The Beauty Icon Everyone Was Talking About The Year You Were Born
Remember when Brigitte Bardot lit up the screen? Or when Jackie Kennedy proved that First Ladies could be super-stylish, too? Perhaps your era was the rise of the supermodel spearheaded by the likes of Elle Macpherson and Cindy Crawford? Here’s a look at the ultimate beauty icon each year from 1995 all the way back to 1955.
41. Alicia Silverstone (1995)
Alicia Silverstone was dubbed the voice of her generation thanks to her magnetic lead performance in classic teen movie Clueless. The actress left everyone falling in love with valley girl Cher thanks to her natural charm, comic timing, and blonde beauty. Sadly, Silverstone struggled to reach such glorious heights again.
40. Pamela Anderson (1994)
How many teenage boys didn’t have a poster of Pamela Anderson on their wall in the mid-1990s? The buxom blonde had viewers across the world admiring her bikini-clad form in appearances in the rescue drama Baywatch. And in 1994 she bagged her first leading film role in the rather more forgettable Raw Justice.
39. Kate Moss (1993)
Whereas her supermodel predecessors had always presented themselves as the height of glamor, Kate Moss helped to bring something a little down-and-dirty to the runway. Calvin Klein was certainly impressed by her grunge-chic style. The fashion house cast Moss in the Obsession fragrance campaign that courted major controversy in 1993.
38. Tyra Banks (1992)
The year 1992 saw a younger upstart give the supermodel Big Six a run for their money. Yes, Tyra Banks was only 19 years old when she stole the show on Yves Saint Laurent’s Haute Couture runway. Banks would, of course, later go on to find a whole new generation of style queens as the host of America’s Next Top Model.
