Okay, hold onto your scrunchies because Gigi Hadid just took us on a wild ride back to the early 2000s, and honestly, we’re not sure if we should laugh or cry. At the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere in NYC on July 22, Gigi rolled up in an outfit so drenched in Y2K vibes it felt like we were back in 2005, listening to *NSYNC on our flip phones.
Gigi Hadid: Time Traveler or Fashion Icon?
Born in 1995, Gigi clearly woke up that morning and decided she was in the mood for some hardcore noughties nostalgia. Her Miu Miu outfit? Oh boy, where do we even start? She rocked a leather bandana top in a shade of yellow that can only be described as “banana on steroids.” Matching this was a low-rise pleated midi skirt, held together by a wide suede belt that screamed, “Look at my waist, it’s 2002 again!”
Accessories: Because More is More
Gigi’s accessories were a whole other level of Y2K madness. She strutted in with a top handle yellow bag covered in charms. Yes, charms. Like the ones we used to hang off our Nokia phones. To top it off, her arms were weighed down with enough chunky bangles to make even the biggest accessory addict jealous. Seriously, Gigi, did you empty a Claire’s store on your way to the premiere?
Fashion Homage or Cosplay?
But wait, there’s more. Gigi wasn’t just channeling Y2K for the fun of it. No, no. She was paying tribute to Wolverine. Her bright yellow getup was a nod to Wolverine’s superhero suit. Talk about dedication. Her hair was styled in a rockabilly swooped fringe with flicked-out ends, clearly inspired by Wolverine’s “just got out of bed” look. And those black nails? They had nail art that looked like Wolverine’s claws. Subtle, right?
Gigi and Blake: Ketchup and Mustard Goals
And because one ridiculous fashion moment isn’t enough, Gigi posed next to Blake Lively, who was channeling Deadpool. The result? They looked like the most glamorous bottle of ketchup and mustard you’ve ever seen. Fashion goals or fast food cosplay? You decide.
The Y2K Comeback: Why Are We Doing This Again?
Let’s talk about the Y2K trend. Why is everyone so obsessed with bringing back butterfly tops, cargo pants, bubble hems, and charm necklaces? Are we really that nostalgic for a time when we wore velour tracksuits and frosted lip gloss? Apparently, yes. Fashion is a never-ending cycle, and right now, the early 2000s are having a major moment.
How to Rock Y2K Without Losing Your Dignity
If you’re brave enough to jump on the Y2K bandwagon, take a few tips from Gigi (but maybe dial it down a notch):
- Bandana Tops: Go for bright colors, but maybe skip the banana yellow unless you really want to stand out.
- Pleated Skirts: These are cute and versatile. Pair them with something modern to avoid looking like a time traveler.
- Chunky Accessories: Have fun with it, but remember, there’s a fine line between stylish and walking jewelry store.
- Bold Bags: Charms are fun, but don’t overdo it. You’re not a charm bracelet.
Conclusion: Gigi Hadid, The Queen of Y2K
Gigi Hadid’s Deadpool & Wolverine premiere outfit was a bold, hilarious, and slightly insane tribute to the early 2000s. Whether you loved it or hated it, you can’t deny she committed to the look. So here’s to Gigi, for reminding us that fashion is all about having fun, taking risks, and sometimes looking like a human time capsule.
