The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was one of my all time favorite sitcoms. It contained Will Smith, witty banter, and, of course, outrageous Hilary Banks (http://www.simplybe.co.uk/sb-edit/style-crush-hilary-banks/) fashion. Hilary was probably my favorite character on the show — she was just hilarious, what with being a spoiled brat who enjoyed nothing more than spending her father’s well earned money and berating her brother, Carlton, and cousin Will.
Hilary could also be a little selfish; upon hearing the news that her mother was pregnant, instead of being happy for her mom, she spends the time imagining the baby growing up and acting like her own personal assistant. However, Hilary usually got along well with her little sister Ashley and obviously her parents, too, as they held the key to her happiness: money.
Hilary is a total daddy’s girl and has Philip Banks wrapped tightly around her little finger. At the beginning of the series, she is introduced to Will and promptly repeats to her father that she needs $300. When questioned for what purpose, she replies succinctly, “I need a new hat,” as she drops a mountain of bags from her recent shopping spree onto the floor. Although spoiled rotten, she does have some priceless, fashion-orientated one-liners such as, “What dog did he steal that sweater from?” and, “I haven’t been this happy since I bought my Giorgio Armani suit.”
In fact, I would argue that Hilary was as fashion savvy as Cher Horowitz (http://www.bustle.com/articles/79111-recreate-7-cher-horowitz-signature-looks-for-spring-because-clueless-fashion-is-the-best-fashion). The two share more similarities: They love designer clothes, they enjoy flashing their dad’s cash, and delight in going out with boys their parent(s) don’t approve of. However, Miss Banks had a mean streak. Hilary was the original Mean Girl and she would have wiped the floor with Regina George. So to honor this clueless, mean fashion queen, let’s take a look back at Hilary’s most OTT fashion moments.
