This is what 'skinny' was in the 90s. The 'heroin chic' wasn't just about 'skinny' also about grunge, shadows under the eyes and hollow cheeks. Kate Moss had a slight build and excellent facial structure that, with a little makeup, could be transformed into 'heroin chic'. You could do the same thing to Twiggy from the 70s. Heroin chic is far more descriptive of today's fashion standards (Kaia Gerber comes to mind). Look how many celebrity women can't get a designer dress for the red carpet. https://people.com/style/celebrities-who-designers-wont-dress/

Guy here. Kate was hot then (and clearly had hips here) and she’s not now. I think this is a lot of women analyzing here. Plus, people don’t like to admit it, but the smoking anc sexy look added to her total hotness. |
| I meant she’s HOT now. Not hot then and not now! |
Kendall Jenner? On a list with the greats? Come on. (Gigi Hadid isn’t a great yet, but she at least has the raw talent instead of Kendall’s dead eyes). |
Sure she got lucky , in the same way Barack Obama got lucky, in the same way anyone “gets lucky.” She was the look of the day although let’s be honest, they look is still hugely popular. A Kim kardashian will eventually go out of fashion too. It’s not like women are making progress. It’s just replacing one body type (and usually by a girl around 25) by another to obsess over and objectify. |
Kate was and IS iconic. Unlike the rest of the list. |
Exactly. Kate Moss had an extremely feminine face and body, among other qualities that made her one of the most successful models of all times.
|
| She is iconic IMO. She's on the greats list with Cindy, Naomi, Beverly, etc list. I do think Kendall was also go down as a legendary model though. She encapsulates 2019 as much as Kate does 1996. Everyone has their own era. |
You are talking about hips as if they are supposed to be bags of fat that women carry around, even if they are just 20 years old. Do you realize that a hip is actually a bone? And that Kate Moss has a perfect waist-to-hip ratio? And most men (and women) find that attractive. |
Maybe it was groundbreaking for you, Tyra, American TV and commercial modeling. Nobody really cared in Europe. Tyra always wants to make it sound she's special, but Beverly Johnson was doing it long before her. |
I yet have to meet a guy who doesn't think she's hot. Love her, and I'm a woman. |
Yes. These people who say her look was for her “times” etc and that she has no hips seem to be jealous women. She’s lovely and has the right curves and has a sexy and dangerous appeal. I’d love to party and run out to buy her cigarettes at 3am if she wanted to stay up and drink all night and even just listen to great music. |
| My favorite model of all time. Her bone structure is exquisite. She is insanely photogenic — mesmerizing. I also love her style, but realize it is not for everyone. |
Another woman who thinks she was smoking hot at 16 and now at 46 or whatever she is. |
You mean white guy here right? You mean white guy who still believes they didn’t photoshop her waist in to make he look like she has hips. Dude you are pathetic... if u are a dude.. |
