If I had one defining anthem for my childhood in the 2000s, it would be "What Dreams Are Made Of." And lucky for me and all the kids who grew up with Lizzie McGuire, Hilary Duff has mounted a comeback tour titled Lucky Me. She's been zipping across the country (and soon, the globe) playing new music and those big hits, washing us all in nostalgia.

Should you be some of the chosen ones who scored tickets, I've got an entire guide to what to wear to the Lucky Me tour. From oversized T-shirts and sequins to going-out tops, here are nine pieces to get your refreshed Y2k wardrobe started.

When Is Hilary Duff Going on Tour?

Duff's Lucky Me tour kicked off in June, with the Younger star criss-crossing the country to West Palm Beach and Atlanta to Houston, Albuquerque and other Southern cities before making her way back to LA at the beginning of July. Duff will head back to the Midwest before stopping in the Northeast, which includes two sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden. She'll conclude her tour in early 2027 in Mexico, hitting Canada, the UK and Australia (among other destinations) along the way.

How Do I Style an Outfit for the Lucky Me Tour? 

Anyone who was raised on Lizzie McGuire and the panoply that was early 2000s Y2k culture can nail the aesthetic on the spot. Low rise bootcut jeans. Brightly colored fitted T-shirts. Boho braided and fringe belts. Chokers! The chokers! Honestly, Duff herself has served as the best outfit inspiration for her tour, with her performance ensembles feeling delightfully referential to the past while still contemporary enough to wear 25 years after the TV show first aired.

The pop star has whipped out feather boas, fun fringe dresses with stars and butterflies, knee-high boots and baggy jeans, and she might have just single-handedly revived the going-out top. Yes, the going-out tops have been 10/10. Silky halter tops. Chainmail tanks. Drapey one-shoulder tops that are so long they're almost a dress. (But she wears them with pants!) Then there are the slip dresses, bodysuits and oversized tees. Basically, take this as an excuse to pull out all your favorite Y2k styles.

One of the most eye-catching dresses I've seen Duff wear during her tour was a silk-and-lace number juxtaposed with a...harness. And this belted peplum top is giving a similar vibe. Throw on some low-rise jeans and you've got a concert-ready outfit.

I haven't seen too much jewelry on Duff during the tour, but if you're going to accessories, it doesn't get more '90s/2000s than one of these chokers. You can grab an assorted pack of 12 here, with different designs and colors.

The tour look I'm most obsessed with is Duff's fringe dress made from GLOW-IN-THE-DARK stars. It's a custom piece by Kelsey Randall, the designer behind Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia" chainmail dress. While it's been nearly impossible to track down an exact version, I was enamored by Retrofête's Heather dress, which features a beaded star fringe. More subtle, but the joy is in noticing the details. If you splurge on anything, make it this.

Admittedly, not all of us want to get dressed to the nines and thus prioritize style over comfort. Thankfully, that doesn't mean you miss out on fun fashion. Duff has incorporated oversized graphic tees into her costume changes, so you won't be out of place if you choose to throw one on. And what better, more on-theme choice do you have than this pick from Urban Outfitters?

Something I've found interesting is that while Duff performs quite a few costume changes, she's relied on the same pair of silver metallic boots for most of her outfits. They're under her oversized, wide-leg jeans and make even more of a statement when she rocks a mini dress. That being said, you absolutely can't go wrong picking up a pair for yourself. Steve Madden's Caro boots caught my eye for the partitioned, square toe box, crinkled finish and block heel.

For me, it doesn't get more Y2k than a scarf top, and Anthropologie-loved brand Maeve makes the Clara Cami in five fun prints, including leopard, polka dot and plaid. There are so many different ways to style the scarf, too. Besides looping it around your neck, you can also use it to put up your hair.

Pair that graphic tee with some baggy jeans—Duff certainly is. Her denim comes in all states and shapes, distressed and embellished, with unconventional pockets. Sticking to Y2k means opting for a low-rise cut, but Duff has updated the style for 2026 by choosing high-waisted pants. I have a feeling she'd approve of this raw-hemmed style from Asos.

When I think about the 2000s, it's all about sequins. I'm loving this halter-neck covered in green sequins by Nia. It has a self-tying back for a little peek-a-boo moment and fun V-shaped hem. Great thrown over a pair of baggy jeans.

While Duff's outfits have been delightful and each look unique, I've noticed a trend. The pop star loves a top with flowing fabric. So much flow, in fact, that it feels like the train of a bridal gown. Maeve's 100 percent cotton open-front top feels similar, with a deep slit that bifurcates at the bust and flows just past the knees.

This shoe style has been on all the cool girls I've seen this summer, and they're very 2000s coded. The heel comes in at just under two inches and is inset for better weight distribution. Translation: You can be on your feet all night, singing along. (Please cue up "What Dreams Are Made Of.")
