McBling Aesthetic

(My favorite era of fashion, honestly.)

What is the McBling Aesthetic?

McBling is a fashion aesthetic that was popular from 2003 to 2008, succeeding the Y2K aesthetic of the mid 1990s to 2000.

It was centered around the growing the celebrity culture at the time with the rise of reality TV shows, paprazzi, and all things luxury and feminine. Reality shows that were big at this time were, The Simple Life, Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, etc... Celebrities like Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Beyonce, Raven Symone were all the rage in this era.
