i've never watched gossip girl but, to me, jenny's style just screams "taylor momsen starring as taylor momsen" i.e. automatic slayage

some discussion on GG subreddit say she was going to quit the show if she couldn’t dress this way. she just put her personal branding above a show which considering how often shows like that lock people in a niche forever was pretty smart
Omg a skins look book would be so Good 🤩
its kinda interesting to see that most of the looks that still look good today fall into that like tumblr girl era. i definitely see that starting to trend rn
I love the outfit changes between each segment! I also love the names you gave for the rankings and the overall concept of this video! super fun idea!
Cassie's style was heavily influenced and inspired by Hannah Murray's own style. I remember back in the day she said that she somewhat regrets giving Cassie her "personal appearance", as it felt like she lost the license to her own style when Cassie gained it, or her own outfits became a costume or character wardrobe. Maybe she feels different today, seeing how just much authenticity and life it gives Cassie.
In the oc, lead actress Mischa Barton who was a “Chanel girl” of her day had a large influence of her character and wanted her to wear designer. She is quoted saying- “I started getting Chanel to send stuff. I started having these designers send stuff over because I saw the merit in getting that kind of stuff on television. It was interesting: If I had those connections in the fashion world, why not? [The wardrobe department] would totally have been happy just dressing us as regular teenagers, to be honest. Not in a bad way, we would have looked adorable, but we would have been just your average Orange County teenagers. But with my wiling and conniving I was like, 'You know what would be super great is if we could get this Chanel dress for this [prom] episode,' and it kind of all came together.” But the handbags were mostly fakes.

yeah i had heard that the bags were mostly fakes, especially in the first season! didn’t realise how much of an influence mischa had though, that’s awesome!
Yes! Do the “Skins” lookbook! I genuinely went from Cassie to Emily (including the wine-red bobbed hair) to Grace as my style inspirations during the tumblr days. Only to realise I think I just want Effy’s leather jackets and black dresses now.
i remember back in 2012/2013 tumblr era everyone was obsessed with effy stonem from skins, both her style and her personality in general so yeah skins is definitely iconic !

people were obsessed with her since 07 when the show aired lol...
Michelle’s style was literally the norm for girls living in Bristol during 2006 🥹
I’d love a skins look book and how you would update/interpret the looks
Yeah, the polo trend was huuuuge in the US. Specifically the skin-tight colorful polo, usually from Abercrombie or Hollister. They were so aggressively long (to be worn with low-waisted jeans ofc) they made your proportions look absolutely wild

agreed, or from Aeropostle, layering polos or layering tank tops under them for a strange color block look was the way to wear them too lol.
i’m obsessed!! yes we NEEEEED a skins look book!
Consider making this a series and let your audience decide which shows/movies to cover. Could be a funny challenge for you, too! Also, fashion in styling/make over shows?
Man it’s so glaringly obvious that this time period despised any other body type other than very, very slender
jenny always serves like she has never disappointed me. And Blair will be always my role model, she has such a unique style and you can tell she expresses what she is feeling through her outfits
thank you for doing The OC!!!! those girls are my summer style icons. i'm rewatching and up to the last episode of season 3 and i just can't bring myself to watch it 😭
FINALLY someone gets me. Jenny changed the trajectory of my life and for that she will always be my favorite. Style wise and character wise.
oh my god PLEASE make a wardrobe essentials video based on gossip girl , skins, and OC looks!
Such a fun video! Would love to see you do an XG themed look book because I feel like their style overlaps with a lot of yours

Can we talk about how ahead of her time Vanessa from GG was though? She was only a few years away from being trendy, her style is so mid 2010's 👀
would absolutely love to see this continued for films and disney channel characters!
Your hair and outfits for all segments of this video ATEE

thank you so much 😭😭 i was so excited for the costume changes lol
i will never stop loving your tv and film style videos 😭🫶🫶
I watched the OC as it aired and it was one of the most unattainable styles ever, because I lived in Alaska. lol. I also still think about season 1 all the time, it is a part of my soul at this point. Same with season 1 of Gossip Girl, loved that too, never finished the show, but gods did I love it. I would love to see more videos like this, this was so much fun!
Venessa’s outfits were definitely what people wore during that time. It’s just compared to the “classic” looks the rest of the cast gavex it made V stand out in such a bad way.
I'll wait for the skins look book for the rest of my life, i need it queen

I love late y2k/ early 2010s stuff. Its the right amount of 60s mod, 80s casual, 70s hippie/boho, while being edgy and colorful. Idk, when done right it’s gorgeous. Like the flow of the outfit is always good. While having tons of personality.
YES PLEASE DO A SKINS VIDEO IT WOULD CURE MY DEPRESSION! your channel and skins are my two favourite things ❤😭
peyton sawyer!!! i’m so obsessed with her season 1 hair and wardrobe ♥️

Looved this video! I'd watch the heck out of videos where you style each of these series best looks.
18:44 also loved her in the Lindsay Lohan movie, Just My Luck 🥰 & It’s a Boy Girl Thing!
Loved your take on the fashion in these shows! Would love to see a second part😊
this is a video i didn't expect to enjoy so much since i've never seen these shows, but now you're making me want to! i love that you dressed in different inspired outfits for each one. you belong with the icons of fashion!
Omg the Disney channel version needs to happen ❤
LOVE this!!! i dont use tiktok so thanks for the throwback bc these are truly some beautiful fits
Omg I love the 3 outfit you chose to wear for each TV show!
Thank you for doing all this research!! This was truly a BLAST and I'd love to see styling! (And the male looks, of course, since shows like Skins were spreading the love to all their characters.)
AHHHH YESSS ICONICCC i missed your tv/film videossss

Yes, please keep hyping The OC! It needs more love considering it was the most popular show of it’s time. Also a yes please to all your video suggestions at the end.
I'm so glad you talked about the OC!! No one in my life has watched it (and believe me, i try to bring it up as often as i can😭) ur my absolute favourite fashion youtuber and i think u would totally kill a skins lookbook!!
THE FIT IS SO CLEAN!!! THE HAIR 🩷💗🩷💗 absolutely ate
I would love for you to do an overall "characters from early 2000s teen tv ranking" where you just rank a bunch of characters from various tv shows on their style :)
u ATE in your gg look
Loved this! You should do a 90s one too - or cartoons like you said!
this video was so goood. also, PLEASE DO A VIDEO RECREATING THESE OUTFITS ♡♡♡
Haven’t watched a single one of these shows but I’m tempted
Girl you look stunning! Love your style.
i would LOOOOVE a skins lookbook omg!!!
Thank youuuu ! So good ! We need more videos like this one. I'm so happy we share the same memories and obsessions (i just turned 30 and i love it). In France in the 00's we had a teen tv show from spain, Un paso adelante, with iconic looks (Lola's were my fav : buffalo platform always), take a look at it 😉
Okay but your opening look is givingggg 🔥🔥🔥
your outfit on this video slays thoooo ❤️🔥
THIS VIDE WAS SO GOOD!! ❤❤❤❤
I would LOVE to see you to do a look book/outfits inspired video on all the BLACKPINK music video outfits they wear - their music videos are always so colourful and their outfits are amazing, but I would love to see how to recreate them on a ‘normal’ level/styling choices with still reaching that impact they have!
Hi Katie! Just wanted to say I found your channel yesterday and immediately subscribed and started binging your videos. Also, you inspired me to finally go check out the vintage clothing store near my house that I’ve been meaning to check out for literally 3 years. I found some really great pieces (including a little blue ruffled cardigan that ties at the neck that I’d usually never try cause I like my cardigans to be knee-length, but was inspired by ur cream and pink ones that were kinda similar, and I ended up loving it!). I’m very happy right now!! Thank u for inspiring me!
loved this type of vídeo! would love to see more tier rankings from you, and obvs the skins styling video xx
i watch all your videos as soon as they come out (but rarely comment) and just wanted to say that i think your video suggestions in the end are great! This video was super fun, hearing your thoughts on the different outfits and so on :) also i'm about to start watching nana just because of you!! haha so yeah, whether you comment on the style of certain tv series or come up with some outfits yourself (which are *always* incredible btw), you inspire me a lot!💜
not really related to the video, but i just wanted to say thank you for your videos Katie, I've been following you for years now, but I haven't caught up w your latest videos bc of my declining mental health, but just now this video popped up on my feed again and watching it made me realise how much I missed your content, bc you are so relatable, kind and knowledgable when it comes to fashion and I'm just so happy to have you on my screen again!! Thank you for bringing comfort to us girlies out here
Omg please do the skins lookbook video !!!! I'm really looking forward to it ;)
Omg yesss please katie, you should do a styling video for skins
please do a video where you include h2o just add water - that show shaped my childhood and teen years! the outfits are super fun or super questionable like there's no inbetween lol but you're one of the few people who could pull of recreating their style! :)
As a 17 year old emo, after witnessing cassie from skins I was a new being. Her style was everything and at 29 I'm still inspired by her ✨️ 💖
I just want to say i started watching the oc because of this video and so far i’m really enjoying it!
I loved this! effy and jenny were my stle icons when I was in middle school
your videos are the best I sweeeear
I love this channel, always excited for a new upload!

yes please do a skins video!!!! luv gossip girl as well, very iconic
loved this!!
So, my sister has a high school dinner to go to. And I’m pretty sure I’m invited hehe. Thanks for the inspo through this video Katie ❤ I haven’t decided on an outfit yet…
this was so fun!!!!
I LOVE the O.C. !!!
YES SKINS VIDEO PLS! I only managed to see bits of it & pictures at the time, (I'm American and it was only on some premium channel rerun plus my parents wouldn't have let me watch it!) but its influence on my style was HUGE. I wished I could dress like Effie then but now I'm more inspired by Cassie. Watching all of it later reminded me how iconic it was, both in fashion and film. Euphoria rly is its spiritual successor.
For me number one has always been H2O just add water. I loved the story and the costumes!
Hi I'm an American who was in high school during the airing of The OC... Yes, we wore those Hollister/Lacoste/Ralph Lauren polos, we even layered them 🥲🥲🥲 i actually grew up in the OC area too, so the clothing in this show is exactly what the preppy and beach kids wore. The other kids were MySpace emo/Scene kids.
For me its Disney channel shows. Something about Hannah Montanas outfits will forever live rent free in my head
i watched skins for the first time last year and god cassie's outfits will not leave my head
I'M IN DESPERATE NEED OF MORE SKINS CONTENT
Your gossip girl look was serving down to the lip color😫💓
would love a skins vid pleassse.. also making a 90s vid purely to talk about Jackie in That 70s Show could be on..
Yessss I remember the polo shirt trend! I had a Ralph Lauren polo shirt dress ahaha
yes skins lookbook, we want it. we need it.
I would love a skins outfits/styling video! 💗
I’d love to see a video of how you’d style gossip girl reboot
the plaid dress with the pink tulle was my FAVE outfit in the entire series
Please do a skins look book there aren’t enough and u would kill it!!💕
I need to see one of these with Pretty Little Liars. All of the girls just had such different and iconic styles
PLEEAASSEE do a Skins look book! I’d be gagged
I never watched Skins but of the video essays I watched about it, the vibrant gaudy fashion was overlooked lol. Ngl, I live for the kitschy colour blocking. Like why can't that be fashion?? 😭😭
Didn't even realise the bow tshirts were a Thing! I used to have a red one because there was just endless variations of it in Gap in the early 2010s lol
Skins lookbook would be awesome!
love skins so much but i had to block it out i watched it during such a weird time i like, lived it idk it was a weird romanization im sure many will relate too. but 🤩🤩 yes this brings back the feeling i had seeing the styles for the first time ahh always made fireworks in my soul
scream queens mention yessss
Cassie from Gen 1+2 of Skins has been my style icon for years!!
Please do videos like this more!!!
pls do a film version omg
please do a breakdown of closet essentials from Gossip Girl 🥰
The Jenny’s dress reference as a Roman Empire… I have never felt more understood!!!! ❤
I would looove a scream queens video it would be iconic
NE E D THE SKINS LOOKBOOK
you should do a video on 90210! love youuuu
speaking for myself i would love a glee lookbook/video 😔
