History has been made. While Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have yet to join Instagram, the social media–shy twins made a baby step by posting their first-ever public selfie.
The former child stars, now 29, took over Sephora’s Instagram account on Wednesday, April 13, to give fans a glimpse of what goes into their lives as the designers and creative directors of their fashion line, Elizabeth & James, and its accompanying fragrances, Nirvana White and Nirvana Black.
“First public selfie ever 😕 😜@ElizandJames #SephoraTakeover,” the stylish sisters wrote alongside a black-and-white pic of themselves wearing shades, matching sweaters and pouts.
Aside from sharing their monumental selfie, Mary-Kate and Ashley also posted three more shots sure to excite fans. The actresses-turned-style icons uploaded a “beauty goals” vision board followed by a ‘gram of their lunches (salads, or as they call it, “refuel”) and most recently, handbag material swatches.
Since the advent of social media and photo sharing apps, the notoriously private siblings have shunned any form of personal online presence.
“We’ve spent our whole lives trying to not let people have that accessibility, so it would go against everything we’ve done in our lives to not be in the public,” Mary-Kate told Vogue.com in 2011, while Ashley added: “[Twitter] gives me anxiety.”
