Get Inspired By Your Favorite 90s It Girl

The 1990s were a decade of girl power, grunge and glamour, and no one knew that better than the era’s It Girls. From Winona Ryder’s dark pixie vibe to the ultra-foxy looks of the era’s tribe of supermodels, their style was all their own.

Throw back to this enviable era from the ground up.

Winona Forever

Winona Ryder was the ultimate 90s darling, playing a diverse set of roles that included everything from a sarcastic college grad in Reality Bites to proper young lady in Little Women. Offscreen, she enjoyed a paparazzi-trailed romance with Johnny Depp and rocked a series of sophisticated black outfits on the red carpet. Get the Winona-off-duty look in a pair of light wash jeans, a leather jacket over a white tee, and heavy-duty low-cut lace-up shoes.

Courtney Love

Courtney Love might be remembered by some as Kurt Cobain’s wife, but to us she’ll always be the screaming hellion helming the classic grunge-punk band Hole. We’ll never forget the first time we saw her playing “Celebrity Skin” with her ripped-up babydoll dress and tousled hair, her foot, shod in a platform heel, propped up on an amp. Get powerful in chunky platform heels and a Courtney-esque minidress, best accessorized by a bad attitude.

The Supers

Where Courtney and Winona were grungy and approachable, there was a set of women whose faces (and legs) set the aspirational standard for the decade. “The Supers,” referring to the models of international stature including Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford, owned the runways with their strong looks and powerful personal style. To emulate a Super, slide into a super-simple silk slip dress and platform sandals that emphasize your mile-long legs.

Cher Horowitz

She was the rich-girl icon of her time, complete with rotating closet and customizable lighting. Clueless’s Cher Horowitz’s ditzy charm and rigid social rules made her endlessly appealing, not to mention her outlandish personal style. It might be difficult to get your hands on her same yellow plaid skirt suit, but you can imitate her style in a matching co-ord, knee socks and buckle-front Mary Janes.

The 90s are back in a big way. Let the It Girls of the decade be your saving grace when it comes to dressing up, 90s style.

Let your favorite 90s style icons shape your next shoe purchase.
