“If I wear that much beige at 45, just put me in the grave.”
Millennials went into a frenzy over a viral Twitter thread that showed what adults in their mid-40s were like in the 1990s.
Last month, filmmaker Jessica Ellis shared a series of tweets about the 1995 film, “Father of the Bride Part II,” pointing out how Steve Martin and Diane Keaton’s characters — who were said to be about 45 years old — were portrayed in the film to mark the times, including the specific clothes, hair and makeup that depicted 40-something adults back in the ’90s.
“Father of the Bride II,” written by Nancy Meyers, centers on George (Martin) as he processes the shocking news that both his daughter Annie (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) and wife Nina (Keaton) are pregnant.
In her Twitter thread, Ellis first posted a shot of Martin and Keaton from the film, in which the latter can be seen wearing a beige sweater with a white collared shirt underneath and a strand of pearls on top, while the former — who had white hair — donned a suit and printed tie.
“An unbelievable thing that has changed in 30 years is that in 1995, this was supposed to be what 45 year-olds looked like,” she wrote alongside the photo, “This photograph also explains why Millennials live with a sneaking suspicion we have never gotten our s— together.”
