Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen attended the CFDA 2013 nominations event in NYC yesterday. The sisters weren't up for any awards this year but they showed their support for the new round of nominees. Earlier in the day, Mary-Kate and Ashley attended to business around the city. The two designers have been taking meetings all over town since Ashley's return from Paris Fashion Week a few days ago. Mary-Kate skipped out on the event this year, catching a Knicks game with her boyfriend, Olivier Sarkozy, instead.

The Olsens may find themselves in a different audience soon, as their younger sister Elizabeth Olsen will star as Juliet in an off-Broadway production of Shakespeare's classic play. Elizabeth will take the stage when Romeo and Juliet opens the Classic Stage Company's 2013/2014 season in the Fall.
