When it comes to their label The Row, designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are masters of all things quietly elegant. So it’s no surprise, then, that when it came time for the duo to find their own red carpet outfits for the CFDA Awards in New York tonight, they chose an equally stealthy-chic aesthetic.
Nominated for Accessories Designer of the Year, the two siblings and business partners hit the awards ceremony in all-black ensembles that were subtle variations on each other. Ashley wore a simple black top and floor-length skirt, accentuating the streamlined silhouette with a sleek black clutch and pointy, transparent mesh heels. As for Mary Kate, she wore a structured topcoat with a black top and trousers—her croc clutch, in a sprightly teal colorway, providing a sole pop of color.
So, while the two Olsens rarely go for that dazzling aesthetic many stars do on the step and repeat—please refer to Jennifer Lopez's custom Ralph Lauren this evening—their commitment to understated minimalism is just as thrilling to watch.
