She looks so effortlessly cool here, total 90s aesthetic icon.
How is it possible that she was this iconic even just hanging out in the street?
The glasses look is such a mood, I totally forgot she rocked these back in the day.
I still dress exactly like this for errands today
She looks so normal here, it is wild to think about how much her life changed right after this.
She really went from pop star to librarian aesthetic in record time lol
She looks so normal here, hard to believe she was about to become the biggest star on the planet.
