Huang Yimei is finally divorced, the champagne is open, and she is ready to welcome the right man and her young boyfriend!
Since marrying Fang Xiewen, Huang Yimei's style has suddenly become simple. What kind of good husband has to take special care of his wife wearing skirts and doing manicures?
But Miracle Meimei has to change 32 looks in 5 episodes~
A blind student discovered Hua Dian. Ai Wen, the styling director of this drama, is the one who was criticized for her styling in "Love as Camp" 》's styling guidance... Of course, Liu Yifei's own styling team also spent a lot of thought and effort on styling Huang Yimei. At present, many of the same styles have even been sold out, especially Su Su's silk scarf.
The timeline of "The Story of a Rose" begins in 2001, when Beijing successfully bid for the Olympics, which is the millennium we often talk about.
Most of the clothes in the drama are quite in line with the characteristics of the era, such as printed jeans and black vests, tight printed short-sleeves, and wide-leg overalls. They all have the feeling of female college students. They can be worn directly to the retro-style stage singing scene. .
wore these rose-red wide-leg pants for roller skating. I remember that they were also the favorite among Millennial hot girls. At that time, many girls even wore rose-red pants for QQ shows.
Huang Yimei’s two sets of white shirts paired with silk scarves when she first joined the company were once popular among white-collar workers of the millennium. The silk scarves saved the boringness of white shirts and made her feel like a professional novice.
In addition, the combination of puff-sleeved tops with tight narrow skirts, short tops + large skirts + wide belts is also very contemporary.
There are also some small details of accessories, such as two sets of costumes with colorful hair rings and small hairpins on the head, which makes you dream back to two thousand years ago.
At the same time, there is also a voice of doubt, saying that the female characters in the drama are too fashionable and their lifestyle is too fashionable and does not conform to the setting of the era.
I think compared to her clothes, Huang Yimei's big flat eyebrows and overall makeup look are really a bit too advanced.
As for the fact that the clothes and lifestyle are too fashionable, as a person who has followed "Yes" and "Ruili" in the millennium and spent all day in youth dramas and urban dramas, I dare to say that the Millennium hotties and urban beauties are really Very good at wearing it!
The only problem with Huang Yimei's outfit is that it is too conservative!
The most popular suspenders and hot pants of the millennium are not upper body. Rose Rose, are you afraid of charming me to death!
What do millennials wear in the workplace?
"The Story of Rose" is positioned as an "urban emotional drama", so let's start with the domestic urban dramas around the millennium.
"True Confession" in 1999 is one of the earliest urban love dramas in Mainland China. The starring roles are Hu Bing and Qu Ying. The aesthetics of these two professional models were the next level at that time. Their beautiful and smooth appearance made them into workplace dramas. , it feels like a workplace fashion show.
The workplace attire in "True Confession" is generally based on dark colors and clean suits, but Qu Ying's countless colorful inner outfits and the embellishment of small silk scarves make it look decent and not boring.
Speaking of the combination of workplace suits and printed silk scarves, it is actually Xuan Xuan’s favorite in "The Imperial Court No. 1". The soft silk scarf perfectly balances the toughness of the suit.
Waiting for the Millennium "Love Between a Boy and a Girl", miss mo, as a lawyer working in Central with a monthly income of 100,000, naturally has good taste. Printed silk scarves + workplace suits + Hermès handbags are standard.
tvb can't afford such installation fees, and the outfits inside are all Do's private goods.
Comparing workplace dramas from Hong Kong and Mainland China at the same time, it is not difficult to find that the colors in the workplace of Hong Kong dramas are much richer and bolder, while the workplace culture of mainland companies is relatively conservative because it has just started. It likes to use black, white and gray to show a sense of professionalism, focusing on one No mistakes.
Of course, workplace fashion in the mainland has also developed rapidly. By the time "True Farewell", the sister volume of "True Confessions" was released in 2002, the colors of offices had become visibly richer.
The workplace setting of "True Farewell" is the editorial department of a fashion magazine weekly. The production team specially invited super fashion stylists from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan to help, and there are also numerous sponsorships from the world's top brands, making this drama The shape is more avant-garde and fashionable.
Not to mention that the two leading actors, Hu Bing and Qu Ying, are well-dressed. Even the dog has its own bag. (It’s also a good-looking one)
tomboy style, Ralph Lauren style, new Chinese style...
I have played all the domestic dramas from 20 years ago
Outside of the workplace, the outfits of millennial urban girls are truly dazzling.
"True Confessions" not only has a workplace storyline, but also has many life-like scenes. Qu Ying has several sports-style outfits that are no problem to wear out now. A large silhouette jacket and a baseball cap make it easy to pull off the tomboy style.
I have always felt that the trench coat is the most fashionable item that matches Shanghai Beach. It is romantic and chic. In the 2002 "White Collar Apartment", Dong Jie played a dancer in Shanghai. There were several classic trench coat styles in the drama.
wears various knitted sweaters most in the drama, and the overall style is in line with what is now known as "looseness."
I particularly like Dong Jie’s white hollow knitted sweater and matching scarf, which is very intellectual and white.
There is also a combination of shirt and cardigan. Isn’t this purely Ralph Lauren style?
The setting of "White Collar Apartment" is that a dancer from Harbin, by chance, rents the same house in the white collar apartment with the returnee IT elite. The male and female protagonists live together passively from the beginning, so most of the scenes in the play are domestic scenes. , and the home clothes Dong Jie wears are quite nice.
The cream yellow zippered hoodie and white shorts are very small and fresh, and the cat long sleeves are very everyday. And if I read it correctly, it is a Siamese cat... I really didn't know this breed of cat in 2000.
It is so true that home clothes appear repeatedly in the drama. The drama is originally about the lives of ordinary people, how could even the home clothes be different?
If the above examples make everyone feel that the millennium is indeed not vulgar, but it is not enough Charming, then I’m going to give 2003’s “Pink Lady” a thumbs-up.
The heartthrob’s daily outfit is a variety of feminine suspender skirts.
Suspender skirt + stiletto heels, the walking posture is naturally charming.
I like this nude halterneck dress the best. Paired with a simple pearl necklace around the neck, it makes the neck appear slender. The waist chain also has the same effect, making the waist appear slender.
Such a generous and generous style of suspender skirt is now almost extinct in domestic dramas.
There is also a quirky girl in "Pink Girl". Her style is "Hard-Korean and Japanese", so her outfits in it are at the forefront of Japanese and Korean trends.
Highly colorful clothing, with dynamic elements such as sequins and colorful stripes. The clothes are generally high-visibility styles such as suspenders and navel-baring shirts, as well as stacked metal jewelry. Hamei also likes to wear headscarves. The chicken feathers are tied into a ponytail to look more playful.
The y2k style that is popular now is actually the Japanese and Korean trend that became popular in the millennium. If you want to recreate it, just dress like Hamei back then.
Ha Mei's style is more suitable for young sisters. If you are a half-experienced sister who wants to engage in y2k, it is more recommended to refer to Liang Jing in the 2004 "I Want to Fall in Love".
She is a stylist in the drama, and she also has a charming design, so her clothes are very bold, but the color combination is relatively refreshing, which is in line with the dressing principle of no more than three colors.
This set of small orange suspenders + straight denim + crossbody bag + sunglasses of the same color is worth copying.
"I Really Want to Fall in Love" is a drama that the more I dig, the more treasures there are. The famous line "Who signed me up? This is simply alarmist." This is where it comes from.
The classic look that sister wears inside is a silk halter neck.
Jiang Wenli, on the other hand, wears various brands. She has a restrained and low-key style, which is very suitable for her book owner's taste. (What a time-honored entrepreneurship)
Wearing glasses, she is full of intelligence. Max *ara is also a brand she often wears. At the end of the film, she also expresses her support for brand clothing.
In addition to being supported by big names, old money style and new Chinese style are also very popular.
This drama is also an example that has been mentioned again and again in the fashion circle. Four best friends, four urban older female aristocrats who want to pursue high-quality love, every time they are in the same frame, it feels like paying homage to Sex and the City.
In addition to dressing well, girls also have a colorful life after work. When they are free, they go to the gym (the fitness bras they wear are also very good-looking), they go to fencing in a team, they order healthy salads when eating, and they go to bars and cafes. A heart-to-heart chat.
The life after class in the millennium is full of excitement, such as boxing, which is very popular now and is also a designated sport in "True Farewell".
The most fashionable girl in "Pink Girl" also uses PHtoshop to simulate the image of Prince Charming in her mind.
The heartthrob has his own special column on the TV station. In each episode, he talks about love with his sisters. He is regarded as a love influencer in the ancient times. The topics of the show are bolder than many real variety shows at that time.
The mama's boy mentioned here is not the mama's boy that is often called nowadays?
After seeing so many examples, I believe everyone can really feel the free atmosphere of the millennium, where people don't care about other people's opinions. , wear whatever you want, bold and wanton, this kind of personality that subverts traditional concepts is really precious now.
Where does the earthy stereotype of domestic dramas come from?
Some sisters may be wondering, since the clothes in the Millennium drama are so fashionable, why do people think Huang Yimei's wardrobe is too fashionable? Why are domestic urban dramas in our impression all local?
Someone else gave an example of Huang Mudan's 2007 "Struggle", in which there are various bright colors of red, green and purple. Isn't it boring to the eyes...
Let's put it this way, the millennium style probably started to develop after 2005 Odd...
Mainland urban dramas of the millennium are more influenced by Hong Kong dramas. The outfits and makeup still rely on the style of Hong Kong dramas. "True Confessions" also has a guest appearance by Hong Kong-style beauty Li Wanhua. She looks like she came straight from ATV, and she completely blends in with the atmosphere of various scenes in the show.
Later, Taiwanese puppet drama became popular, and the style of mainland urban dramas also began to move closer to Taiwanese puppetry. At that time, the style of Taiwanese puppetry was probably like this ↓
Forget about the appearance of the male protagonist, the average nightclub Tony per capita, and later just go straight to a show Theme:
The Taiwanese puppet dramas at that time had many shadows of Japanese and Korean dramas, but in terms of costumes and styles, they also incorporated many of Wanwan’s own folk aesthetics and various high-concentration and high-saturation colors.
Mainland dramas that are closer to Taiwanese idols are becoming more and more similar in style, such as "The Invincible" and "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", both of which have a strong Taiwanese flavor.
Especially "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", we don't think it's stupid when we look back now, it was also criticized in various ways back then.
Let’s talk about it. Meite looks very good now.
Also, many non-mainstream styles that people born in the 80s and 90s don’t want to mention anymore were popular in 2007... As the most fashionable clothes at that time, these black histories are naturally also Inevitably it remained in the film and television works of the time.
After 2010, various fast fashions entered the mainland market, and everyone’s fashion aesthetics changed almost every quarter. Sometimes lace, sometimes leopard print, sometimes Japanese, Korean, and European and American. Everyone tried their best to follow the trend, but did not really form their own aesthetic. I don’t know what style is “suitable for me”.
Fast fashion is like a tornado, it comes and goes as quickly as it comes. Looking back now, the most disastrous period for our aesthetics was probably from 2007 to 2015. The evil female partner must have a leopard print metallic dark style , the good heroine usually wears floral lace and has a wedding style.
Since this article is mainly about the Millennium style, I won’t go into it here to avoid breaking the defense of the actors back then. For details, you can check out "The Temptation of Going Home", "The Three Daughters of the Xia Family", "The True Story of Hot Mom", etc. .
e sister’s conclusion:
The aesthetics of domestic urban dramas have developed in a curve, from the reference exploration in the millennium, to the crazy following around 2010, to finding the right position in the past few years. Nowadays, the makeup of most urban dramas, It already has both quality and fashion.
This is also similar to the aesthetic advancement route of us ordinary people. If you don’t believe me, look up your photos from around 2010 and see if they are the peak of earthy taste.
If there is anything about today’s fashion aesthetics that is inferior to that of the millennium, it is probably the long-term self-gaze and anxiety about body appearance after being stared at, which is not at all in line with this era of open-minded ideas.
There are also many clothes that seem to be labeled. A-line skirts must be worn by beauties with an A4 waist. If you have thick legs, don’t wear hot pants. If you have a belly, don’t wear them with your navel exposed. If you have a pear-shaped figure, don’t wear long skirts. …I have a friend who hasn’t bought collarless clothes in 20 years because he thinks his back is thick.
I think it’s great to find outfits that perfectly flatter your figure, but since you really like it, don’t give up on what you like easily.
Freedom and madness coexist with sincerity and simplicity. No matter whether you are tall or short, fat or thin, you dare to dress boldly. This may be the truly charming thing about millennial wear.

Which urban drama do you think has the best aesthetics?
