11 Riveting Teen People Covers That Immortalized 1999

    A look back to 15 years ago when all we cared about were frosted tips and crop tops.

    1. December 1998/January 1999: Jennifer Love Hewitt and Brandy assumed people still cared about what they did last summer.

    2. February 1999: Justin Timberlake's ramen noodle hair and the rest of NSYNC gave their most intimate interview ever.

    3. March 1999: Alicia Silverstone opened up about her past problems — which I think was code for regretting her appearance in Batman and Robin.

    4. April 1999: Lauryn Hill opened up about fame, all while rocking a ribbed turtleneck, an essential late-'90s fashion staple.

    5. May 1999: Drew Barrymore brought assistant manager at the Gap realness to her cover shoot.

    6. June/July 1999: In news to make you feel old: Nick Carter, Monica, and Britney Spears were all stars under 21.

    7. August 1999: Will Smith tried to make Wild Wild West happen.

    8. September 1999: 98 Degrees gave an exclusive interview, which I assume was about tank tops and frosted tips.

    9. October 1999: Gotta be honest, Sarah Michelle Gellar looked kinda sleepy on the cover. Maybe she was daydreaming about how she would change the world.

    10. November 1999: Jennifer Love Hewitt made an important style choice by wearing an oh-soooo-cute-then crop top with a long skirt on her cover.

    11. December 1999/January 2000: Christina prepared us for the year 2000, by looking like she was wearing 1960s wallpaper.
