Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Turn Heads at Met Gala with Velvet Bags from The Row
By Elijah King
Although Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen rarely step out for public events, they made a stylish exception for fashion’s biggest night.
The influential duo behind luxury label The Row attended the 2016 Met Gala—Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology—and stayed true to their signature aesthetic, effortlessly pulling off oversized, monochromatic ensembles with their trademark minimalist flair.

The twins did some self-promotion and styled their frocks with purses from their brand, The Row. Ashley carried the Happy Hour 7 Chain bag, and Mary Kate opted for the boho-inspired Ascot Satin bag to match her black ensemble.
