Sorry 2026, but the '90s excelled at spring dressing—here are 5 celebrity outfits I'm inspired to recreate now.

      There’s a distinct pleasure in seeing '90s fashion dominate today’s styles, especially for someone who experienced it firsthand. This ongoing revival has only deepened my appreciation for what made '90s fashion so remarkable. Getting dressed back then was wonderfully effortless. For me, it meant donning dungarees, brightly colored t-shirts, and pedal pushers (a rather flamboyant name from that time). I recall fashion icons from that era sporting outfits that seemed both stylish and accessible, with certain looks proving to be timeless. Consider Princess Diana's revenge dress, Kate Moss's sheer slip, and nearly everything worn by Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, and Lisa Kudrow on and off the set of Friends.

      As a new season approaches, it’s tempting to get swept up in microtrends and social media hauls for inspiration, but I want to remind you that the '90s offer ample ideas to refresh your wardrobe for spring. I’ve explored the archives to see how some of our favorite '90s celebrities dressed for the season, and with so many current trends rooted in that era, their outfits feel incredibly relevant today. From understated tailoring to effortlessly casual looks, these are the outfits I'll be referencing this season. Read on to discover which celebrities excelled in spring fashion, and how you can shop their styles.

       **Style Notes:** Spring serves as a transition period, and given the current weather, it’s clear that sunshine isn’t always guaranteed. So, knitwear remains crucial in your spring wardrobe. Take a cue from Gwyneth Paltrow and experiment with lighter knitwear silhouettes, like short-sleeve t-shirts or sleeveless rollnecks. These styles allow for versatile layering while looking chic on their own.
