A Fashion Time Warp! Rocky Horror's Looks Were From the FUTURE?! | Clinton & Stacy
Let's do the fashion time warp! Stacy London and Clinton Kelly revisit The Rocky Horror Picture Show—and the iconic Tim Curry looks that were decades ahead of their time. In honor of Tim Curry's passing, we're celebrating the extraordinary talent, fearless glamour, and unforgettable performance he brought to Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

Inspired by a recent trip to Broadway's The Rocky Horror Show starring Luke Evans and Rachel Dratch, Clinton and Stacy return to the original 1975 cult classic to ask: Why does so much of this fashion look straight out of the '80s? They break down Frank-N-Furter's glossy lips, dramatic eye makeup, pearls, and glitter; Columbia's scene-stealing sequins; and the contrast between Brad and Janet's buttoned-up style and the castle's anything-goes glamour.

Scream Queens or Fashion Victims? We Rate the Looks
In this episode, we're diving into the iconic costumes of Scream (1996)! From Drew Barrymore's basic high school look to Courteney Cox's showstopping Versace suit, we break down nine key outfits from Wes Craven's classic horror film and ask the ultimate question: why'd they wear that? Our hosts take a playful, analytical approach to costume designer Cynthia Bergstrom's work, exploring how 1990s fashion shaped each character—whether it's Sidney Prescott's trauma-informed wardrobe choices, Tatum's statement-making style, or reporter Gale Weathers' bold fashion statements. We rate each look on a scale of 1–5 "Scream masks," debate animal print as a neutral, and discuss why the adult characters are surprisingly the most interesting dressers in the entire film.
