The 2000s was one of the most iconic decades for fashion and pop culture. Trends like capris, Abercrombie-branded tees, and low-rise jeans defined this era as a cringe-worthy time in fashion. Some pieces, like tiny bags, strappy sandals and tube tops have only grown in popularity ten years later. Love it or hate it, Y2K fashion has a nostalgia that is unrivaled by any other era of pop culture. This is why fashion girls continue to look back at the looks of Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and other it-girls. Some of the best places to look for 2000s outfit inspiration are your favorite movies.
- Jenna Rink from ’13 Going on 30′

Jenna Rink’s style embodies everything fun about fashion- bright colors, bold patterns and playful silhouettes.
- Regina George from ‘Mean Girls’

Our favorite mean girl knows how to dress like the leader of the school- to the nines with mini skirts, tiny bags and cardigans.
- Andy Sachs from ‘The Devil Wears Prada’
-
Andy’s post-makeover outfit montage is everything, and it still holds up today- trench coats, slouchy boots and layered necklaces galore.
- Elle Woods from ‘Legally Blonde’
-
Elle Woods is the queen of strappy heels, classic 2000s rhinestone sunglasses and monochromatic outfits (exclusively in pink).
- Lola Steppe from ‘Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen’

Lola is the definition of a city girl in a suburban world; and she brings her drama into every look with fur, fishnets and quirky accessories.
- Roxy Ryan from ‘New York Minute’

Whether you were more Mary-Kate or Ashley, I think everyone can agree that Roxy’s “band tee, but make it fashion” philosophy on fashion worked.
