HEY NOW: All The Times That Lizzie McGuire Was Your Ultimate Style Inspo
The fashion of Lizzie McGuire is a level of cool that we are still trying to achieve today. Lizzie was the ultimate style guru and we continue to look to her iconic noughties fashion as the ultimate outfit inspo.
Just like Clueless was iconic for creating its own unique fashion that caricatured the current culture, Lizzie McGuire took noughties style and amped it up into an fabulously OTT fashion dream that we all hoped to emulate.
Turns out, wanting to dress like Lizzie has withstood the test of time and here we are looking back on her best ~lewks~ for some fashion wisdom.
Here’s a look back at all the times Lizzie McGuire was our ultimate style inspo:
When she showed us how to nail the wholesome girl-next-door look; championing overalls and Scary Spice hair buns. How many of us own this exact outfit?
We owe it all to you, Lizzie.
When she got around in that ‘ugly’ (pretty fuckin’ awesome) red unicorn sweater for school photo day to make her mum happy. Bless.
When she showed us that patterns have a place and that place is anywhere and everywhere. There is no such thing as too many patterns when Lizzie McGuire is wearing them.
When she went full matrix on us and owned it like a bawsss.
When she rocked the diva look with this salacious feather lined outfit. Take note: clear sunnies are always a good choice.
When she (and her BFF Miranda) rocked the most extra hairstyles that prove there’s no such thing as ‘too much’ when it comes to hair.
That means the ultimate hair accessories too. The most underestimated style opportunity #fashun.
When she flawlessly nailed the throwback look. Lizzie would have owned the 1950’s.
When she was never afraid to rock a sparkly number for school. Yay sparkles, so gr8 for learning.
When she wore this outfit. This outfit is perfect.
When she demanded the clothing that she deserved.
When she rocked a fake piercing with her teen kween attitude #punk.
When she showed us the right way to wear a bandana and a risquée captioned t-shirt. Lizzie grew up so fast.
When she was never afraid to wear too much of one colour. Matching is an art and it needs the respect it deserves.
When she bossed up and told all these cray Italian stylists that these extravagant looks were not gonna work for her and they need to make her a purple lace get up quick stat.
Props to Rome though for being the ones to recognise Lizzie for the star she truly is.
When she made it official that tear-away-skirts-becoming-flair-pants are the ultimate outfit choice for your 15 minutes of fame.
Unfortunately Lizzie McGuire’s killer style didn’t always rub off on Hilary Duff, whose best/worst outfit choice of the LM era has gotta be this double denim number:

This probably seemed like a good idea at the time but it’s definitely not achieving the Lizzie McGuire style success.
We can all only hope to channel the iconic Lizzie McGuire style into practice. Let us praise and honour her as the for all the fashionista wisdom she passed on to us.
