The hit show “The Nanny” was more than quality content — it was a cultural gem. Fran Fine, played by Fran Drescher, gave us more than punchlines; she gave us looks. Loud prints, bold colors, and the tight-fitted skirts would give Rihanna a run for her money, with every outfit worthy of a spread in your favorite Black fashion site. Fran was our on-screen auntie, commanding every room’s attention.
Suggested Reading
She did more than bring comedic relief — she was a style icon who inspired women to dress with boldness, even today. Let’s revisit how our girl, Fran Fine, served some unforgettable looks that we still want to recreate today.
Pinstripes & Patterns
When Nanny Fine stopped in her boss’s office, she always looked good doing it. She looked amazing in this dark pinstripe vest, paired with a white button-down shirt and a contrasting tie to set off the look.
Bedazzled Checkerboard
That sequined houndstooth blazer with the colored turtleneck was a real moment! Black women have always loved Fran Fine’s stylish fashion sense.
Printed Pink Suit
We remember when two-piece printed denim suits were a thing. Fran Fine always knew how to stand out compared to others.
Regal & Sophiscated
Fran Fine attempted a more “toned-down” look, but she still looked amazing in this blush jacket with the asymmetrical button closure. The draped scarf tied everything together, creating a great outfit inspiration for Easter Sunday in the 90s.
Big, Red Coat
Between Nanny Fine and Lil’ Kim, we were all probably inspired to rock this coat. It’s a truly beautiful statement piece.
Iridescent Polka Dots
The polka dot dress paired with the black turtleneck was perfectly coordinated to create a subtle yet bold look. And her mother nailed the color coordination.
White Sequin Dress
When it comes to being a showstopper, Fran Fine is the queen. Nanny Fine was on her way to a black-tie event, rocking a stunning white sequin dress. It reminds us of a dress that Beyoncé wore during her Renaissance tour.
A Little Leopard Print
Fran Fine dressed like a “Real Housewife” before the show was even created. This leopard-print collared dress was truly ahead of its time.
Sexy Red Number
Nanny Fine did not come to play with this gorgeous sequin dress. Based on C.C. and Maxwell’s facial expression, we don’t blame them for staring. This was the type of dress you wear that Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey will wear for a performance.
Blue Latex Dress
Before “Freak’em Dress” became a Beyoncé record, Ms. Fine did a good job looking amazing in this blue, latex dress. Even in the middle of a food fight, she looked gorgeous.
Inspired The Girls
Beyond the show, Fran Drescher inspired Black women to reimagine her best ’90s looks for today’s fashion. This TikTok creator did a wonderful job of completely nailing this sequin dress.
Recreating Is Inspiration
Even this creator was able to show how 90s look can still be a fashion moment today. She killed all of these looks!
What Would She Wear Now?
Fran Drescher inspired Black women with her bold and unapologetic fashion style. So what would Fran Fine wear today? Fran Drescher recently played “dress-up” and gave us a clue on what she would wear, and we loved every look.
