Brenda Song Raids Her Disney Closet: Which Y2K Looks Made The Cut?

Brenda Song reigned supreme over 2000s Disney Channel fashion. Whether she was playing spoiled heiress London Tipton on *The Suite Life of Zack & Cody* or cracking cases alongside Lindsay Lohan in the fan-favorite Disney Channel Original Movie *Get a Clue*, her onscreen style defined a generation of Y2K wardrobes. Now, the actress is reflecting on those bold choices—and admitting which retro pieces she would still proudly rock today. Looking back at her early network days, Song gave major love to her *Get a Clue* wardrobe. The 2002 mystery flick featured classic early-2000s staples like leather trench coats, patterned newsboy caps, layered crop tops, and bright tinted sunglasses. In a recent chat about her wardrobe legacy, the star confessed that many of those sleek, spy-lite ensembles remain her absolute favorites to this day, noting that several items could easily work in modern street style.

Then came the unforgettable London Tipton. On *The Suite Life of Zack & Cody*, Song played the ultra-wealthy hotel heiress with an endless closet filled with vibrant faux fur trim, glittery halter tops, low-rise jeans, and massive oversized belt buckles. While some of those hyper-stylized outfits might feel a bit extreme for daily errands today, Song acknowledged that the bold, campy energy of London's closet holds a permanent place in pop culture history. Fashion trends from the early aughts have completely taken over current streetwear, making Song’s former wardrobe choices surprisingly relevant once again. The actress noted that while some dramatic TV items belong firmly in the Disney Channel vault, the sleek leather jackets, tailored outerwear, and statement accessories from her DCOM era are total timeless classics that could easily hit a modern red carpet.

Her early roles laid the blueprint for 2000s teen fashion, and it turns out Brenda Song is just as obsessed with those throwbacks as we are.
