Ashley Olsen'S Rare Denim Moment Steals The Spotlight At Nyfw

Olsen Twins Turn Heads at NYFW

I can't decide what's more surprising: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's joint appearance at New York Fashion Week or the fact that one of them was wearing jeans. Actually, I can. The 39-year-old twins, who literally run a business together – a luxury fashion brand, no less – are often seen together, though not always captured on camera. As co-founders of The Row, there's no better setting for a sisterly night out than a NYFW party hosted by Bloomingdales. And while it's been three years since their last public appearance, Ashley's rip-free, straight-leg jeans felt even more rare.

“Even Ashley Olsen couldn't resist the allure of straight-leg jeans this fall,” a fashion insider noted, emphasizing the trend's resurgence.

A Fashion Twist in the Big Apple

While both twins are known to hit the red carpet in maxi dresses and skirts (or coats), they tend to move about the city in trousers and sweatpants. On September 11, Mary-Kate and Ashley largely stuck to their typical outfit formula, prioritizing comfort with luxe, oversized layers and sturdy leather accessories. Mary-Kate opted for a casual grey sweater and oversized blanket scarf, paired with square-toed black boots and what appears to be The Row's Agnes bag.

Ashley Olsen's straight-leg blue jeans, however, were an unexpected choice. She styled the structured, yet slightly faded denim with a black boot and bag combo of her own, finishing off the autumnal look with a long black wool coat and an oversized silky scarf. This unexpected denim moment was captured in all its glory, highlighting the twins' effortless style.

The Evolution of Denim

Like most millennials, the Olsen twins used to be huge proponents of skinny jeans before embracing more relaxed silhouettes in the 2020s. It seems denim has lost its luster for them over the years, with Mary-Kate's most recent denim look in June 2023, pairing a vibrant red trench coat with ripped baggy jeans, gold loafers, and a massive Birkin bag in NYC. A year before that, Ashley wore a pair of ripped cigarette jeans, an oversized blazer, and loafers to her 36th birthday celebration.

So, if you're looking for definitive proof that straight-leg jeans are truly "that girl" in fall 2025, look no further. Even Ashley Olsen couldn't resist.
