8 times Countess Vaughn had a ''passion for fashion''

The Everett Collection

Freddie's favorite phrase on The Parkers was, "I have a passion for fashion." But real fans of the hit '90s and early '00s sitcom know that Kim Parker was the true fashionista. Played by Countess Vaughn, Kim might've not been the brightest among her friends, but no one even came close to her style.

Some might say she was the original material girl (sorry, Madonna and Saucy Santana). Here are eight times Vaughn's style caught everyone's attention.

The pink fur and jean combo

Imagine walking into a room with a long jean jacket with pink fur around its neck and on the wrists. You better be ready for attention because that's what you'll get.

Kim Parker wore this when she became a writer for Santa Monica College's school newspaper. She was a gossip columnist—a fashionable one.

The TV Barbie

Angel Reese is the Double-Double Barbie, so we had to give Countess Vaughn the honor of TV Barbie. Vaughn was often pretty in pink, whether she was wearing a T-shirt, dress, or suit.

It's the checker pattern for us

We'll be honest: not everyone can pull off a checkered pattern blazer, but Countess Vaughn pulled it off in this episode of The Parkers. Did you pay attention to the fact that her hair matches the fit? A queen that coordinates!

Cowboy Parker

Since Beyonce's Cowboy Carter won Album of the Year at this year's Grammy Awards, we had to add this photo of Countess in cow print. We love it when the girls create their own rodeos!

In her airbrush t-shirt era

In the early '00s, you couldn't go anywhere without seeing someone in an airbrushed t-shirt. Kim Parker knew how to switch up her style, girly one moment and chill the next. She taught us how to serve looks!

The '90s IT girl pose

Sometimes, you can look at a photo and instantly tell what decade it was taken in. This photo feels so '90s/early '00s from the couch and pose alone. Both were staples in Black culture, TV, and real life.

Get into the flowers

When the sun's out, it's also time for our legs to be out. Kim Parker was no stranger to wearing dresses and platforms; when you're an IT girl, there's no shame in your game (style).

Parker never cared about what was "in" at the moment. She was the trendsetter.

Fierce in black

Countess Vaughn could've been a model, and she would've been in every prestigious magazine. Even when she wasn't the star of her own show yet, she still stole the scene.

Black is her color...better yet, every color is!
