Before Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen became household names in the fashion world, the sisters had their big break sharing the role of Michelle Tanner on Full House in the early '90s.

Since then, the Olsen twins have become successful entrepreneurs, launching their own fashion lines, The Row and Elizabeth and James. They have also released books, essays and interviews about their enviable lives and careers.

From their iconic '90s looks to their sleek and sophisticated modern style today, the twins have always been trendsetters. Their timeless fashion sense has inspired many, and they continue to set the bar for style and grace. Here we track how the twins (who just so happen to be Geminis, too), have changed significantly over the past three decades in honour of their birthdays later this month.
