Twitter users commented that the Versace Fall/Winter Collection 2021 had a similar aesthetic to the infamous 2000’s Bratz Doll. The resemblance is uncanny, pop colours and chunky platform shoes were the rave in early 2000's.

Beyond fashion, Pantone’s Color of the Year has further confirmed the popularity of the Y2K trend, with their release of ‘Very Peri’, a delicate blue violet mix that reminisces on vintage pop-culture. This color is expected to be seen more throughout the year in fashion, art and mediums of design and creativity. Ultimately, Y2K fashion is the big wave that’s here to stay. Baby tees and baggy jeans have become the wardrobe staples, and the vast use of social media apps will only evolve this trend into the next generation.
