If you’ve ever been to Freaknik, you already know that it was the place for young Black adults to see and be seen. Everyone who was anyone was there, so you wouldn’t dare roll down to Atlanta if your outfits weren’t tight.
As we eagerly anticipate the upcoming Hulu Freaknik doc, we thought we’d look back at some of the best looks from the event. And although there aren’t a lot of photos from Freakniks past that are safe to share online, we did find a few that capture everything beautiful and fashionable about this epic party in the park. These are some of our favorite fashions from Freaknik.
We Wear Short Shorts

These girls are doing the thang in their coordinated cutoff denim shorts.
Box Braids For The Win

When your braids are this fly, you can’t help but smile.
Stylin’ in Shades

Blonde locks were everything in the 90s, but it’s the sunglasses for me.
Reppin’ the Divine Nine

If you belonged to a Black Greek Organization, you had to rep at Freaknik, like these brothers from Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
Fab Five at Freaknik

The University of Michigan’s Fab Five came to floss at 1994 Freaknik in button down shirts and jeans. Peep the white Honda Accord in the background!
Overalls Were Everything

We’re living for this rare shot of the late Tupac in overalls, a 90s fashion staple.
This Hair Ain’t Whipping Back and Forth

If you or someone you know never had hair like this, you don’t know nothing about the 1990s.
Strike a Pose

When you posed like this in your pics, you knew you look good.
Doin’ it in Denim

In the 90s, everyone wore white tops with denim bottoms. And these sisters are doing it flawlessly.
We Cute

Where my girls at? Your posse was a fashion statement within itself.
Looking Good in Leather

The green leather baseball cap was the perfect accessory to level up the short set.
Big Hair Don’t Care
How much hairspray does it take to get your joint looking like this?
