Joyful fans celebrated outside the court on September 29, as Britney Spears’ father Jamie was finally suspended as her conservator and replaced by an accountant chosen by the singer’s legal term. She was ‘on cloud nine’ quite literally when she made the announcement on her Instagram in a video showing her flying a plane for the first time.
Her glitzy iconic fashion style of the noughties is one of the reasons why Britney is still relevant today. Think extremely low-rise jeans, tapered crop tops and glittery accessories. As she approaches her 40th birthday on December 2nd, Fashion North investigates how the Y2K queen’s style has changed over the years.
Floral tops VS tapered crop tops
Nothing defines the Britney era better than her edgy, rough-ended crop tops worn both on the stage and out and about. And yes, we still love them but surprisingly or not, the singer’s style is moving towards a more romantic, feminine approach. Floral tops and heart necklines are among Britney’s new favourites and the fans seem to love them with one defining them as ‘PRETT-NEY’.

CHOKERS WITH A TWIST
Britney’s love for extra-large, sparkly chokers has been going on since 1999 and it’s not hard to miss this statement-making accessory in many of her outfits. However, pearly chokers are now her recent obsession and in her latest Instagram posts Britney pairs them with lace tops, swimsuits and even gymwear.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MESSY HAIR
Britney’s age dictates a change not only in her style but also in her attitude. She is clearly into the imperfect look of messy hairstyles rather than her iconic sleek, blonde hair of the early 2000s and that shows that she is more mature, indifferent to hate comments and accepts herself the way she is. How can you not love that?

Whatever her fashion choices are, we can’t get enough of this stylish pop diva’s style. The fact that she still inspires her fans is the living proof that Britney is an icon today as much as she was more than 20 years ago.
