The 25 Most Stylish TV Shows from the ’90s ‘Til Now

As far as we’re concerned, there aren’t a lot of problems in the world that a TV show marathon can’t fix. Need to chill after a long week? Netflix marathon. Having an “off day?” A couple episodes of Friends should do the trick. Bonus points, however, will be awarded to any show that has serious style. We’re talking do-a-double-take-on-your-screen style. Whether it’s a moody period piece or a modern-day buddy sitcom, the wardrobe on set can make all the difference. And yes, in case you’re wondering, Gossip Girl did make the cut — but don’t worry, we’ve also tucked a few wild cards into the list. Scroll on to find out which shows’ outfits always stole the scene.

1. Mad Men: The show that inspired thousands of Halloween costumes, Mad Men gave us serious throwback style, from perfectly coiffed hair to fit-and-flare dresses. This 1960s drama had us wondering if we were born in the wrong era. If this show taught us one thing, it’s that the updo is totally underrated. (Photo via AMC)

2. The O.C.: Okay so, maybe you’re rewatching the episodes on Hulu and cringe at the cropped boleros and ultra-low-rise ruffle mini skirts. But, we’d be lying if we said the show’s looks weren’t what our high school closet dreams were made of. In fact, we’re still on the hunt for Summer and Marissa’s prom dresses. (Photo via Fox)

3. Clarissa Explains It All: Clarissa Darling is a girl after our own heart. She knew the importance of an embellished denim jacket with a side of sarcasm to boot. She tackled major issues like boys, pimples and an annoying little brother, all while rockin’ bold prints and scrunchies for days. (Photo via Nickelodeon)

4. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air: Sorry to Lena Dunham and the cast of GIRLS, but this show invented “power clashing.” Yes to candy-colored stripes. Yes to bright prints. Yes to shoulder-pad blazers. Why not wear it all at once? This ’90s sitcom really had it goin’ on. (Photo via NBC Universal)

5. Empire: Can we get a “Yas Kween!” for our girl Cookie? Major props to any woman who can pull off a head-to-toe leopard look, fedora and all. A furry fuchsia stole, a gold snakeskin blazer, a studded red leather ensemble — honey, these are just the BASICS! Is there anything this woman can’t wear? (Photo via Fox)

6. Daria: This iconic cartoon has us craving a serious combat boot comeback. Even though Daria Morgendorffer would probably never approve of being on a list like this, we couldn’t help but add her anyway. Her signature outfit is equal parts edgy and effortless. Also, shout out to Jane Lane’s amazing blunt bob. (Photo via MTV)

7. Gossip Girl: This one’s a total no-brainer, and the only thing that could rival Gossip Girl‘s amazing wardrobe would be the series finale plot twist. From Blair’s headbands to Serena’s ability to rock sequins with her school uniform, the show’s stylist Eric Daman really knew how to put together a killer look. We’re not worthy. (Photo via The CW)

8. Sex and the City: Where do you think Gossip Girl’s Eric Daman picked up his skills? From the legendary Pat Field on set for Sex and the City, of course. Our four favorite gals were always dressed to impress, thanks to her innovative and award-winning styling. Tulle tutus, Chanel statement necklaces and oversized flower pins — if you can name it, chances are one of the SATC girls has worn it. (Photo via HBO)

9. Ally McBeal: Two words: mini skirts. The ’90s were in full force for the majority of this show’s run, so this supermodel-approved look was everywhere, even fictional TV courtrooms. Ally’s irreverent attitude led to some chic takes on typical nine-to-five wear. (And we loved every second of it.) (Photo via Fox)

10. Friends: Rachel Green in overalls. Monica in mom jeans. Phoebe in a fuzzy orange coat. This show was squad fashion #goals. Every episode of this classic show is jam-packed with outfits we wish we had in our closets now. And if still loving these looks is wrong, well then we don’t want to be right. (Photo via NBC Universal)

11. Glee: Confession: We wish we had a Cheerios uniform of our own, not just for Halloween costumes but also just regular ole Thursdays when you need a bit of pep in your step. We love that each cast member had such a defined style during the series. Rachel’s adorkable outfits, Mr. Schuester’s vests and Finn’s “ambiguously sporty” tees were in constant rotation. (Photo via Fox)

12. Scandal: No matter how crazy Olivia Pope’s life gets, this fixer’s wardrobe is always on point. Between draped cardigans, Prada bags and impeccably cut trousers, Olivia Pope is a style maven. When in doubt, just add a glass of red. It’s the perfect accessory. (Photo via ABC)

13. Scream Queens: This modern whodunit may be all about a mysterious murder, but we have to admit the girls on this show are also *killing* the style game. Forget Vineyard Vines and Lily Pulitzers, these sorority girls are rockin’ Gucci, Valentino and Fendi. We have Emmy-winning stylist Lou Eyrich to thank for that. She was also the mastermind behind Glee. (Photo via Fox)

14. My So-Called Life: Heavy sigh for just one second while we sit here and reminisce about Jordan Catalano. Button-up floral dresses, flannel shirts and penny loafers — whoa, wait a minute, this sounds exactly like what’s in our current closets. The outfits in this teen drama definitely make our hearts skip a beat. (Photo via ABC)

15. Saved by the Bell: We’re so excited! We’re so scared! From the crop tops to the crimped hair, nothing says the ’90s like Saved by the Bell. Practically every ensemble featured in this after-school special was vibrant, bedazzled and totally off the wall — in the best way ever, of course. (Photo via NBC Universal)

16. Sabrina the Teenage Witch: You basically weren’t a ’90s girl if you didn’t have magazine rip-outs or posters on your bedroom walls of Melissa Joan Hart slaying it in a crushed velvet mini dress and platforms. Her outfits were pure 2000s magic and inspired many a trip to the mall. (Photo via ABC)

17. The Nanny: Let’s just say what needs to be said here: Fran Fine (aka the nanny of The Nanny) was way ahead of her time. Her coordinating mini skirt and blazer sets elevated the typical weekday ensembles, while her stunning sequin gowns were the life of every party. Not to mention, we would give anything to score one of Yetta Rosenburg’s sequin bomber jackets RN. (Photo via CBS)

18. Sister, Sister: If you’re getting ready in the morning and your outfit feels like it’s missing something, take a cue from this popular sitcom and just put a hat on. No show’s wardrobe department could rival the hat collection of Tia and Tamera Mowry, after all. Sister, Sister took twinning to the next level with just-mis-matched-enough ensembles. (Photo via ABC)

19. Lizzie McGuire: Nothing inspired a shopping trip to Limited Too quite like an episode of Lizzie McGuire. While her best accessory might’ve been the cartoon alter ego on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, we think her rhinestone headbands, platform Sketchers and cropped flares could’ve been a close second. (Photo via The Disney Channel)

20. The Good Wife: Now there’s a woman who knew the power of a pencil skirt. Saint Alicia always looked heavenly in her signature blazer and bodycon silhouettes. Because honestly, nothing makes you feel like a total #girlboss than putting on something that’s perfectly tailored. Never too fussy or over the top, all of Alicia’s looks were understated and chic. (Photo via CBS)

21. So Little Time: Nowadays, the Olsen twins are off creating minimalist chic pieces for their own lines. But little did we know, this ABC Family sitcom would be one of our last few chances to view Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s designer creations. On set, shrunken cardigans, cargo pants and clogs reigned supreme. Not to mention, this show is basically the reason why we begged our moms to let us get highlights. (Photo via ABC)

22. A Different World: We’ll put it this way: Whitley Gilbert gave us life. Her pleated trousers, over-the-top fur coats and puffy-sleeved wedding dress were unforgettable fashion moments. This Cosby Show spin-off also included equally noteworthy style moments from Denise (so many hair wraps!) and Maggie (that oversized denim jacket!). (Photo via NBC Universal)

23. Jane the Virgin: Okay, so the awful Marbella waitress uniform aside, this show actually takes a refreshingly realistic approach to wardrobe. We may not “ooh and ahh” over the breezy sundresses or “fancy” shorts, but we can appreciate these are items we’re more likely to find in our own closets. As if you needed more proof that Jane Villanueva is 100% relatable. (Photo via The CW)

24. The Mindy Project: Costume designer Salvador Perez is the mastermind behind Mindy’s bold ensembles that always pack a punch. And that’s not an easy task. With nearly 15 costume changes per episode, he still manages to outdo himself with each look and prove that Mindy looks radiant in literally every color under the sun. (Photo via Fox)

25. The Carrie Diaries: RIP The Carrie Diaries, you left us too soon. The premier stylist for teen dramas, Eric Daman created a wardrobe unicorn by blending the aesthetics of Sex and the City and Gossip Girl to create truly unique and totally fun outfits for every character on this show. Not to mention, the show is set in the ’80s, so the prom dress scenes are out of control. (Photo via The CW)

It Ends With Us drama is seemingly never-ending, from the back-and-forth accusations of Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni to the multi-million dollar lawsuits. As the feud continues to escalate, the legal situations evolve daily — and now a judge just paused Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit against the New York Times. Here's what's happening in this highly complex legal battle, and what it all means for the lawsuit in general.

Scroll to find out what this pause means for Justin Baldoni's $400 million lawsuit...

On January 16, 2025, Justin Baldoni filed a $400 million defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, their publicists, and the New York Times. By January 30, Blake and Ryan quickly filed to dismissthe suit with a single sentence: "The Lively-Reynolds Parties intend to move to dismiss Plaintiffs’ complaint."

According to Deadline, the New York Times also filed its own motion to dismiss the case on February 28, 2025. The media company wrote, "The Wayfarer Parties’ FAC tells a one-sided tale that has garnered plenty of headlines, but The Times does not belong in this dispute."

Now, a judge is seemingly siding with The Times by at least granting a pause on discovery for the lawsuit, according to E! News. Reporting from E! states that a motion was filed to "temporarily halt parties from having to exchange information or documents." Judge Lewis J. Liman granted the motion to pause, explaining that the media outlet has "substantial grounds" and "a strong showing that its motion to dismiss is likely to succeed on the merits."

Despite the Baldoni team's claims that this new window substantially shortens their time for discovery, Judge Liman maintained that "the burden of discovery is not measured only by the number of pages." And if we know anything about Baldoni's team? It's that they love to release lots and lots and lots of documents.

Judge Liman continued his decision by stating that Baldoni's team will be able to ask for the "extent of discovery" they need if the courts ultimately deny The Times' request. Still, he explained that "The Court intends to address the motion to dismiss promptly after it is fully submitted.”

A spokesperson for the New York Times told E! News, "We appreciate the court’s decision today, which recognizes the important First Amendment values at stake here. The court has stopped Mr. Baldoni from burdening The Times with discovery requests in a case that should never have been brought against."

Letting more than a decade pass without updates can quickly leave a home feeling outdated. That was the case for this Pasadena home, which remained frozen in the '80s and ’90s — until Amanda Leigh and Taylor Hahn of the celebrity-loved design firm House of Rolison stepped in to beautifully renovate and reimagine it. Their goal? To lean into the home's French-country architecture and transform the dated and dysfunctional space into a modern, light-filled space with moody vibes, vintage pieces, and luxury materials.

See the before and after of this French-inspired Pasadena renovation!

THE BEFORE

Prior to the renovation, the home was stuck in the past with a lime green exterior and a late 80s/early 90s design aesthetic, including dated flooring, cramped rooms, wall-to-wall carpeting, bulky kitchen cabinets and granite (granite!) countertops. Drumroll on the after....

THE AFTER

Gavin Cater

I'm in awe of this transformation. Amanda and Taylor enhanced the home’s original features, including the floor-to-ceiling windows, slate roof with beautifully patinated gutters and accents, and kept original lighting fixtures while adding a fresh coat of paint and modern landscaping. Gorgeous!

THE BEFORE: ENTRY AND LIVING ROOM

Courtesy of House of Rolison

Before diving into the renovation, take a look at the original living area and entryway. The space feels not just overdone, but also cold and uninviting. The bulky staircases (plural) dominate the entry, while the divider adds nothing to the warmth or flow of the space. The furniture feels stuck in another era, and that tiny rug? A total eyesore!

THE AFTER: LIVING AREA

Gavin Cater

The entry now is stunning, designed to make a statement with one staircase removed to create a charming seating nook and a more open, inviting flow into the cozy living space. The home now has 20-foot ceilings, an elegant formal living room topped with custom-stained cedar paneling, and a bespoke bar area showcasing beautifully restored red oak cabinetry.

Gavin Cater

Elegant furnishings with modern silhouettes and warm, earthy tones instantly elevate the home's aesthetic. The restored fireplace adds warmth and character to the room, while a well-proportioned rug enhances the cozy, inviting space.

THE BEFORE: KITCHEN

My eyes! This kitchen is a time capsule of outdated design, from the heavy granite countertops to the awkward circular layout that feels cramped and closed off.

Gavin Cater

"We opened up the kitchen to create a much more spacious and functional layout," says Taylor. "One of the key changes was expanding the kitchen’s visual space by installing double islands to create more prep space and an inviting area for family to gather."

Gavin Cater

They also removed a wall that separated the kitchen from the dining area, which not only opened up the space but also allowed natural light to flood in from both sides of the house. "The wood and paint-grade cabinetry allowed for contrast, and served as the perfect canvas for Calacatta Viola marble and absolute black slabs. The matte black hardware we used throughout the cabinetry and railings added a modern touch," adds Amanda.

Gavin Cater

Amanda and Taylor revamped the '90s kitchen into a chic and design-forward space by adding a moody breakfast nook for the family to gather. Find more banquette inspiration here!

Another challenge was optimizing the natural light — some rooms had very little natural light while others had plenty, so they introduced skylights where it was lacking. "We maximized the layout, lighting, and use of space while adding crucial design factors to make the property stand out," says Taylor.

Gavin Cater

Striking a balance between light and dark, the dining room features a rich brown and black palette that enhances its moody, earthy aesthetic while beautifully framing the outdoor views.

Gavin Cater

"The defining highlight for us is how we were able to preserve the home’s original charm while modernizing it to meet the physical and aesthetic needs of a modern family," says Amanda. The design duo kept the architectural integrity intact, but enhanced the functionality and warmth.

Gavin Cater

Taylor and Amanda restored the fireplace to its original brick, "but not how you might think," says Taylor. "We went through multiple processes to come to the final product. First attempting to remove paint, then micro cementing the fireplace, and at the very end we wanted to have the warmth and beauty of used brick. So we had to source used brick to satisfy the color and size needs for our room and proceeded to install."

Gavin Cater

Marble and matte black hardware was also used in the bathrooms, creating a cohesive and luxurious feel throughout the home.

Gavin Cater

"We chose natural materials like warm oak wood, used brick, and natural stones to blend with the moldings and historic feel of the home," says Amanda. The soft goods complement these harder materials with natural linens and vintage style rugs.

Gavin Cater

Touches of nature are woven throughout the home, subtly appearing in the artwork and décor.

Gavin Cater

The adorable kids room is a clean canvas with neutral decor and a rich amber-colored rug.

Gavin Cater

The outdoors is just as stunning. The pair upgraded the pool tile to a cle rust brown tile to modernize and warm up the pool. "We take landscaping our homes very seriously, so when it came to this home we had to go all out," says Amanda. Grass, olive trees, ficus, vines and more create a serene environment for years to come.

Gavin Cater

"The idea was to create a connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape — bringing the outside in," adds Taylor. "The seamless integration of indoor-outdoor living and the design of the kitchen as the heart of the home really stand out."
