When Lifetime airs The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story at 9 p.m. tonight, we’ll most certainly be tuning in – and not just to see all the backstage drama. Because while “the football games, The Max, and the romances” made for show highlights, Kelly Kapowski’s ensembles ensured every episode was must-see TV.
After all, Tiffani Amber Thiessen’s on-screen wardrobe has been influencing our personal style since her days on Saved by the Bell, where her skintight biker shorts, slouchy crop tops, and colorful Keds (always Keds!) reigned supreme. Tiffani’s high-octane high school cheerleader looks have certainly come back to the forefront of fashion – last Summer, we saw more denim cutoffs and neon bra tops than we care to remember – and are providing sartorial inspiration to an entirely new generation.
For those of you who remember Kelly Kapowski in all her prom-queen-winning, volleyball-playing, George Michael-loving glory, we’re celebrating in true Bayside High fashion with a look back at Tiffani’s most awesome Saved by the Bell looks.
