Sarah Michelle Gellar Shares What ’90s Trends She’s ‘Always Here’ for — and the 1 She’d Leave in the Past (Exclusive)

Sarah Michelle Gellar Unveils her Favorite ’90s Trends in Exclusive Interview

Sarah Michelle Gellar, the renowned actress best known for her role in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” recently sat down with PEOPLE to discuss the iconic fashion trends of the ’90s that she would love to see make a comeback. As part of her collaboration with eBay for its 30th anniversary, Gellar shared her thoughts on which trends she’s excited about and which she’s ready to leave behind.

Gellar, 48, expressed her delight in seeing the resurgence of ’90s staples like t-shirts and slip dresses. She remarked, “I like that the t-shirts and the slip dresses came back because to me, a slip dress is always the easiest thing to wear. It’s always comfortable. I’m always here for a good slip dress moment.” It’s clear that Gellar has a keen eye for timeless and versatile fashion pieces.

However, not all trends from the ’90s have Gellar’s seal of approval. She candidly revealed that she is not a fan of the choker trend making a comeback. “The one that’s coming back that I don’t totally get is the chokers, because I feel like chokers cut your neck off. That’s the one that I’m not totally behind,” she explained. Gellar’s honest opinions on fashion trends add a refreshing perspective to the conversation.

In celebration of eBay’s 30th anniversary, Gellar announced a curated collection that pays homage to ’90s culture. The ’95 Shop features a selection of iconic fashion pieces, collectibles, and motors from the era. Among the highlights of the collection are signed memorabilia from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” including a 1995 Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel Rue Cambon Paris Belt and a 1994-95 Michael Jordan Autographed Bulls M&N White 45 Jersey. The collection will be auctioned online for seven days, with all proceeds going to Make-A-Wish.

Interestingly, Gellar shared an anecdote about her daughter critiquing her ’90s fashion choices. Despite not always seeing eye to eye on style, Gellar revealed, “Most of the time, our fashion sense and what we like are so different. Except when it comes to the stuff from the ’90s, whether it’s the clothing, the chokers, the Fendi [baguette], it’s the one time that we’re on the same page.” The intergenerational appreciation for ’90s fashion highlights its enduring appeal.

Fans of ’90s nostalgia can experience a blast from the past at the ’95 Shop pop-up in New York City on Sept. 4 or online at ebay.com. The curated collection offers a glimpse into the iconic fashion and cultural moments of the ’90s, allowing shoppers to relive the trends that defined the era.
