We love ’90s fashion—and so do our favorite celebrities, who have been embracing a minimalist, nostalgic mood inspired by the decade within their off-duty wardrobes as of late. The Internet’s been buzzing since Love Story reintroduced CBK-coded fashion back into the style vernacular—but even before the series premiered, fashion’s love for the pared-back style of the decade has seen momentum. Some celebs, like Zoë Kravitz and Kendall Jenner, have always embraced the simplicity within their off-duty looks—for others, it’s become a more recent shift; regardless, we’re taking notes for summer.
The Minimalist ’90s Checklist:
Trending pieces like poplin cargo pants have been spotted on Jennifer Lawerence, reintroduced by cult contemporary brands like Leset and Deiji Studios, heralding back to the pairs Jennifer Aniston wore throughout the decade, often styled with simple tank tops and platform flip-flops. Little black dresses never lost their clout—but are certainly seeing a revival within today’s wardrobes, thanks in part to the clean girl aesthetic, fronted by Hailey Bieber. Tank dresses reminiscent of the LBDs sported by many models during the era, such as Naomi Campbell to Kate Moss, are finding a place in the modern rotation, accessorized with micro shoulder bags or sleek clutches and simple jewelry.
Bella Hadid has also been trading her urban cowgirl mood for something more minimal, spotted this past Fashion Month wearing a leather jacket, white baby tee, and bootcut jeans, incorporating true vintage pieces into the mix directly from the decade. This style shift proves the lasting pull of a streamlined uniform—certainly inspired by the “Big Six” supermodels and other era-defining figures, like Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder, who wore this effortlessly cool combination day in and day out—and remain the reference points that continue to shape how minimalist dressing resonates today.
Whether you crave something quirkier—like Olivia Rodrigo’s penchant for plaid, an ode to Miuccia Prada’s signature print—or prefer to dabble in grunge à la Chloë Sevigny, we’ve pulled together all the best outfits in one place. Ahead, shop the ‘90s minimalist outfits celebs can’t get enough of right now.
The Reworked Cargo
Among the many trending pieces to see a revival, poplin cargo pants have been reintroduced by cult contemporary brands like Leset and Deiji Studios. Spotted recently on Jennifer Lawerence, the actress styled a crisp white pair with an oversized navy crewneck sweater, suede slip-on shoes, and a turquoise puka shell necklace. The look carries the same ease Jennifer Aniston embodied throughout the ’90s, who often styled similar pants with simple tank tops and platform flip-flops.
The Exalted Little Black Dress
Little black dresses have never lost their clout—but are certainly seeing a revival within today’s best-dressed wardrobes, thanks in part to the clean girl aesthetic fronted by Hailey Bieber. The entrepreneur favors all-black looks, relying on tank dresses reminiscent of the LBDs sported by the era’s supermodels, like Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. Often accessorizing with heeled thong sandals, here she also added a sleek croc-embossed clutch, simple jewelry, and skinny sunglasses—an effortless outfit for date night and beyond.
Neutrals, Always
Zoë Kravitz is often spotted layering up in neutrals—a palette that defined a generation of minimalist designers, from Jil Sander to Calvin Klein. While in London, the actress leaned into trench coat dressing, wearing her classic coat with softer silhouettes underneath—a cream-colored top, chocolate brown trousers, and matching suede loafers (note the similarly toned socks!), offering a masterclass in understated simplicity while on-the-go. It’s a blueprint that worked then, and still does today.
Go Grunge
Chloë Sevigny was the poster child for ’90s fashion, and continues to inject pieces from the decade into her current looks. Recently spotted in New York City, the actress paired an oversized T-shirt with a lace-trimmed slip skirt, channeling a touch of grunge with chunky T-strap shoes. She added a bucket bag from Dario Vitale’s first and only Versace spring/summer 2026 show, a collection peppered with archival nostalgia, with denim jacket in tow. Although a little bolder and more playful, the streamlined shapes still feel entirely in tune with the mood.
Relaxed Basics
While touching down in Saint-Tropez, Margot Robbie traded Wuthering Heights method dressing for something more relaxed and ‘90s-inspired. Pulling from the Dawson’s Creek playbook, she mixed textures with a leather jacket, simple knit, and baggy jeans—something Joey would have certainly worn (whose wardrobe was stocked with similar silhouettes from J.Crew and Gap). A denim bucket hat, suede loafers, and a canvas tote bag complete the look with a similar laid-back feel.
Minimalist Ease
Kendall Jenner is a tried-and-true minimalist, often embracing the simplicity of the decade within her everyday wardrobe. For a recent dinner out in Los Angeles, the supermodel chose an open knit top, reminiscent of the fine gauge styles often prevalent throughout the collections of Calvin Klein or Helmut Lang. Paired with cigarette jeans in indigo (a classic denim staple from the decade), she infused a little modern flair with trending glove flats. A printed bandana head scarf and sleek thin sunglasses further nod to the accessories that defined the decade, which remain more than relevant today.
Black and White
While on a press tour for her latest film, Camila Morrone went for a classic black-and-white pairing, something we often saw on the runways of Narciso Rodriguez throughout the ’90s. The actress wore a creamy white strapless tube top with a tailored black pencil skirt—a direct nod to silhouettes synonymous with the era’s minimalist aesthetic. Heeled mules and a boxy bag are streamlined and sleek accessories that complete the look with a refined touch.
Pretty in Plaid
Olivia Rodrigo was seen in Los Angeles embracing plaid prints in a white baby tee and patterned Miu Miu skirt—a motif favored by Miuccia Prada in past collections and one she continues to revisit today. The singer put her own spin on the trend, with strappy patent Mary Janes in bold patent red, adding a vintage shoulder bag and oval sunnies into the mix, weaving the many nostalgic references together in a modern way; consider this an easy summer outfit.
Supermodel Standards
Bella Hadid proves the go-to ’90s uniform for supermodels off-duty still holds up today. A black leather blazer and a simple white T-shirt, paired with boot-cut denim is the essential formula that anyone can wear—and remains chic. Here, Hadid also leaned into the leopard trend with peep-toe pumps (a very nineties print!), while carrying the Loewe Amazona bag—a new shape that has quickly become the It-girl bag of the season, working in minimalist notes with modern edge.
