If you grew up watching Lizzie McGuire, jamming out to Britney Spears, and copying all of Paris Hilton's outfits, you're about to get a second chance to pull off all those rhinestone-studded, feather-coated, colorful, glitzy outfits you didn't wear the first time around. 2000s fashion trends (a.k.a. Y2K styles that you see everywhere these days) are back for good, so it's time to rewatch Legally Blonde, 13 Going on 30, Bring It On, and Mean Girls for some major fashion inspiration.
All of your favorite celebrities are leaning heavily into Y2K styles in their own ways. Charli D'Amelio loves Juicy Couture, Olivia Rodrigo is always channeling punk-pop energy that reminds us of Avril Lavigne (the pop princess mother), and Bella Hadid tried out the exposed "whale tail" thong. Oh, and Dua Lipa showed off her yoga moves while wearing a sequin bikini and a colorful beaded waist chain — two early 2000s fashion trends wrapped up in one (super flexible) package.
It's time to start your bedazzlers and break out the flip phones (you can bedazzle those, too) because the '00s are truly back. Here are the cutest 2000s trends that deserve a revival in your wardrobe.

The second Kylie Jenner posted a selfie in one of these iconic velour sets, the Juicy Couture tracksuit's quiet retirement was officially over. Dust off your UGG boots and start living the life of luxury, a.k.a. running errands in a full Juicy get-up.
Little tiny plastic heart and butterfly clips are the perfect way to accessorize your hair, Y2K style. Use them to pull back your hair or decorate your ponytail with them in all of their colorful, adorable goodness.
Cargo pants were a fixture in basically every music video from 1999-2003. Spacious pockets were perfect for holding the necessities: frosted lip gloss and a rhinestone-studded BlackBerry.

Nothing says sassy 2000s main character energy like the zebra print & hot pink combo! Zebra print is black and white, so it's practically a neutral, right?
If the necklace reminds you of a colorful beaded creation that you would've made back when you were in preschool, you're on the right track. Think summer camp, candy necklaces, and whimsical charms.

Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high! 🎶 Olivia Rodrigo is a big fan of the Y2K-style butterfly top. Wear this trend as part of a Halloween costume, or just on an average day when you want to totally slay.
Blue, pink, green, yellow – light and rimless sunnies are making a comeback, especially ones with little logo or butterfly detailing on the sides. If you want to go full '00s, match them to a monochromatic look and commit to a single color head-to-toe.
