All the Best ’90s Hair Inspo, as Seen in Vogue
Here at Vogue, our obsession with supermodels is never-ending. What Naomi, Christy, Cindy, Linda, and more (no last names required) were serving up in the glossy pages of magazines was beyond beauty or fashion—it was peak glamour.
Breaking down the most popular hair looks of the era (which was teased, blown out, brushed, and curled by the likes of Kevin Mancuso, Frédéric Fekkai, Garren, and James Brown) isn’t just as simple as talking about a singular trend. Instead, we saw pin-straight lengths, tight spiral curls, teased bouffant, micro bangs…. The list goes on. But instead of just telling you, we’ve collected the best hair looks from the capital-S supermodels of the decade—all seen in the pages of Vogue.
