Mary-Kate Olsen spent the past weekend in Montreal filming her latest movie, Beastly. Adapted from the YA novel of the same name, which in turn is adapted from the fairy tale Beauty & the Beat, the film also stars High School Musical alum Vanessa Hudgens.

Due to copyright issues, I cannot post the photos of MK filming here. However, you can check them out at Olsen Files. MK looked great ( and very witch-like) in her dramatic black coat and dark eye make-up.

Mary-Kate was also seen hanging out on set out of costume. She wore pink sunglasses and a grey sweater and hid her face from the paparazzi.

On Sunday afternoon, MK was spotted on a coffee run in downtown Montreal wearing a striped orange and grey sweater.

Beastly is expected to hit theatres in July 2010. It’s over a year away but I’m already excited to see Mary-Kate on the big screen again!

Mary-Kate Olsen made an appearance at the same red carpet event as Ashley last night - the premiere of The Hangover. The sisters walked the red carpet separately and both showed off their individual style and sunny smiles. Ashley’s boyfriend Justin Bartha stars in the film about a bachelor party gone wrong. Justin plays Doug, the grrom-to-be, who gets lost during the drunken escapades. The next morning, it becomes the groomsmen’s quest to find the lost man before his fiance finds out.

Mary-Kate looked great in a blazer, a TopShop dress, pink Lennon sunglasses and Prada heels. Her hair looks shiny and healthy and I love that both she and Ashley flashed big smiles for the camera. I hope they enjoyed the film!

MK has her own film project in the works now, the independent movie Meskada filming starts in New York in a few days. I’m really excited to see Mary-Kate back on the big screen. Hopefully we’ll hear of more 2009 projects soon!

Mary-Kate Olsen and her boyfriend Nate Lowman were spotted grabbing coffee on Thursday morning. Later that day, MK would be seen at LAX airport with her sister, Ashley. Mary-Kate and Nate seemed to be in a rush - I guess MK was trying to get to the airport! - and MK appeared a bit put off by the cameras.

Mary-Kate looked quirky and cute in her motorcycle boots, leather jacket and Indiana Jones-inspired hat! I recently bought this faux leather jacket because I’ve been liking MK’s leather look for a while! Admitting this makes me feel a little silly!

I wonder what Mary-Kate and Ashley are going to be up to in Los Angeles? Hopefully some press for the Row menswear line and Elizabeth & James’ Fall 2009 line!

After attending the Costume Institute Gala this Monday night, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen hit the after-party at Bungalow 8, one of their favorite New York City nightspots. Ashley’s boyfriend Justin Bartha joined the girls there too.

Ashley and Justin didn’t change from their Gala wear. I hope Ash took good care of her pristine white dress! Can you imagine going to a nightclub wearing that? I sure can’t!

Mary-Kate changed out of her vintage LaCroix dress. I don’t blame her. While the dress was beautiful, I’m sure it’s not the best thing to be wearing for a fun night out!

MK and Ashley have both been spotted out and about in NYC this week. I don’t have access to them, but you can see MK running errands in Soho here and Ashley hitting the gym near her apartment here.

Mary-Kate Olsen opted for period glamour as she donned Lacroix at last night’s Costume Institute Gala. The dress, adorned in metallic lace and silver-embroidered bustier-basque, was definitely a bold move and I think MK pulled it off.

This year’s theme was “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion”, which celebrated the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibit of the same name. The exhibit celebrates the role of the model in fashion, as a model, a muse and more. It’s supposed to be spectacular, so if you’re in New York any time soon, be sure to check it out.

MK and Ash opted for very different looks this year. Whose do you like better? Whose would you be more inclined to wear? And why didn’t Nate come?

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen both looked smashing at the Art of Elysium presents Bright Lights New City event at the Jane in New York city on May 1st. The party featured a performance by Santigold and saw guests such as Vanessa Traina, Ciara, Milla Jovovich, Agyness Deyn and Eva Mendes rocking out for a good cause.

The event was a New York City first for the Hollywood-based charity. The Art of Elysium connects artists and musicians with children battling serious diseases and gives them an opportunity to learn about and explore different creative outlets. The evening was co-hosted by Joy Bryant and raised a lot of money for a worth cause.

MK looked stunning in a menswear tuxedo jacket, original booties and a pink snakeskin clutch. The clutch matched boyfriend Nate Lowman’s pink and purple tie-dyed shirt! Ashley opted for a more casual, yet more classic look with black jeans, a white tank and a grey sweater. I’m so happy to see Ashley out and about again, I’ve missed her!

Immediately after attending the Tribeca Film Festival Women Filmmakers Brunch on Thursday, Mary-Kate Olsen joined her sister Ashley Olsen for the 16th annual Women of Distinction Luncheon.

The luncheon, which was held at the Waldorf Astoria, honors women who have made a difference in film and television arts. They were founded in 1993 by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

Mary-Kate Olsen did some jury duty yesterday as she presented at the Tribeca Film Festival Awards Night party. Mary-Kate was joined on stage by Debra Messing and the two of them unveiled the winner for the category they judged, Best Narrative Short.

The 2009 winner of Best Narrative Short was The North Road (La route du Nord),, a film by Carlos Chahine from France.

“We ultimately chose the winner for its poetic, truthful and unsentimental portrait of an exile’s return home to deal with his father’s death 20 years earlier,” the jury said in a statement. “The director, Carlos Chahine, portrays the absurdities and contradictions of how we deal with grief through humor, freshness and subtlety.”

MK was very vocal in the press about how honored and pleased she was to be a jury member. I hope she thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Lots of great films, filmmakers and actors were honored at the ceremony last night. You can see a complete list of winners here. The film festival continues until May 3rd.

Mary-Kate Olsen was one of several celebrities and Tribeca Film Festival jurors who came out this afternoon for the Women’s Filmmaker Brunch. The event, which was held at City Hall in NYC, celebrated women in film and women filmmakers. Other attendees included Debra Messing, Julianna Margulies and Parker Posey.

MK looked great in her leather jacket, black booties and hot pink paneled skirt. I’m loving the bursts of color she’s been wearing recently. She chose purple for the Matthew Williamson for H&M launch party earlier this week. The simple no-fuss makeup and hair cap the look of perfectly.

I love that MK is a Tribeca Film Festival juror! She’s been out and about so much lately. I only wish I could say the same for Ashley. Ash has been laying really low in Los Angeles these past few days

Mary-Kate Olsen and her boyfriend Nate Lowman spent some time together yesterday afternoon in New York. They enjoyed a quiet breakfast together in Tribeca before walking around together for an hour or so.

MK looked cute in a n oversized sweater and gladiator sandals. She carried the same bag she had at the Matthew Williamson for H&M launch party the night before.

MK has been one busy lady lately! I love how unfazed her and Nate are by the cameras. They used to be much more private. I think that proves just how secure and comfortable they are in their relationship!
