There are countless pages on the Internet devoted to telling the difference between Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, but it seems that an explainer is no longer necessary.

While Olivier Sarkozy's maybe bride, 28 was doing her best Kim Kardashian "duck face" pose, her cheekbones and jawbones look especially defined and her lips looked a little plumper. She also looked quite different from her Two of a Kind twin.

Maybe it was the Full House alum's pose. Maybe it was her makeup. Maybe it was the side effects of too much duck face. Maybe the Olsens are just easy targets. Regardless, faster than you can say Michelle Tanner's trademark line, "You got it, dude," social media was on fire with speculation about the fashionista's surprising new look.
