With the resurgence of logo bags, slip dresses, and—yes, your eyes are not deceiving you—kitten heels, lately we've been feeling some major nostalgia for the early aughts. Back then, women who had our fashion hearts must've been even better dressed than we imagined, as many of their outfits still stand up today as top-notch choices… with a few minor tweaks here and there, of course.
So, to celebrate the looks of the key women of the 2000s who inspire us as much now as they did over a decade ago (crazy, we know), we rounded up a few of their looks from back in the day.
Read on for a look, and to shop the current versions of their outfits…
