Lori Loughlin's daughters, Isabella and Olivia Jade, have been spotted together for the first time since the story of bribes and college entrance exam cheating broke in March.
The pair were thrust into the global spotlight earlier this year as the college admissions scandal broke, and they have been keeping a low profile since.
Yet on Thursday the sisters were snapped arriving at Bootsy Bellows nightclub in West Hollywood as they partied into the late hours.
Out on the scene: Olivia Jade Giannulli, 19, and sister Isabella Giannulli, 20, were spotted together for the first time time the college admissions scandal broke
Isabella, 20, looked edgy and youthful while standing outside the club with a group of their friends wearing a black leather jacket and camouflage pants.

Olivia Jade, 19, went with a similar edgy look in a black leather jacket, black leather pants and a pink top.
The pair were said to have stayed at the nightclub for half an hour before leaving around 2 a.m. to go to a friend's house.
Presley Gerber, the 19-year-old son of supermodel legend Cindy Crawford was among the people who met up with the sisters and their mates, according to ET.

The outing comes after the pair's parents, Fuller House star Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband Mossimo Giannulli, were accused of paying $500,000 in bribes to get both girls admitted into the University Of Southern California as recruits for the crew team.
The Giannullis have pleaded not guilty and have not publicly commented on the charge - which could see them face up to 40 years in prison if found guilty.
A source told ET that the charges were making an impact on their youngest daughter, claiming: 'Olivia is having a very hard time dealing with this, and for the most part she's cut herself off from her mother and is going out and partying a lot.

'Lori and Bella have remained incredibly close throughout [the scandal] and have been a wonderful support to one another.
'Their closest friends feel it's been devastating to watch the effects this situation has had on their family and their relationships.'
However, it has since been alleged that Olivia wasn't merely a pawn in her parents' scheme, but had active knowledge of the illegal activity.
'Olivia fully knew what her parents did to get her into USC, but didn’t think there was anything wrong with it,’ a source told Us Weekly, adding 'She didn’t get into any other California schools.'

The former YouTuber was the butt of derision in the wake of the scandal as old videos resurfaced in which she complained about not liking school and admitted she regularly skipped classes.
Weeks after their arrest, USC said that the academic status of students whose parents were allegedly involved in the college admissions scandal was on hold and 'under review.'
Loughlin and her husband were among 50 people busted in a wide-ranging investigation into alleged schemes to get wealthy children into elite universities by falsifying SAT scores and college applications.

Some of those arrested, including fellow actor Felicity Huffman, have already struck plea deals with prosecutors.
Huffman, who is best known for her work on the hit TV show Desperate Housewives, pleaded guilty in federal court last week to paying an admissions consultant $15,000 to have a proctor correct her older daughter’s answers on the SAT.
She also considered going through with the plan for her younger daughter before ultimately deciding not to, authorities say.
Sentencing was set for September 13.

Because she agreed to plead guilty, prosecutors said they would recommend four months in prison, but the judge could choose not to put her behind bars at all.
Huffman is one of 14 parents who agreed to plead guilty in what has become known as ‘Operation Varsity Blues,’ the biggest admissions scandal ever prosecuted in the United States.
Some parents like Loughlin and Giannulli have decided to fight the charges.
