Kate Moss's '90s Outfits That Look Just as Cool Today
Kate Moss's '90s style is still one of the most worshipped looks of our time—just a quick scroll through Pinterest will show you countless pictures of the young model circa 1993 looking as individual as ever. One would struggle to find a Moss outfit that hasn't been endlessly copied since her rise to fashion fame. However, there some lesser-known outfits in the KM archive that relate particularly well to today's trends. While, yes, the hot pants, studded belt, vest top and waistcoat Kate wore to Glastonbury were epic, they should remain (for now) firmly in the past. But that minimal ensemble alongside Naomi Campbell in the '90s? Ripe for the picking, friends. Go through the gallery below to see the most iconic Kate Moss '90s outfits you can re-create today…
1. An LBD With Feathers
Style Notes: At the Cannes Film Festival in 1998, Kate Moss wore an off-the-shoulder little black dress with marabou trim, which would still be the freshest spin on red carpet dressing if she wore it on the Riviera today. Follow Moss's lead and add feathers to your after-dark attire.

2. Dressed-Down Airport Style
Style Notes: Kate Moss did the off-duty crop top way before Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. In 1994, her airport look was a tummy-flashing tank, simple-cut jeans, block heels and a leopard-printed handbag. Wear now with straight-leg jeans.

3. Minimalistic Separates
Style Notes: Kate Moss was the queen of effortless basics back in the Johnny Depp era, and her white tee, camel coat and black miniskirt formula would look just as cool today. Update the look by pairing it with sparkling white trainers and a minimalistic bucket bag.

4. The Slip Dress
Style Notes: When we think about Moss in the '90s, this is often the outfit we think of. The slip dress of our dreams.

5. Tomboyish Trainers
Style Notes: In 1990, when Kate Moss was only 16, she paired a grey suit with a white T-shirt and Adidas trainers. To modernise the look, opt for a tailored grey trouser instead of a shiny suit.

6. The Yellow Dress
Style Notes: A yellow dress has long been a Kate Moss signature, and they are a favourite for this summer too. Add strappy heels to wear it the supermodel way.
