Britney Spears fused Y2K sparkle with industrial edge—her black two-piece, shot in Manhattan pre-VMA, felt like pop’s answer to sci-fi rebellion.

Before she hit the stage at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards with “…Baby One More Time,” Britney Spears was already commanding attention. Captured in a series of publicity shots on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, the then-17-year-old pop phenom posed in a glittering black two-piece ensemble that felt equal parts teen idol and cyber renegade.

Alix Earle leaned into geometric glam—her striped silk-chiffon De La Vali dress brought a swirl of movement and mod energy to Netflix’s New York premiere.

Alix Earle didn’t just walk the green carpet—she animated it. At the Happy Gilmore 2 New York Premiere on July 21, 2025, held at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the beauty and lifestyle influencer arrived in the De La Vali Gracia striped silk-chiffon midi dress, a piece that felt like kinetic art in motion. The asymmetrical stripe pattern—vivid, vertical, and slightly off-kilter—gave the illusion of movement even when Earle stood still.
