Let’s be real: nobody’s kid is asking to watch the 1997 Elle Style Awards. It’s a relic from a different era of television. While it’s technically safe enough to have on in the background, it’s essentially a very long, very old commercial for high-end fashion brands.
If you have a teen who is genuinely into fashion design, they might find some value in seeing the archival looks. Otherwise, this is a skip. It’s outdated, the video quality is likely poor, and the 'prestige' of 1997 doesn't translate to a 2026 audience.
