We may never want to see low rise jeans again, but these iconic Aussie celebs from the 2000s are unexpected fashion inspirations
The 2000s are back!
Nicole Kidman, 2001
Nicole was still taking cues from the grunginess of the late 90s when she styled two chokers with a longer necklace. This undone aesthetic encapsulates a time when movie premiers weren't huge occasions - here Nicole was promoting Moulin Rouge.
Nicole Kidman, 2008
Nicole wore this sheer panel and layered lace dress to a movie premiere in 2008, and this beautiful design is still a prominent feature on red carpets.
Kylie Minogue, 2001
Kylie wearing a corset with shiny electric blue wide-legged plants is simply iconic, and it's likely young girls everywhere would love to get their hands on a dupe.
Kylie Minogue, 2002
Wearing lingerie as outerwear was spearheaded by the Princess of Pop, and the Carrie Bradshaw trend has been embraced in the 2020s.
Cate Blanchett, 2006
Cate wore a thick bedazzled belt with low rise jeans to an event in 2006, and while many may dislike this jean style, there are sub-groups in 2021 trying to bring them back.
Naomi Watts, 2005
The fur-trimmed denim jacket that Naomi wore to Levi's Ranch in Park City is an aesthetic that has propelled itself back into the mainstream.
Ada Nicodemou, 2001
If you spend any time walking around one of Australia's major cities, you will see Ada's 2001 leather jacket on every trend-setter. It's become the hottest item that one can get their hands on in an op shop, and this Home and Away darling couldn't have styled it better with her cream turtle neck.
Ada Nicodemou, 2002
Ada wore this stunning design to the TV Week Logie Awards, and her one-shoulder dress has been trending throughout 2021.
Sophie Monk, 2003
Sophie looked so fresh in this silk white low cut cress to the 17th Annual Aria Awards. Straight line dresses were a big look in the 2000s, and they had the most ethereal effect.
Georgie Parker, 2006
The Home and Away actor is wearing delicate petal sleeves, and the look speaks to the common sartorial choice to layer a thin flowing top over jeans.
Lara Worthington, 2008
In the later end of the 2000s, Lara Worthington (then Bingle) was Australia's biggest It Girl. This figure-hugging, low-cut round neckline maxi dress was a classy take on the maxi trend that usually featured bold patterns.
Bec Hewitt, 2008
Bec wore this gorgeous shirt layered under a black dress to watch her beau Lleyton Hewitt play tennis at Wimbledon.
Bec Hewitt & Isabel Lucas, 2004
These former soapie stars were the perfect capsule of the 2000s, from Isabel's hip-hugging skirt to Bec's rimless sunglasses that dominated the era.
Gemma Ward, 2007
Gemma wore this sheer dress at the height of her supermodel level fashion career, and in a time where sheer panels are a go-to for a night out, this look is still relevant.
Kate Ritchie, 2008
Over the past year, it's been a fashion lovers armour to layer a white shirt under a black strapless top or bodice. Kate was simply ahead of the game with this look.
