The day has come: Ariana Grande’s "Thank U, Next" music video has finally arrived. After teasing the project on social media for weeks, the pop star debuted the visuals for her post-breakup bop, featuring tributes to some of our favorite 2000s films—Mean Girls, Legally Blonde, 13 Going on 30, and Bring It On.
In just five minutes and thirty seconds, Grande delivered a wild ride of chick flick heaven—recreating some of the greatest early aughts movie scenes and surprising us with the most epic Kris Jenner cameo of all time (as Regina George's mom).
But in the midst of all that, she also recreated some of the most iconic cinematic fashion moments of the early 2000s—from Elle Woods' Harvard application video outfit in Legally Blonde to Regina George's Mean Girlslooks and even the cheerleader uniforms from Bring It On. Just in case you missed any of the outfit references while completely fangirling during you first watch, we broke down every single look Grande wore in the video.
The Legally Blonde Finale
Rounding out the girl power video, Grande recreated some of the best scenes from Reese Witherspoon’s Legally Blonde.
First, there was the incredible pink patent leather outfit Elle arrived to Harvard wearing with her chihuahua Bruiser (Grande used her own dog for the video).

But the real wig-snatching moment was Jennifer Coolidge joining to reprise her role as Paulette—and wearing the same exact bedazzled denim outfit for the occasion:

Naturally, it wouldn’t be complete without a makeover of the Bend and Snap scene. For this, Ariana decided to wear a pink feathered top that wasn’t worn in the original scene (but honestly should have been).

To sum it all up in the wise words of Ariana Grande, “H2GKMO!!!!!”
