Not To Be A Fashion Snob, But These '90s Movies And TV Shows Kiiiiiiilled It In The Wardrobe Department

The Met Gala should be takin' notes...👀

This year, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion turns 25! The '90s female-led buddy comedy is, of course, beloved for many reasons, one being its iconic fashion.

Touchstone Pictures

The film came out in 1997, just three years away from Y2K. As we were inching closer and closer to the new millennium, fashion was becoming less grounded, less earthy, and less organic.

Touchstone Pictures

We opted for a more “futuristic" look, or at least what we thought the future would look like: silver and blue metallics, satins, iridescent and glossy fabrics, and so. much. pleather.

So let’s put on our PVC mini skirts and frosted eyeshadow and take a look at these '90s films that embodied the "futuristic" look.

1. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)

New Line Cinema

Those silver go go boots though... Very shagadelic!

2. B.A.P.S. (1997)

New Line Cinema

Okay, every look in this movie is a serve, but these outfits...perfect! All I can say is Nisi and Mickey were living large and taking charge, big boy!

3. Good Burger (1997)

Paramount Pictures Studios

I wasn't the only one secretly rooting for Mondo burger just so I could see more of their uniforms, right?!

4. Jawbreaker (1999)

TriStar Pictures

Fern Mayo, I mean Vylette, was serving was serving 1960s bad girl mixed with mermaid mixed with Y2K. Yes, please!

5. Any Gregg Araki movie...

Fine Line Features, Trimark Pictures

Should we go back to just wearing clear vinyl as clothing?

6. But I’m a Cheerleader (1999)

Lionsgate Films

You can HEAR these outfits, and I'm here for it.

7. A Night at the Roxbury (1998)

Paramount Pictures Studios

Pause this movie at any time, and you'll probably see your next Halloween costume: '90s space babe.

8. Wish Upon a Star (1996)

Disney

I wish I may, I wish I might...own these small glossy vests to pair with my tiny pleather backpack.

9. Dick (1999)

Columbia Pictures

Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst totally rocked these pink and blue '90s-meets-'70s raincoats...

10. Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century (1999)

Disney

More shiny vests? I'm starting to sense a pattern.

11. Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996)

Sonar Entertainment

This pastel pink pleather dress borders on a Party City costume, but that doesn't mean I don't still really want to wear it. Also, I'm pretty sure there's an extra wearing what looked to be a vest made of iridescent cellophane.

12. She's All That (1999)

Miramax / Via youtube.com

The real star of the movie was Matthew Lillard and his outfit in this solo dance scene. I mean, just look at the glow when the party lights hit it...

Columbia Pictures / Via madmuseum.org

The future (2259 to be exact) is what we all deserve: just dripping in metallic blue.

14. Moesha (1996)

Yes, this is a TV show, but how can I not mention these outfits?! That silver jacket? The epitome of the futuristic look!

15. Spice World (1997)

And finally, of course, The Spice Force Five, looking ready to conquer the 2nd millennium in head-to-toe silver. "Blah, blah blah. Girl Power. Feminism. D'you know what I mean?"
