The first decade of this century saw the advent of social media, the birth of cult classics… and plenty of celebrity drama.
Pop culture in the noughties was truly a sight to behold. It was the era of mega-star mania, tabloid supremacy and totally unfiltered and utterly bizarre reality TV shows for the masses to consume.
It’s hard to believe there was a time when British reality shows were in their (truly unhinged) heyday, the Kardashians were yet to make their name and Britney was releasing banger after banger.
It was the decade that brought us endlessly quotable classics like Mean Girls, The Devil Wears Prada and Freaky Friday and got the British public hooked to their TV sets with the thoroughly chaotic Big Brother.
In short, where would we be today without the naughty noughties?
As we inch further and further away from the turn of the century, 00s nostalgia has never felt so good. So sift out those low-rise baggy jeans, flip open your razor phone and come with us as we go back in time.

Nothing will humanise the biggest and most glamourous models in the world than shipping them off to Glastonbury musical festival to battle against the miserable British weather.
Still, back in 2005, Kate bravely rose to the occasion and somehow managed to pull off a badass ‘I don’t care’ demeanor as she traipsed through the dirt in her wellies with a lit cigarette in her mouth.
Supermodel prowess stops for no muddy bog.

There are a handful of pop culture moments that instantly make it into the hall of fame. Britney and Madonna locking lips at the 2003 VMAs is definitely one of them.
