At Vanity Fair’s Oscars party, the nineties fashion trend made a notable comeback. Helena Christensen, at the age of 55, surprised fans by revealing that she wore a black and white gown from the archives that she first modeled on John Galliano’s spring/summer 1996 runway. The sculptural one-shoulder black-and-white gown looked stunning on Christensen, who shared photos of the outfit on Instagram.
Christensen’s famous friends couldn’t help but shower her with compliments on her fashion choice. Cindy Crawford expressed her admiration, calling Christensen a “Glamour puss,” while Gigi Hadid described her as “Gorrrrgeous.” Even fans marveled at the supermodel’s ageless appearance, with some questioning which photo was taken back in 1996. The consensus was clear – once a supermodel, always a supermodel.
Timeless Style Made Available
Fans of Christensen’s iconic look will be pleased to know that the same design is currently available for purchase at Tab Vintage, though it comes with a hefty price tag of $10,985. The fact that a twenty-five-year-old design could still turn heads at a star-studded event like Vanity Fair’s Oscars party speaks volumes about the timelessness of nineties fashion.
Christensen wasn’t the only one embracing nineties fashion at the afterparty. Margot Robbie channeled Barbie vibes in a golden Mugler bodysuit from 1996, showcasing her enviable long legs. Similarly, Sydney Sweeney opted for a vintage look by wearing the same slinky Marc Bouwer gown that Angelina Jolie donned at the Oscars in 2004. It seems that what’s old will always find a way to make a fashionable statement in the present day.
The revival of nineties fashion at Vanity Fair’s Oscars party proves that some styles never truly go out of fashion. From iconic runway looks making a comeback to celebrities donning vintage ensembles with panache, it’s clear that the allure of the nineties era remains as strong as ever in the world of high fashion.
