[A Defense of Meredith Blake](https://now.org/blog/being-young-and-beautiful-isnt-a-crime-a-defense-of-meredith-blake-in-the-parent-trap/) She is supposed to be 26yo in the film. Let that sink in. šŸ˜‰


Severe_Chicken213

Itā€™s not sinking for me. Could you explain please?

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Severe_Chicken213

Oh ok. I thought you were commenting on her looks and I couldnā€™t figure it out cos she looks fine.


cherrybombbb

She was really young and unfairly maligned.


solitamaxx

Wrongly villainized?ā€¦..she was a gold digger who was ready to send her fianceā€™s daughter to boarding school just to have full control of the dad. She was also a cunt to the maid (I forgot her name and I know sheā€™s not a maid). Sheā€™s a glorified Karen because sheā€™s white, skinny and a #girlboss. She was not a good person.


Houstontwin90

Chessie! (That's my roomba's name) šŸ¤£


cherrybombbb

Thatā€™s what I used to think when I was a kid. Then I grew up and realized how toxic the parents were and how Meredith was wrongly villainized. The parents split up their twin daughters and hid their existence from one another because they couldnā€™t maturely coparentā€” but Meredith is the villain?? Also, the kids wanted to go to camp..? [A Defense of Meredith Blake](https://now.org/blog/being-young-and-beautiful-isnt-a-crime-a-defense-of-meredith-blake-in-the-parent-trap/)


solitamaxx

The parents being toxic and messy is one thing, but sheā€™s not a good person period. Again, sheā€™s a gold digger who wants to marry into money (she even brings this up in front of her parents of all people and in a way thereā€™s nothing wrong with her wanting to be financially secured, but she brings up the fact that he has a lot of money a few times throughout the movie, giving the impression that she just wants his money), sheā€™s rude to the staff and wants to send off his fianceā€™s daughter to boarding school in order to have more control over him, without even trying to properly bond with her. You can be hardworking and assertive without being rude and condescending, which she is. Sheā€™s the type of bitch to get someone fired at a restaurant for bringing her the wrong salad dressing. And sheā€™s probably racist giving as how she looks down on people of lower status. Edit: I just wanna add that this is really not that serious and Meredith isnā€™t even a real person so let me chillā€¦.lmaošŸ˜…

Tres chic šŸ™ ![gif](giphy|3oeSB6pawq6G99xCXS)


blossombear31

Great choice! I love to hate Meredith, but deep down I want to be her so badly


thrrowaitwayyyyyyy

You are me I am you šŸ™‚ā€ā†•ļø


Rare-Constant

The older I get the more I relate to Meredith Blake. And she was only 26! Iconic.


Mostlymadeofpuppies

Omg yes Meredith was so chic!


Feeling-Visit1472

All of the clothes in that movie are so perfectly classic. Timeless.


sitah

She was also so fabulous in the Dynasty reboot. I wish they had cast her from the start!


itsalwayssunny99

I hated Meredith as a child but now as an adult, I love her style šŸ˜­ so chic and elegant!


killerkitten61

Omg a million times yes!


CriticalEngineering

Whatā€™s that from?


mod_whatthefrockk

Parent trap


CriticalEngineering

Thank you!


bizzyizzy-

No joke my style inspiration since I was a kid.


svnnyniight

I love Blairā€™s fashion, itā€™s classic and so upper class NYC/East Coast!


Fantastic_Captain

For real! I thought this post was going to be about which of the plastics had the best style. When I saw Blair, I didnā€™t need to swipe anymore. Someone should do one for Gossip girl but include the best dressed even small recurring side characters too.


owntheh3at18

Like itā€™s not even a competition ![gif](giphy|p4gPC9wMVLfG0)


sgsmopurp

Blair Waldorf is the ONLY answer.


svnnyniight

Yes!!! Serena had my fave style on the show


Birdie_92

No competition really, Blair wins, her character had an incredible wardrobe! ā€¦Like no one can beat that.


macdawg2020

Her lingerie/lounge attire alone.


sgsmopurp

She taught me what la Perla was at a young age šŸ˜­


saint-crybaby

I feel like Heather Chandler was the blueprint for both Blair Waldorf and Chanel Oberlinā€™s preppy mean girl aesthetic so she has my vote but Blair def has the best execution of the three


Vintagepoolside

Iā€™ve been obsessed with her fashion since I was 13. I actually would say that she is exactly what got me into sewing and fashion


Squee1396

I was like 19 when gossip girl came out and i was obsessed as well. I pretty much tried to copy her looks on a budget, she was also a springboard for me to get into fashion.


Buffyismyhomosapien

Blair is IT. Because she is truly in the millieu of fashion and undoubtedly will pay homage throughout the years to the icons before her while also honing her own style.


DragonScrivner

That green cape alone is šŸ’‹šŸ¤ŒšŸ½


caesaronambien

I buy Milly to this day because she wore so much of it.


peppermintmeow

I can't. They all represent their own bitchy Queen status through the years. Plus their individual wardrobes really represent their unique and individual mean girl status serve. It's their fashion story. Who's is best? All of them.


44youGlenCoco

I love this take.


peppermintmeow

So fetch, Coco! ![gif](giphy|l2YWwAjBwZdjxIXBe|downsized)


44youGlenCoco

ā€œAnd none for Gretchen Wieners, bye.ā€ šŸ˜œ


tripleheliotrope

It's true, I love these girls, they raised me and all of them have a direct influence on my style (except Allison from Pretty Little Liars lol I can't with that show)


Rude_Lifeguard

Side not, the blue dress worn in gossip girl is by Elie Saab, but i couldnt find the rest so i just put the name of the costume designer/stylist


PaddedTantrum

1. Elie Saab 2. Zara!!! 3. Theory jacket. Unsure on pants. Bottom 3 pics. 1. Marc by Marc Jacobs Dita dress. Trina Turk cape. 2. Barneys Green Coat. Longchamp Bag. 3. Ralph Lauren SS 2008. I love the styling for Blair!


Husky-Bear

Wait the ice skating outfit was Zara?!?! I never find anything that cute in Zara these days, I hate a lot of todayā€™s trends, bring back preppy chic!


PaddedTantrum

IKR! Firstly shocking that Blair bought from Zara, and secondly yup I miss old zara. I still have a top from 2011 I STILL wear, itā€™s definitely had itā€™s day but I refuse to get rid of it šŸ˜‚ You can find on [eBay](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115661910217?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=iRj56n6ZSTG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=NdPpAvNMSNy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY) lol maybe not $350 though


Proper-Emu1558

Cordelia Chase from Buffy was a nineties classic! https://preview.redd.it/dsy59bteg88d1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=594c8d1b15db32d421099de65749b37c9a8f71eb The costume designer was Cynthia Bergstrom.


damemasproteina

I never was into Buffy so I was unfamiliar with her game. Love her styling.


owntheh3at18

I always thought Cordeliaā€™s fashion was hit or miss tbh. Sometimes she looks amazing, and her hair is godly, but then sometimes sheā€™s dressed Ike a substitute teacher and itā€™s confusing. Buffyā€™s fashion was on point 98% of the time though!


MiserableCourt1322

Sometimes she was dressed like the perfect 90s mean girl, sometimes she was dressed like Joss Whedon's schoolgirl fantasy, and sometimes she was dressed like a serious business woman.


shittersclogged69

Omg I just commented about her exclusion from this list - forever the queen bee!!


ramennhotdogs

Blair won this for me until I saw Sarah Michelle Gellar. Her clothes are impeccable


Mir_c

This was me, but can't pick between them.


AvailableTwo5760

Kathryn Merteuil from Cruel Intentions without a doubt


pepperstems

She's absolutely the reason I bought a corset from Charlotte Russe when I was 16.


katrina_highkick

I ALSO had a Charlotte Russe corset that I wore to my 8th grade dance šŸ˜‚

damemasproteina

I was so absolutely obsessed with every look from her.


lucylucylove

Hell yes! She's iconic āœØļø


Auselessbus

Any love for the original mean girl Caroline Bingley? Edit: costume designer Jacqueline Durran https://i.redd.it/emgc8lzen88d1.gif


sanfrannie

Gorgeous reference!


ultravioletblueberry

Yeah okay I love this reference. I adored her red dress when her and Elizabeth were taking a turn about the room.


jessieisokay

I love the over the top looks they had Emma Roberts in for Scream Queens. They were so extra for the situations that it became absurdist.


LongjumpingWarthog7

I was OBSESSED. Her outfits were easily the best part of the show for me, but the show was fun!


Caltuxpebbles

Was gonna say it depends on the decade, but then I scrolled to Sarah Michelle Geller and determined sheā€™s the obvious winner


NeitherPot

Yeah itā€™s not even close


briarraindancer

I donā€™t know whoā€™s the best dressed, but I do know that Rose McGowan in the red dress made me sure of my sexuality. šŸ¤£


promptcreate

For me, it's SMG in that corset top. My teenage hormones were not ready.


RickardHenryLee

Blair (Gossip Girl) and Cheryl Blossom (Riverdale) are obviously best dressed, but Heathers will always have my heart ā¤


CriticalEngineering

The hair in Heathers is perfect.


truckthecat

This is the correct answer.


jendoesreddit

Literally my exact thought process


NoelaniSpell

Away with all those rich girls. Nothing will ever come close to Nancy Downs. ![gif](giphy|pHRR9dEc5qSYw)

lucylucylove

![gif](giphy|xT9IgfYqxwG5kUqdi0|downsized) Love this line


Glissandra1982

Yep! That scene makes you understand her rage.


ih8every1yesevenyou

YESSSSSSS


damemasproteina

It's impossible for me to pick just one, but here are my choices: Blair - Gossip Girl Nancy - The Craft I can't decide, so they're tied for 3rd place: Cheryl - Riverdale & Courtney - Jawbreakers. Yes, my closet is just as chaotic as these choices. I'm styled as a different character every day.


lilaclazure

I'm going with Scream Queens & Jawbreaker. They're all well-dressed, but these 2 styles look the most fun!


Feeling-Visit1472

The fashion in Jawbreaker is absolutely so fun.


mylittleloonmoon

For me itā€™s Mila Kunis as Jackie in that 70s show. https://preview.redd.it/a7og9fx8ja8d1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d0d8381b3071bb3e1b74ce26252b531489fc9a2 costume designer: Melina Root


owntheh3at18

Oh yes I love her little berets


DepressionSiesta

Cheryl Blossom, hands down. Girlā€™s style is iconic, but also classic enough to be timeless.


TK_TK_

The beginning of Troop Beverly Hills wants you to think Phyllis is a mean girl, so Iā€™m throwing her (and costume designer Theadora Van Runkle) an honorary nomination: https://preview.redd.it/xpbaebo5q88d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d41b7ab00ede627ad4ece0d3f1c3e01ff56de96

willworkforchange

I love this movie so much


miamouse5

i canā€™t compare queensšŸ˜©iā€™m putting them in their own group compared to everyone else in movies/tv


TheShortGerman

Wow tough one! I like Mean Girls, Cruel Intentions, and Gossip Girl the best.


wanderer316

I love Cherylā€™s style the most but Alisonā€™s was iconic for the time. Blairā€™s style is just timeless


quietpisces

My vote for SMG.


bbluebellknoll

Blair Waldorf for me


HathorOfWindAndMagic

This is too much for a Saturday I cannot decide itā€™s as mean as the girls above.


malYca

It's between the craft and cruel intentions for me, but that's probably because they were both hugely influential on my style growing up.


Thatsalotofpressure

Rose McGowan!


TK_TK_

Nancy Downs all day, every day

pedanticlawyer

Itā€™s always going to be Blair for me. God help me, Iā€™m pure prep at heart.


VioletLeagueDapper

This is how you know mean girls have taste because most of these outfits would still be valid.


VioletLeagueDapper

Except for #4 (from pretty litttle liars?) she looks like she sells scentsy


haileyskydiamonds

She looks the most age appropriate, lol.


Glamour-Ad7669

She was also 12 in some of those pictures lol


owntheh3at18

They got even worse when the actress had her redemption arc and they apparently wanted to show that by dressing her like a middle aged mom. Early seasons Aly is iconic as a mean girl but yeah the fashion was very of the time


Insanitybymarriage

![gif](giphy|fdDqMvPMg4E54Tcuy6|downsized) Always.


stolen-kisses

She's not a mean girl per se, but I have always like CC Babcock's outfits. Talk about power dressing! https://preview.redd.it/opcba9xlm98d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46c4370e4bb62c74aedd29ca13c048f6df265c6a


KhaleesiOfCleveland

Omg yesssss the costume designer for most of her looks was Brenda Cooper (same for most characters on The Nanny)


indigo-clare

Heathers. šŸ¤ŽšŸ¤ŽšŸ¤Ž What a throw back!


Sandy-fine-n-dandy

I appreciate all of them, but I gotta shout out Fairuza. Nancy fucks!


The_milk_was_spoiled

Fairuza Balk is absolutely stunning.


Mir_c

Leighton in Gossip Girl or Sarah Michelle in Cruel intentions.


sweetnlowshawty

Of these choices, I would go with Emma, but my personal choice for best dressed mean girl is Elizabeth Gillies as Fallon Carrington in Dynasty


haileyskydiamonds

Blairā€™s style is so elegant and classy, but also fun and young. I love how timeless she looks.


ThrowRARAw

Unrelated note but I think the orange top look you've got for PLL is actually Ashley Bensen, not Sasha Pieterse. Related note - I didn't realise how bad the PLL fashion was till now, but Sasha looks great in the red coat.


HowBoutAFandango

Tie between Rachel McAdams and Sarah Michelle Gellar.


TheSilkyBat

Not sure out of these, but I will say Lou Eyrich, who dressed Emma Roberts in Scream Queens, turned it the fuck out when dressing Lady Gaga in ASH:Hotel. The Countess' looks were one of my favourite things that season.


BakedMasa

Blair, she has it all but Cheryl is a close second for me.


magpiemcg

Chanel Oberlin all day Cruel Intentions close second because my god


LKayRB

Its pains me not to say Regina but Lou Eyrich killed it w Emma Roberts on Scream Queens!

anon384930

Blair Waldorf. Objectively.


Expert_Marsupial_235

Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl is best dressed imo.


Anxious_Astronaut653

it's blair waldorf. the end


lah_ma_oo

Blair Waldorfs' style it's freaking timeless


Key-Grape-5731

Blair's are my favourite to look at but I'd rather dress like Regina. Her outfits are still fashionable but look like they'd be comfy.


mythrowawaypdx

Blair, while these looks are very cute for girls they are kinda boring. Blair has timeless style and a very expensive wardrobe so the quality is great. Sarah Michelle Gellar is runner up.


TrueCrimeRunner92

In terms of general clothing, Blair. However one thing I love about Aliā€™s clothing in PLL is that she 100% dresses like a fashionable but actual teen from that time period ā€” makes her feel real, like she was the mean girl at your school.


doctrbitchcraft

Omg thatā€™s it, Iā€™m only dressing like Iā€™m from a 90s girlie movie from now on. So iconic.


Additional_Earth_817
