This celebrity sighting is giving us ‘90s nostalgia.

Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted making a rare public appearance with her hubby Olivier Sarkozy at the "Take Home A Nude" annual auction at Sotheby's in New York.

Olsen wore a black ensemble with lace detailing at the bottom, as well as white shoes. Her husband donned a grey suit, a light blue shirt and a tie.

The event was hosted by the New York Academy of Art and honored the painter John Alexander. According to the organization's website, the event offered cocktails and an auction followed by dinner.

Olsen wasn't the only celebrity in attendance. Naomi Watts also made an appearance and wore a black dress with colorful lines from the Christian Dior Resort 2018 collection.

"I have a husband, two step-kids and a life; I have to go home and cook dinner," the designer told NET-A-PORTER.com's digital magazine, The EDIT. "I run on the weekend. You find the thing that helps you relax and if you don't have it, you have to look for it. Or you get burned out and then you're not productive."

It's not every day we get a glimpse into this couple's relationship. Check out these photos to see a few of their precious moments.

In addition to making limited public appearances, Olsen has yet to make an appearance on Fuller House, the remake of the ‘90s sitcom Full House in which she and Ashley Olsen played Michelle Tanner. And while fans have expressed hope that she would make a return, Jeff Franklin, the creator of Full House and Fuller Housedoesn't seem to be holding his breath

"Personally, I've given up asking them," Franklin told TVLine. "The door is open, but I'm not going to be calling them anymore to invite them. They just don't seem interested in coming. It's been three years of invitations, so they know the door is open. It's up to them to decide if they want to come play or not."
