Tori Spelling has completely reinvented her personal style since her split from husband Dean McDermott last year.
The actress, 50, once favored designer dresses and floral prints, but has now ditched her signature ladylike style for an edgy Y2K skater girl look.
Gone are the fancy frocks and frills, with Spelling now strutting her stuff in tiny crop tops with low-slung skate pants.
The self-confessed shopaholic is also a fan of cargo pants, which she often pairs with Converse sneakers.
Instead of labels like Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci, Spelling is now into brands like the youthful Dolls Kill, which specializes in punk inspired fashion and festival wear.

She had no qualms about flaunting her rebellious style makeover at the iHeartRadio Awards earlier this month.
Strutting her stuff on the red carpet, Spelling rocked plaid pants and a plunging black midriff top that showcased her cleavage and toned abs.
Her new look hasn’t gone unnoticed by her followers, who have been divided by the mother-of-five’s extreme style transformation.
‘Every time I see you I am trying to understand why you dress like skater girl who is 17. I wish women would dress like their age. Be proud of being that age!’ snapped one fan.
‘Do you and your kids shop at the same store?’ wrote another.
One added, ‘You’re a beautiful woman. Not a teenager, this look is not for you. Maybe your beautiful teen daughter could rock this.’
‘I think a more sophisticated look would be more appropriate for your age and status,’ another commented.

Despite the backlash, Spelling also received a series of compliments for her loyal fans.
‘You look absolutely amazing and beautiful,’ gushed one.
‘Tori looks great! For all the people saying negative things please stop tearing down this beautiful woman. Don’t be so quick to judge. She looks great and it’s time we start building women up instead of tearing them down!’ stated another.
This comes after Spelling broke her silence after filing for divorce from husband McDermott on her new podcast – and revealed she broke the devastating news to him midway through recording.
The MISSPELLING host spoke about the negative thoughts running through her head March 29.
The star called Dean while recording her podcast, with fans hearing the star speaking on the phone to her former beau and and announcing her decision to file for divorce.
She added that the filing was a formality and added that she was annoyed he had publicly spoken about their divorce – before bizarrely signing off the call with ‘love you.’
Elsewhere on the podcast, the star said: ‘I’ve never felt more alone.’
‘I don’t feel worth loving. That’s the truth. And that’s something that’s just in you, it’s not something I wanted or created,’ she said, revealing that she’d experienced those feelings for a long time.
‘That starts when you’re young. [And changing it], that’s not easy to do…. I don’t know if you can.’
‘I think a more sophisticated look would be more appropriate for your age and status,’ another commented

The former Beverly Hills 90210 star then called her estranged husband and left a message, letting him know that she had begun the procedure to dissolve their union.
‘There’s this weird thing that I didn’t know about before that you have to be careful with your ex. It’s a he-said, she-said, who filed first,’ she explained.
‘I had to file and go through the process and then once it was accepted and publicly posted, then I’m allowed to call and fill in my ex. So I just called Dean,’ the Scary Movie 2 alum explained.
‘He’s working and I have to tell him and I’m super nervous because I don’t like confrontation.’
Spelling went on to say she wished she had taken the steps toward divorce for ‘like… 15 years.’
‘We always say, “Hey, it made it 18 years.” It shouldn’t have made it 18 years,’ the High School Crimes and Misdemeanors star contended, revealing she had stayed to protect McDermott and her children.
‘And I think he would say the same thing if he and I had a real heart-to-heart. It would have been over a lot sooner.’
Tori seems to have shaken off her married style and revamped her wardrobe following her split from Dean

The couple met on the set of the TV movie Mind Over Murder in 2005.
There was an instant connection, although both were already married.
‘We had this very, quick, passionate falling in love period,’ the actress said, describing it as a ‘fast and furious romance.’
She praised McDermott for letting her be herself. ‘I just remember I could show him me.’
Continuing, she explained, ‘It wasn’t like, the cute like, giggly, “this is what people want me to be.” I was able to be like, loud and like ugh, body-type of Tori. I could have like, I could have a foul mouth,’ she claimed.
‘I’m not just Donna Martin, the perfect good girl. I could have some bad girl in me and it was okay. And he liked all those sides and he liked how smart I was and accepted me.’
The pair wed in May 2006 and welcomed son Liam in 2007.
Their family quickly grew and the former couple became parents to Stella, 15, Hattie, 12, Finn, 11 and Beau, seven.

‘Honestly, our relationship was never the same after we started having kids,’ the single mom said
‘We always said, “We won’t be those parents that change. We’ll make sure we make our relationship a priority, the two of us. We have date nights.” And everything went out the window. I became completely focused on the kids and kind of left him, in a way.’
While focusing on parenthood, the Izzy’s Way Home star said ‘Our relationship definitely changed where I really felt like I was in this alone with the kids.’
‘And he was there, but he was an extra set of hands. He put the car seat in because I didn’t know how to do it and things like that. Emotionally, I was it. Like, “Tag, you’re it.” I was the parent.’
The couple began supporting themselves via a series of reality shows that began with Tori & Dean: Inn Love in 2007 in which they operated a bed and breakfast .
The star said, ‘It was a lot of responsibility while also rebuilding a career — which I did. We became a family brand. I went from Hollywood rich girl… to like, cool mom. “Look at her. She does it all.” Meanwhile, behind the scenes, it was all falling apart.’
To live up to the image they had created for the world to see, Spelling said she ‘created the character of Dean,’ to turn him into ‘all those Prince Charmings I wanted when I was young.’
‘He had a lot of those qualities. But… you know… We did our reality show and the first one was like, “Fun, fun.” So any bad stuff that would happen or fights or anything, they would edit,’ she said of the process to protect the brand.
‘Women everywhere, I would hear, “I wish I had a Dean.” And I was like, “If you only knew…”‘

The couple did try therapy, but Spelling said they were focused on different issues.
She said McDermott was concerned with her sloppiness, and how she didn’t clean up after the family pets.
‘I’m really good at taking blame so that someone can start to feel like they can open up. So yeah, I would say, “I do this, and I do that.” Hoping he would be like, “Yeah, and I do this.” But instead it was more focused on, “The dog s– all over the house. She has too many animals. She’s a hoarder. She’s messy.” And I’m like, “Yup, yup, yup. That’s me,”‘
McDermott, who entered rehab in summer 2023 for his drinking, told Daily Mail he would often go into alcohol fueled rages that would ‘petrify’ his family.
‘Alcohol made me feel good enough. I started feeling good enough until it got to a point where it didn’t – it ended up in isolation.
‘It ended up with me drinking a fifth of tequila every night, seven days a week, and a handful of narcos [prescription meds] by myself with a beautiful family in the other room.
‘That’s what it led to and that’s what led to the brokenness and to what happened between me and Tori,’ he said.
The former actor is now working as an alcohol and addiction counselor.
