28 of the best 90s style icons
These stars made the 90s the most adventurous and stylish decade in fashion
The 90s were a prime time for fashion; so much so that many of our current wardrobe staples (and the celebrities that inspired them) sought inspiration from trends of the era. Think Princess Diana’s oversized sweatshirt and cycling shorts combo or Julia Roberts’ power suits.
The simultaneous popularisation of sitcoms, rock 'n' roll and hip-hop music, alongside the birth of the original supermodels, made these years the most fun and exciting time for personal style because the rules were abandoned. You could be dressed as an edgy rockstar one day, and a minimal, ‘quiet luxury’ supermodel the next and it would all fall into the trends of the moment. Why? Because that’s exactly what our favourite style icons did.
While there are embarrassing 90s trends we all remember, most style moments from the decade, and the celebrities who brought them to life, have gone down in pop culture history as fashion pioneers. Here, we take a look back at the best 90s style icons and why they got it so right.
