Is it just the baggy clothing, or does it look as though she has gained a bit of weight recently?! What do you all think?

I like her but not digging the outfit.
looking frumpy, if she gained weight it was much needed anyway =)
she defnalley gained some weight
Why is she disguised as Cousin Itt?
Argghhh, it should be a rule that you can’t make negative comments about someone recovering from an ed. It’s such an obstacle to overcome and it takes so much. She looks great and healthy!
she looks so much better now. I don’t like the outfit, but it isn’t super horrible.
NO! She looks skinny as usual. No difference. No weight gain!!
what the heck is she wearing???? its been 90 degrees in nyc all week. she is insane.
It doesn’t sit well with me to be featuring girls/women who have had known ED’s, just seems a little off to make comment knowing that they have had to overcome alot, epsecially if there is a weight gain from someone who has suffered an ED.
She has gained more than was needed to regain her health. I don’t know why a “fashionista” who is disgustingly rich can’t dress better than she does!
I don’t want to discuss whether or not she has gained weight because I don’t think it’s appropriate to discuss a recovering anorexic’s weight gain. I do like seeing pics of her though
She looks healthy to meeee
Love her! I think she has gained weight, she may actually weigh more than ashley now.. She looks healthy though and happy, which is good obviously!
@Heather…I totally agree. Fact is it’s likely that 80% of the “celebs” on here have some type of ed but have never owned up to it an/or been outed. As for the Olsen hags, I don’t have a problem being bitchy or insulting to such shameless fur-whores. Having said all that, Mary Kate looks like the strung-out pudgy product of Nick Nolte mating with Kirstie Alley. Mary Kate is hideous and irrelevant. And fat and mean.
Puhleese she never had anorexia. What a joke. My sister was at the same rehab she was and she had a COKE problem. COKE, not anorexia. She never got emaciated, only coke-skinny. You guys need to chill out and not believe everything you read in tabloids.
can’t the girl afford a few decent clothes?
What a horrendous outfit!! Is she trying to look like an old bag lady?
Anyway, if def looks like she may have gained weight. Why doesn’t she ever dress cute? She has a great body, she should show it off!!
How are the Olsen twins evenm considered fashion icons. They look comfy all the time, but they dress like slobs also, it mystifies me…
even*
I think she looks great, though I’m not sure about that colour in the heat though
i’m with chaz on that.
this girl has had to endure her anorexia in the public eye and now that she’s gained a noticeable amount she will be scrutinized once again. poor thing can’t win and it’s disgusting the way we are as humankind.
She still has a horrible fashion sense.
You can’t really tell but from what I can see her thighs seem a little bit bigger. She’s looking good though. Especially compared to her anorexic days. She looked like a walking skeleton. Her face is much fuller now but she still looks good.
I’m not going to comment on her weight, she gained yadayadayada. I just want to express my sadness for the money that goes to her closet.
She had an ED. Leave her alone.
It’s a heatwave in NYC and she’s dressed for late fall. Nutso!
She finally looks healthy! But lets not kid ourselves, how long will it take for her to fall back into her old scary skinny days. MK Olsen will never be the poster child for a healthy body.
That poor hair!!! I agree she looks terrible!
I don’t think it’s appropriate to post about people *known* to have been treated for eating disorders.
I understand that many more may have them, but I don’t expect you to speculate. This girl, on the other hand, is publicly known to have had the illness. IMO, you should remove this post.
I think she gained a lot of weight while her sister lost weight.
The ubiquitous drink in hand…..
Yeah. She did gain weight. Months ago.
And are people really being serious about not “diggin’” the outfit?
It’s not even an outfit..
I don’t think she tried to look good..
She definately has gained quite a bit of weight; I’m sure that’s why she’s wearing the big, sloppy outfit.
why is she wearing so much? It’s been in the 90’s and disgustingly humid!
usually I like the outfits of the Olsens, even the bag-lady, hobo ones but this… not really.
And yes, she seems to have gained some weight… but she looks good weight-wise.
Always looks so miserable.
Usually I like the Olsens outfits, even the bag-lady, hobo ones but this… not so much.
And yes, she seems to have gained weight but she looks good (weight-wise).
Saw these pics on another site….she’s actually coming from yoga class, so the outfit makes perfect sense. I think she looks great. Love the hair!
You got it, dude!
she was anorexic, when you start eating again hence RECOVERED, you naturally gain. Shes getting healthy and better and has recovered so all you idiots making fun of her weight are also making fun of the fact that shes recovered. That is low and pathetic and also sad. Stupid idiotic people.
Does anyone else out ther drink GT’s kombucha? It looks like she has a bottle of it in this pic. It can be used for weight gain or weight loss, depending on how you use it.
Yum…Kombucha!!
The rest of the picture reaks of lazy, sloppy lack of personal hygiene…
Those of you who are upset with me for posting this should realize that it was never proven what Mary-Kate went into treatment for. The tabloids claimed it was anorexia, (and tabloids are often wrong which is why I rarely post about their stories anymore) but others said it was a substance abuse. Since I post about others on here who have been in rehab, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal to post about Mary-Kate. Thanks.
i think it’s just the baggy clothing.
She still has a small waist.
And why is MK such a big deal? No one cares that Christina Ricci is a recovered/ing anorexic? Nor does anyone care about Donatella Versace’s daughter.
And you never know who else is hiding an eating disorder anyway.
rian i agree… further more no one said she looked fat, made fun of her weight or anything so everyone needs to chill out.. if someone said ‘omg she is soooo chubbby and looked sooomuch better anorexic’ then THAT would be horrible.
I don’t think she’s gained any body weight, it always seems to go right to her face. or perhaps its coke bloat? just sayin’
i agree with jade!
Her hip/thigh area does look a little bigger. With the baggy pants, you can’t really tell. The Olsens do look like bag ladies every time they go out for coffee, but they do clean up nice.
It’s because she used to be the poster girl for pro anorexic sites. All the ana girls are up in arms because she gained some weight and feel protectiv of her. Sad sad sad
@ imagene… I love GT’s Kombucha, I like to use it for overall health and as a bit of an appetite suppressant. How would one use it for weight GAIN? I want to make sure I DON’T use it in that way!
Somehow this disheveled, dirty look can front as fashionable because it’s coming from MK? I’ve kinda never understand the fascination with her… Do we need to remember that the Olsen’s only REAL claim to fame was Full House? I get that they’re a conglomerate now, but it’s all stemming from rehearsed lines and tacky 90s baby acting. She’s no style icon of mine.
I believe that a lot of her ‘alleged’ weight gain is this atrocious outfit. All very, very bulky & I agree…why, oh why is wearing all the heavy looking clothes since it’s been sweltering (in the 90’s & humid/muggy for the last week and a half!!) I agree with another poster who says that M-K was treated for cocaine. Before she could enter Cirque Lodge (in Utah)…her family had to fly her to this very private and very remote detox center for 2 days located in Georgia. This place (in Georgia) only houses 12 women at a time. Afterwards, she had a counsellor or body guard to accompany her to Cirque Lodge. Her dad had found a LOT of cocaine in her night table drawer while she was at a Lakers’ Game w/then boy friend, David Katzenberg (sp). A few hours later she was headed for GA then to Utah 2 days later. However, a lot these girls have ..like “transfer addictions”. M-K was using the coke to keep her weight skeletal. Cirque Lodge has had issued numerous comments that they are a facility for substance abuse (alcohol / drugs)! Her “people” are very powerful & well paid and so the coke issue stories were “squashed”. To be honest, think she had BOTH addicitons.
Celebs don’t have to be glamourous all the time, MY GOD! Why can’t she go comfy casual sometimes like every other human being! And I agree with Heather, i don’t think people should say negative things about her, she’s recoving from an ED and she’s done amazingly well, she looks awesome!
Her face looks fuller. Hard to tell if it is weight gain though.
I don’t think she’s gained- I think it’s the baggy clothing and the illusion of weight gain.
And to Cindy- you are so right!
Seattle!I agree!!i love kombucha and use it as an appeetite supressant!How do you use it for gain?!ahh! i hope i am not too!! Imagene please give us the scoop!
I don’t care how cutting-edge she is, she should have enough sense to balance out her proportions. Either wear a fitted top with those baggy sweats or vice versa. The overall ensemble gives her the appearance of looking boxy and puffy.
She looks good for someone leaving a yoga class. I’m with Kianna — the heavy, bulky clothes overwhelm her small frame (she is a midget) and make her look bigger than she is.
They love dressing like bag ladies, don’t they?
I looooove her bag!
Anyone know what it is?
I liked her better when she was thinner and dressed to show how thin she was.
@Barbie – I agree.
From her face and her thigh in the second pic I would say it looks like she’s gained a lot, but the baggy clothes could be deceiving.
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR NOT COMMENTING ABOUT HER WEIGHT GAIN SINCE SHES OVERCOMING ED WE SHOULD B CONGRATULATING HER ON WEIGHT GAIN NOT BASHING HER!!! WAY TO GO MK
I love her, she is an amazing woman, they both are. Underneathe all those clothes I can’t really tell but she’s definetly not big by any means, she’s probably got a great body under all of that.
Waste of space. She tries so hard to be something that she will never be. She is just a bland little girl.
Hey guys, would you like to date a cougar? Or are you a cougar yourself? Okay, no matter you are looking for an NSA, FWB or serious relationship. You’ll want to check this out:**== Matchcougar-c O m ==**It’s where cougars and younger men can meet(Cougar is the slang for woman who is mature, experienced and want to date a younger man).
I don’t mind this post. I feel way more sympathy for the potentially dozens of celebs who suffer in silence….no one’s been that rude about her anyway.
baggy pants are unflattering on people with short legs. i have short legs, and if i wear them i look even shorter and.. box-y. she kinda looks like she’s put on weight (in the face), but probably not as much as it looks here. i have no idea if that made sense. haha sorry!
the “older” and yes unfortunately thinner MK seemed to be ‘prouder’ by wearing clothing that fitted her and clothing that was ‘fashionable’…nowadays she just has lost that so called fashionesta edge she had.
I think she looks beautiful, and much better then I could ever in my gym sweats–and whether she’s recovering from an eating disorder to drug addiction she’s looking healthier and that’s what’s important.
i think she has gained some…. but she looks better this way.
she has gained weight, but yeah shes overcome something words cant possibly explain.
and the fashionista was just because she was underweight.
i mean look at li-lo, she has become somesort of icon, specially here in the UK she is plastered over elle magazine, coincidentally apparent to her weightloss.
yeah maybe i’m dellusional as to the concept(s)of ‘beauty’, but the industry, they cant even bring themselves to admit it, and the worst thing is everyone knows how it works. so fuckign predictable.
She has gained and she looks to be a normal and healthy weight. As per posting someone who may have had an ED, so what? Anyone in the public eye will be looked at, period…if they are doing well or not and if they have had issues in the past or not.
my favorite!!! love her!!! do more posts please
she has one of the prettiest faces ever.
she had great petite body too. the pijama shes wearing doesnt show it though. it is ok to dress comfy sometimes jeez leave her alone.
ZZZzzzzz
What the hell is she wearing?! Its sweltering hot in NY.
My guess is its the baggy clothing
Its wonderful to see her at a healthy weight!
Usually, even when I don’t like her outfits, I find them interesting most of the time. Here, she just looks frumpy. A bit like a middle-age high school teacher that just returned from a self-discovery trip to Thailand.
And I’m pretty certain she ‘just’ had a coke problem, getting really thin was a side effect, so yeah, as someone above said, she’s definitely fair game.
I can’t tell if she has gained much or if she just gained a little but has puffy cheeks…
Troll.
I don’t think she’s trying to look fashionable. I think she’s trying to recover. If you’ve watched her closely over the years, it seems clear she struggles with an ED. She may also struggle with drugs and who knows what else–bu that’s likely alongside an ED.
Rian, please do more posts of her.
What’s everyone going on about that Mary-Kate Olsen said she went into rehab for drug addiction and her having anorexia was just a rumour? It was the other way around. Mary-Kate claims she entered treatment for anorexia. Although, some people who recieved treatment at the same rehab facility alongside Mary-Kate say it was just a cover-up. I also heard that workers at the facility thought it was a disgrace that Mary-Kate was making a mockery of the illness, so to speak. I personally think she has/had cocaine addiction and anorexia. The girl admits that she suffers from ADD, too. I think she’s just an all round mess.
she looks lovely! the outfit is relaxed and stylish.
Love her. She always looks great.
So it’s acceptable to make comments about Hillary Duff’s weight, but not MK’s? Stupid.
for weight loss you should drink kombucha before or during a meal, for weight gain drink kombucha directly after eating. I’m not 100% sure on this, but there is plenty of info on the internet, just type in kombucha and weight gain or loss. Some sites state that if you are currently underweight, it may result in weight gain because that is a healthier, natural weight for your frame??? I just recommend drinking plenty of purified water if you are drinking kombucha, that has helped me.
Frankly , with all of the scrutiny those kids grew up with , like Ashley recently said, “I’m surprised I didn’t end up like Britney”. Not the most tactful quote, but I’d agree with her. Those kids could be alot worse off mentally. MK isn’t as seemingly well adjusted as Ashley, but she could be a much bigger wreck. They both have beautiful faces. I’m sure her body will adjust itself eventually.
She does look healthier.
Thanks Imagene
. Good to know. I usually drink it on an empty stomache in the morning in replacement of coffee, followed later by fruit. That’s my AM routine. It definately gives me energy and squelches my appetite. It’s interesting stuff..at what all it’s supposed to do. I do know that it sure has an addicting taste! So refreshing!
She is weary heavy sweats to they make you look fat. She must be covering up for some reason.
Eh, she needn’t worry – her look isn’t really dependent on weight as she always goes for such oversize clothes regardless. Think she manages to pull off most outfits bizarre as they are.
I think Mary-Kate Olsen looks slim however I worry that she is wearing such large clothes in the dead of summer. Also just because a person is wealthy doesn’t mean they can’t wear sweats, for god sake
let up! She is NOT on a red carpet she is getting a coffee get a grip.
And for people reguarding that she did/did not have an eating disorder that is for her and her family to know. However in an issue of Elle she openly discussed her battle, so there.
I think MK is a wonderful role model because she is working on it, and that is that.
@ She doesn’t have anorexia b.s you were probably in rehab. i love how everyone knows someone who was in rehab. I bet it was anorexia, if it was coke they would worry more about her partying.
snore. i’m bored she used to be my fav fashion wise, but she’s just lost it…bummer
She looks a HELL LOT better now. If only she weren’t dressed like a hobo all the time. I know it’s her style, but this is just plain sloppy.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with posting someone who has had an ED. I think that most female celebs have suffered some form of an ED at some point and all of them have felt the pressure to be thin and perfect. I don’t think it’s fair to make negative comments about anyone’s body – but we all do it because we have our own issues with weight etc.
Rian just post things – she doesn’t encourage people make the nasty comments and even though suggesting weight gain might be a negative thing for someone who had an ED to hear (even if it’s not intended that way) I somehow doubt Mary-Kate frequents the skinny website to see what people are saying about her thighs.
I find the Olsen twins, especially Mary Kate, do not inspire a lot of great fashion ideas like they seem to think they do. This outfit in itself is wrong on so many levels.
@Connie and KELSO… so right! She gained and got heavier two years ago, and still we have people saying, “but she’s so skinny!” No, she is not. Not anymore, not for awhile. Nor, is she fat, but when she is on her “chubbier” end of the scale, she tends to shy away from the public eye and wear baggy clothing, etc. It is quite obvious she is not dressing for some Montagish photo op here, or in other pics from the last couple of years, which is all the better! That, I have no problem with whatsoever, and being a short girl, I feel the pain of every pound gained being completely obvious. What I do not like is her ignorant comments about the recession… also, her fashion sense, sometimes, but big points for doing what you want and not following the rules.
I always feel that judging someone based on a baggy outfit is unfair. I do not think she looks like she is starving as she has in past years though.
I actually work and live in Tribeca and occaisonally spot Mary-Kate around. She always looks the same, tiny and under the influence. The first time I saw her I was actually amazed at how small she was in person. She looked about 90 pds! The last time I saw her was in Whole Foods and her cart contained what looked like fruit, veggies, and yogurt… This picture just isn’t flattering.
CHERNOBYL
She’s gained a LOT of weight..but she’s helathy looking here, and that’s all that matters. Heck, she can gain some more if it helps, and she’ll still look good. Her waist is so tiny still, just a lil healthy pudge there would even her out…
Actually, its possible she is wearing the clothing to cover up any recent weight loss???
^There are actually recent photos of her on the beach and a number of other photos in more revealing clothes which would confirm her weight gain.
In any case, I imagine it might take her body (and mind) *many* years to normalize, so I just hope she can remain patient–and that she is in fact healthier.
Mary Kate looks to be hiding her body. She still has a problem. This goes beyond just ‘fashion sense’.
Ashley looks good, comparatively.
she dresses this way because it’s near impossible to be comfortable with gained weight when you have an e.d.
she might have ‘overcome’ it but the distorted body image is most likely still there. after being so thin then to a kind of average weight, it REALLY feels like you weigh 200 pounds. it’s hell i know.
she looks GOOD though. she should show off her more womanly body now.
i love her and shes just so funny
i agree with everyone as a pirson who use to have an eating disorder i am telling u u should not make bad comments about her not that i see any reson for u too she looks healthy and good as for the outfit mary-kate always had a quirky sence of style wich makes her very beloved in the fashion endustery ,she waeres what she wants whene she wants and i think we can respect that
