Jill Marie Jones’s character Toni Childs’ style in Girlfriends is beloved by many. There were countless moments throughout the series’ run that are etched in our memories. Chic suits, quiet luxury pieces, and a Hermès Birkin were all a part of the history of Toni’s costume design by Stacy Beverly. Jones’ style was also eye-catching in the early aughts. She wore skinny jeans and tight tops often on and off the screen with a stylish carry-all on hand. Childs and Jones are strikingly similar when it comes to their taste levels. Her summer style, even on the red carpet, was classic, simple, and effortless.
From jumpsuits with boots to floral flowy dresses with a clutch in hand, and even when she was spotted in tie-up detailed pants with a cropped top–Jones always stayed true to her personal style. A pointed shoe during the early aughts was quite popular so Jones would be in a pair often. She evoked a certain 2000s style that is easy to recreate even today as she was a bit ahead of her time regarding fashion.
In Los Angeles, for the premiere of Bruce Almighty in 2003, Jones wore an everyday summer look that we want to embody this season. She wore a pair of crisp white pants with a white and green ringer baby T-shirt. Her blue and red strapped bag and pointed-toe orange boots were a refreshing and laidback look for the red carpet. We found a few pieces to help you recreate this warm weather-approved look.
