Little Mary-Kate, Ashley Olsen Wouldn’t Recognize Themselves Now

Sometimes when we’re looking at recent pictures of the Olsen twins, we can’t help but wonder about what little Mary-Kate and Ashley would think about how they’ve grown up. The tiny tots were stars since before they could even talk, and growing up in the wild world of Hollywood probably had them ready for just about anything. But still, we’re not sure they could’ve anticipated the, uh, unsettling adults they turned into.

Legit, present day MK+A almost never smile, their fashion sense is something else, and, frankly, they don’t even really look alike anymore. I mean, yeah, they look similar — but they used to look identical, and these days it takes hardly more than half a second to be like, “Oh, that one is obviously Mary-Kate.” These days, Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel look more alike than these twins.

But hey, who knows how a conversation between the tiny twins and their older selves would go? After all, the girls are fraternal — and they’ve apparently always hated their fame. So maybe they’d actually be into how things turned out. Then again, they’d probably be at least a little dismayed to find out that they look like legit grandmas now. Grandmas who’ve had plastic surgery to stay looking young while still running a whole fashion empire, but grandmas all the same. Can’t imagine what a meeting between the two sets of twins, past and present, would be like? We gave it a shot — and things got weird. Check it out below.

All the Olsen twins at the Met Gala

"Our youthful looks may fade, but at least our flawless fashion sense remains. Hey, speaking of, where'd you get that lime green fur-lined jacket?"

Whether at age 12 or 30, Mary-Kate and Ashley have always loved to incorporate a little lace into their style. And hey, a pop of color never hurt anyone either — although the younger twins tended to go for more than just a pop, and the older twins typically shy away from anything that's not an explicitly neutral hue.

Ashley Olsen isn't about posing for the camera

"Wait, since when are you camera shy? We've been doing this our whole lives!"

A young Ashley appeared in front of the cameras so much that she even played around in photoshoots where the concept was doing another photoshoot. But older Ashley doesn't do any kind of promotional pics these days, let alone Inception-style ones. In fact, she generally tries to avoid being photographed at all other than the basically twice a year occasions she makes it out to. Heck, she doesn't even have an Instagram.

31-Year-Old Mary-Kate Olsen checks in

"So you're telling me that I'm a literal baby, but my future husband basically already graduated from high school?"

We doubt the tiny twin could've ever anticipated ending up with someone so much older, but MK's husband, Olivier Sarkozy, is a solid 17 years her senior. That means they're age difference isn't far off from the one the Olsens share with Uncle Jesse, aka John Stamos. Bizarre.

Elizabeth Olsen is a star

"Wait, you're telling me our baby sister is the most famous Olsen now? She was never even on a family sitcom! We were on three!"

We know, baby Olsens. It just doesn't make sense. But every since MK and A stepped out of the spotlight to work on things behind the scenes, little sister Lizzie has stepped up to the plate. And though she never had her own series of kids' detective novels inspired by her TV show, she is starring in blockbuster Marvel movies.
