Watch: Take a New York Minute to Enjoy Mary-Kate Olsen's Rare Outing

Mary-Kate Olsen is enjoying a holiday in the sun.

The Row designer, who retired from acting after 2011's Beastly to focus on her and Ashley Olsen's fashion empire, made a casual appearance in the Hamptons June 29.

For her summer outing in Long Island, the 39-year-old donned black sweatpants and sandals, paired with a white T-shirt adorned with colorful "LA" signage. Mary-Kate, holding a paper bag and carrying a tan tote bag, maintained a low profile in a baseball cap and sunglasses.

This marked a rare public outing for Mary-Kate, who has opted to stay out of the spotlight in recent years. In fact, the Full House alum was last photographed in November 2024 while in Paris with her twin sister.

At the time, the duo was opening a new store for The Row, which is also located in New York City, East Hampton, Los Angeles and London.

"We don’t really try to get it right,” Mary-Kate told Vogue in September of their latest venture. "We just try to learn."

"We will have special pieces in the mix,” she added of their Paris boutique, “but we think it will lean more towards the casual.”

It's a milestone moment for the duo, who'd been searching for a location in the city for years.

"We wanted to be in Paris before we opened in London, but we didn't find anything here first," Ashley—mom to 2-year-old son Otto, with husband Louis Eisner—explained. "Then, 18 months ago, a friend told us about this place." 

And that means continuing to learn and adapt to any challenges they face.

"You need to be very agile, and to make adjustments, so opening the doors and learning one day at a time...that's very us," Ashley noted. "This may not be the most obvious place to be in Paris—we looked at almost every major street in the city—but we're very happy here."

As Mary-Kate and Ashley continue this new chapter, keep reading to revisit their evolution.
