Sure, it’s the start of a new decade, but you’d forgive us for being stuck in 1999 when it comes to Britney Spears. She’s arguably one of the most iconic performers of our time and the same can be said for her wardrobe. Since the late ’90s, Britney has been sparking wardrobe envy in all of us, especially if her outfits could give us the same dance skills. So while you’re making your 2020 fashion resolutions, don’t forget to add ‘be more like Britney’ to your list. After a round-up of Britney Spears’ most iconic fashion moments? Look no further!

…Baby One More Time music video, 1998

Don’t lie, you knew every step to this iconic dance routine. TBH, I still do. However, what really stole our hearts were the absolute fire looks in this video clip. If we had to pick just one, our favourite has to be the pink crop combo. It’s by far the most wearable (people tend to give you weird looks if you show up as school girl Britney at work).

…Baby One More Time Tour, 1999

Here it is again but this time we’re treated to pleather hot pink knee pads and a pleather boob tube. ICONIC.

26th Annual American Music Awards, 1999

Did you see the Golden Globes red carpet this year? It was full to the brim with blush dresses. We’re not surprised to see that Britney did it first.

The cut-outs, the neon snakeskin print, what’s not to love? Also, shout out to that utility belt and its third appearance on this list.

Billboard Music Awards, 2000

Okay, so maybe the execution wasn’t there on this one, but tangerine is having a massive moment and we’ve traced it back to Britney Spears. Plus, tie-dye is having a revolution of its own. Clearly Britney knew what 2020 was about way back in the 2000s.

Excuse me, Tana Mongeau, Britney wants you to know she did it first.

Billboard Music Awards, 2004

The naked dress has come so far since Britney stepped out on the red carpet in this look in 2004. However, it’d be remiss not to include the OG when thinking about looks we’re all still recreating.

What did we say about sequins? When paired with Britney Spears, you really can’t go wrong.
