Retrospect is a crazy thing. At the time, no one in the ‘90s thought twice about brick-brown lipstick, spindly brows, over-gelled curls and heavy, unstyled, straight hair on the red carpet. These things weren’t “so ‘90s” then—they were simply what you did to look pretty. And heck, if Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Love Hewitt endorsed something, you knew it was the real deal. Years later, the defining beauty looks of the decade seem so distinctly dated as to be unfathomable. If you’re not sure what we mean, keep scrolling to see some truly mind blowing red carpet photos from the ‘90s.
