Y2K Style: Check out these 2000’s inspired outfits
It has been two long years since the last public, but after much waiting and anticipation, McMurtry finally held the first public of the year this past Saturday March 26: Y2K. Donning butterfly clips and fishnet, jerseys and glitter, Rice students drew inspiration from decades-olds trends for the party. The Rice community submitted their best 2000’s-inspired outfits from the weekend to the Thresher for us to compile.
Saanya Bhargava
McMurtry College junior
Inspiration: “For my Y2K outfit, I decided to cut the McMurtry Y2K shirt to make it look cute, used rainbow elastics for my bubble braids, wore bell-bottom jeans and glitter eyeshadow! The hair totally reminded me of my childhood.”
Ariah Richards
McMurtry College freshman
Inspiration: “Showing midriff and wearing sunglasses”
Caleb Dukes
Lovett College senior
Inspiration: “My childhood meets the classic butterfly clip girl.”
Jazmine Castillo
McMurtry College junior
Inspiration: “My inspiration was emo/pop punk subculture. Layers, multiple textures/patterns, all in black of course.”
