STYLE

If you were a Disney Channel fan in the 2000s or the 2010s, you know just how influential gals like Alex Russo or Hannah Montana were to the fashion scene. Big belts, lots of layers, funky headbands—the stars were always decked out in the cutest trends from head to toe.

And the best part? Those Y2K styles are totally making a comeback. So, in celebration of Disney Channel's 40th anniversary (peep the nostalgic compilation below, but bring the tissues first), we decided to put a modern (and v. wearable) twist on your fave Disney Channel gals' outfit choices.

Grab your magic wand and draw those Mickey ears, because we're taking a trip down memory lane...or shall we say runway?

Lizzie McGuire

Top, $20, Cider. Jeans, $50, Hollister. Shoes, $100, Circus NY. Clips, $4, Cider.

Lizzie's closet is Y2K fashion at its finest—one reason why we're beyond excited to see this era making a comeback. To snag her look for yourself, pair a candy-colored crochet top with flare jeans. Platform sandals are a practically right of passage for this turn-of-the-century vibe. Don't forget the butterfly clips (and the flip phone accessory if you want to be *really* extra). This outfit? What dreams are made of.

Raven Baxter

Top, $24, Cider. Pants, $28, Cider. Boots, $188, Schutz. Necklace, $38, Free People.

Everyone's favorite psychic is also everyone's favorite fashion icon. Raven's larger-than-life personality shines through her bold fashion choices. To channel this confident cutie's eccentric vibe, mix and match jewel tones (think: amber, amethyst and ruby) in contrasting fabrics (we heart the faux-fur + corduroy combo). Finish your look with a statement boot and the chunkiest jewelry you can find. (Psst...we can see into the future, and you look fabulous in this fit.)

Hannah Montana

Top, $128, J.Crew. Jacket, $39, LifeShe. Jeans, $70, Chico's Off the Rack. Shoes, $170, Dr. Martens. Belt, $4, Shein. Gloves, $13, Claire's.

This pop princess's wardrobe gives country chic and red carpet glam all in one (might we say it's the best of both worlds?). Level up a pair of white jeans with a sequined top and matching lace-up boots, then pop on a pearly denim jacket. A rhinestone belt and biker gloves will have you ready to take the stage (or ready for an impromptu karaoke sesh in front of your bedroom mirror—we won't judge).

Alex Russo

Cardigan, $18, Cider. Dress, $15, Shein. Shoes, $90, Converse. Necklace, $11, Pull&Bear. Ring, $28, Pull&Bear. Bracelet (similar), $13, GelConnie.

Alex Russo bewitched us all with her magic powers and killer eye for fashion, so it's only right that we take a bit of inspo from the wizards. You can't get more 2010s than a cardi over a sundress. Keep it casual with a pair of Converse, then put a spell on your look with funky jewelry.

London Tipton

Top, $18, Cider. Skirt, $25, H&M. Shoes, $100, Circus NY. Beret, $17, Gllutt. Scarf, $10, Nania. Earrings, $14, Express.

We're calling it now: Tiptoncore is the new plazacore. London is *the* girly fashion inspo of the 2000s. A crisp button-down + mini-skirt combo will have you feeling like a million bucks. To up the luxe factor, go for a beret and silk neckerchief (and your go-to heels, ofc). Yay you!

Mal Bertha

Jacket, $100, New York & Company. Tank top, $8, Cider. Pants, $65, Express. Boots, $180, Dr. Martens. Bracelet, $8, Skeleteen.

Feeling wicked? Edgy vibes abound with this fierce look (hint: it's all about the leather). Stick to dark hues (plum purple is our pick, but you can't go wrong with green, black and magenta, too) and silver accents. A statement cuff gives villain vibes in the best possible way.

We know, the nostalgia is *real*. Share your favorite Disney Channel memory or moment using the hashtag #MyDisneyChannel for a chance to get featured on Disney Channel's official Instagram, Twitter, TikTok or Facebook accounts!
