1. Jennifer Lopez (J.Lo)
The undisputed queen of Y2K glamour, J.Lo’s 2000 Grammy Awards green Versace dress became an internet-breaking moment, cementing her status as a fashion icon . Her influence extended to trends like velour tracksuits, bedazzled accessories, and the "bronzed goddess" aesthetic. Her role in The Wedding Planner (2001) and Maid in Manhattan (2002) further solidified her blend of streetwear and red-carpet elegance.
2. Paris Hilton
The heiress turned reality TV star epitomized 2000s excess with her Juicy Couture tracksuits, trucker hats, and bedazzled everything. Her signature pink-and-sparkle aesthetic, showcased in The Simple Life (2003–2007), made her a blueprint for "It-girl" culture . Her early adoption of social media and brand collaborations (e.g., perfumes, clothing lines) set the stage for influencer culture.
3. Beyoncé
From Destiny’s Child’s matching ensembles to her solo debut Dangerously in Love (2003), Beyoncé’s style evolved into bold, sequined stage outfits and red-carpet gold gowns. Her "Crazy in Love" music video (2003) popularized crop tops, denim shorts, and thigh-high boots, blending streetwear with high glamour . Her influence persists in today’s "athleisure" and metallic fashion trends.
4. Britney Spears
The pop princess’s schoolgirl uniform in "...Baby One More Time" (1999) and her 2001 VMAs python performance look became emblematic of early 2000s fashion. Her low-rise jeans, crop tops, and rhinestone accessories defined teen glamour, while her fragrance line (Curious, 2004) revolutionized celebrity-branded beauty products .
5. Christina Aguilera
Known for her daring style, Aguilera’s chaps, leather ensembles, and skunk-streaked hair in the Stripped era (2002) pushed boundaries. Her red-carpet looks, including sheer tops and pageboy hats, embraced a rebellious, "dirrty" aesthetic that contrasted with her earlier bubblegum-pop image .
6. Jessica Simpson
Her reality show Newlyweds (2003–2005) showcased her relatable yet glamorous style, from Daisy Dukes to the infamous "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" moment. Her Jessica Simpson Collection, launched in 2005, became a billion-dollar empire, popularizing affordable yet trendy accessories and footwear .
7. Nicole Richie
Transitioning from Paris Hilton’s sidekick to a boho-chic icon, Richie’s layered necklaces, oversized sunglasses, and flowy maxi dresses in the late 2000s redefined casual glamour. Her brand, House of Harlow 1960 (launched 2008), blended vintage-inspired jewelry with modern minimalism .
8. Lindsay Lohan
As Mean Girls’ Cady Heron (2004), Lohan popularized "cool girl" staples like plaid miniskirts, layered tank tops, and butterfly clips. Off-screen, her paparazzi style—Juicy sweats, oversized sunglasses, and statement handbags—embodied the era’s "celebrity as fashion muse" phenomenon .
9. Avril Lavigne
The punk-pop icon’s skater shoes, neckties, and smoky eyeliner in Let Go (2002) inspired a generation of "sk8er girl" fashion. Her blend of grunge and femininity—think Converse with tutus—made her a symbol of teen rebellion and DIY style .
10. Angelina Jolie
Jolie’s Lara Croft in Tomb Raider (2001) popularized leather combat gear and action-hero chic. Off-screen, her red-carpet looks—minimalist gowns with dramatic slit details—and edgy accessories (e.g., vials of blood necklaces) balanced elegance with rebellion .
