Better together: Fashion Power Couples of the Nineties
By Sasha Wayman
The 1990s was a decade rich with some of fashion’s greatest moments. But even more powerful than one show-stopping red carpet look is two. Not only was this period marked with iconic fashion, but couples whose style was even more iconic together. Here are some of fashion’s greatest power couples of the 1990s:
Johnny Depp and Kate Moss
Back in the day, these two were the ultimate power couple. They were young, beautiful, in love, and stylish. The pair often went out in matching outfits, sealing their love with pure drip, rather than a kiss.
Madonna and Vanilla Ice
These two were not only one hell of a musical duo, but a couple with insane style. They simultaneously dominated the media, music industry, and fashion all at once. Ice ice baby!
David and Victoria Beckham
One of the most fashionable (and famous) couples of all time, David and Victoria Beckham rarely disappointed with their designer duds. Looking straight out of a catalogue, this pair was, and still remains, always ready for a photo op- even as they rush through an airport!
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith commenced their long love affair in 1994, and the two have ruled the world since. While they’ve had their fair share of “entanglements”, the couple has not only remained committed to one another, but their responsibility as fashion icons. Black love at its finest!
Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow
These two have always kept it California cool. Between Brad’s preppy sweater vest, Gwyn’s flowy white dress, and the pair’s matching sunglasses, this couple is the blueprint for laid back fashion.
Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise
Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were, in a word, elegant. They were the cinematic couple of the 1990s, taking their love from their hit movie, Eyes Wide Shut, and making it into a reality.
Jennifer Lopez and P. Diddy
While P. Diddy, I mean Puff Daddy, I mean Diddy has changed his names more times than we can count, his style has remained impeccable. And while both Sean Combs and Jennifer Lopez were fashion icons in their own right, they were more powerful together back in their day.
The 1990s were a critical moment in fashion history. And while individual looks are often praised for their contribution to one of fashion’s biggest decades, it is clear that the fashion of the 90s was supported by pop culture’s most relevant couples.
