In honour of Mean Girls Day on October 3, we revisit trends from the teen comedy hit that are so fetch right now
We maintain that Mean Girls is the best teen flick of them all. With its funny writing, real problems regarding identity and friendship, memorable quotes and fabulous fashion moments, this film has all the major components needed to make it iconic.
Despite having been released in 2004, costume designer Mary Jane Fort chose outfits that were both representative of the time and had longevity. Y2K fashion has had a major comeback this year, and there are so many trends then that are still wearable today, so let’s assess the looks.
Cut-out details
Regina George (played by Rachel McAdams) made cut-out tops a thing way before Nensi Dojaka brought this trend to the limelight. Even though Janis Ian (played by Lizzy Caplan) attempted to sabotage her by cutting holes in the chest of George’s tank top, the leader of The Plastics shrugged it off and wore the look with confidence, thus setting a new trend for the rest of the female student body to follow suit.
