In fashion, the early 2000s never really left, they’ve just been waiting for the right moment to come back louder. And right now, that revival is in full swing, led by artists like Tyla and Zara Larsson.
For Tyla’s track “She Did It Again,” the duo didn’t just collaborate musically, they tapped directly into one of Y2K’s most defining aesthetics: sexy, boho-chic. The music video plays like a visual time capsule, reworking the carefree, sultry style that once dominated early 2000s pop culture.
Across the video, both stars cycle through a series of bold, skin-baring looks. In a sunlit canyon, Tyla leans into the aesthetic in a white micro-mini dress layered over sparkly lace briefs, styled with delicate anklets. In another scene, she switches into a gauzy off-shoulder jumpsuit with daring cutouts, paired with feathered earrings that amplify the bohemian mood.
The energy intensifies on a moonlit beach, where Larsson appears in a plunging white backless swimsuit styled with a sarong and raw-edged accessories, while Tyla opts for a sheer dark-blue mini dress and strappy stilettos. It’s sensual, effortless, and unmistakably Y2K.
One of the standout moments comes when both artists appear in coordinated gold bikini tops paired with statement trousers—a direct nod to early-2000s music video styling. Tyla grounds her look with stone-washed jeans and a bold belt, while Larsson leans further into boho territory with shredded, fringe-detailed pants and metallic accents.
The visual language feels instantly familiar and that’s the point. The styling echoes the iconic era of Britney Spears in “I’m a Slave 4 U,” where gauzy fabrics and low-rise silhouettes defined a generation. It also channels the energy of Shakira, Beyoncé, and Christina Aguilera, artists who built an entire visual identity around bold, body-conscious performance looks.
Beyond the video, this aesthetic isn’t new territory for Tyla. She’s consistently leaned into archival pieces from brands like Roberto Cavalli and Gucci (especially its Tom Ford era), both of which were staples for original Y2K style icons. Larsson, on the other hand, brings a more playful spin to the revival, mixing sparkle, color, and texture in a way that feels both nostalgic and current.
Together, they’re not just referencing the past—they’re reinterpreting it. The video proves that the bohemian, free-spirited energy of the 2000s still holds power today. And as 2026 continues to embrace the return of Y2K fashion, Tyla and Larsson are making one thing clear: this era isn’t just back, it never really left.
