Outfits Guide
Rainbow sweater on a normal day. Corset and fedora when the friend group picks Britney for Halloween.
Abby spends most of her time in Wellsbury holding her friend group together while managing her parents’ divorce mostly on her own. The fedora and corset combo is the piece that decides whether the Britney look reads at all, since without it you’re just a person in black clothes standing at a party. Katie Douglas, a Canadian actress, has played Abby since the show’s first season on Netflix (Wikipedia), and the show has stayed popular enough that both looks travel past people who’ve actually watched an episode.

The sweater is what people notice first on the everyday look, and if it’s a soft pastel rainbow instead of bold, warm stripes, the whole outfit reads as generic instead of Abby’s. For the Britney look, the fedora tip is the moment. Skip the tilt and just wear it flat, and by hour two of the party you’ll have drifted from “Britney homage” to “person who forgot a hat.”
There’s a scene where Abby snaps at Ginny out of nowhere, brushing off a compliment with something sharp, then walks off before anyone can ask what’s actually wrong. She doesn’t explain herself in the moment. That’s the read to lean into if you’re doing this in character: quick, a little defensive, and not particularly interested in smoothing it over for anyone watching.
The corset needs a break-in test
Lace-up corsets that felt fine standing in your bedroom mirror can dig in badly after three hours of sitting, dancing, and eating party food. Try sitting down in it for twenty minutes before the actual event. If it’s uncomfortable then, it will be worse later, and you’re better off loosening the lacing now than adjusting it in a bathroom mid-party.
The faux collar will try to escape
Clip-on collars shift out from under a corset over the course of a night, usually ending up crooked or half-hidden. A couple of small fashion tape strips at the shoulder seams keep it in place without anyone seeing the fix.
Friend Group Idea
Strong group if everyone actually commits to their character. MANG is short for Max, Abby, Norah, and Ginny, the four-girl friend group that anchors most of the show’s high school storylines. Three of the four showing up without the fourth reads as a random group of teens rather than a specific reference, so this only works as a full set.
Group Idea: Y2K & Gen Z Teen Drama Icons
Strong group for a crowd that actually watches current teen dramas. Cassie and Maddy from Euphoria have a much harder edge than Abby or Devi from Never Have I Ever, so the tonal mix is a little uneven, but all four shows share the same streaming-teen-drama moment and the costumes contrast well next to each other visually.
Novelty Group Idea
Might work, but only as a party gimmick, since the only thing these four have in common is the name Abby. One is a Netflix teenager, one is an animated panda-turning tween, one is a Sesame Street muppet, and one is from a horror video game. Recognition will be all over the place depending on who’s in the room, and the joke only lands if you announce the theme out loud.
The everyday look is mostly a closet check. The Britney look takes more assembly, but nothing on this list needs sewing skills.
Abby is sharp, a little defensive, and doesn’t over-explain herself. She also isn’t afraid to be blunt with people she likes.
For the everyday look, wear a rainbow striped cropped sweater over denim bib overalls with white sneakers. For the Britney Spears look from the show’s Halloween party, layer a black corset bustier over a white tank top, add striped trousers, a black tie, a fedora tipped at an angle, and a wavy wig. The fedora and corset combo is what actually reads as Britney.
Ginny & Georgia is still one of Netflix’s most watched shows, with a fourth season already confirmed, so Abby’s looks travel outside a small fan bubble. The rainbow sweater reads as a normal 2026 outfit on its own, and the corset and fedora look is recognizable as a Britney Spears homage even to people who have never seen the show.
Abby is played by Katie Douglas, a Canadian actress born in Burlington, Ontario, who joined the show in season one and became a lead cast member from season two onward (Wikipedia). She has also appeared in the film Clown in a Cornfield and the CBC series Pretty Hard Cases.
It’s from the Halloween party episode, where Abby and the rest of her friend group each dress up as a different Britney Spears era for the same party. Ginny’s costume from that episode is the schoolgirl look from the “…Baby One More Time” video, which is a separate reference point from the black corset era Abby wears (IMDb).
Skip it if your hair is already long, dark, or close to a wavy blonde-to-brown fade. The wig only matters if your natural hair is short or a color nowhere near the look.
Yes. Abby’s real friend group in the show is MANG, short for Max, Abby, Norah, and Ginny. It only works if all four people show up, since three of the four standing there without the fourth just reads as a random group of teens.
The rainbow sweater and overalls look is Abby’s regular school outfit and needs almost no explanation to anyone. The corset and fedora look is a costume inside the show itself, a Britney Spears tribute for one specific Halloween party, so it needs the fedora and eye makeup to read as intentional rather than random.
