10 of the most iconic red carpet looks from the 90s
Whether it was a movie premiere or the Vogue fashion awards, the 90s was a decade which showcased the juxtaposition between decadence and informality. With the help of Asos, you too can feel like an A-lister.
Reese Witherspoon, 1996
At just 20 years old, Reese Witherspoon was showing even the most established actors how it's done. The red leather jacket paired with the pinstripe trousers gave a subtle nod to the British punk movement of the 70s, but the black crop top was a true 90s staple.
Gwyneth Paltrow, 1996
What could make a bigger statement than a leopard print trench coat? Perhaps wearing converse on a red carpet! With a 60s coat and skirt combined with a popular 80s trainer and a true 90s cropped shirt, Paltrow's outfit is full of fashion history. For such a mix-match of decade influences, this look is perfectly in sync.
Jared Leto, 1994
Jared Leto in 2022 is all about flamboyance and confidence, but his 22 year old self had other ideas about fashion. The blue bomber jacket and baggy jeans would have been a highly trend-driven outfit for the time, drawing attention to even the most informal of outfits.
Brad Pitt, 1997
Brad Pitt's red carpet look may be basic in principle, but the lemon shirt underneath the navy blazer proved to be the perfect pop of colour. Some have drawn similarity between this look and one from a 2020 runway look, demonstrating the 90s has had a continuous and everlasting affect on the fashion world.
Sarah Jessica Parker, 1997
Sarah Jessica Parker made headlines with the so-called 'naked dress' at the Vogue fashion awards in '97. The nude mini dress paired with strappy-heels could not be further from a Carrie outfit, but for Sarah, this look certainly placed her on the fashion map.
Julia Roberts, 1990
Potentially the most iconic look on the list, Julia Roberts pushed boundaries with her men's suit at the Golden Globes. The androgynous outfit inspired a generation to allow creativity and freedom to reign their fashion choices.
Jay-z, 1998
It's clear to see Jay-z took inspiration from his hip-hop peers when picking this outfit. The dark denim and bold leather bomber jacket gives an insight into what the genre's top artists were wearing at the time. Add a silver chain and the look is complete!
Ashton Kutcher,1999
When skater meets red carpet. Kutcher's outfit was certainly casual, but the loose-fitting look fits right in with the decades laid-back vibe. For the actors first red carpet, he certainly made a statement!
Halle Berry, 1993
Cow-girl chic - an up and coming look in 2022, as more of us are trawling through vintage markets in the hopes of finding a staple pair of cowboy boots. Halle Berry's ability to tone down a fringed waistcoat with a pair of straight leg jeans and make it red carpet appropriate is astonishing and honestly - we're jealous!
Jennifer Lopez, 1997
J-Lo never fails to please the masses with her red carpet looks - and this is no exception. This beautiful embellished gown took the Oscars by storm in '97 and combined with the most authentic 90s makeup, this look is certainly one to remember.
