Mary-Kate Olsen showed her wild side as she attended the “Holy Rollers” premiere yesterday, May 10, 2010.
The look was completed with a Jimmy Choo fringe handbag.
Her sister, Ashley, wore a similar trousered look but opted instead for a black and white bi-color look.
The event was held at Landmark’s Sunshine Cinema in New York City.

Macy’s has announced the launch of six new fashion collections for spring, some by a few well-known names.
But the one that stands out for me most is Kouture by Kimora.
In stores March 2010, the line, mainly for juniors, smacks of the model-mom-mogul’s fabulosity. In fact, Macy’s says it will feature trendy body-loving looks with eye-catching embellishments, vibrant colors and energetic prints.
If you’re a budget fashionista, you’ll love that prices range from $24 to $40.
Look for retro jackets, off-shoulder blouses, fun rompers and flirty dresses as part of Kouture by Kimora, which will also release a Fall 2010 collection.

The Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Board of Directors has added 31 new designers to its membership.
The list was ratified on July 14 and publicly released on the Council’s web site today.
Among the new privileged group are some well known names.
Lorraine Schwartz, jewelry designer, perhaps further popularized by an envied mention on a Jay-Z record, makes the cut.
The Council also welcomes Jason Wu, who caught the First Lady’s attention and set the fashion world abuzz during Inauguration festivities.
The Olsen twins for their ELIZABETH & JAMES, and THE ROW, earn a place among the chosen few, with the CFDA release also noting their business’ expansion to include menswear–a project which will debut in the Fall.
Erin Fetherston, selected to design a Go International line for Target in 2007, Alexander Wang, and Marcella and Johan Lindeberg of William Rast fame, are other names which jump off the page.
