Beverly Fug 90210
Part of me suspects that Gabrielle Carteris came to the Melrose Place and 90210 DVD release party (sidebar: AT LAST, THANK YOU, LORD! Our prayers have been answered!) in costume as Andrea Zuckerman:

Those sleeves just scream "Doctor divorced from man she married because he knocked her up, back in town to try and seduce the self-righteous dude who refused to take the flower of her virginity when she offered it to him -- because he was moving back to Minneapolis -- in one of the most cringe-y scenes ever put to film, topping even the time Donna starred in David's 'Light the Match' video and was forced to wear hot pants and gyrate on the hood of a car, lighting matches under the disapproving eye of her dreamy and likewise virginal star quarterback boyfriend, Heart Condition Joe." And I don't know: All that fringe is kinda mesmerizing, like something you'd seen on a fortune teller at the county fair. Brandon might be hypnotized into going for it.
Overall, though, the gang from the Peach Pit has held up pretty well:

In this tableau alone we've got: 1) a victim of date rape, attempted rape, non-date rape, amnesia, a terrible frat-house fire, a stalker, a cult, endometriosis, drug addiction, diet pills addiction, and her step-brother seeing her naked; 2) a dude whose mom was homeless and mentally ill, who was addicted to meth REALLY BAD for one day, who stole money from his girlfriend, who accidentally misplaced his sister because of drugs, who saw his friend accidentally kill himself, and who had to deflower Tori Spelling; 3) Steve Sanders; 4) the most self-righteous character ever written who also happened to be gambling addict, a possible sex addict and someone who caused a drunk-driving accident; and 5) a Type A perfectionist who nevertheless almost had an affair with her drama teacher, had an affair with a dude she met at the laundromat, had an affair with her RA, had an unplanned pregnancy and a terribly painful divorce, and also really bad outfits. Seriously, all things considered, they look pretty swell.
