Stars revive most iconic looks - Britney's hot pants, Clueless couture and Friends dress

The entertainment industry has introduced some truly iconic looks throughout the decades.

From Jennifer Aniston's wedding dress in Friends to Sarah Jessica Parker's Sex and the City tutu, there are some fashion moments that are too big to be forgotten.

And from time to time, the stars love to slip back into their fame-making outfits and share the results with fans.

Yesterday, Baywatch star Pamela Anderson, 55, revealed she's still got her cherry red swimsuit from the show, admitting she still wears it.

"I had a couple back then. Now I only have one and it fits," the actress who played lifeguard CJ Parker on the 1990s show told Entertainment Tonight. "I put it on every once in a while."

She's not the only star who likes to give their famous outfits an occasional airing...

Aged just 25 when she appeared on the show, the Carmen Electra wore her famous swimsuit for a magazine shoot aged 40 in 2013.

"Once I got it on, I felt amazing," she told In Touch magazine. "It was a million times better than I thought it would be."

The 50-year-old US star also modelled the bathing suit during a Halloween edition of The Today Show and credits a diet of lean protein with her stunning figure.

Gwen Stefani - Don't Speak

In April 2021, Gwen dusted off the trend-setting dress she wore for her Don't Speak music video 25 years earlier.

The 53-year-old singer shared a clip of herself in the blue polka dot dress that she first wore way back in 1996 complete with the same hairclips and black jelly bracelets.

"Happy 25 years of #dontspeak gx #letmereintroducemyself," she captioned the video, referencing her fifth studio album, Let Me Reintroduce Myself.

"Here I am, Don't Speak. Look at that."

Britney Spears - Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know

When Britney shared an Instagram clip of her dancing in tint denim cutoffs in 2018, one eagle-eyed fan immediately recognised the shorts.

Showbiz journalist and Britney fan Matt Stopera quickly alerted his followers to the fact that Britney was wearing her shorts from 2001 some 17 years later.

"Holy s***. Britney Spears literally still has the shorts from her Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know (gorgeous) video," he tweeted.

"Her insta today vs the video in 2000. Imagine being this humble? You can't bc your fav is NOT!"

Jennifer Lopez - that Versace Dress

JLo launched herself as a global fashion icon when she turned up to the 2000 Grammys wearing a plunging Versace dress.

And 20 years later she revived the look, receiving a standing ovation when she hit the catwalk at the Versace Spring/Summer 2020 Milan Fashion Week show.

And the 53-year-old opened up about the dress that made fashion history, admitting she didn't think it would be a big deal.

Recalling standing on the red carpet at the start of the Millennium, she told her YouTube followers: "All of a sudden you start hearing a little murmur. I'm thinking, it's the Grammys. It has to be somebody famous behind us.

"It was a frenzy. The flashes started going in a way that it's not usually. There was an extra kinetic energy there.

"I was like what the hell is going on? I had no idea it was about this dress."

Jennifer Aniston - Monica's Friends dress

At the Friends reunion, Jennifer Aniston admitted to stealing one of co-star Courteney Cox's outfits from the show when filming ended in 2004.

"I went into her line of clothes and I pulled out a dress that Monica wore," she said of the frock worn by Courteney's character in 2001.

"I still have it and wear [it] to this day and it fits. It's floral with black lace, tiny little flowers, a V-neck and little ruffle cap sleeves."

And the 53 year old recently sent fans wild by wearing the exact dress on Instagram while posing with her hairstylist Chris McMillan.

"Does the dress look familiar? Still got it!" she told fans.

Reese Witherspoon - Legally Blonde

It's one of her most iconic roles to date, and Reese admitted she had the luxury of keeping her entire wardrobe as it was written in her contract.

Speaking on The Graham Norton Show in 2019, the actress shared: "I was in England making the Importance of Being Earnest when Legally Blonde came out in America.

"When I went home my life had changed forever."

Reese, 46, went on to unveil that she did in fact keep the 77 pairs of Jimmy Choos as well as the clothes.

"I had it written in my contract! I didn't touch them until the 15th anniversary and then had a lot of fun trying them on with my daughter."

For the occasion, she slipped back into Elle's 'First Day Of School' striped top and flat cap before modelling her character's pink bunny ears - although she stopped short of wearing the pink satin basque.

Alicia Silverstone - Clueless

Alicia's Clueless outfits were as iconic as the film itself.

The 46-year-old actress was allowed to take all of her character Cher's outfits home with her, but quickly realised she didn't know what to do with them.

"I tried to wear them in real life, then I realised, 'I'm not Cher. I still want to just put on some jeans and a t-shirt and my tennis shoes.'

"I didn't find a way to use those in my real life and I gave them all away."

However, fans were thrilled when she recreated the look for an episode of Lip Sync Battle.
