POSTED BY ALEXANDRA GRIECO

With the 20-year trend cycle in full force, Y2K fashion has resurfaced for Generation Z. Early-2000s children, now adults, are recreating the pop diva and reality TV star styles of their dreams. High-waist pants have dropped to eye-popping low-rises, purses have shrunk to snuggle right under the shoulder, and hair has been slicked back into spikey buns. Now, a new aughts craze has time-traveled into the fashion forefront. Embellished jeans are hitting the runways and flooding Instagram feeds, bringing back the beloved so-tacky-it’s-good design with modern twists. 

Blumarine, Dolce & Gabanna, Denim Tears, Area, and Bodied by Uchis are just a handful of brands embroidering jeans with sparkles or patches. Celebrities, past and present, are serving as inspiration for this trend revival. Here is a look at all the style icons flaunting their bedazzled denim.
