If you grew up watching Lizzie McGuire, jamming out to Britney Spears, and copying all of Paris Hilton's outfits, you're about to get a second chance to pull off all those rhinestone-studded, feather-coated, colorful, glitzy outfits you didn't wear the first time around. 2000s fashion trends (a.k.a. Y2K styles that you see everywhere these days) are back for good, so it's time to rewatch Legally Blonde, 13 Going on 30, Bring It On, and Mean Girls for some major fashion inspiration.

All of your favorite celebrities are leaning heavily into Y2K styles in their own ways. Charli D'Amelio loves Juicy Couture, Olivia Rodrigo is always channeling punk-pop energy that reminds us of Avril Lavigne (the pop princess mother), and Bella Hadid tried out the exposed "whale tail" thong. Oh, and Dua Lipa showed off her yoga moves while wearing a sequin bikini and a colorful beaded waist chain — two early 2000s fashion trends wrapped up in one (super flexible) package.

It's time to start your bedazzlers and break out the flip phones (you can bedazzle those, too) because the '00s are truly back. Here are the cutest 2000s trends that deserve a revival in your wardrobe.

If the necklace reminds you of a colorful beaded creation that you would've made back when you were in preschool, you're on the right track. Think summer camp, candy necklaces, and whimsical charms.
