Yes, Carrie had good shoes, bags, and a strange superpower that made any combination of literally bogus patterns work – but could she slay a Big Bad, bone Riley, take care of her friends, not let anyone get their hands on the key who was also (spoiler!) her sister, and keep multiple flower hair clips perfectly in position while doing so? No, didn’t think so.
No matter how many splits, hits, kicks, flips Buffy did, not once did she struggle with a wardrobe malfunction: not a snapped spaghetti strap, nor a flashed G-string. Impressive, given I can barely touch my knee without exposing my ass. Thus, it was thrilling to stumble across @buffystyle – the Instagram account founded by 21 year-old uber-fan and college student Tatiana, from Washington DC.
“I started this account because I didn’t have any friends who watched Buffy,” she explains, “but I knew on Instagram I could find fan pages and connect with others who watch it. Also, before I made my account I remember following some Buffy pages and thinking, ‘I wish they’d post this scene from this episode,’ or, ‘I wish they’d post this outfit or behind the scenes photos,’ so I figured I should just make my own page and generate the content I personally appreciate.”
Scroll Tatiana’s style archive and you’ll find moments from favourite episodes – like Bad Willow, Buffy Scientist, and also basically every Cordelia lewk ever
