You already know that reminiscing about the Disney Channel Original Movies of yore is one of our hobbies. And while some of the clothes these teen idols wore back in the day are near horrific now, there are still some classic looks that we love. So, that’s why we dug through the archives and found the 12 best outfits from our favorite Disney Channel flicks. Enjoy and feel free to replicate any and all of these ensembles.
1. Those velour jumpsuits from The Cheetah Girls
Who didn’t run out to Limited Too and buy a velour jumpsuit after watching The Cheetah Girls for the first time?
2. Sharpay’s OG High School Musical look
That pink floral blazer. Those stark white pants. The shiny accessories. Sharpay cemented her girly-girl fashionista status with this outfit from the first HSM.
3. All the 2004 touches of Stuck in the Suburbs
Sporty jerseys and denim jackets—we still totally wear those things today! But we may have to nix the overplucked brows and big hoop earrings.
4. The funky fashions in Get a Clue
So we’ve mostly forgotten this 2002 Lindsay Lohan-starrer. But leave it to a spy movie to give us all the insane fashion we could ever dream up. Subtle? No. But just out there enough to be cool? Oh yeah!
5. Demi Lovato goes Camp Rock casual
Mitchie Torres was the queen of casual in the Camp Rock movies. Her cheery yet effortless outfit is something we could easily recreate.
6. Dressed to impress in Princess Protection Program
The best thing about DCOMs? You can always count on a homecoming, formal or prom to act as an excuse for the ladies to get all dolled up. Selena Gomez’s mint dress is one we wish we’d had for our high school dances.
7. Calling all Belles from Princess Protection Program
This gown is not only fit for a princess, but it brings to mind one in particular—Belle, duh! Real sneaky, Disney.
8. Pink camo in Cadet Kelly
Leave it to Lizzie McGuire to make you want to go to military school. Pink camo with tons of sparkle—sign us up!
9. That ’50s getup from Smart House
Yes, we like the crazy Smart House lady’s ’50s housewife look. It’s retro, okay?
10. Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior’s traditional attire
If you’re going to be a female warrior and run for homecoming queen simultaneously, you might as well look good doing it.
11. That futuristic garb from Zenon
We hope this is the kind of style we have to look forward to in the future. We’re all for the bright colors, metallics and goofy accessories. Plus, they’re basically just wearing leggings, so how could we not be on board?
12. Everything Gabriella ever wore in HSM 3
We invalidate your “this isn’t technically a DCOM” argument. Because every piece of clothing that big movie budget afforded Gabriella was more than worth it. #TroyandGabriellaFOREVER
Which of these DCOM looks is your fave, collegiettes?
