Outdated Trends Candace Cameron Bure Was Caught Wearing

Candace Cameron Bure has cemented her role as a fashionista over her decades long career. "I just always loved fashion, and just from being on 'Full House' when I was 10 years old, it comes from being on television and playing a character," she told WWD. The star loves clothing so much she launched her own collection with QVC and often drops outfit details for her Instagram followers. But, unfortunately, all that experience doesn't protect her from a faux pas. With trends coming and going faster than ever before, it can be tough to keep up with what's hot and what's not. That means even the most fashion-forward stars fall into the trap of wearing an outdated garment or two — even Bure.

In addition to Bure having several outfits that totally missed the mark, she's missed the memo that some of her clothing and cosmetics choices need an update. From a miniskirt in winter 2024 to a too late '90s makeup look that fall, these looks were better left in the past when they were last trendy.

Candace Cameron Bure looked stunning at the Great American Family Christmas Festival in November 2024. The beauty wore a fluffy, cream sweater with metallic peep toe heels and a high-waisted, white mini-skirt. But, unfortunately, the latter was outdated. Though miniskirts had a revival in 2023, the style was quickly deemed out again and was also named one of the most outdated trends of spring 2025 by fashion stylist and lifestyle expert Joseph Katz. "Micro minis might be losing a bit of their edge as people lean into practicality and versatility, all while keeping that effortless elegance in mind," Katz told us.

To keep Bure's look current, we'd have recommended a slightly longer version of the garment or sparkly pants, which are more season appropriate. As a general rule, super short skirts with bare legs or sheer hosiery don't always work in the winter, particularly at holiday events.

In a September 2024 Instagram video, Candace Cameron Bure told fans, "Clearly I was inspired by the '90s today with my dark mauve lipstick and not much eye makeup." But, unfortunately, even though several '90s beauty trends returned in the early 2020s, she got in on the throwback makeup train a little too late.

Awkwardly for Bure, Aarti Pal, makeup artist and DEI committee member of the British Beauty Council, had already told Who What Wear UK the '90s makeup renaissance of bare eyes and bolder lips was over. "I can see the evolution of bold eye makeup for 2024," Pal said in summer 2024. "From daring graphics to vibrant liners and even rhinestones for special occasions, eyes may become the most versatile, standout accessory, allowing an exciting expression of individuality."

Equally, Bure's lipstick was on the matte side and bucked the 2024 makeup trend of super glossy lips. To fix that, we'd have applied a gloss over her lipstick to keep her look up to date.

In early spring 2024, Candace Cameron Bure stepped out for '90s Con in an all-white ensemble. She posed on the red carpet in a button-down romper with a material belt, which she paired with matching pointed toe, slingback kitten heels with double T-Bar straps.

While we appreciate the Great American Family star (or her stylist) clearly thought about her outfit and chose colors that matched, single shade ensembles weren't hot at the time. In fact, we named monochrome looks as one of the most outdated trends to avoid in 2024 in favor of mixed, bolder garments that packed more of a punch. To put Bure back on the right side of fashion critics, we'd have suggested pairing her romper with silver or gold metallic shoes or colored satin heels, which were two of the hottest shoe trends of 2024.

Despite their once soaring popularity, skinny jeans have been outdated since before 2023. And so have ankle boots. The garments were two of the most outdated fashion trends we didn't want to be caught in for winter 2023/2024, as we learned how to style loose denim pieces in the absence of skinnys. But Candace Cameron Bure didn't get the message.

The actor shared an Instagram video in October 2023 that showed her strolling outside in beige stiletto ankle boots and skinny blue jeans. She styled the pieces with a matching slouchy bag, belt, and a blue and white stripe button down. Bure also wore white rimmed sunglasses and a youthful, voluminous ponytail. But her glam accessories and confident strut weren't enough to distract us from her dated vibe. To be more fashionable, Bure needed to loosen up her bottoms and elongate her shoes. Cowboy boots were hugely popular that fall and could have elevated her look if paired with wide-leg jeans.

In a March 2023 episode of "The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast," Candace Cameron Bure made an odd shoe choice she opted for slouchy, tan, calf-high, kitten heel boots over black pants, a white top, and dark gray blazer. The footwear didn't work for two reasons. The boot style had officially been declared out in early 2023 in favor of stiletto sock boots, so they totally dated the actor's look. But even if the scrunchy boots were still the shoe of the moment, they felt like a strange choice for the start of spring when we tend to swap to lighter footwear.

Instead, we'd have recommended Bure try white flats. Not only were they more appropriate as the weather got warmer, they became the hottest unexpected shoe trend of fall 2023 and would have put Bure ahead of the fashion curve, where she deserves to be.
