1990s Fashion Hits The Red Carpet - Movie Stars On Parade

It's somewhat hard to comment on fashion so close in time, normally it is only after many years that a trend can be acknowledged as more than just a passing fad. The 90s did see some major changes in how fashion was promoted though.

The advent of the internet took fashion to a global level in record time at the same time people lost interest in fashion as business rules for dressing relaxed. Working at home became common and dressing casual became the style.

Even though the range of retail 1990s fashion goods was huge, the retail sales were often sluggish. After the conspicuous consuming years of the 1980s less became more in the 1990s. But as always Hollywood played a big part in what was favoured when it came to clothing and hair styles.

Whether it was Jennifer Aniston and her often copied hairdo or the chop cut of Meg Ryan, hairstyles of the red carpet definitely influenced 1990s fashion. And as always, rock and roll had its sway with the younger red carpet crowd in the form of grunge wear and even Chuck Taylor's.

The red carpet 1990s fashion included everything from the classic blazer and trousers for everyone, to lycra, the petticoat dress and even Chinese cheongsam dresses. And lest we forget the return big time of cleavage and the Wonderbra.
