Mary-Kate Olsen Update
July 14th, 2008 by Rian | Filed under Celebrity Weight Gain, Mary Kate Olsen.(This post was edited and re-posted in order to include new information!)
Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted leaving her boyfriend’s house in Hollywood yesterday…
(Photos via Flynet)
Wow! She has most definitely gained some weight, mostly in the leg area. She looks so much healthier these days than she used to.
However, the July 21 2008 issue of Star Magazine article claims that Mary-Kate seems to have slipped back into her anorexic ways and claims that she lives on cigarettes, Red Bulls, coffee and alcohol. For an appetite suppressant, she eats Altoids.
Insiders say Mary-Kate’s eating habits are another cause for concern. “She exists on cigarettes, cofee and Red Bull - that is, when she’s not drinking,” says a source. “If she does order food, she picks at it.” The source adds that MK has appeared weak and faint at business meetings and had to lie down. And she eats Altoids mints to stave off hunger!
I personally don’t believe the article… if she subsisted on such little nutrition, she would likely look pretty scary skinny, which she doesn’t at the moment.
What do you all think?
(On an unrelated topic, those shoes/boots are just awful!)
Quote source: Star Magazine, July 21 2008 issue
Her body may be healthier but her outfit is certainly on the critical list. What is up with… everything she is wearing?!
Her body looks good, that outfit on the other hand……
It’s good to see her looking healthier =]
She almost looks her age for once…
And god, those shoes are awful.
Those shoes look like a form of torture…
It is, however, nice to see that she’s gained a little well-needed weight.
I think she looks ace, much needed weight gained but looks all the better.
Looks healthier, but she and her sister are in desperate need of a stylist.
FINALLY she looks healthier and better, I hope she is happy
I agree with everyone…the shoes HAVE to go. Also, her hair looks really damaged. I wonder if it is from years of malnourishment. She looks good with a little weight.
good for her for gaining weight, but she needs an image makeover. the shoes…stringy hair…ripped shirt. she has all the money in the world to hire 10 stylists!!
she looks like she gained, but isn’t doing any working out to keep herself fit
Don’t hate on MK’s outfit. She is one of my biggest style icons. Not everyone could pull off her clothes, but that’s the beauty of it! I applaud her individuality.
She’s very beautiful, but it looks as if she doesn’t care about herself or anything else right now with the way she’s dressing and the expression on her face. I doubt she’s all that healthy with this mindset. I hope she is getting counseling. I like this girl.
SHE can’t even pull off her clothes!
She looks healthy, much better than she used to, but her legs somehow got shorter?
Disagree, she can pull anything off.
But I’m biased because I totally love her. I don’t think she doesn’t care about herself, I think she probably loves what she’s wearing and who are we to criticise
I do think maybe she and her sister both should work out because although they are thin now all that up and down weight loss will make it difficult for them to just eat normally and stay at one weight.
Although I love them I bet they are just really unhealthy.
oh wow. she looks totally different. she used to be so skinny. she has definitely gained a lot. but she looks good and healthy.
mattie, you can’t be honestly insisting a world renown fashion ICON should hire a pathetic stylist like rachel zoe
honestly
lol mattie
I’m really glad to see Mary-Kate at a healthy weight…I hope she’s happy too, hard to tell in photos. Her and her sis need to make movies again (well not the same kind of kiddie movies but u know)
Hm, now see this is how people go back to their EDs. When you say that they gained a lot of weight. The shorts looks like her boyfriends jeans and she cut them to be her shorts. But you know, whatever she likes is fine.
Oh god what is she wearing? Her body looks much better but that outfit has to go. I love her and her sister but sometimes I wonder how they go out of the house dressed like they do.
it’s called fashion, people. obviously none of you truly knows what that is.
i like everything except the ugly shoes
To the poster who said none of us know what fashion is… I have a question. Is it “fashion” when one wears a blazer that’s too tight in the upper arms AND cuts into the back? To me, that description falls better into the category of “ill-fitting.”
her legs look shorter bc she gained weight. i think she looks squatty.. bc she is soo short she needs to be thinner to look good
she found the time to do up those disgusting shoes but not her shirt…
who’s her bf?
she is short and because she is heavyer it shows.. oh well
i like the boyfreind jeanshorts look every now and then. i have a pair but i cut a big hole in one leg so they look different, its cool for a day at the beach anyways.
yea she looks better but i hope she NEVER reads this. people recovering from ED’s NEVER EVER want to hear they’ve gained weight. it’s like telling them they’re one step away from obesity. the weight may come back but the body distortion will never truly go away imho.
I don’t care how fat or thin the Olsens get. What they both need to get is a sense of style. I can’t believe there are people who call them style icons, or fashionistas. I have yet to see one outfit on either of them that’s I’d wear.
have to stand against the crowd here: LOVE the shoes somehow!
it’s not like i’m going to love her just because she is finally eating. nope, can’t play that game with me.
wasnt there a pic of her in similar type shorts leaning up againts a car a while back? she was thinner and looked so much better in the other pic. now she doesnt pull off the shorts so well. they only look cool if you are thin enough!
is she heavyer then pre diet, looks it to me
those gladiator shoes makes her look so short!
EWWWWWWWWWWWWW— GLADIATOR SHOES HAVE G2G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally agree with Ohlivia!
The outfit is kind of adorable, if you ignore the shoes. Which is hard because they are a frickin’ eye sore.
Apart from that and the paedophile sun glasses, she is looking amazing!
troll with a total lack of style
I know she is healthier but coz she is so short she looked better thinner. She needed t gain some weight but this is too much-her legs look kinda chunky
the only reason anyone considers her a fashion icon and that she can “pull anything off” is because she wears the most heinous combinations at times and everyone is used to it. Oh, and because she’s pretty.
#1. I LOVE those shoes. Anyone know where I could purchase a pair?
#2. We’re so similar in size, dress, and somewhat facial features it’s crazy, but she’s pretty:)
fashion victim #1
bring on go fug yourself
Sorry Jennie, I’m sure you’re pretty. Hope the resemblence to the twins is not too strong
I personally do not find the Olsen twins pretty at all. Even since infancy (in Full House) they were they most unattractive babies I’d ever seen. In fact, I’ve heard them compared to those troll dolls sold in souvenier shops. I have to agree with the majority that they looked better thinner.
Is she on DRUGS?! Or does she just want to look that way? That is NOT fashion. But she is a cute, attractive girl….but didn’t they both get nose jobs? Google it. It appears so.
I hate how you can’t see the whole picture without scrolling back and forth!! Is there a way to fix that?
her and her shoes are shiteous! wow what does she weigh now.. 100 lbs instead of 90! congrats MK you ate a salad
i love her. she is gorgeous
Homely and fugly- a lethal combo
Who is her boyfriend?
She looks great! Everyone back off.
I forgot-if this is a fashion icon then i must have been a trend setter in college in the 90s…
I love her, and I love her boots, its no easy for an anorexic gain weight, and when they do it even of people congratulations they might be hate herself… please MK stay out of bad thoughts… you look amazing just the way you are…
I love your style
* updated*
does she know there is sugarfree redbull??
too much drinking i guess bc she has on a good amount of weight.
guess she just started the minimal cal diet and it seems too early for her to feel faint and weak.
maybe its a drug making her feel weak and faint bc i dont think its her weight, she’d have to be thinner!!
but i like the altoid thing i never knew thatone think i’ll try it!!
she looks like she needs a shower.
Obviously she’s gained, but I think she looks good. I don’t think the sandals are soo bad, but they are what’s making her legs seem so squat. I do love her shirt though.
Thanks for the edited repost!
I drink Sugarfree redbull to start a workout!
MK obviously knows she gained and doesnt like it- hence the no food deit.
I need to try the altoids, thanks MK
Well, if she’s DRINKING heavily, she doesn’t have to eat to gain weight. Alcohol contains empty calories, and will make you gain weight in a heart-beat.
those shoes are hot you all trippin!!
btw people can live of readbull, cigs, cofee, and extremely minimal food…and still not be that thin =/
i bet the metabolism is shot, at least until she gets healthier habits….
Her outfit is terrible. Forget her body, I can’t get past how hideous her ensemble looks. Obviously, she doesn’t care about her appearance.
it’s true you can live on that little and still be a normal-ish weight, especially if you’ve had and ED (trust me I know) it totally messes up your metabolism for YEARS. I’ve actually gained on 1000 calories a day (yes it was 1000, I don’t underestimate), so just because one is starving does it = scary skinny if one’s metabolism is shot.
PS. her weight looks fine now, but she doesn’t look very happy here
this is ashley olsen, not mary kate
whether you like her clothes or not, at least she has a sense of style. unlike some people (ashlee simpson) who just follow trends. And i wouldnt be surprised if we was slipping back into anorexia because she has put on a lot of weight. it’s just instinct to want to lose weight if youve gained. and of course she doesnt look scary skinny at the moment, it takes time for the weight to come off even if she’s starving herself.
Gross legs, although she looks healthier. They just look stumpy. She should take some of her billions and hire a trainer.
the tabloids are never legitimate anyway. especially star. if anything, people and us weekly are probably closest to the truth.
Wow are people really saying that MK doesnt have a sense of style. The girl is so unique and can pull anything off. She looks great.
Looking worse than a homeless person is not much of a fashion icon. She has some hits with her clothes, but mostly misses.
She looks healthier, weight wise. Everything else is still a mess.
i think she’s in the best weight
she has gained… good for her.
as far as her “fashion” goes… just because you can search through your closet and put on anything… well, actully everything in this case, doesn’t make you a fashion icon… i have thought in the past when she was starting the “bohemian” phase that she looked good… while most thought she looked homeless, she was actually one of the ones who made the look popular today. This look meh.. not so much… the shoes maybe… but first of all, cut off short are already “in”… her’s are just baggy, and unflattering. secondly, blazers are already in… nothing new there, except this one needs to be tailored, or better yet, put back in daddy’s closet. lastly, ahhh, the shoes… while i think they are a little too dressy for her outfit, i predict they will be yet onemore thing everyone hates now, but will crave in a few seasons… so that’s all for my unintentionally long rant…sorry
ugh..trash.
Wash your f*cking hair. Seriously.
I’d really like to know how long those shoes take to put on.
I’d be glad for her if she get’s better but I’m not quite sure maybe she really is relapsing because of the weight gain. guess we’ll have to wait and see
but those shoes have to go now
she was able to pull them off as she was skinny but now it seems they are cutting into her flesh which looks really uncomfortable :/
That’s so typical.
“Oh, she doesn’t look like a skeleton- so it must mean she can’t have an eating disorder.”
Has it occurred to anyone that maybe she’s completely screwed up her metabolism from all the restricting she’s done over the past few year, and how alcohol gets turned into body fat quickly?
I mean, let’s THINK people
I think her hair might be overprocessed. My hair started falling out when I wasn’t eating enough, that seems to be a common problem.
give her a break.
eating disorders are hard.
seeing this post will just make her fall right back into anorexia.
way to fucking go.
she definitely looks a lot healthier. i almost feel guilty looking at this, because it must be so hard to be recovering and have people comment on your weight. poor girl. she looks good though.
I LOOOOVE her shoes. She looks pretty healthy to me. By the way - love this website - just found it and can’t get enough.
Ummmm people those sandals are Chanel and I got a pair and I love themmmm.
AAAAAAAMazing, she actually looks big in these pics! Never thought the day would come. Now I understand her ED more, she can’t pull off normal weight because she’s so short. Not if she’s going for fashionista anyways.
@ Sari
I don’t think those shoes are basically ugly but one has to be able to pull them off
she seems to love them to since she is wearing them rather often (I remember several older pics with those shoes)but because of the weight gain they them to be a little to tight at the calves and therefore are cutting in
I don’t want to say she’s fat but those shoes are unflattering on her right now
I love this shoes!
for heaven’s sake she could feel thin and weak after just a day of restricted eating, or half a day, so let’s not say it’s “too early”. blood sugar sags every four hours or so, that’s why people have meals spaced throughout the day…if she has struggled with anorexia in the past then her metabolism is probably at least a little wonky, so just because you don’t see weight loss doesn’t mean she’s eating healthfully.
The shoes are awful but she has been looking happier, healthier and much more normal recently, very nice to see.
She looks so much better with a little bit more weight.
Not sure about her gladiator sandals and her hair is lank.
Lets hope she can keep up the good work and that these are just rumors.
that diet road back to the anorexic weight, in no time, maybe two months. sad. you never recover fully.. always the relapse lurking if you do..
idiots. if she really has been eating next to nothing for last few years and has now been eating somewhat more normally last few months of course her body is going to storage it all.
Women who appear “healthy” looking often abuse their bodies most!!!! Failing at anorexia does sting bad…
hey the time stamp is wrong its 5:15am est not 4:15, weird
hope MK gets some serious help ASAP cigs coffee (sf)redbull and some altoids!!
10 cals for the (sf) redbull, cant be more then 40 for the altiods thru out the day, max 50 calories for skim milk in a cpl coffees ttl. 100 cal diet.
MAYBE she adds an apple or some fruit and a yogurt making it ttl. 300 cals per day on the days she doesnt drink.
drinking days 100 cals plus the drinking
a mix deit coke/ rum or vodka 100 (x2)200
lite beer 100 (x2) 200
total 500
unless shes smart enough to have something very lite before drinking add 100 - 200 more ttl.700
roughly 2 lbs a week using the 3,500 cal to lose a pound. and assuming aproximateing a lower metabolism (with past starvation diets) 1,200- 1,500 calorie day requirement.
so 16 lbs in two months probaally a bit more with a bit of exercise and water weight loss: so we can say 20lbs loss (which on someone shorter is quite a bit)
yep i’d say two months she will be really really skinny (anorexic weight again)
HOPE SHE STOPS NOW IF THESE ARE INFACT TRUE which likely they are with her history =(
well its 5:37am EST curious to see what the time stamp will say hence i calculated her weight loss, for something to type to see the time stamp.
oh well off for my am run before its sweltering with humidity
PS i find her style quite cool Usually the shoes seem a bit much but somehow they go with the outfit perhaps in an odd way) & the shorts are cute with the belt, the jacket and top DISlike the sunglasses.
those chanel gladiator sandals are awesome.
is that really MK?¿ she looks like ashley..
this combination of clothes does nothing for her height
Somehow I think it might be bad to write things like “She is healthier now” or “She has gained weight”.
I doubt she reads this website so it should be okay, but if she read things like that in a magazine she’d probably think she became fat and would try to lose weight…
If “icon” means “draped, wrapped, and swathed in a grab bag of castoffs found during a Dumpster dive in the Garment District,” then, yeah, I so totally agree with all of you who revere this little gnome for her fashion sense.
she looks very good, im glad she is happy and glad she has gained weight.
You can be a normal weight and still eat very little. She looks good. I like gladiator sandals, but these are a little bit much. The only thing that looks bad is the blazer. As some one pointed out, it is too small across her shulders and ill fitting.
I hate those roman shoes. Why are they trying to make it a hype every single summer. They’re gross. She on the other hands looks so much better. Good for her!
Wow she looks great!
her hair needs some shampoo and she a makeover! ugly shoes, makes her legs look very short!
she looks like a train wreck….and she naturally is pearshaped.
MK can pull off anything.
Ugh, She looks terrible. I love how picking out your clothes blindfolded makes you a fashion icon…as for her weight, while she is most certainly not fat. She is not in the least bit healthy looking. She has no tone to speak of and would probably pass out if asked to run a mile. I believe that she probably does subsist on red bulls and cigarettes cause there is healthy skinny and then there’s Mary Kate Olsen skinny.

Sorry, but she does not look more healthy.
All the weight she has put on is fat and flab.
So funny people saying things like her legs look so short - she is TINY so of course now she’s not built like a skeleton her Bambi like limbs look alot shorter!
She has gained so much weight-i’m sure she will go into panic mode and start starving it all off. Her metabolism must be in a bad way now thru all the dieting so will be harder for her to lose weight. She needs to exercise of something coz her legs look dumpy and flabby-them shoes don’t help. Ashley is actually the thinner twin now!
i feel bad saying it but she looked much better thinner. she just doesnt carry weight well imho.
Considering she was pretty ill looking before she got help, I find it pretty sad people say she looked better before.
shes just tiny and cute at every weight she must be very interesting person if its true that clothes talk about someones personality..
she looks awful. those “sandals” or whatever they are are the ugliest things ever…
Kikki - she grew up in the public eye, I’m sure her and her sister are very interesting people with many a tale to tell
she looks better…
but her outfit is horrible!
i love her and ashley, always have, but why do they always insist on dressing like witches? seriously…they have all that money and they dress like this?
Put this pic of her next to any other person and she would still look like a waif. These pics are soo close up it makes her look bigger than she is in my opinion.
I would like to see a post of new pics of beyonce and shakira
i’d love to see her grow a little pot belly and a round ass with some cellulite
I think she is fine weightwise. I like her clothes too, except the shoes. They would look fine on somebody tall. On MK they look like Forrest`s “magic boots”, not good at all.
I don’t understand why everyone accredits her poor fashion choices to her lack of a stylist. I don’t have a stylist and I dress ten times better than she does!
But weight-wise she is looking a lot healthier. Good for her, I just hope she doesn’t relapse.
I like her better anorexic …mean but true …
the outfit well…only she can pull it off and its good that she’s happy …she used to lool very very miserable …but prettier
i agree Who? ha!
she looked far better anorexic it is true and not mean just honest
i think she is unhappy now because shes is heavyer and she feels it better off skinE
Mischa Barton called—said don’t let comments about your legs bother you—you are pretty—they are not.
she wears those boot/calf cages to hide her ugly calves. her legs look fat, knee fat.
those are chanel gladiator sandles!
anyway i think she looks better ‘alittle’ slimmer
between here and her low somewhere .. but looks like shes off to her low
I agree with whoever said that her metabolism is probably very messed up. She may subsist only on those items, but appear to be at a normal weight.
Each of those pieces she is wearing would be nice in another outfit, but together? Not a good look.
Get a freakin pedicure. Her toes are a jacked up mess!
And why do both she and Ashley ALWAYS look like they never bathe.
If the red bull, cigarettes, and coffee are her diet, then she will be found dead from a heart attack. When will people realize that!
And one last thing, why do hollywood “it” girls dress like it’s freakin winter.
I think it’s Ashley too-it’s hard to tell since they both went light blond.
No, that’s the kind of sunglasses that only M-k would wear; and I like the outfit, just not on her - her legs look very stumpy.
i think thats ashley
I hate her outfit.
But I agree that being told you’ve gained weight would be devestating. Even when people assure you that you look BETTER you can’t believe it.
T R O L L
will look better after she loses the weight
it is devistating thus she will feel better loseing it again ][ bc wt loss is believeable
I can’t believe people scrutinize these twits enough to be able to tell the difference.
poor mk!!! You can eat NOTHING and gain if you drink a lot.
Yes, they’re known as the Trollsen twins now.
I agree with Jodi, does it really matter whether it’s one or the other of them?
And as for being style-icons, they wear the latest trends– that’s not style.
She looks way better. She must have started drinking lattes or something. Those sandals are simply atrocious!
Those are the ugliest shoes I have ever seen in my life! No one looks good in those gross gladiator sandals–not even perfect people like Gisele. They are hideous!!!!
Totally agree w/ KIM
US magazine just did a whole page by the “fashion police” on fashion disasters featuring…THE GLADIATOR SANDAL/BOOT; and yes, MK was on there. funny
i only scrutinze the ‘trollson twins’ bodys
God, she looks so pissed about the paps. I hope it’s not true that she’s going back to her unhealthy ways. She looks perfectly normal in these. I’ve always loved her style.
I certainly hope she’s not anorexic. She looks good here, and I don’t think she needs to lose any weight. She’s a very short woman, and it’s hard not to look stumpy/chubby when you’re five feet tall, without being grossly underweight.
Also, I really wouldn’t be able to tell you which twin this is. They look the same to me. I actually like the way they dress, even though lots of people don’t. I even like the sandals, although I kinda think they’d look better on someone who’s about 8 inches taller than she is.
Not true Thalia. You can find their style hideous, but they don’t follow the trends, they set them. I enjoy looking at their outfits so much more than looking at Ashley Tisdale’s for example.
The shoes-pah! they only work as sandals not these knee high things!
I don’t get it, just because certain things are in fashion (gladiator sandals) doesn’t mean that they actually suit you. She hasn’t got the legs to pull those sandals off. Horrid! Not to mention the rest of her outfit. She’s gained weight, thank God! She needed to put on some weight.
I friggin love her individuality, although I think Ashley Olsen might be healthier than she is. MK looks great now, at her happy weight. At least she doesn’t look as SCARY as last time, when you could see her backbone (rmb the lavender dress?)
Go MK! Hope you’re happy and have learnt to appreciate your body the way it is
PS. I friggin love the Olsen twins’ style. They can pull off classic bohemian SO WELL!
she has def gained and I hope she stays healthy.
I’m trying to figure what person those shoes/boots/whatever would be flattering on. I’m sort of drawing a blank.
Otherwise, she looks adorable!
LOVE those Chanel shoes
Goodness.. I hate these shoes! bäähh..
Ashley would never let her hair look like that, but I think its Ashley’s car, MK has a Porsche Cayenne
I’m not liking the shoes..but she does look GREAT you can’t deny it! Stupid gossip magazines..we know they’re all bull. And it’s definitely Mary-Kate not Ashley, take a closer look at her face in the first picture.
lol at the lennon glasses, love the blazer, was a major fan of the sandles a few seasons ago, ..still cool, but a bit played out.
and she definatley has gained some (somewhat needed) weight.
I think she looks terific. I can understand how some people don’t appeal to her fashion sense, but I, for one, find it refreshing and eclictic. I would wear that!
She looks great, I just hope she feels the same way.
Yes, you definitely can live off red bulls, altoids and cigarettes and look this way…it’s called a broken metabolism. Your body lowers its metabolic rate because of long term calorie deprivation…and before you know it, you are hardly eating anything, and can’t lose weight, and easily gain it…
*SHRUG* I know it’s Mary-Kate, the girls actually have very different facial features tho obviously they have a very similar general appearance. Jodi, you can laugh at me!!!! If MK is drinking a lot then that definitely WILL put pounds on you. When I stopped drinking completely years ago, I dropped 20lbs. in 2 weeks. I didn’t know that was going to happen, I hadn’t thought about weight loss, just ending hangovers - and I wondered what was wrong with me! MK is so little and fine boned that she doesn’t look her best at this particular weight, and she obviously isn’t feeling happy. I hope that she will get to a healthier, not haunted, place.
Thanks for posting. Love her, love her, love her.
She looks so nice!
she needs to lose the weight good for the new diet
What the fuck is she wearing
When you are OLDER you usually gain weight..common sense..
at least she’s not sprayed all over with the fake bake tan!
OMG! Nevermind the weight gain, what in the world is she wearing?!?!!?!
she looks sad
but easier to look at now shes not a skeleton
she looks so good in the you tube videos
now she has put on too much weight
The girl is 22 years old, that hardly would account for weight gain - PUHHH-LEEEEZZE!!! Age does NOT equal weight gain anyway. It may be an EXCUSE for SOME people, but it is not the inevitable for all people, give me a break!!!! MK is beautiful and has probably hurt her metabolism, and is drinking too much.
she will be skinny in no time
She does not have well-shaped legs and the horrendous shoes emphasise that. Torn off jeans with uneven, fraying hemline, shirt undone to expose bra, hair that needs a good wash… This woman is a style icon? Classy….
don’t like the shape of her legs
wtf.. those sandals?!
i’d say she definately has put on weight…and enought o tell a difference too!
i still love her tho!
She needs to work out or something-her legs look flabby-no muscle tone at all. Prob where they were so skinny before. I would say she has gained bit to much for her height-she is short so looks dumpy
