YES, those small, tinted glasses were so damn unflattering and she wore them constantly. People always made fun of the “bug trend” wherein everyone wore huge, rounded sunglasses from the mid-2000’s onward, but I personally thought they were a huge improvement from their predecessor.

I love this outfit. This was pretty dope

Some of you are way too harsh. You do realise that in 20 years the fashion of now will look like how we see the fashion of then 90’s etc. People will be WTF at all the pastel and grey hair and all the **** we wear now. Thing become dated but they were fine back then, but of course some were a bad already back then. But some of you act like the fashion police thinking these pics are from 2018.

She did make some great contributions to the zeitgeist though, even in terms of fashion. I mean, it wasn’t all bad.

Like, the crop top, low rise jeans and bellybutton ring was her signature look, and it consequently became ubiquitous among popstars. And I honestly still love that overall look, even if it’s considered dated. To me it has a casual, almost timeless *** appeal to it. All the fashionistas and “it girls” just try so damn hard nowadays. I liked how Britney’s free spirit and tomboy streak came through even in her style. 

IMO, this first look will always be sexier than the second one:

I agree. Great comment!

Oh, I completely agree! It's truly all in good fun. For example, the most iconic styles worn by Marylin Monroe, Elvis Presley or MJ would be largely laughable if debuted durIng this day and age, but that in no way diminishes the iconic cultural impact they had. I just think it's fun to see how trends evolve over time.

(I love Elvis so much) I agree and your idea is def. fun. My comment wasn’t aimed at you, I like your attitude and would love more threads like this.

Ohmygod I've never seen these looks

Was Brit serious with that second outfit or she weared it because she wanted to fool herself?

I have to say I would f-king wear the first one tho

The early 2000s were really a truly magical time 

Haha, that second outfit was during a Crossroads premiere in Amsterdam, so perhaps she was just partaking in the legal weed smoking within their “coffee shops” beforehand. It would certainly explain her a) wearing socks with heels, b) the carton of popcorn attached to her hand all night, and c) the goofy, carefree grin she maintained for the majority of the event.

(Not judging at all BTW, I’d most likely do the exact same given her insane promo schedule at the time).

 I actually frequently look forward to reading your own comments, so I really appreciate your sentiment! Personally, Elvis’ music itself isn’t my cup of tea, but his charisma, stage presence and disregard for the status quo were undeniable. He was arguably responsible for the onset of American obsession with celebrity (particularly performers). Thanks to him, music seemingly transitioned from something audible to something both visual and visceral. In many ways, Britney truly mirrored his career trajectory.

Here’s an article about 2000’s fashion; Brit and Xtina are mentioned multiple times.

I’m not a fan of hers by any means, but she truly can look beautiful (particularly prior to all the unnecessary plastic surgery procedures; her natural exotic look was stunning). I just don’t understand how someone can always look like they’ve spent hours in hair and makeup, simply to go to dinner or even walk around town for a minute or two. And this is coming from someone who adores their consistently (fully stocked) vanity!

But frankly, the entirety of her lifestyle seems both exhausting and pointless, and her legions of cognitively immutable troglodytes cause me great concern for the future.

It's like full time job of hers. Well paid.

Well according to Vogue, and a bunch of other prestigious fashion magazines I perused to find the pics for this thread, brown lipstick is definitely back in style; it’s just that people used to wear it without any regard for their skin tone (and overlined to a frightening extent). As with all lipsticks, especially bold shades, it’s crucial to know what you can (and cannot) pull off! This picture, for example, illustrates how a brown lip can be either wholly unflattering or dramatic and ****:

So, with all that to be said, more power to you! That's not something we can all rock, and I definitely didn't mean to debase all brown lip shades in general.

Ohh your theory perfectly explains it

I even say I like this outfit despite its goofiness (or because of it). It's really boho chic like a lot of her early 2000s outfits but it's more over the top than the others and I personally think it's stylish and cute (that's my weird taste here)

The thing I love most about 2000s Brit's fashion is the asymmetrical crop tops

 

 

There are a lot more and I so want to post them all but I don't have time to search all

 

My fave bubblegum pop look

ı know, it's just that ı have olive skin (ı think?it looks like kylie's skin in this pic in summer and a little bit paler in winter) and ı think only dark lipsticks look good on me.

YES! I loved that “I want candy” look so much that I actually bought an exact replica of the shirt and newsboy cap, even though I was like 12 and certainly didn’t look as cool as I thought I did.  That’s still one of my favorite candids of all time, though. 

I even loved the crop tops that landed her on the “worst dressed” lists time and time again. She just rocked the hell out of them.

[britisthecolor]

ı don't think that they look bad but they are a little extra for me.the first one for example, with the gloves and hat...

That's so cute of you the I want candy look is a timeless classic from Britney (Barbie) era. The most 2001 thing I can recall anytime

Yeah I love this outfit too, so eccentric

Which outfits landed her on the "worst dressed" list? (This, the Grammy 2000 one that I know about)

[SonOfSun]

A lot of the things that have been posted are making a huge comeback in the fashion world. Late 90's/00's fashion is very trendy right now. Personally I love it, I don't think it's ugly.
