an unnecessarily detailed analysis of the costume design in 13 going on 30

[@lovelacelisa]

Despite the movie's message being about embracing your inner child, I really like how the movie presents being 30 as totally normal and even cool instead of the dead end that many people today see it as. Of course you shouldn't rush your youth but being thirty is also fun! Thirty, flirty, and thriving, yes! You do thrive in your 30s! Career and lifestyle-wise, Jenna was at a growing peak as a 30 year old! Her disatisfactions were all because of her own decisions in her social life instead of some silly "I'm old and everything is boring now" crisis. You can tell from adult Jenna's already existing closet (and morally questionable life choices) that she definitely didn't grow up to be a "boring" adult unlike what so many other shows portray.

[@cherryvisionproductions]

yes that is such an important point to raise! this was definitely one of the biggest things i took away from watching it especially when i was younger. unfortunately most other media has completely opposite messaging about women over the age of 30

[@spntageous5249]

yess i totally agree! I love how back then Jenna (and the viewers) saw being 30 as being in the peak of your life, very cool and diserable and nowadays if youre a woman whos 30 youre basically expired. We should bring back films that show how cool being 30 is, because 30 is still young and thriving.

[@mchjsosde]

as a kid and still now 7 years from thirty, this movie makes me so excited to grow up 🥲

[@cisshayri]

I can see what you are saying but i mean many start having family at that age getting married or speding so much time at work they dont really like so i kinda see why the dont feel young anymore. On the other hand I agree with u because it kinda changed my opnion on being 30 but i rather like being a teeanger

[@sandymakesplans]

this comment gave me chills. thanks 🎉

[@wintersouldier611]

Also since you mentioned Lucy having an edgier style possibly being a way to stand out from Jenna who also has a girly style, I think Lucy wearing Jenna's silhouettes and colors near the end also kind of represents her going back to her old girly style that she wore when she was younger now that she's yet again above Jenna and doesn't need to try as hard to be different from her. Especially in her very last outfit, she's wearing a similar silhouette to the outfit she wore during Jenna's birthday party (sleeveless, v neck, with some sort of neck scarf) with similar colors like the blue of her dress resembling her old denim jacket and the purple of her scarf.

[@cherryvisionproductions]

i never even thought about that, you’re so right!

[@oooh19]

Fashions also changed from 80s to 00s

[@mchjsosde]

what a cool detail!

[@JP-ve7or]

I was 13 in 1987. This movie stopped me in my tracks when I was flipping channels one day. The 1987 costumes are on point in a way I had never seen before at that time. I can't even express how wonderful it was to see that done well.

[@cherryvisionproductions]

that’s so incredible to hear

[@gabigloude6943]

I'm so happy someone loves this movie and the fashion in it as much as I do

[@cherryvisionproductions]

me too! i’m glad u enjoyed it

[@sandymakesplans]

i have been on a video essay diet, but today's my cheat day.

[@rebekkahill4664]

I like how when jenna first becomes 30 her clothes are tight and uncomfortable looking. As she grows and becomes more comfortable in her own skin her clothes reflect that by looking very comfy, soft and flowery.

[@yolorwatson]

The movie is popular big time right now because the girls who watched this movie at 13, are turning 30 this year. I watched it, and it was really special to watch. Felt like I had reached a pivotal moment in my life, and yet, this movie reminded me to be a kid still.

[@Shadowfate93]

Totally going to watch this it in November on my 30th birthday

[@yolorwatson]

Happy Birthday!!! @@Shadowfate93

[@danielleheyns7033]

I'm pretty sure those are porcupine quills, not chopsticks. Look at the patterns and the sharp edges. We used to wear these in our hair in the 2000s - could pick them up where I lived :) Great video.

[@legsorcist]

probably a bit of a reach but when you mentioned that her style took on a bit more ‘00s does ‘60s influence when her relationship starts to get sorta serious, it made me think that maybe she was subconsciously trying to emulate what her mom wore on dates before she was married, especially since jenna was so young she probably doesn’t have much knowledge to go off of when it comes to dates

[@cherryvisionproductions]

i don’t think this is a reach at all, makes so much sense

[@wizbbig3911]

The casting in this film is Golden. The resemblance of the young cast with the older cast is perfect

[@JordanSullivanadventures]

Can I just say that I LOVE when creators of film put in so much thought and love into the details, telling a story through different elements that many people would only be subconsciously aware of :) It's sad that these days films are churned out at such a fast pace, esp with streaming, that artists don't have the time or space or budget to really just their craft to tell the stories they want to. I'm thinking esp of all those low rent Netflix productions with no soul.

[@cherryvisionproductions]

same :( i really miss the era where this level of care and attention was put into the costume design.

[@ninamarlana46]

I believe that another reason Lucy wears a lot of green is to symbolize her jealousy of Jenna.

[@JP-ve7or]

There's also just literal contrast. Jenna's pink and purple stand out more on screen when other characters are wearing muted tones. It's a pretty neat trick, the sort of thing you're not supposed to notice unless you watch it multiple times 😃

[@wintersouldier611]

I agree so much with what you said about Lucy's pitch. When I first saw the movie, I loved Lucy's pitch and I did not understand why all the other characters thought it was awful.

[@cherryvisionproductions]

yes oh my god, i loved it! i think that it had more to do with the directors/producers own personal critiques about the fashion industry more than the actual quality of Lucy’s presentation.

[@ScreaminglyRunning]

This was so great!! I actually had no idea that the nameplate necklace had an important cultural and ethnic history and completely was under the impression that it was a necklace invented by sex and the city (so thank you for including that!!) it really speaks to how something innocent like patricia field taking inspo from kids in her neighborhood can end up almost erasing an item's entire cultural history.

[@keekermojo]

I don't think her hair is twisted with chopsticks. I believe they're large animal quills or some kind of plastic stick. The shape and color doesn't look like chopsticks and I'm doubtful the costume designers would allow that detail to be in the movie.

[@doubledevils1]

They're porcupine quills

[@cherryvisionproductions]

i was unaware of that, thank you for clarifying 🫶🏿

[@oooh19]

That was popular the hair chopsticks

[@leslietrang9115]

Are we going to pretend everyone on the planet was PC then? People are just seriously having these conversations that did not exist at that time. During that time western women would put chopsticks in their hair for fashion because celebrity western women put chopsticks in their hair. They sold them at Claire’s!

[@keekermojo]

@@leslietrang9115 just because it was happening, doesn't mean it was still appropriate. It was still disrespectful at the time it was popular. Hair sticks have existed for a very long time but there is an obvious difference. So in an entire movie about fashion, I'm doubtful the costumers would put chopsticks in her hair.

[@oonaghmolyneux7760]

Love Jennifer Garner, she would have been great in Devil Wears Prada (as Anne Hathaway was).

[@fabcstlls]

The title of this video should be "a necessarily detailed analysis of the costume design in 13 going on 30" I also love this movie!

[@user-dn2tz1sh3h]

The ultimate comfort movie

[@cherryvisionproductions]

the best!

[@TorAthena]

I don't know why but I live for fashion breakdowns in movies and I never see them done anymore. ❤ subscribed ❤

[@yangto996]

The "cool girl not wearing the backpack" thing really affected me 😅 I got back problems from always have so much weight on one side because I refused to wear a backpack, but had soooo much stuff for my classes everyday

[@minivan1680]

Lol same! My straps broke constantly too 😅

[@paprikaspice8667]

My favorite romcom movie when I was 10, still my favorite romcom movie at 29. I can't believe that I will be turning 30 next year ❤ i will definitely have this movie playing on my 30th :3

[@shockingheaven]

You did an amazing job at analyzing the costumes and commenting on them. When I saw the video in my recommendations, I didn't hesitate to watch it since I love that film. What is surprising to me is to see that it's not from a channel with half a million subscribers. I hope it gets the love it deserves. Again, very nice job!!

[@cherryvisionproductions]

thank you so much :)

[@x_greentea_starshine_x]

about "cool girl = a handbag" discourse; it's soooo true; remember how in the middle school i was desperate to wear one (i'm from russia so ... mayhaps it was kinda worldwide fenomenon) an amazing vid aboun an amazing movie!!!

[@spntageous5249]

Im from eastern europe and went to middle school in the early 2010s (so a bit later than the movie time period) but i remember hating the girls in my class so much for those big handbags. I thought it was so annoying and uncomfortable, haha! So cool girl def = big handbag

[@cherryvisionproductions]

glad to hear that it is a universal experience lol

[@tcrijwanachoudhury]

My mum bought this on casette when i was 7 years old. Ill never forget this, the only romcom i ever really cared for. Such a deep movie

[@nastya_is_slay]

This is such a gripping video, I turned it on to play in the background but ended up watching the whole thing as my main focus! Amazing analysis on your part, and clearly a big amount of research was done

[@Pinnie06]

As a fashion student I loved this video so much, I hope you continue doing media/movie fashion analysis’

[@karmann007]

As a person currently in highschool, i can confidently say people still try to use purses or bags instead of backpacks, specifically tote bags for some reason. I tried but my arms went numb from carrying so much😭

[@emmaphilo4049]

Clothes at that time were so tight. And girls were so skinny. I don't miss that era to be honest. But I get that for people who weren't there yet or very little, there is an interest for it.

[@Bunnidove]

Yeah... I wasn't even close to plus size yet and i was considered fat. (I was a size 7!) I never ever let my stomach show or wore the low rise jeans. I was in middle school.

[@lobbehym]

girl the editing of this video was amazing

This is so thorough I have new respect for the costumes in this movie

[@michaylavr8241]

Please do more of these! Such a great breakdown of costume design. I'd love to hear your perspective on other movies as well.

[@cherryvisionproductions]

will definitely be doing more, they are so much fun to make

[@vukvinchinguen5580]

thank you for such a good analysis of the costumes! Just watched the film yesterday!

[@cornflakes-does-stuff]

I learned so much about fashion from just this video, awesome work!

[@ingridboring2426]

I love this movie so much it is honestly one of my favourite films ever. Jennifer Garner's ability to embody a teenager in an adult woman's body is such good acting! White Oleander is super intense but definitely worth watching.

[@alyssamendoza7708]

this is one of my favorite movies of all time! i loved your analysis

[@risxra]

I haven’t seen this movie, nor do I know anything about fashion, but this was a great watch regardless! You clearly understand a lot about how important costume design can be to the narrative of a movie. Would you be interested in making a similar video in the future about The Parent Trap (1998)? I’ve always been enamored with the style of that time and it’s one of my fave movies. You’ve got a new sub, looking forward to more content from you!

This is a small thing, but I don't think she has chopsticks in her hair. I think they are actually porcupine quills!

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the chopsticks!!! Please let’s stop this kind of things, it’s none sense, I have many oriental friends and I’m pretty sure they’re okay with that, the fact that we visualize everything as a territorial thing even hairstyles in a global world will never seat well with me, I’m Mexican and in the orient many people are now using braids with bows, something very commonly used and traditional from Mexico, but no one’s mad for this at them, we just think they look amazing, let people express however they want in this global world!!!

Examine the current state of the world. 2 Timothy 4:1-5 states "You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. People will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!" Jesus is coming back. Are you ready?

I love this video! I love all the runway & fashion references from the 2000s you made, it really felt educational on 2000s fashion
