Elizabeth Olsen, known for her roles in popular shows and films, shared insights into her fashion preferences during an interview with InStyle published on October 21. At 36 years old, she demonstrated subtle support for her twin sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, by exclusively wearing items from their luxury brand, The Row, along with vintage pieces.
The actress revealed,
“and things my sisters give me from the Row, like her coat.”
She emphasized her preference for practical spending outside of clothing, saying,
“I love buying food, and I love buying homegoods. Linens. I buy a lot of small tables … I’ll spend money, but it’s not on clothes,”
highlighting a focus on comfort and utility over fashion splurges.
Details on Elizabeth Olsen’s Stylish Look from The Row
For a recent photo shoot, Elizabeth donned a sleek coat from The Row featuring a brown hue with boxy sleeves and an A-line cut. The design included a structured collar with black buttons and spacious pockets, paired expertly with black leggings from the same brand. Completing her look, she wore patent leather shoes and added a Van Cleef & Arpels ring for subtle elegance.
Her styling extended to beauty choices where she combined dewy skin, contoured cheeks, carefully filled eyebrows, and pink lips. Her brunette hair was swept up into a polished updo, with softly styled bangs framing her face, enhancing the overall sophisticated fall ensemble.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s Shift from Acting to Fashion
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, both 39 and known for their early acting careers in hits like Full House, When in Rome, and Passport to Paris, officially retired from the screen in 2012 to concentrate fully on The Row. The twins have since become influential figures in the fashion industry, steering their brand to international acclaim.
In a rare interview with Vogue in September 2024, the twins discussed their newest venture: opening their first store in Paris. Ashley described their lengthy search:
“We’ve been looking for years, but then we look everywhere all the time,”
and added,
“We wanted to be in Paris before we opened in London, but we didn’t find anything here first. Then, 18 months ago, a friend told us about this place.”
Insights into The Row’s Paris Store Experience
Mary-Kate reflected on the shop’s challenges, noting its many windows. She explained,
“Ashley and I don’t like putting anything in our windows,”
which led them to opt for shades instead of traditional displays. Ashley stressed the importance of the customer experience, sharing,
“It has to be a nice experience for the community — a sense of the store being local,”
and,
“We want the experience to be unique and special. Their experience is as important to us as anything else we do.”
Ashley also spoke about learning from the store opening process:
“You need to be very agile, and to make adjustments, so opening the doors and learning one day at a time… that’s very us,”
she said, continuing,
“This may not be the most obvious place to be in Paris — we looked at almost every major street in the city — but we’re very happy here.”
Elizabeth Olsen’s Ongoing Career Amid Family Fashion Focus
While Mary-Kate and Ashley have stepped away from acting, Elizabeth maintains a strong presence in the entertainment world. She has earned acclaim for her performances in WandaVision, Love & Death, Avengers: Infinity War, Eternity, and The Assessment. Notably, in 2021, she received a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her role as Wanda Maximoff in WandaVision.
The Row’s Influence and Future Prospects
Elizabeth Olsen’s dedication to wearing The Row and vintage clothing not only reinforces the brand’s prominence but also highlights strong family support within the fashion industry. The twins’ careful approach to expanding their retail presence, especially with their Paris storefront, shows their commitment to creating meaningful and localized shopping experiences. As Elizabeth continues to balance her acting career with fashion loyalty, The Row is poised to maintain its status as a premier label cherished by influential figures in entertainment and beyond.
