Some outfits are so closely tied to a character that just a glimpse of a yellow plaid blazer brings Clueless to mind, a red one-piece swimsuit instantly signals Baywatch, and an all-pink wardrobe makes you want to secretly enroll at Harvard Law and ask, “What, like it’s hard?” Actors usually don’t get to keep the costumes they wore, but these nine managed to put them back on—sometimes decades later.
Ashley Tisdale — High School Musical
It had been ten years since High School Musical, and in that time Ashley Tisdale had two children. When she found Sharpay Evans’ clothes in storage, she couldn’t resist trying them on. She slipped into several outfits, but the blue sparkly dress from “Bop to the Top” was the one that excited fans the most.
Taylor Momsen — How the Grinch Stole Christmas
The Taylor Momsen we know today as the frontwoman of The Pretty Reckless couldn’t be further from her Cindy Lou Who character. Yet for the film’s 25th anniversary, she put on the same dress for a photoshoot—and it still kind of fit.
Fran Drescher — The Nanny
Fran’s wardrobe on The Nanny was peak ’90s kitsch, and we loved every second of it. The stripy vest, the statement jackets, her fuzzy robe—it all brings back memories. So imagine the excitement when Fran Drescher put her most iconic outfits back on decades later and posted it on TikTok.
