Where the Y2K Butterfly style comes from
Butterflies were one of the biggest symbols of early-2000s fashion: butterfly hair clips, butterfly tops, tattoo-style chokers and glittery butterfly jewellery. Pop stars wore them on stage and fans copied them at school.
The look is playful and bright: baby pink, lilac and glitter, often grounded with black for contrast. Tinted sunglasses, tiny bags and lots of clips finish it.
