The year 2008 may not feel like that long ago, but when you unearth photos of ya faves, it begins to feel a little more distant. Take, for instance, when Lauren Conrad, Hilary Duff, andTaylor Swift covered the Us Weekly Style Issue—yes, that was a thing—in multiple coordinated outfits. 2008 was a crazy time, y’all.
Let’s take a look at some of the shoot’s outtakes, shall we?

There’s also a BTS video from the shoot, in which Hilary reveals she just learned how to online shop (LOL), who gets their clothes when they’re done with them, and more. Watching it is seriously like taking a time machine back to 2008, and I highly recommend it.
