STYLE

Cheetah print is *totally* in rn! If you ask us, seeing this purrfect print resurge is making us nostalgic for one of our fave 2000s DCOMs: The Cheetah Girls. 

Looking to incorporate this bold n' groovy Y2K trend into your wardrobe? Then, look no further because GL's compiled fits inspired by your fave Cheetah Girls that'll leave you looking (and feeling!) cheetah-licious, all year long! 

If your fave Cheetah Girl is Chanel...

Cheetah hair scarf, $9, Ego. Thin medium hoop earrings, $7.99, Target. White crop tank, $5.99, Hollister. Ruched velvet jacket, $48, Poshmark. Cheetah side slit low rise mini skirt, $14, Cider. Cheetah shoulder bag, $33.60, Edikted.

Chanel's style is *the* defintion of glam with an edge. Satin, tweed, fringe...she's a pro at mixing n' matching prints! You can emulate her vibe by playing around with bold patterns and textures.

Reach for a basic tank, pair with a cheetah print pencil skirt (Chanel's fave) and opt for a faux fur or a ruched velvet jacket to add extra flair to your fit. Pro Tip: our girl Chanel would *never* leave home without her trusty pair of hoops. Pop in a pair of hoop earrings (gold or silver, whichever's your vibe) and you've got the vibe!

If your fave Cheetah Girl is Aqua...

Cheetah dress, $62, Hazel & Olive. Faux leather shacket, $29.99, Forever 21.

When it comes to Aqua's style, she stuns in feminine yet flirty fits with a sassy twist. Think: lots of lace trim, tulle skirts and A-line dresses.

To get her look, we say opting for an cheetah print dress and a chic faux leather shacket or a vest is key. Slip on some black knee-high boots and you've got an Aqua-approved ensemble!

If your fave Cheetah Girl is Galleria...

@thehaileylynne   @essencegu_
Off the shoulder long sleeve cheetah top, $25, ASOS. White flare jeans, $29.99, AE. Silver star earrings, $7.89, Amazon.

Galleria's looks are *all* about making a statement! Funky patterns, stylish blouses and eye-catching accessories are essentials to this Cheetah Sister. 

To channel Galleria's style vibe, reach for a cheetah print longsleeve and pair with flared white jeans. Bonus: grab some silver star earrings and you'll be twinning with Galleria's look from the first Cheetah Girls flick. Meow! 

If your fave Cheetah Girl is Dorinda...

@thehaileylynne   @that2000spage

Dorinda's style is cool, effortless and perf for everyday wear! Get her cool girl style by rocking a trendy denim-on-denim look (and don't forget the cheetah print belt!). Pro Tip: top it off with a pair of chunky gold hoops and a fur lined jacket to emulate Dorinda's "The Party's Just Begun" ensemble.
