#TheLIST: '90s Beauty Icons
All the best parts of nineties beauty (matte skin, brick-red lips, unstyled hair) and none of the bad (obvious lipliner, unflattering shades of brown) are back for fall. In honor of the decade, we rounded up the iconic women who have come to represent it.
Time and time again backstage at the Fall 2015 shows, hairstylists and makeup artists referenced the nineties as their inspiration for the beauty looks they were sending down the runway. Thankfully, lipliner and hard-to-wear shades of brown were nowhere to be found; instead it was all matte skin, brick-red lips and unstyled hair with cool, tomboyish charm. In honor of the decade, we're looking back at the iconic supermodels, actresses and singers who have come to represent it.
Claudia Schiffer
Blonde hair, blue eyes and the brightest smile made Schiffer the ultimate model-next-door.
Kate Moss
The Brit singlehandedly changed the modeling world when she came on the scene in the early '90s with a waifish frame and completely different look.
Gwen Stefani
The No Doubt singer has given up the club kid hairstyles and ultrathin brows while staying true to her signature platinum color and bright red lipstick.
Naomi Campbell
Each time Campbell comes back to close a show, we're reminded why she's been the reigning queen of the runway since the '80s.
Elle Macpherson
Dubbed "The Body," Macpherson frequented the pages of Sports Illustrated, Playboy and just about every high fashion magazine during her time.
Winona Ryder
Ryder was a sort of manic pixie dream girl for the grungey, goth set during the decade in which she dated Johnny Depp, starred in a series of cult hits and had the coolest cut around.
Uma Thurman
A black wig and dark lipstick transformed the actress for her breakout role in 1994's Pulp Fiction.
Jennifer Aniston
Things haven't changed much since the Friends days, when Aniston had the haircut just about every woman in America wanted.
Cindy Crawford
The supermodel balanced out the heroin chic trend of the '90s with her athletic build, bronze tan and major blowout.
Tyra Banks
Banks's curves and sultry smize made her one of the most memorable Victoria's Secret Angels.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Proof that the actress is totally qualified to dole out beauty advice on goop: She's managed to keep her skin just as flawless and her hair just as effortless as it was 20 years ago.
Drew Barrymore
Barrymore was the '90s wild child—with a bit of flower power thrown in.
Princess Diana
The beloved princess of the people exuded style and grace.
Victoria Beckham
Beckham has only gotten chicer since her stint as Posh Spice, where her razor-sharp cut and skintight clothes made her the most intimidating of the group.
Sharon Stone
Basic Instinct secured Stone's reputation as an icy, blonde bad girl.
Demi Moore
This was the decade in which Moore proved herself to be one of the only women who looks just as stunning with long hair as she does with a shaved head.
Pamela Anderson
The bombshell took the Farrah Fawcett model of California girl beauty—blonde waves, a tan and a red swimsuit—and sexed it way up.
Madonna
Big hair, heavy makeup and overt sexuality were the Queen of Pop's '90s staples.
