The ‘90s are back, but don’t forget the 2000s. While seeing a celebrity rocking a ‘90s-era hairstyle feels common now, you can still find some aughts-inspired looks. These 11 celebrities’ 2000s hairstyles serve major nostalgia.

Billie Eilish may be blonde now, but with her lime green roots and black hair, she was totally channeling the aughts’ trend of a two-toned ‘do (remember Christina Aguilera’s signature look?).

Remember when everyone wore a low side pony in the ‘00s? Jessica Alba brought back the nostalgic style (and proved it’s still chic) at a red carpet event in 2013.

Emma Stone’s deep side bangs (and blonde hair) are a major departure from her current red look, but she rocked this ‘00 trend well into the early ‘10s.

At the 2017 MTV Movie and TV Awards, Zendaya brought back a very ‘00s-style ‘do: choppy layers with flipped-out ends.

Hailee Steinfeld’s mix of straight hair with wavy pieces at a 2019 Louis Vuitton event is reminiscent of the Olsen twins’ iconic ‘00s hairstyles.

Taylor Swift’s shaggy bob from the 2016 BMI Awards Show is definitely a modern take on the flipped-up ends and multi-layered cuts of the ‘00s.

Bella Hadid’s brightly colored highlights may be placed at the front of her face, but they’re reminiscent of the clip-in, colorful extensions of the ‘00s.

Kim Kardashian gave serious 2000s vibes when she fully crimped her hair for a Skims photoshoot in Jan. 2021.

Margot Robbie’s voluminous, sleek poof at the 2019 premiere of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is definitely a cousin of the Snookie hair bump you were used to in the 2000s.

Remember frying your hair within an inch of its life with a flat iron in the aughts? Lily Colins’ pin-straight look at the 2018 Breakthrough Prize event serves that whole vibe.

Why choose between a middle and a side part when you can go zigzag? Julianne Hough brought back the 2000s-style look at the 2015 American Music Awards (and made it look really cool).
