The Best '90s Beauty Icons
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.

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.

Tyra Banks
Banks’s curves and sultry smize made her one of the most memorable Victoria’s Secret Angels.
