Can it be that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have some fashion competition? Danielle Steel's daughters, Victoria and Vanessa Traina, are in the same social circles the Olsens are, and they have equally amazing wardrobes to match their jetsetter lifestyle. Basically, the Trainas are taller versions of the Olsens. Everything else — style, attitudes, famous friends — are pretty much the same. Let's compare and contrast . . .

| The Olsens: Mary-Kate and Ashley's avant-garde wardrobes are one of the most coveted in the fashion world.
Style: Though very different from one another, both MK and Ashley have a fashion sense that is uniquely their own. MK takes more risks, while Ashley is more clean cut and chic. What they do share is their love for leather, fur, ruffles, turbans, dramatic heels, and all black. Attitude: When is the last time you saw them smile really big? I can't remember either. The petite sisters are serious but not pompous. Famous Friends: Among the long list of designer and celeb pals are Jenni Kayne, Selma Blair, Giambattista Valli, Christian Louboutin, Calvin Klein, and of course, the Traina sisters. |
The Trainas: Sisters Victoria (left) and Vanessa (right) are the socialites of the century with closets full of unique designer duds and edgy accessories.
Style: Like the Olsens, the Traina sisters don't have much color in their closets. What they do have a lot of are simple and one-of-a-kind party frocks. Victoria's slick style is comparable to Ashley's, and Vanessa's disheveled vibe is similar to MK's. Attitude: They too rarely smile in public. Instead, they're cordial and reserved. Famous Friends: Ever the social butterflies, Vanessa and Victoria's social circle includes Jenni Kayne, Nicole Richie, Tom Ford, Rachel Zoe, Brandon Davis, Vanessa Getty, and of course, the Olsens. |

I don't know who look scarier!
1The Trainas are much more stylish than the Olsens. And they are New Yorkers. The Olsens always look borderline-terrifying.
Fab, you forgot to mention Danielle Steel is Victoria and Vanessa's mother!
2I agree with Vannuccia!
3A friend of Zoe is no friend of mine. That ruined it for me for those trainas gals.
I'm sorry, but the Olsen twins have an empire - you can't compete with that - love them or hate them they've got billions.
Plus, who else can say that Louboutin is a "close friend" JEALOUS!
4The Trainas look more polished.
5I like the Olsens mroe but wow that's a bad pic of them both!
6When comparing the young, fashionable and rich I always pick the Olsens over rich by proxy socialites. Those two earned every dollar of their billions and have a style all their own. I love the risks they take because wrong or right that is what fashion is all about.
7^I totally agree. No one can compare with the Olsens sense of style. Team olsen baby!
8Fairy, Fab did mentioned that detail.
Both sets of sisters are equally stylish in their own ways. They have so much money to spend on amazing clothes and accessories.
9I can't help but say that I am envious.
Ditto to all previous comments regarding the Olsen's.
10It all comes down to the definition of "fashion". I think the Olsens take risks, and the Trainas appear to be more safe. Although I don't always love what the Olsen's wear, they're miles more stylish in that they know who they are and they know what works for them.
11is like I'm seeing double LOL, but I have to agree with AIMEEB, the Trainas are super polished.
12ok. really? you can't compare the two because they are in totally different categories. the olsens head a multi million dollar company and have their own fashion line...
13The Olsens look like they're dressing up for halloween.
14Olsens suck... Wearing fur is disgusting, and they wear A LOT of it.
15I am so OVER the Olsens. As far as I am concerned, they have no talent and look like little martians.
16fleurfairy - it does mention they are Danielle Steel's daughter
17I'd be happy to raid any of their closets!
18you cant really compare them. the olsens worked hard for their sucess the trainas are in the postion they are in because of their mother.
19Mary-kate and Ashley are love.(:
20The Trainias look a little more refined, much more on my style level than the crazy Olsen twins.
21the trainas look better their looks are simple but cute,olsens look scary here
22-sigh- oh sugar. Was that really the only Olsen picture you had? If I had no idea who any of these girls were naturally, the Trainas would be my choice. But let's face it, no one can compete with MK & A. They're the definition of fierce.
23wow ive never even heard of the other sisters.
24MissLys — I know MK and Ashley have much better pictures but I wanted to find something that was comparable to what the Traina sisters were wearing; you know, to show their similarities in terms of fashion. xo.
25LOVE the Olsens, hands down...
26I don't understand why there are so many haters on the twins. I have loved them from Full House and as far as I am concerned they have worked the hardest for what they have. Their fashion sense may not be agreeable with everyone but like some others have said they are fierce and take chances. I am obviously going with the Olsens!
27Ok..that's a bad pic of the olsens! hands down there more fashionable, they're way more famous and have more influence on the fashion world.
28lol the Olsens look like goths.
29i went to school with the trainas. they deffo were divas-in-training. always had the money to buy the best clothes, handbags, etc. enviable, yes. friendly, no.
30Double Trouble!
31The Olsens seem more approachable, considering a point someone up there made about how they maneuvered their business. I won't fault them for the roles they chose as kids cuz there really isn't much of a market for complex child characters. Style-wise, yes, they do take more risks, but sometimes they'd try a bit too hard. Granted, they don't seem to be as publicly "composed" as the Trainas, but they're hounded a lot more by the paparazzi.
