OlderMary-Kate Olsen - “Elle” July 2008
Mary-Kate Olsen dons a silk chiffon dress from Stella McCartney with a belt from Azzedine Alaïa on the July 2008 cover of Elle Magazine. Here are some interview snippets:
On profit motives complicating or even causing sibling rivalry: “[My twin sister Ashley and I] don’t agree all the time. The way we go about business or designing or making a decision is that we come at it from two completely different angles that at the end of the day, even when we don’t think we’re agreeing with each other, we are agreeing. We’re just getting there in different ways. Unless you’re a twin, you honestly can’t know how close twins can be. There’s such a strength… It stems from love, and it stems from passion. We’re driven people. I do know I can’t work in an office. Ashley, on the other hand, loves going to an office.”
On describing her casual attitude toward fashion: “I don’t know—you’re either on the worst-dressed list or you’ve started a fashion trend. I think there’s a real disconnect between the media’s perception of fashion and the fashion world’s idea of fashion. I don’t know why I wear some of the things I wear. I like wearing crazy things sometimes. I like being playful. Sometimes I feel like I’m playing dress-up and becoming a character. It’s sort of like an art. It can change your mood or the way that people are attracted to you.”
On feeling sexy: “The affirmations you get as a child star are so different from the ones I presume one seeks as a woman. I feel like I can be sexy when I want to be. I think all women are sexy. Some may feel it more than others. I personally think the women who are the most sexy are the women who are truly themselves, whatever that may be.”

they will just give anyone a magazine cover, if any of the hags from the hill be on elle i’m stop buying it
MKA STILL UGLY MONKEYS
i like what she said. even a bigger fan now
I agree — I really like what she was saying, and those who are smart enough will get it.
People don’t all have to look a certain way to be beautiful. In fact, the most beautiful people are those that are very distinct and almost ugly, but who make it work with their unique style and sense of self.
For anyone wondering if they are “still” famous — of course. Fame doesn’t just go away because someone has been going to college for a couple of years, or not acting in a movie for a while. They are famous because they always have been and with their sense of art, always will be.
i thought she was ashley for a second! she’s articlate and well spoken. i like the outfit she’s wearing. now if only she could look like tht everyday
OMG!!!LOVE THE DRESS!!!!SHE’S SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!
