In the '90s, Full House was a super popular TV show. Michelle Tanner's clothes in the show really influenced how girls dressed back then. Some of the outfits on the show were made by famous designers like Marc Jacobs.
The clothes they wore were really famous, and the show makers caring so much about fashion would be important for the Olsen twins later in their lives.
7. Diversifying Their Ventures
"Do you remember when Mary-Kate and Ashley sang this cute song: 'Brother for sale, Only fifty cents, Brother for sale, He's not a big expense'?
It was the first thing they did after Full House. Even though they weren't really singers, lots of kids loved their album. This album helped them find new fans."
8. Putting in Extra Hours
Back then, the Olsen twins were among the busiest young stars in Hollywood. While they were shooting Full House, they were also busy making movies like To Grandmother's House We Go, Double Double Toil and Trouble, and How The West Was Fun.
Their dad became their manager, and he made sure they worked really hard because they were so popular.

Their movies did really well, and because of that, they started their own company called Dualstar Productions.

After Full House finished its last season, Mary-Kate and Ashley had the chance to work more on their production company and focus on bigger projects.
They began making a lot of movies that went straight to VHS, like Billboard Dad and Passport to Paris. They also released their first big movie, It Takes Two, during this time.

They sold shoes, bags, CDs, makeup, games, dolls, and lots of other things that girls their age liked. Basically, anything meant for young girls had Mary-Kate and Ashley's names on it.
15. TV Letdown Twice
Even though they did well in most things they tried, they had a couple of failures. Because they were really popular with teenagers, they made two TV shows.
One was a regular TV show called "So Little Time," and the other was a cartoon called "Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action." Sadly, both shows only had one season, but teenagers still enjoyed watching them.
16. The Last Movie
In 2004, it was a sad year for Mary-Kate and Ashley fans because it was the last time they made a movie together.
17. Entering a Different Career Path
After becoming famous for their fashion sense in the '90s and having a successful clothing line in 2000, the Olsen twins chose to make fashion a big part of their lives.
They often attended fashion shows and sat in the front row, looking stylish. Mary-Kate also popularized a fashion style that some people call the "homeless bohemian" look, which included big sunglasses, boots, loose sweaters, and flowery skirts.
18. Independence Side by Side
Once they stopped acting, the Olsen twins had the freedom to change their appearances. They were growing as individuals but still working together.

19. Dealing with Criticism
Being in the public eye wasn't always easy, especially as Mary-Kate and Ashley became more involved in the fashion world.

20. Let's Celebrate in Style!
After receiving criticism about their bodies, Mary-Kate and Ashley began partying heavily. It got worse when a reality star named Spencer Pratt sold a bad picture of Mary-Kate partying to the newspapers.
This made the Olsen twins feel like their friends had betrayed them. Because of this, they started avoiding public attention even more than they did before.
21. Reigning Supreme on Forbes
By the time they were 10 years old, Mary-Kate and Ashley had already become millionaires thanks to their successful projects. So, their decision to focus on fashion was a smart one.
22. Shocking Loss Shakes Mary-Kate
In 2008, there was a very sad event in Hollywood. A famous actor named Heath Ledger passed away, and it was a big shock for everyone.
23. A Distinctive Fashion Sense
As the Olsen twins became known for their fashion design, they also developed a special way of dressing.
They embraced the boho-chic style, which suited their spiritual beliefs. In a rare interview, Mary-Kate and Ashley revealed that they use crystals, burn sage, and believe in negative auras.
24. Crafting a Unique Shopping Adventure
The Olsen twins' high-end fashion brand, The Row, aimed to offer customers a special shopping experience. It all started with their quest to create the perfect t-shirt and expanded from there.
What made The Row unique was that their stores had dressing rooms with robes and caviar, making the whole shopping process more appealing than buying online.
25. Failing to Keep Commitments
After the release of "New York Minute," the Olsen twins said they wouldn't act anymore. However, in 2011,
26. Don't Overlook Elizabeth
Mary-Kate and Ashley have been famous since they were very young, and they decided it was time to let someone else shine. Their younger sister,
Elizabeth Olsen, became a popular actress after the twins stopped acting in 2004. You might know her from the Marvel movies because she played the character Scarlett Witch.

Mary-Kate and Ashley are known for their fashionable looks, and they've mentioned that they get fashion ideas from other famous people.
In an interview, they said who they look up to for style, and it might surprise you. Mary-Kate mentioned that she takes fashion inspiration from Gigi Hadid, while Ashley confessed that her current style role model is Amber Heard.
28. Ashley's Fashion Focus
Lately, Ashley Olsen has been concentrating on her fashion business. She's been working hard on her career, while her sister is focused on her family.
Ashley's past dating choices have raised some questions because her previous boyfriends were much older than her. Her most recent boyfriend was an art dealer who was 28 years older than her.
29. A Look at Ashley's Romantic Past
As we mentioned earlier, Ashley Olsen has had an interesting dating life. She likes to go out with older guys, and this has made news in the gossip magazines.
Ashley and one of her ex-boyfriends, Richard Sachs, met in 2016 at a basketball game between the Mavericks and the Knicks. They broke up because Ashley wanted to concentrate more on her career.
30. Mary-Kate Ties the Knot
While Ashley is busy with her career, Mary-Kate is giving her attention to her husband. She got married to Olivier Sarkozy in November 2015, and their wedding was quite special.
Mary-Kate wanted to keep the ceremony and celebration very private, so she asked everyone to leave their cellphones outside before coming in.
31. Public Display of Affection Blunder
The Olsen twins don't share much about their personal lives, but occasionally, we get a peek.
Here's a glimpse into Mary-Kate's relationship with her husband, Olivier Sarkozy. They were photographed at a Mavericks versus Knicks game, and Olivier tried to give her a kiss. Mary-Kate doesn't seem very happy about the public display of affection.
32. The 'Twin' Trend: A 1993 Relic
Many fans would be happy if the Olsen twins acted again, but it would be tough for them to find roles nowadays. The trend of having twins in movies and TV shows was popular in the '90s and early 2000s, but it's not as common now.
They became famous for acting together, so it would be tricky for them to be in separate roles. However, it's doubtful they would even want to come back to acting at this point.
33. From Wholesome to Something More
After spending many years in the public eye, often seen partying, their once-wholesome image lost its appeal. The cute Michelle Tanner we all remember from their younger days had disappeared.
Mary-Kate and Ashley have grown up and moved away from the brand that made them famous. They've developed their own unique style, which doesn't align with what casting agents are currently seeking.
34. Diving Deep into the World of Fashion
Even though you won't see them on red carpets as often, you can usually spot them at fashion events. They're famous for their unique style and fashion businesses, which have earned them numerous awards.
In this picture from the 2016 LACMA Art and Film Gala in Los Angeles, you can notice some differences between the twins. Mary-Kate appeared more serious than usual, and her face looked thinner compared to other pictures.
35. Buzzing with Activity
The Olsen twins stay active by participating in fundraisers and fashion events. They make sure to give back to causes they believe in.
One of these causes is Studio In A School, a nonprofit that encourages young people to explore visual arts. Mary-Kate and Ashley care about education and are happy to help this organization in its mission.
36. Mastering Their Art
In 2018, the Olsen twins were honored by the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) as the Accessory Designers of The Year.
It's a prestigious award, and they were very proud to receive it. For the event, they decided to wear simple outfits so that their award-winning accessories would stand out.
37. Attending Galas, Day in and Day out
Although they've experienced various phases in life, the Olsen twins aren't thinking about slowing down. They regularly attend the most significant fashion event, the Met Gala. However, in 2010, they chose not to go for reasons they didn't share, as they value their privacy.
Additionally, in 2012, Mary-Kate attended the event on her own. Altogether, they have been present at 27 Met Galas.
38. Stepping Back, Letting Their Sister Shine
Unlike her sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley, Elizabeth Olsen has fully embraced the acting career.
She has been in some very popular superhero movies and has received numerous awards for her performances. Her sisters are very supportive of her and have attended many of Elizabeth's movie premieres.
39. Family Matters
The Olsen twins' fashion brand, Elizabeth & James, was named after their siblings, Elizabeth and James Olsen. Elizabeth has been more visible in the public eye,
but James Olsen, their older brother, has stayed out of the spotlight. He appeared in a few of Mary-Kate and Ashley's early movies. The Olsen twins also have a half-brother named Jake.
40. Inspiring People Worldwide
The fashion lines created by the twins are famous globally, and people who love fashion really like Mary-Kate and Ashley's stylish clothing.
Even though they are not as visible in the public eye, their fans have stayed devoted to them. You can discover numerous Instagram and Pinterest accounts dedicated to the twins.
41. Totally Different Now
Do you remember those cute twins from the '90s? Well, now they're like entirely different individuals. They've grown up and chosen to live more privately.
You won't see them on red carpets often, but you can always find them at fashion events. They've stuck with their boho style but updated it to fit some of today's fashion trends.
42. Embracing the Natural Look
It's not common to see the Olsen twins without their hair and makeup done, but there are rare moments when they are photographed looking natural.
Recently, Mary-Kate was seen in New York City running errands with wet hair. She appeared more relaxed than usual but still had her usual sense of fashion.
