    1. Debbie Thornberry from The Wild Thornberries

    Nickelodeon

    As a kid, you thought Debbie was the height of cool. She had a cell phone, she sassed her parents, and she had ripped jeans. Plus that purple lip proved she was way ahead of the game.

    2. Alex, Sam and Clover from Totally Spies

    Marathon Media Group

    These girls' fashion game was on point all the time, and you spent the whole episode dreaming about owning one of their cool gadgets.

    3. Jane Lane from Daria

    MTV

    Jane and Daria were your hipster goals before you even knew what that meant. Anyone who can pull off an oversized red blazer like this is a winner in your childhood eyes.

    4. Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh!

    Toei Animation

    Yugi was one fly motherfucker. Look at that hair, for starters. Plus how does he have time to get such badass coats tailored for him when he's busy winning card battles left right and centre?

    5. Charlotte Pickles from Rugrats

    Nickelodeon

    Angelica's mom's power suits, high ponytail and flawless makeup were everything you aspired to be when you grew up.

    6. Gerald Johanssen from Hey Arnold!

    Nickelodeon

    Gerald was so cool that he made Arnold look like a huge dweeb. From his hair to his oversized jersey, he made up about 95% of the street cred for that duo.

    7. Harley Quinn from Batman

    DC Comics

    She may have been a baddie, but you can't really deny how crazy awesome she was. That unitard...

    8. Misty from Pokemon

    OLM, Inc.

    Misty is probably the only person to ever pull of a side pony without looking like an idiot. Plus she rocked a crop top and suspenders like they were the height of fashion. But maybe they were in Johto...?

    9. Penny from The Proud Family

    Disney Channel

    This cool AF feminist teen is probably the only person who has made you want to wear a pink and maroon power suit with school shoes.

    10. Gadget from Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers

    Walt Disney Television

    Gadget is the coolest mouse who ever lived (sorry, Minnie). Whether she's wearing her standard get-up or she's in a Jessica Rabbit-style dress, you just wanted to be her and hang out with Chip and Dale.

    11. The Powerpuff Girls from The Powerpuff Girls

    Cartoon Network

    Maybe it was the matching outfits, maybe it was the huge eyes, and maybe it was the fact that they thwarted an evil monkey in every episode. Whatever the reason, the Powerpuff Girls were hella cool in your childhood eyes.

    12. The Ashleys from Recess

    Disney

    Sure, they were total bitches, but they looked like they were dressed by Cher Horowitz from Clueless and you were totally on board with that.

    13. Judy Funnie from Doug

    Walt Disney Television

    Doug's older sister was just like the cool girl at school who you really wanted to be friends with. From her leather jacket to her beret and her trademark sunglasses, she was just the coolest cartoon sister of her age.

    14. Valerie from Josie and the Pussycats

    CBS
    CBS

    Literally no one looks good playing a tambourine. Unless you're Valerie, who manages to look good playing the tambourine in a unitard. Well done.

    15. She-Ra from She-Ra The Princess Of Power

    Mattel

    Her accessories were undeniably fabulous, and even her horse had very cool pink and blue armour. Also her hair was always perfect, no matter how many butts she kicked.

    16. Daphne Blake from Scooby-Doo

    Warner Bros.

    Fred might have been sort of groovy, but Daphne certainly brought the style to the group. Purple and green have never looked so good together.

    17. Morgana McCawber from Darkwing Duck

    Disney
    Disney

    Darkwing Duck's girlfriend was fucking flawless with her Cruella-De-Vil style hair and her long and witchy-looking gown. Very goth before you knew that was cool.

    18. Johnny Bravo from Johnny Bravo

    Cartoon Network

    In hindsight, he was a bit of a douchebag. But as a kid, you just wanted his hair and his sunglasses and his overall take-no-prisoners attitude.

    19. The Sailor Scouts from Sailor Moon

    Toei Animation

    These flawless bitches had a killer sense of style that made us all want to wear thigh high boots and fight evil by moonlight. Plus that hair. Damn!
