I wakened this week and Elizabeth Banks had mixed two of my favourite issues: Ripping on Gen Z’s trend decisions and paying homage to The White Lotus. She took to Instagram to lament the return of the low-rise jean utilizing Parker Posey’s epic White Lotus Season 3 monologue to enrich her level, and I’m feeling each ounce of this video proper now.
Right here’s what occurred. In her personal distinctive and sometimes hilarious model, Elizabeth Banks put collectively a reel lamenting the return of low rise denims (a transfer which we are able to all thank Gen Z’s latest obsession with the noughties, or as I, a millennial, would say, the early aughts, for bringing again into our lives). The video’s actually humorous for anybody feeling a little bit icky concerning the return of flaunting one’s pillowy stomach fats.
I suppose this was inevitable the second Carmen Electra teased a potential return for stomach button stickers, nevertheless it’s nonetheless very a lot a le sigh from me. Although it is also price stating Banks can be residing the pants-free life and avoiding denims on this publish that pays homage to Posey’s character’s feedback after she learns her daughter needs to spend a 12 months in a Thai monastery.
Followers have been tickled pink about Elizabeth Banks’ utilization of the standard Parker Posey quotes as an instance her level about “low rise denims” being “again.” Lots of them commented about how the Posey audio completely match her level within the video. (Although many different followers additionally famous Banks could be an ideal match for Mike White’s present.)
- Parker Posey is the medication we didn’t know all of us wanted!
- Parker completely kills it. She’s on fireplace.
- Parker Posie in a task she’s already made iconic❣️❣️❣️love this Elizabeth😂
- That is wonderful! Parker Posey is so wonderful in WL!!!
Pay attention: I’m lengthy sufficient within the tooth to know that trend developments come round repeatedly and once more. I’m additionally sufficiently old to know that when low rise denims make a (often transient) comeback, they are going to exit once more with a lot much less fuss than once they got here in, as a result of except you will have a teeny-tiny waist, they appear horrible on actually everybody.
Principally, Emily Ratajkowski can most likely put on them. However the remainder of us are inevitably SOL.
In the meantime, The White Lotus remains to be airing on the 2025 TV schedule. Look out for extra moments of Parker Posey greatness and hopefully no low rise denims. Thank goodness it is sizzling in Thailand.
