It was a fabulous ode to 2000s fashion.
reboot to hit theaters later this year, it’s the perfect time to revisit the 2000 film. The movie starred three of the biggest names at the time: Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu and featured some of the best fashion and music of the early aughts. It was a film that proved women could fight crime just as well as James Bond, and look way better doing it.
Barrymore, Diaz, and Liu played the “Angels” who were employed by the mysterious Charles Townsend, aka Charlie. The Barrymore-produced film was a reboot of the original 1970s show that famously starred voluminously-coiffed Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, and Jaclyn Smith. It was a first of its kind series that depicted three strong female leads, in the midst of the second wave feminist movement.
The ass-kicking scenes were only made better by the clear chemisty between the trio. When Barrymore began looking for her fellow Angels, she called Diaz up with a proposition that was hard to resist. “Drew called me up and said, ‘I'm doing 'Charlie's Angels' and you have to do it with me,''at the time. “It will be girls jumping out of helicopters, driving fast boats, doing kung fu, and wearing tons of hot clothes.
What really brought the movie together though, was its unforgettable girl power soundtrack. You might remember the standout tune:"Independent Women Pt. I,” sang by that other legendary trio, Destiny’s Child. The song, which was later included in the group’s album, quickly became an empowering female anthem. It spent 11 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 100, making it the group’s longest-reigning hit, and was nominated for a Grammy.
Director Elizabeth Banks has already said the upcoming reboot is lessening the camp, but with Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska as the new Angels, the film is already bringing some much needed diversity to the franchise. With a theme song by Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus, and Ariana Grande, it looks like they've already got the soundtrack right. Let's hope they nail the style.
