Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen make rare appearance at Trent Olsen’s wedding — Mary-kate And Ashley Olsen

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen made a rare public appearance at Trent Olsen’s wedding to Alexis Armistead in Hollywood Hills. The June 26 group photos put the sisters back in view with a family gathering that included Elizabeth Olsen, Courtney Taylor Olsen and Jake Olsen.

The outing landed over six months after their last appearance, when they accepted the American Accessory Designer of the Year award for The Row in November 2025. Mary-Kate Olsen said then, “To our individual buyers, you have been our guiding light for the past 20 years now,” a reminder that their public work has stayed tightly tied to the brand rather than routine appearances.

June 26 family photos

A group photo shared to Instagram showed Mary-Kate Olsen standing among family members, while Ashley Olsen stood nearby between Louis Eisner and David Olsen. In another frame, Mary-Kate Olsen cozied up to the bride and flower girl, and she later embraced her newlywed brother. Photos shared by the bride and groom also showed Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen talking with Courtney Taylor Olsen and Jake Olsen.

That mix of people is the point. The sisters are known for showing up rarely, but Trent Olsen’s wedding pulled multiple branches of the family into the same set of pictures, turning a private milestone into a rare public record of who was there and how they were positioned in it.

Michelle Tanner to The Row

Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen were cast in Full House in 1986, when they were 9 months old, and Ashley Olsen later said they launched The Row in 2006. By then, their public profile had shifted from child acting to a far more controlled business identity, which makes a family wedding photo unusual enough to draw notice on its own.

That distance from public life has been part of the story for years. Dave Olsen said in 1991, “I didn't even want to be bothered with it,” and Ashley Olsen said in 2004, “we’re lucky that we never had those types of parents.” The result is a family that can still appear together, but usually does so on its own terms and in its own images.

Hollywood Hills family turnout

Trent Olsen married Alexis Armistead in Hollywood Hills, and the photos make clear that the event doubled as the clearest recent public check-in on the family. For readers tracking Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, the practical takeaway is simple: the wedding is the new reference point, not a new public schedule.
