Alexx’s Sunglasses - CSI Miami (S2-S6)

Alexx woods wears these (now vintage) Chanel interlocking logo sunglasses throughout her time on CSI Miami. This model/style is 5030

I believe i first spotted them in a s2 episode but they continue up into her final series on the show as the Miami Dade medical examiner (season 6) .

The picture i used for comparison is from 5x10. but i have also spotted them in 3x01, 3x08, 3x15, 3x16, 3x18 and 6x06 (that i have noted so far on rewatches & from stills from IMDB/Paramount Plus)

Lynn’s Skirt - Girlfriends 3x01

At Joan’s “Ex party” Lynn wears a maxi skirt by Marc Jacobs. The skirt in the comparison photo is a slightly lighter brown but still has the same floral patterned accents.

Marc Jacobs can do no wrong in my book, neither can Stacy Beverly (the costume designer for girlfriends for majority of the shows run).

my anxiety can’t decide if i should start a tik tok for this page…

Mayas dress - Girlfriends 5x16

To the opening of the J Spot, Maya (now a published authoress) wears a dress by marc jacobs. This was featured on the runway as a part of the S/S 2004 Collection.

This dress may look familiar as it was also worn by Rachel Bilson in the O.C. 2x05 as Summer’s dress to the SnO.C/the winter dance.

(i have now found some episodes of girlfriends on YT and am taking my screenshots from there)

Lynn’s Bag - Girlfriends 5x08

In the 5x08. BTW is the one where she orders a kangaroo, Joan has a heart arrhythmia, We are introduced to the show ambush and Joan pulls a spider-man…. So many great moments.

Anyway, Lynn carries a bag from the L.A.M.B by Gwen Stefani x Lesportsac collab. This seems to be the mini barrel bag, but i couldn’t find any in the same variant, so the comparisons at the top of this post are not exact matches!

(Pls ignore how terrible quality my photo is! but it is def the barrel shape and scale)

Below is one which is an exact match in a different style (the backstage bag.) Hers seems to be the muted pink /red/black rather than white/red/green/yellow.

She also carries this bag when she goes with her biological father to the paramount studio tour in 5x09 and then later to Toni’s baby shower in 5x19

Fun Fact: The tote bag in the white/multi print was also carried by Marissa Cooper in various episodes of the O.C. season 2! (pictured below in 2x03 and 2x20)

I didn’t know there was such an active IASIP fandom on tumblr

Dee’s Dress - It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia 3x08

This dress Dee wears to the club seems to be a tunic/blouse/mini dress from Mango.

I did not realise Mango was available in the USA today, let alone in 2007/2008, but according to my research their first USA stores opened in New York and California in 2006. And sure it makes sense because other European retailers like Zara and H&M were/are popular.

And IASIP split/splits filming and production between Philly and… California

TV shows like Gossip Girl would match high end bags/shoes with Zara blouses and french toast skirts. Or famously have Blair Waldorf wear a H&M dress and a Marc Jacobs dress in the same episode (yes in the flashback to thanksgiving before serena went to boarding school blair wears a h&m dress - and serena wears forever 21 lol!)*

I was originally thinking this could be a situation like the coat Summer wore in the O.C 2x14, where multiple brands had made coats with the same fabric - and that could still be the case!

But the pattern and details on this one are identical so i’m calling it a match. Especially the area where the sleeves connect to the main torso section, you can see where the seams line up to the pattern.

* EDIT: obligatory “the o.c did it first” in terms of matching designer accessories/shoes with more affordable clothing.

Lynn’s dress - Girlfriends 2x11 & 2x14

In multiple Girlfriends season 2 episodes, Lynn wears a cherry dress by Marc Jacobs.

This is in the episodes “you better watch out” whilst decorating joan’s house for christmas and “willie or won’t he ii: the final chapter” when attending Yvonne’s wedding shower.

Her fashion in S2 does have a period where she wears primarily long sleeves with maxi skirts or trousers in a darker color palette. This is a clear departure from that.

Also considering Lynn is living in Mayas Mom’s garage at this point how did she get a Marc Jacobs dress? Although maybe she managed to get it via Joan or Toni?

You can also see a background extra wear this dress in S4 when joan has the auction!

Rita’s Blazer - Arrested Development 3x05

In the episode titled…. 🎶Mr F🎶….. Rita (portrayed by Charlize Theron) wears a silk blazer by Juicy Couture.

I have actually had this one IDed in the drafts of my blogspot from 2022-2023 but for some reason never posted jt? but now since i’m using this page more often I probably should start posting those drafts here!

This is quite a fun and fitting choice - Rita (although played by a South African actress) is a British character and Juicy Couture’s non tracksuit clothing drew some inspiration from British fashion/imagery: the tartan or argyle knit pieces, scottie dogs, rugby style polo shirts and even at one point using imagery of queen elizabeth ii on shirts (obligatory fuck the royals)

Fun Fact: One of the brands founders Gela (the G in love P&G) is married to John Taylor, of Duran Duran and spends a lot of time in the UK.

Catherine’s tank top - CSI 6x01

Catherine wears a knit tank by Missoni. The stripes all line up, but the ruffled/ scalloped bottom of the piece is tucked into her pants.

Obligatory mention that this top is part of the outfit she wears when Catherine and Warrick talk about his marriage & acknowledging that there was some sort of crush there.

The photo I have used above is from a listing on the RealReal.

Dee’s track pants - It’s always sunny in Philadelphia 2x06

In the gang gives back, dee wears Juicy Couture snap pocket track pants in a green color. I have tried to find a good match online but also aware that Juicy would make like 5-10 variations on primary colors, so idk if it’s an exact match.

I do however think that this would likely be a pair from late 2004- early 2006 which would have the “love P&G” logo and color coded tags. Just basing this off of the fact that the jacket i posted about also has this same tag!

[2000stvcloset]

Sweet Dee’s jacket - It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia 2x06

In “the gang gives back” Dee wears a gilet by Juicy Couture. I have been able to find this online in various other color ways (green/navy/pink, red/orange/yellow and brown/light/hot pink) but not in the black/grey/white that dee wears.

It is definitely Juicy as you can see the large J zip. and the same color block pattern with the stripes that run up the side.

Chastity’s dress - 10 things i hate about you

I tried to post this earlier on work wifi and it flopped so trying again. I’m just summarising my previous post from memory 💔💔

Chastity (portrayed by Gabrielle Union) wears a midi dress by Betsey Johnson to prom. I was aware of this previously (as i have a mini dress in this snake pattern - also seen on Ling in Ally Mcbeal S2) but have only seen the exact match come up this morning!

Below is a behind the scenes photo where you can see more of the dress.

Technically my blog is named 2000stvcloset and i’m not 100% sure if i will post any more movies content BUT i have added a movies section to my mobile navigation post incase i do have any others to post.

Ling’s dress - Ally Mcbeal 3x05

To Ally’s disaster thanksgiving, Ling wears this fun 60s inspired shift dress.

The dress is from the brand “girlfriend by silversilk”. I have tried to research this brand and it seems to be a female counterpart to the silversilk menswear brand? it’s honestly quite hard to tell because there isn’t much information out there. A jewellery company also has the name silversilk but i couldn’t find anything about a clothing collection related to them?

If anyone has any memories or knowledge of this brand let me know! I was also able to find a press photo online where you can see she paired this with boots.
