Jawbreaker is a teen comedy released 1999. The movie follows a group of popular high school girls who accidentally kill their friend Liz by jagging her with a Jawbreaker. Courtney the leader of the group and Julie and Marcie try to hide that they killed Liz. But then Fern finds out they giver her a makeover and make her popular so she can be quiet. The movie was costumed designed by Vikki Barrett. The costume designers went out to local LA shift shops to find the costumes for the movie. The girls outfits are very monochromatic and had very candy like colors.They followed 90s trends but with a vintage touch. Heres how you can get these looks:
This scene is so iconic and the outfits give off good girl gone bad vibes. I love Courtney's monochromatic red look making her stand out from the rest. Julie's leather skirt and Marcie's green halter also are favorites of mine.

After Julie leaves the group she doesn't dress as preppy as she used to but this is still such a cute 90s denim look that I could not leave out.

Courtney proves that even if you are being questioned by police you can still look cute.
