Assembling The Y2K Style Avengers

Living like it’s ‘22 going on 2003.

Picture this: the year is 2003. Justin Timberlake’s Justified is already a classic – the soundtrack to a summer just gone; The Neptunes are producing absolutely everything and Pharrell somehow looks exactly the same as he does today; Jay-Z and Beyoncé are kind of a thing but not really except that they are and they’re Bonnie and Clyde; Paris Hilton is in Vogue; the Motorola Razr hasn’t dropped yet. Fast-forward nearly two decades and Y2K/2000s style is back in focus with oversized silhouettes, sneakers and loud accessories front of mind for style-savvy celebs and civilians alike. Enter our Y2K style Avengers.

Far from saving the world from an imminent threat in the image of Thanos, we’re starting the week by reflecting on a handful of the best-dressed A-listers single-handedly (as if wielding the power of an infinity gauntlet) keeping our Y2K style dreams intact. Let’s start with our lowkey style icon Jonah Hill. When he’s not starring in Hollywood flicks or directing his own independent films, our boy Jonah is surfing, skating and styling the days away in a flurry of vacation shirts and adidas trainers. For a little extra sauce, Jonah double-dips with some bling and something sweet from his eyewear collection which seems to consist of every shade of tinted lens imaginable. Noughties boy bands, eat your hearts out.

Seeing as Jonah likes to fly under the radar, we thought we’d switch up the settings with our next Y2K style saviour/Avenger and pitch a louder counterpart. We’ve opted for Justin Bieber. Husband, hitmaker and heartthrob (not necessarily in that order), The Biebs has a propensity for mixing vibrant colours and tie-dyed pieces into his everyday wardrobe of hoodies, sweats and sneakers. If you can find it in your typical pack of highlighters there’s a good chance Justin Bieber has already styled that colour correctly. An honourable mention is also in order for Justin’s 00s trucker hat collection. We’re pretty sure he’s in triple digits at this point.

Man of the moment, Pete Davidson (or Skete if you’re #teamye), is another in the upper echelon of people who look like they don’t care about fashion at all while getting incredibly in-fashion ‘fits off. Mixing streetwear and skate brands with select designer pieces, Pete Davidson walks with New York confidence dripped in a kaleidoscopic palette of candy shop colour schemes. Checkerboards, all-over prints and bold flashes of colour amplify the effects of his otherwise everyday staples in the same way rappers of the early 2000s did so well.

You know who else is doing this really well? Rich Brian. He’s serving up looks from the same realm with a keen eye for knitwear, and probably a slightly more refined taste in footwear. Go Brian. 

And finally, we hate Nate Jacobs but we love Jacob Elordi. And you should too. Much has been made of the depth of the costume/wardrobe department of the HBO hit series and it’s always nice to see our very own homegrown Euphoria star bringing the heat off-screen, too. Whether sauntering down Sunset Boulevard or the main drag of Byron Bay, Jacob’s aesthetic is heavily influenced by 2000s street style with a penchant for relaxed denim, sweats and Yankees hats. For an elevated Elordi-inspired look, a pair of relaxed, tailored pants with some loafers could be your new signature style.
