Neither snow nor rain could keep Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from heading to Barneys New York to support pal Vanessa Traina at the launch of her capsule collection for French contemporary brand Maje. Hilary Swank also braved the inclement Manhattan weather to show her love for Japan at a fundraising event. Even in typically sunny California, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish and Emily Browning had to deal with a downpour as they walked the rain-soaked red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of Sucker Punch.
