Nostalgia
Turns out,How Stella Got Her Groove Backwas a bellwether for what wed wear today.
First, theres Regina Kings bob.
Taye Diggs Jamaican accent.
Every bit of dialogue that comes out of Stellas son Quincys mouth.
(Why was an 11-year-old speaking like he had a mortgage to pay?
)Even Whoopi Goldberg identifying as abig old ho slut actually no, lets keep that one.
But unlike many of the plot points, the fashion in the film holds up.
The films fashion comes courtesy of Academy Awardwinning costume designerRuth E. Carter.
We meet Stella as shes running in slow motion at dawn.
The dialogue hits you over the head this is a working woman!
This is a girlboss!
and her clothing affirms it.
Stella Payne ran soHarper fromIndustrycould fly.
Stella Payne flew so I could have a serious-seeming LinkedIn photo.
Neutrals are a staple in Stellas closet, an off-hours alternative to her black workwear.
Everything about her says she has disposable income and shes not afraid to spend it.
Shes serious about Banana Republic and she doesnt play about Theory.
If you wear both, you might be bisexual.
(*Raises hand.
And truly, Stellas style has laid the groundwork for mine.
Shes a woman with range.
A coastal elite cool girl.
A runner, a track star!
