You've probably noticed that many trends from

the early 2000s have resurfaced on the fashion scene—loved by some, controversial to others. While most of us may incorporate a colorful piece of jewelry or statement accessory inspired by the era, others have used that time period as a center point for their entire wardrobe and style aesthetic, like our very own WWW Gen Zer Devin Apollon. She showed off her nostalgic style as we kicked off the series, but now we're taking a deep dive into her personal style and why she resonates with the 2000s now more than ever.

Anything those stars wore was destined to become popular alongside their musical hits. To this day, it's hard to think of that time period without singing along to "Say My Name" or "Toxic." To Apollon, that's what that era is all about, which is why she styled five looks inspired by some of the greatest songs of the 2000s that still resonate with her today.
