Mary-Kate Olsen Goes Casual: Flipping the Script in Flip-Flops!
SPOILER ALERT: The Olsen Twins' Secret Lives Revealed!
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the infamous twin sisters who rose to fame as pint-sized cuties on the beloved sitcom Full House, have been living their best lives - or so it seems. Behind closed doors, these fashion moguls are actually low-key, laid-back, and love a good flip-flop (yes, you read that right!)!
On Sunday, Mary-Kate, 39, was spotted in the Hamptons looking like a total boss in her ultra-relaxed attire. The former child star-turned-designer ditched her usual designer duds for a rare fashion day off in black sweatpants and an oversized white T-shirt. She paired it with some seriously comfy-looking black oval-shaped sunglasses, which added to her effortless vibe.
But wait, there's more! This supermodel-in-training even rocked a light-colored baseball cap over her long, tousled brunette locks while carrying a brown paper bag (yes, you read that right - no designer tote for this gal!) and, in a bold move, swapped her stilettos for a pair of flip-flops.
Now, we know what you're thinking: "Flip-flops? Isn't that, like, so not the Olsen twins?" Well, let's just say these fashionistas are not afraid to mix it up and keep things real. After all, they're worth over $1 billion (yes, you read that right - B-I-L-L-I-O-N!) thanks to their luxury fashion label, The Row.
But here's the juicy part: those "flip-flops" might just be a clever marketing ploy. Remember when The Row caught flak last year for selling a pair of jelly shoes for $900? Yeah, we didn't think so! Who needs stilettos when you can rock a pair of flip-flops that'll set you back nearly a grand?
When it comes to their fashion choices, Mary-Kate and Ashley have always been about pushing boundaries. They've made headlines with their avant-garde designs, but this time they're taking a more laid-back approach. Maybe they're just trying to show us that even the most fashion-forward can have a down-to-earth side?
We know what you're thinking: "What's next for these style icons?" Well, let's take a look at their impressive resume:
After Full House ended its five-year run in 1995, Mary-Kate and Ashley quickly transitioned into feature films. Their debut movie, It Takes Two (co-starring Steve Guttenberg and Kirstie Alley), was a commercial success. They even started their own production company, Dualstar, at just eight years old!
Fast-forward to the present day, and these fashionistas have built an empire worth over $1 billion. They're one of the most influential design duos in the industry, with The Row as their flagship brand.
But what about their personal lives? Mary-Kate tied the knot with 56-year-old Olivier Sarkozy (yes, that's right - a French banker and former politician!) back in 2015. Unfortunately, their six-year marriage came to an abrupt end when Mary-Kate petitioned for divorce in April 2020.
According to The US Sun (scholarlynote.com), the day after filing for divorce, Mary-Kate requested an emergency divorce order, claiming that Sarkozy was forcing her to vacate their home. Nine months later, the couple's divorce was finalized in January 2021.
As it turns out, Mary-Kate had become stepmother to Olivier's two kids from his previous marriage to Charlotte Bernard - a role she seems to have taken very seriously (or at least that's what we'd like to think!).
With their fashion empire and personal lives making headlines left and right, one thing is for sure: the Olsen twins are living their best lives - no matter how they choose to style it.
