00:00Hey guys, I'm Miranda Cosgrove. I'm about to take a trip down
00:03fashion memory lane with Would You Wear It Now?
00:11This is hilarious. My mom dressed me for this, clearly. It was the first time I'd ever been to
00:17the Kids' Choice Awards and I was super excited. I was on Drake and Josh at the time and these
00:23pictures just cracked me up because I look like I love myself so much. I just look so happy with
00:31myself and my outfit and obviously think I look so cool when I clearly do not. I think I have a
00:37choker on, I'm pretty sure, which I guess that is pretty cool for an eight-year-old, but the boots,
00:44the whole thing. I also, I think I chose to keep my credential on because I'm pretty sure I thought
00:50that was awesome that I even had that. And also, I think I've seen this picture before with a meme
00:55that says, when you're high in the McDonald's line. I'm pretty sure that that's the one that
01:01goes with that meme. I remember that this outfit was by a brand called Danang and that being eight
01:09or nine, that was a really cool brand. People thought that it was awesome. I just, I know I
01:15was really excited to be wearing this outfit and that just makes it even funnier. I would have to
01:20say no, I wouldn't wear any of these items today. Yeah, no. Maybe, I was gonna say maybe I'd wear a
01:29credential to try to do a throwback to this or something one day, just to be funny. Chokers are
01:35kind of in and I'm pretty sure that's a choker, a rhinestone choker. The boots, I don't know.
01:42They're cute in their own way, I guess. This is worse to me, even. My mom also totally helped me dress
01:50myself. I was going through a phase at this point where I would wear this, I can't remember what they
01:55were called, but they're these funny things, little twisty things that you put in your hair at night
01:59and then when you wake up in the morning, you take them out and your hair is wavy. Because my hair's
02:02always been really straight and I've always wanted curly hair, so I remember being really excited to
02:08wear my hair like that. I would say during this phase, I wasn't that opinionated. I kind of let my
02:13mom take the reins on what I wore to this. I do remember choosing the boots, which was a terrible
02:19idea and my mom allowed me to do that probably because she wanted me to get to pick something,
02:25some part of the outfit. Yeah, it's tragic, but it's just the boots don't go with the rest of the
02:30outfit in any way and then my hair is sort of like I was trying to go for a bohemian look, but the
02:36rest of it isn't bohemian. I don't know what's happening. I would not wear this look now. I was
02:42a little bit involved in developing Carly's look, but like I would go in and I would do fittings and
02:48stuff and if I really didn't like something, the wardrobe lady was always really cool and she
02:52wouldn't make me wear anything I didn't like, but I also did not have very good style at all.
02:57So, I know that I loved boots. I went through, I'm still, I still love boots, but I went through a
03:02major boot phase when I was younger and I just wanted to put boots with everything and I thought
03:07that it was a rocker cool thing to do. That's my excuse for these crazy boots and then also,
03:13for some reason, I just feel like everybody on Nickelodeon and Disney back then on all the
03:17kids shows would just layer a bunch of different, like a t-shirt underneath a blouse with a jacket
03:24on top and they'd all be different prints and really loud and bright. I just feel like that
03:28was a thing back then. So, as you can see, I definitely wore that look in all these pictures.
03:35I remember this was the first time I did an iCarly photo shoot where they let me wear heels
03:39and I was super excited about that. I also remember loving this outfit and loving the belt
03:46and the necklace. The leggings are so crazy. It's just random cheetah leggings.
03:52It's wild. When we first started iCarly when I was 13, kids didn't have YouTube channels and we
03:57started off the show, one of our main ideas was we were going to have a bunch of people
04:01send in videos to Carly's web show and we were going to use real people's videos. So, even though
04:07the character was putting the videos on her show, it was going to be real people sending them in.
04:11But then the first season, we tried to get videos from people and back then nobody had
04:15web shows and nobody was on YouTube. So, we got like 10 videos and didn't have enough to
04:21pick from. And I even remember when they told me the idea by Carly, I didn't know what a web show
04:26was. I was thinking, what is this? Are people going to understand what this is? And then maybe
04:31second, third season, a lot of people started making YouTube channels and we got way more
04:36submissions and it really became a thing. So, when we first started off, I didn't have a whole
04:40lot of direction with my clothing, like looking at other influencers' clothing or anything like
04:45that because there just weren't that many influencers. It's been really fun getting to
04:49play the character again. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a little scared when we started
04:54for the first time when we were on set just because so many moments on set remind me of
04:59my childhood. I mean, even walking on the set itself and seeing it again for the first time,
05:04it was really kind of emotional, which I didn't expect that much until I got there the first day
05:09and I was looking around and I started remembering all these things from being there before.
05:13We cried a lot during the finale like eight years ago when we filmed it and I truly didn't think
05:18we'd ever get to make the show again. So, to get to do it again, it's just, I've been trying to
05:24really take it all in and just enjoy every second because it's something I never thought I was going
05:29to get to do. Carly still definitely has a youthful vibe just because she still has her show and she
05:34still does the same creative, wacky things on the show that she did before, even though it's a more
05:40mature version. So, a lot of the clothes that I wear, it's kind of like how I dress in real life
05:44now and I do get to work a lot more with the stylist for the show than I was able to when I was
05:49younger. All my friends always send me this meme with all the different like things on it. I get
05:56different ones once a month that people create and then my friends find them on Twitter or I find them
06:02and I've just always thought it was really funny and cool. So, we decided to do an episode of the
06:07new Carly revival where it's all about Carly turning into a meme accidentally and the meme
06:14sort of takes over her life and everybody's sending this meme to each other and people,
06:19her brother Spencer gets angry with her over the meme because he's in the background of the meme
06:24and he's sort of getting negative press for it. So, it was just really fun doing this whole
06:29episode about that because I have had a lot of memes of myself in my life. So, it was kind of
06:35taken a little bit from my real life and then that's where recreating this came into play.
06:40Shout out Kiki Palmer. I love her. She's hilarious and so fun. I am wearing an insane outfit.
06:47I look like a crazy person. I think I just wanted to be very sparkly and pink obviously and kind of
06:54wanted to go all out for my 16th birthday. Also, I remember feeling very cool and happy with this
06:59outfit. I do not think I would wear it today for sure. It was all pink everything and very sparkly
07:07at that moment in time. I was really into that. I think this was the first party I'd ever thrown
07:11in my whole life and even though my mom helped me and people helped me put it together and
07:16everything, it was so fun to have like a big party with a lot of people for the first time,
07:21especially for my 16th birthday and I got my license that year and everything. So,
07:26it was a fun one. This is my first time going to the MTV Music Awards. I presented with Justin
07:31Bieber this year and I was really excited. This dress is blinding. The shimmery mirror effect
07:38is pretty wild. The shoes, the matching mirror shoes. Oh, and then also that was, I didn't even
07:44notice that until just now, but I'm wearing an arm like a bracelet up high on my arm. Maybe I
07:50could wear this in a different way now if I didn't have the shoes and quite as much mirrory stuff
07:55going on, but probably not. Yeah, I think that this look was meant for 2009 and probably nowhere
08:02else. Oh yeah, I actually really like this dress. It's Versace and I was so excited to wear
08:09something. It's like so fancy. I would totally still wear this today. I also love the color red.
08:15I pierced my ears around this time for the first time and I got to wear earrings and this whole
08:20thing. I was just, I had a really good time that night. I was working with a stylist at this point.
08:25I feel like you can tell, like the other ones were just so bad and this one's pretty cute.
08:32I could not give up on the boots. I still haven't completely given them up, but I like this outfit.
08:38I like the jacket. I would definitely wear it. The dress is cute. I don't think I'd wear the boots again,
08:44but in the moment I love them. I'm pretty sure this is one of the first times I ever performed
08:48live and I was really nervous, but yeah, I like this outfit. I'm not gonna hate on this one.
08:55I loved Avril Lavigne and I loved Paramore and I think I really wanted to come off the tiniest bit
09:02edgy, which is hilarious because I could not be less edgy, but I think that's why I wanted to go
09:07with the leather jacket and the darker colors and the boots and everything because I just always
09:11felt so cool when I was dressed like that. I was always begging the stylist to put me in boots and
09:16put me in not as bright and sparkly stuff. I wanted to come off edgier. I wore this not too
09:22long ago, I think maybe four or five years ago. I would probably wear this again. I thought it was
09:27really pretty. I never had really worn longer dresses until like the last probably like six or
09:34seven years I started wearing them more. I felt like kind of elegant in this and it was a different
09:38look for me, something I had never tried before. Yeah, I love this outfit. I love anything
09:43aquarium fish themed and this was Versace, which is so cool and I loved it the second I saw it. It
09:50was actually the first outfit I tried on for the Kids' Choice Awards. It was also fun because I
09:54got to go to the Kids' Choice Awards for the first time in forever with Nathan and Jerry
09:59to talk about the Neway Carly revival and I just thought it was a fun, young, like upbeat outfit.
10:05I also got kind of lucky and it sort of matches the crazy colors in the background and the carpet,
10:10so yeah. And I did like a fun eye thing I had never done before, some really like pretty
10:17turquoise eyeliner, so it was a fun day. Well, even though I would never wear this Danang ensemble
10:24from the very first look that you showed me from the first time I went to the Kids' Choice Awards,
10:28I still love this picture and this outfit just because I love the memory and I do see this
10:33picture memed a lot and it just makes me laugh, so I'm gonna say that's one of my favorites for
10:38the memories. And then probably the most recent picture as far as the outfits go,
10:43that's probably my favorite look. Thank you guys for going down fashion memory lane with
