Part Two: 5 times Countess Vaughn had a ''passion for fashion''

CBS Television Distribution

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 five times (part two) 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.

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!

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!

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.

Stylin' brown and blue

"Wear the clothes, don't let the clothes wear you," will never apply to Kim Parker. She threw a fit every time. This brown-and-blue button-up blouse is simple, but with her jewelry, hairstyle, and flawless makeup, she looks amazing.
