Actress Mary-Kate Olsen

The New York Times declared Full House star and multimillionaire Mary-Kate Olsen a fashion icon for pioneering her signature “homeless” look.

The style, sometimes referred to as “ashcan” or “Boho-chic”, consists of oversized sunglasses, boots, loose sweaters, and flowing skirts all with an aesthetic of mixing high end pieces with low end.

Does she look like a fashion icon to you?

    I guess the ppl that slate her probably think J-lo dresses good, ha. Enough said.

  • Helen says:

    you’re crazy if you think she looks crap
    if you’re saying that you’re obv not on trend
    effortless glamour is the way forward
    shes such an icon
    she makes everything look good.

  • Emily says:

    I don’t know what all you guys are talking about, but I love this.

  • cal says:

    shes super creative!

  • Jazmyn says:

    I personally love it. I love almost everything MK wears. And to me she doesn’t look like a hobo/bum. Are her clothes ripped and dirty? No…what bum wears heels?? Uhmm right none…

  • Steph says:

    I would like to see any of you MK haters dress better than her. you probably still wear clothes from A&F and Old Navy

  • Michelle says:

    I think she looks AMAZING. && she truly is a fashion icon!!

  • Jessica says:

    She has her style, but sometimes she do be looking a hot mess.

  • danielle says:

  • hecor neon says:

    of shes, look her; I mean she got a lot of her OWN style
    and I mean fashion is about it

  • Frankkie says:

    I love her she’s great. Since billboard dad to this photo.

  • Lærke says:

    HELL YEAH!
    I agree with Alex O .
    If you look at marc jacobs or, alexander wang etc etc, this year the luxury grun is the most wanted stile.
    all the big fashion houses like marc jacobs, chloe etc etc wants the grunge look.
    there is a reason that marykate has been on the cover of several magasines, like vogue which is a big and respected fashion magasin.
    people like rihanna, and Ashley tisdale, Vannessa hudgens etc etc are also young and rich, but that doesnt make you a fashion icon.
    A fashion Icon is a person who haves a stile that can mix very expensive things and cheap things and can give the stile a personal twist.
    mary kate olsen is a fashion icon people have voted and agreed.
    And for your record, Karl Lagerfield haves called her one of the biggest fashion icons.
    hope that you understand more now.

    I THINK SHE LOOKS F***ING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

    none of you idiots have a clue about fashion! She’s not trying to look like some amazing celeb in the magazines, she is wearing what she LIKES and look brilliant! Everyone else just pussys around trying to wear sensible crap and they look horrible!

    I LOVE what Mary-Kate wears!!!!!!

    yes! i love her style. its so bohemian.

  • anti says:

    I love her style ! everything looks perfect on her..

  • Amanda says:

    I like everything but the sweater.

  • Melanie says:

    Her looks are sophisticated yet effortless, everything she wears always falls into place. I think people hold a certain grudge against her because of the drugs and such that has been going around celebrity news and magazines. She is a fashion icon to most people; people who are against the way she dresses just have different ideal tastes and perspectives of what is “style”.

    LA AMO, ES LA MEJOOOOOOOOOOR

  • HI =P says:
