Watch: Ashley Olsen's First Red Carpet Appearance in Over 2 Years

Ashley Olsen is showing off her eye-catching style on a red carpet for the first time in quite a while.

On Thursday, Sept. 23, the 35-year-old actress-turned-fashion mogul walked the carpet for the YES 20th Anniversary Celebration at The Maybourne Beverly Hills. The event honored Young Eisner Scholars, a non-profit organization committed to supporting strong scholars from economically challenged neighborhoods. 

YES' founder is former David Geffen Company president Eric Eisner, who is the father of Ashley's longtime boyfriend, Louis Eisner

For the big night, Ashley went with a dark ensemble, including a long black coat. The festivities included a performance from Christina Aguilera, while Walt Disney Company executive chairman Bob Iger and his wife, journalist Willow Bay, were special honorees. 

The last time Ashley walked a red carpet was for the 2019 CFDA Awards in June 2019, meaning it's been more than two years since her most recent one. At that event, she was joined by twin sister Mary-Kate Olsen.

Before that, Ashley walked the red carpet for the Met Gala back in May 2019, when she and Mary-Kate both wore black leather on the fashion industry's most pivotal night. In keeping with the "Camp" theme, Ashley was decked out in a long leather coat dress, while Mary-Kate opted for a leather jacket on top of a leather skirt.

And in April 2019, the two stars, who tend to eschew the limelight, also walked the red carpet together for Youth America Grand Prix's 20th Anniversary Gala at Lincoln Center in New York City. This time, Ashley rocked a black blazer and baggy dress pants, while Mary-Kate chose a black wool coat and red heels.

As for the star's love life, Ashley and Louis have been dating for years. Although she and the 33-year-old artist don't frequently make public appearances together, they were photographed getting affectionate during a night out at NYC restaurant Balthazar in July.
