V.F.’s September issue revisits the looks that defined the Y2K era—and helped launch the red-carpet fashion complex.
Juicy Couture came out with the lowest-rise jeans [ever]. They were way below your hip bone—like way, way, way. And then you would wear a crop top with that. [And] that thong trend was a Tom Ford for Gucci thing. People started doing it after he showed it.where Michelle Visage says, “It’s a piece of fabric,” and that could be said of the [handkerchief top].Galliano at that time was the coolest thing you could possibly wear.
Lil’ Kim’s Misa Hylton-designed jumpsuit instantly became one of the most recognizable looks of all time when the rapper walked the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 9, 1999.: Missy Elliott actually gave me the idea for that look. I was hanging out at her house one day, and she was like, “You know what? Kim is such a fly bitch. If I was Kim, you know what I would do? I would just have one titty out.” So I just made a mental note.
Soon, red carpets seemingly usurped the awards shows themselves, with much of the discourse surrounding the events being about fashion.With hindsight being 20/20, looking back, you sort of realize that early on, the goal on the red carpet was to find a dress that looked really lovely on you and to not be embarrassed. That was sort of what allowed designers like Armani and Valentino to rise to the occasion, and the question of “Who are you wearing?” became the thing.
