While I realize that there are about a thousand beautiful dresses and outfits that I could post from the "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, I decided that I am just going to highlight the Olsen twins from this event, seeing as though they dazzled in their respective looks. Think of this entry as more of an "inspired by..." entry, instead of duplicating their exact look, because I think that the girls' choices are as inspirational as they are interesting. While both MK&A chose custom made gowns by Diane Von Furstenberg for the event, we can take cues from Ashley's choice of cutouts and MK's choice of iridescent gold. Check out O.Y.E. Swimwear's Cut Out Monokini Bikini in Black, which also comes in Gold if you're feeling more MK-ish instead of Ash-is, and you want to imitate Ashley's peek-a-boo look by the pool this Spring. If you're diggin' MK's dazzling gold frock, check out Ziji's more casual, silky number, the Tea Party Dress in Gold. Accessory wise, the girls kept it pretty minimal, as MK opted for metallic gold Loubous and gold drop earrings (like Jewel by Bear's Drop Earrings in Gold), while Ashley solely chose a simple clutch (check out Posse New York's Natalie Clutch in Chocolate). While The Mirror thought that MK looked positively gaunt next to "healthier" Ashley, saying, "the contrast between the 21-year-old identical twins was stark. Recovering anorexic Mary-Kate seems to have aged dramatically with worry lines on her face and brittle unkempt hair while Ashley is as gorgeous as ever. No wonder the girls, who seem to have everything, appear so sad." Pretty harsh, and pretty untrue if you ask me. What do you think- who rocked their look better, Ashley or Mary-Kate?

Ashley always looks better.guest on May 07 2008 @ 04:24 PM
Love love love Ashley's dress but she needed to do more with her hair and makeup. Mary-Kate however, grandma/monkey-esk, I don't like the hair either. The dress and heels are cute though.guest on May 07 2008 @ 04:25 PM

Mary-kate - nice dress, as was ashley's. However, ashley's hair and makeup wasn't that nice, although it was fan-bloody-tastic compared to Mary-kate's!!!guest on May 08 2008 @ 09:57 AM
I'm gonna be brutally honest here. what the hell were they thinking? I adore them both but this is a fashion event and ashely's dress looks like a trashy prom dress and her hair is unforgivable. didn't mk wear something similar to another event except it had some color in it?? I swear she did! HOT MESSSSSS...both of them. Love THEM. Hate their get up!guest on May 08 2008 @ 11:51 AM

mary-kate looks as though she could be ashleys mom in the pic(maybe even grandma)!guest on May 10 2008 @ 12:08 AM
is Ashley taller than MK is it the shoes?guest on May 10 2008 @ 06:33 PM
6:33 I think it's actually the angle of the picture which, btw, would've done MK a favor if it would've hidden her like behind Ashley or something, poor girl...bad hair day I guess :sguest on May 11 2008 @ 07:54 PM
they both look good but people need to realize that meany people get depressed and dont care about how they look. has'nt every one had a bad hair day once in a while. just because of mary-kate's eating disorder she doesnt look older then ashley.guest on May 11 2008 @ 07:59 PM
