Tatum

No, please don’t kill me, Mr. Ghostface, I wanna be in the sequel!

“Scream” was a big deal when it came out. It raised the horror genre from it’s grave, that in the 1990s, was as dead as a Michael Myers victim. Since its release there’s been lots of imitations, hell the “Scary Movie” franchise was born as a parody of this film, so it gets lost in the shuffle and sometimes not seen as particularly innovative. But it was a complete game changer at the time and still fucking rocks.

Horror legend Wes Craven directed the cast of mostly unknowns through one of the smartest and most self-aware horror films of all time. With lines like “Movies don’t create psychos, movies make psychos more creative,” if anything, this film is underrated.

And the characters are SO GOOD. There’s awesome dialog that’s super unique, along with great acting. We’re going to focus on Tatum (Badass Rose McGowan), cause she’s obviously the best character.

She’s the cool and snarky best friend of final girl Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and rocks some looks in her SPOILER: much too short screen time (RIP).

Tatum’s hair is a strawberry blonde color in the Rachael cut. Rose dyed her normally dark hair to differentiate from Neve in the film.

Let’s start with her first look. She wears a very Cher Horowitz like plaid mini with a short sleeved yellow ribbed turtleneck. She completes the outfit with white leather buckle booties. It’s a very 90s look and I love it.

Next up is her “Lolita tries out for the NFL” look. She wears red bootcut pants and a cropped jersey, probably a size 10 youth from Limited Too. She tops it off with pigtails, a zebra purse and a black belt. The shirt is based off of Johnny Depp’s character in another Wes Craven flick, “Nightmare on Elm Street,” so that’s another fun easter egg to the many that are scattered throughout this film.

Next, look at her cute sleepover jammies! I’m happy that I had veryyyy similar cloud pjs in the 90s. She also includes a on-trend big ole cloth scrunchie

Her final outfit is what she wears to the house party. Her shirt is a tight lime-green turtleneck and she rocks a psychedelic mini. Interestingly, it’s very similar to the skirt/shirt combo earlier.

I’m not sure if short sleeve turtlenecks are practical? Like what temperature do you wear them in? Either way they’re kinda cool and minis are always great. Here’s some links to create some great Tatum looks

Hallie Parker and Annie James

If you’re like me and you were a young girl in the late 1990s/early 2000s, “The Parent Trap” remake was probably a significant part of your childhood. The total fantasy of finding your long lost twin at summer camp, becoming best friends, switching places and reuniting your parents made us all envious.

Matching tweed suit vs baggy jean jacket

The twins were both played by a then 12 year old newcomer Lindsay Lohan. Hallie’s the laid-back Northern California cool girl while Annie is the proper Brit. Their wardrobes are complete opposites but are equally fabulous to any preteen girl watching.

Annie’s looks are DEFINITELY more formal than her sister, and probably more formal than most adult women. She wears a plaid suit to a summer camp for crying out loud! She also rocks this powder blue suit with a matching headband on a lunch date. Her mother is a designer so it makes sense but my gosh!

Halle wears a lot of sportier/chill outfits. She lives on a vineyard ranch so baggie flannels and sweatshirts are a lifestyle.

When the girls are together they coordinate their outfits far better than apart. We have a lemon-yellow poolside outfits. A matching polo shirt set. And adorable camping trip looks.

I think what are the most notable outfits to young viewers are the girl’s late 90s formal dresses, which they wear on the boat during their parent’s date. Hallie wears a silk Chinese inspired dress with chopsticks in her hair. Very in-style then but questionable today. Annie’s dress is, not surprisingly, more proper. It’s a 90s does 60s mod shift dress with a shade of blue that I remember seeing a lot of in my early childhood. She of course includes a matching headband.

From the first time I popped in the VHS I’ve been planning mine and my imaginary twin’s scheming outfits. Here’s some 90s vintage looks that would fit right in-
