Denim-on-Denim Icons
A great couples Y2k costume idea. Go full Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake at the 2001 AMAs with matching denim outfits. Think jean jackets, a denim dress, and even a denim hat or bag!
Mean Girls
Embrace the early 2000s prep style by channeling Regina George and crew. This is a great Y2k costume for girls who want a group costume idea. Think mini skirts, a t-shirt with the famous “A Little Bit Dramatic” slogan, and maybe even a “Burn Book” prop for photos!
Velour Tracksuits
Nothing says Y2K like a bright, velour tracksuit à la Juicy Couture. Add a mini shoulder bag, big hoop earrings, and Ugg boots for a complete look.
TRL Pop Star
Dress up as a pop star straight out of *Total Request Live!* Think baby tees, cute dresses, and hair crimped or in butterfly clips. Bonus points for a microphone headset and choreographed moves!
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in “The Simple Life”
Channel this iconic duo with cute outfits and lots of sparkles. Don’t forget oversized sunglasses and that classic 2000s glam vibe.
Jersey Shore
Channel your inner Snookie with leopard print dresses, faux fur leg warmers and a whole lot of attitude. Did someone say GTL?
Bling Jeans & Baby Tees
Embrace the ultimate Y2K staples with rhinestone jeans, a cropped baby tee, chunky belts, and flip-flops or platform sandals for a quintessential casual look.
Skater Chic
Think Avril Lavigne in Sk8er Boi: cargo pants or baggy jeans, a tank top layered with a graphic tee, a loose tie, and maybe a choker or grunge necklace to complete the vibe. This is a great Y2k costume idea for girls who want to embrace the grunge look of the 00s.
MTV VJ Look
Go as an MTV VJ, complete with an MTV mic and maybe a laminated “press pass” badge. Rock vintage MTV tees, mini skirts, chunky platform sneakers, and frosty eyeshadow.
“Legally Blonde” Elle Woods
Go as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde in an all-pink ensemble, preferably with a tiny handbag and a toy chihuahua. Perfect for anyone wanting to be “Elle Woods, Y2K edition!”
These outfits will bring the Y2K nostalgia and have everyone ready to party like it’s 2000!
