Mary-Kate Olsen attended a screening of The Wackness in New York City ready for battle last night. It was noted by New York Magazine that she appeared jovial at the event, flashing her pearly whites. There was something familiar about her ensemble, a white, silk kimono-esque floor-length gown, cinched with a thick black leather belt. It called to mind the neo-martial arts costume worn by 70’s era Luke Skywalker.

Upon further reflection we realized that Mary-Kate has been given to flights of fancy in the Star Wars vein on more than one occasion. From a full gold encasement at the MET Costume Institute Gala, a la 3CP0 to an organically neutral gown worn to a Calvin Klein show last year Mary-Kate has been either channelling “The Force” or translating late 1970’s fashion milieu along the lines of George Lucas’ vision.
