oddest combo of unbelievable yet boring.

    But funny ass post. The fact they’re considered fashionistas is also just another bit of the inexplicable that is La Vie des Olsens.

  86. Bailey says:

    I can give them credit for keeping the old lady look going. aren’t they 23 or something?

  87. Phoenix says:

    I like Ashley’s dress but not the shoes and MK’s outfit is just… MK. So many designers wear absolutely fug outfits and these two are taken seriously in the fashion world. I feel like they get really slated unfairly for what they wear.

  88. Hakura says:

    @TruthzBetta“And they’re fraternal twins (no more shared DNA than regular siblings) but identical too, right?”

    I believe I read somewhere that they’re Fraternal (not identical), like you said. =) They don’t have “identical DNA”, but they do *really* look alike. (I find that so odd, when it was ‘2 separate eggs’ that resulted in their being twins, as opposed to 1 egg that split in half.) The people who know them well (personally) can probably see their slight physical differences much easier than we can.

    They keep hiding themselves in these circus tents of outfits…

  89. Deven says:

    Born weird. They look like the ghosts of two elderly Victorian sisters who never married, and who lived together in strangely dressed harmony until they were found dead, on the same day, at age 102!

  90. Confuzzle says:

    In the immortal words of Grandpa Simpson “Death! DEAAAAATH!”

    😆 they’re doing this for lolz, right? Or a remake of Grey Gardens?

  91. Luna says:

    Mary-Kate looks like she’s wearing a napkin ring.

  92. Hebby says:

    More like 70 maybe 80 yrs old rather than 50. The one on the right’s outfit seems worse but they’re both bad. They’re always such freaks. And why are they still famous anyway?? When was the last time they acted in anything? Is this how they keep in the spotlight and make news? And can’t they ever smile? These are the questions that plague me.

  93. NOME says:

    They both look constipated,wannabegoths and have no personality whatsoever.Never could act,just filthy rich good for them though.Money can’t by a personality,only foolish expressions.They,look so unhappy now never smile,look like stuckup,evil witches from a gothic horror flick.Somebody,please give them a smile and personality to go with this old style.

  94. khaveman says:

    The OLDsens.

  95. Magsy says:

    The fugly, gothic, starved, witchie poo, Addams Family, freaky look ain’t cute anymore. They’re too old for that shit. They can’t seem to break away from each other and lead separate lives. I’ll bet their childhood has some dark stories.

  96. Eluxuryin says:

    In 1896, the aggregation launched the signature Cipher Canvas and fabricated the common patents on it.

  97. Eluxuryin says:

    In March of the afterward year, they advised and alien the company’s aboriginal “prêt-à-porter” band of accouterment for men and women.
