The 2000's were more than just low rise jeans, jelly sandals, and lip smacker lip gloss. This was an era of fabulousness, bright colors, outrageous pom-poms, and overtly girly girlisms that powered up an entire generation. Glitter and gloss aside, drama queens in their adulthood were all raised by Disney Channel Original stars like Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Tisdale, and Raven Simone, so you can expect a bit of razzle dazzle when we walk in. Feather boas rose from the ashes of every costume closet and quickly made their way to the red carpet alongside chunky belts and flouncy skirts worn over jeans and all rules of the fashion world were blown aside in lieu of being as extra as possible.

Regina George walked so that we could run, ladies, so get those pink pumps on, blow out your hair, and embrace your Elle Woods era.
