This year marks the 20th anniversary of the premiere of Beverly Hills, 90210, hereinafter 90210 or ‘da 210. And with this anniversary the complete series is now available in this handsome boxset. To celebrate its release, we present a very special Look Like This wherein we’ll help you get the look of some 20 somethings playing the rich teenagers of yesterday, today! Because it’s never too late to look like someone’s idealized version of a spoiled trust fund brat who misses the SATS because of a breast cancer scare!

The style of 90210 has been lauded since it premiered 20 years ago and to this day still serves as trendspiration for teenage girl bloggers who were way too young to watch it when it actually came out and 20 and 30-somethings desperate to stay in a perpetual fugue state of when they were young and cool. One of our favorite fashion crushes, Alexa Chung, has made an entire nostalgianista career out of looking like the funky bastard landed lovechild consummated from an ultrachic threesome of Brenda Walsh, Kelly Taylor-Silver, and Emily Valentine. We covet her effortless mix-up style, just as our ancestors coveted their neighbor’s house, wife, manservant, ox, and donkey! We don’t care WHAT you say, Exodus 20:17! If we’re going to be going to hell, at least we’ll be fabulous doing it in our ultra-haute disgusting clog boots!

Tori Spelling Still Struggling With The Whole “Self Worth” Thing

You would think that the sadness hanging over the set of the new 90210 would occur every morning when Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth, and Shannen Doherty looked in the mirror. Don’t get me wrong, work is work. I respect these women (I do not respect these women, but something like it; I something like respect these women) for their willingness to face public questioning and ridicule over their career choices and lack of career choices to put food on their Rent-A-Center layaway tables. But at the same time, yikes. The only thing worse than playing the same character you played 15 years ago who’s developmentally stuck reliving the glory days of high school is actually being the same person you were 15 years ago who’s developmentally stuck reliving the glory days of high school. The only difference is that these actresses will be portraying that misery every week while in real life you only have to see it once a year, on the trip home for Thanksgiving.

But no. The sadness hanging over the set of the new 90210 is occurring at the bank. Nikki Finke is reporting that due to contract negotiations, Tori Spelling MIGHT NOT reprise the Donna Martin role. This is probably upsetting news to someone!
