Elizabeth Olsen and Boyd Holbrook The 25-year-old got engaged last month, just a few weeks after Mary-Kate said "yes" to her 44-year-old French boyfriend Olivier Sarkozy. When asked about a possible wedding date and coinciding with her older sister, Elizabeth replied, "No, I just told her she gets to pick a date first!" The Los Angeles-born beauty also revealed what it was like growing up with her famous sisters. "Because my sisters were so grounded, it helped me be grounded," she added. "They never got caught up in things. I did live a charmed life."

"I choose not to have that specific kind of attention." I definitely know what kind of lifestyle I want to have. Some people recognize you for your work, not for being pictured going to clubs. So, I try and keep that kind of profile that people know you from your work and that's it." Older sister Mary-Kate is yet to speak about her engagement to Olivier — the half brother of former French president Nicolas Sarkozy. 

Her huge vintage engagement ring designed by Cartier did all the talking however, as she was spotted debuting it at Paris Fashion Week.
