Sarah Michelle Gellar Launches '90s Memorabilia Auction, Pop-Up with eBay

Sarah Michelle Gellar has expressed a strong admiration for the wardrobe of her '90s character Kathryn Merteuil from Cruel Intentions, highlighting the iconic sleek blazer and bustier combo that was custom-made for her. She fondly recalls the experience of having a corset tailor-made at a renowned Los Angeles boutique, which was a first for her and contributed to the iconic look. Gellar is also revisiting her past roles through reboots of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, valuing the emotional resonance and lasting impact of her earlier work despite the challenges of reboots. Embracing '90s nostalgia, she is involved in a curated collection with eBay celebrating the decade's fashion and memorabilia, including pieces from Buffy and other iconic items, with proceeds benefiting Make-A-Wish. While she appreciates the return of certain '90s trends like slip dresses and combat boots, she is critical of the resurgence of chokers, feeling they do not flatter most wearers. Gellar’s reflections underscore her enduring connection to the '90s era, both personally and professionally, as she balances nostalgia with contemporary relevance.
