Ashley Olsen is ready for her closeup.
On Thursday evening, the 35-year-old fashion designer and former actress walked the red carpet for the first time in two years. The outing marked Ashley’s first carpet since June 2019, when she and twin sister Mary-Kate attended that year’s CFDA Awards.
Last night, the Full House alum attended for the YES 20th Anniversary Celebration at The Maybourne Beverly Hills in California, an event which paid tribute to Young Eisner Scholars — a non-profit organization that “identifies promising students from underserved communities and equips them with the resources, support, and academic skills required for success through high school, college, and career,” according to its website.

“We were raised to be discreet people,” Mary-Kate said, when asked about The Row’s modest style.
“I think that potentially that’s just our aesthetic, our design preference,” Ashley added. “But that doesn’t mean that we don’t also appreciate something truly ornate or maximal. Sometimes a collection even starts quite like that, and then gets pared down. It doesn’t always start from that simplistic place.”

“Elizabeth is so lucky to have two sisters who are incredible designers and know her style so well,” the actress’ stylist Elizabeth Stewart previously told PEOPLE, also calling the look they created “a classic The Row aesthetic — simple, pristine, beautiful.”
“Elizabeth wanted to work with her sisters because who better to understand what is important to her and what will make her feel her best,” Stewart added. “In turn Mary-Kate and Ashley wanted to bring her vision to life.”
The Emmy nominee accessorized her look with statement-making Chopard earrings featuring 68.77-carats of diamonds for a “touch of red carpet sparkle.”
