Whether fighting vampires or putting together an elegant outfit, Buffy Summers all the time slayed, but unfortunately, star Sarah Michelle Gellar didn’t keep all of those iconic ’90s and ’00s looks.
“I even have a few pieces, but we weren’t allowed to maintain the wardrobe in those days,” Gellar, 46, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting her partnership with UScellular for the Global Day of Unplugging.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer debuted on March 10, 1997, as slightly midseason alternative TV show on The WB, and 27 years later, it’s still a cult hit. The fantasy show aired for seven seasons, spawned the spinoff Angel and still inspires recent works (akin to Audible’s Slayers, which reunited several solid members last fall). Buffy‘s success was initially a surprise, and now, the incontrovertible fact that her 14-year-old daughter Charlotte is embracing the identical trends Buffy once donned has Gellar doing a double take.
“Isn’t that crazy?” the actress said. “When my daughter got here back and she or he’s like, ‘Do you continue to have any chokers?’ I used to be like, ‘What?’ Or she’ll come out with the white T-shirt with the dress over it.”

Yet Charlotte won’t find too many Buffy wardrobe pieces in her mom’s closet. “I believe growing up in Recent York City, I grew up in a small apartment, and so we didn’t have room,” Gellar explained to Us. “There was never storage. I never grew up with the concept of holding onto these items.”
Although she and husband Freddie Prinze Jr. (with whom she also shares son Rocky, 11) have extra space now, the Wolf Pack alum continues to be attempting to not hold onto an excessive amount of.
“Even now, it’s funny, I recently did an enormous purge and I’ve been saving my purses and stuff for my daughter,” Gellar said. “But I’m like, ‘By the point she gets older, she doesn’t even going to want half my stuff.’ So I’m attempting to determine what to carry onto.”
Despite her city gal approach, the star said she was sure to maintain one memorable piece in her closet. “Buffy’s dress at the top of the primary season was based on a dress and Emmy dress that I wore, and I even have that,” she shared.
Proud parents! Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. have been gushing about their kids since starting their family in 2009. The actress gave birth to their daughter, Charlotte, that 12 months, followed by son Rocky in 2012 — and the little ones are anxious for a younger sibling.

The dress, which she wore as she accepted her Daytime Emmy Award in 1995 for her role on All My Children, even still matches. In 2020, the actress pulled the with a photograph of herself wearing the robe.
“All dressed up and no where to go. ‘I say we party,’” she captioned the photo, quoting her character within the season 1 finale.
The clothing, nonetheless, might be all her kids get to see of the later BtVS seasons. “We skipped season 6 because they were really young,” Gellar said. “It was not appropriate.”
The Cruel Intentions star previously told Us that she let her daughter and son watch the early episodes of Buffy but eventually decided not to indicate them the darker parts.
