Critics say nostalgia runs in twenty year cycles. Well, the comedy Austin Powers: Goldmember hit the big 2-0 mark this week and Beyoncé’s star turn as Foxxy Cleopatra hits all our Y2K-nostalgia pleasure points. Her fashion in the film is a delightfully camp affair: metallic booty shorts, midriff jackets, big gold hoop earrings, and dangerously low-slung jeans with dramatic flared legs. In the film’s anniversary—and Beyoncé’s new album, Renaissance, releasing today—what better than honor to revisit one of the star’s most fashionable roles?

Foxxy’s character is a pastiche of leading ladies in Blaxploitation films—the sort of characters Hollywood legend Pam Grier made a name playing. It’s no surprise then that Beyoncé and Goldmember’s production team specifically mined Grier’s fashion, while also flipping through vintage issues of Ebony, Jet, and Vogue for inspiration. “When you start with a name like Foxxy Cleopatra, you can’t help but reference Pam Grier and that era. Goldmember was supposed to be set in ’75, but there were still a lot of ’60s aesthetics,” Deena Appel, costume designer, told Vulture in a recent oral history of the film.
