The Olsen twins are no strangers to fashion, of course: they successfully pivoted from [child stars](http://time.com/4955625/fuller-house-has-given-up-on-trying-to-get-the-olsen-twins/) sharing the role of the memorably adorable Michelle Tanner on [_Full House_](http://time.com/4352669/full-house-tanner-sale-san-francisco/) to reputed fashion designers with their lines The Row and Elizabeth and James. They’re also [regulars](http://time.com/4762614/met-gala-nicki-minaj-olsens-twins-2017/) at the Met Gala red carpet, appearing annually to spike interest in their whereabouts, especially because they remain generally outside of the celebrity spotlight for the rest of the year. As usual, the internet is alight with interest in their outfit choices for the 2018 Met Gala, which — as is their wont — feature flowing, long gowns and flowing, long hair. (It works pretty well with the evening’s theme of “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” which lends itself to luxe robe-like vestments.) If in the internet’s response is to be believed, looks like we still can’t get enough of the actors we grew up with, and the idiosyncratic signature looks they’ve adopted over the years. > [](https://twitter.com/NYDoorman/status/993648485860806656) > [](https://twitter.com/tim%5F%5Ffitzgerald/status/993646212225163264) > [](https://twitter.com/connorlately/status/993687865761718272) > [](https://twitter.com/X0sara0x/status/993649644914774016) > [](https://twitter.com/ReadHollyWood/status/993687426764890112) > [](https://twitter.com/fleursetart/status/993853604246245376) > [](https://twitter.com/kalkutta2much/status/993654505462890499) The Olsen Twins at the 2018 Met Gala Were a Huge Hit ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5269383/olsen-twins-met-gala-2018/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5269383/olsen-twins-met-gala-2018/"},"headline":"The Olsen Twins Graced the 2018 Met Gala With Their Ethereal Presence","datePublished":"2018-05-08T14:55:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:44.049Z","description":"The Olsen twins remain iconic","url":"https://time.com/5269383/olsen-twins-met-gala-2018/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Met Gala 2018"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt112c251d21fe5f9f/69892fcc929fadb293bf07cb/gettyimages-955761534.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt112c251d21fe5f9f/69892fcc929fadb293bf07cb/gettyimages-955761534.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination Costume Institute Gala - Red Carpet","caption":"Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination Costume Institute Gala - Red Carpet","creditText":"Matt Winkelmeyer/MG18—Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5269383/olsen-twins-met-gala-2018/","name":"The Olsen Twins Graced the 2018 Met Gala With Their Ethereal Presence"}}]}] ```
