At 14 she was more beautiful because she looked normal instead of extremely thin


She's been a model for as long as I've been noticing clothes - decades now - and she was known for her "heroin chic" when she was young. = extremely skinny. That's when heroin was thought to have a chic (I guess? Things were weird in the 90s) as opposed to now when it's thought of as what people turn to when they can't get their other opioids anymore. But Kate's been there through it all.




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.

The really beautiful models -
Claudia Schieffer
Helena Christensen
Christie Brinkley
Cindi Crawford
Linda Evanglista
Naomi Campbell
Tyra Banks
Gigi Hadid
Kendall Jenner
Paulina Paurizkova


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).

Her appeal was about a lot more than her face and body, it had to do with a whole look that she created, and I had to do with the values of the time. She was extremely skinny, but people saying she had no hips are really wrong. If you look at pictures of her in a bikini, she has a classic female figure, she absolutely has curves. I think female models today are a lot healthier for women to obsess over, because we don’t have to starve ourselves as much, but I also think Kate was incredibly sexy and that she had an it girl quality that made her one of the best of the best. Naomi was awesome too ( although she seems like an awful person in real life) , Not sure why people have to make this into a black versus white thing. Also, as a white woman sitting here on my fat ass, I’m tired of hearing this constant thing about skinny white women, and full figured black women. We all have different body types you know.


But she got lucky. It was timing.

Today she would not be such a big deal.

It’s not DCUM saying she has no hips... she has no hips, she has a boy body. That is how the industry describes her.

There is no hate for skinny white women it’s just that now most people don’t find that attractive. Many people prefer a Sofia V.


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.

Back in the days when Kate moss was a model the only definition of beauty was skinny white no hips


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.

You do have to realize that when Kate moss was a model it was the biggest deal in the world to have Tyra Banks actually on the front of sports illustrated it was groundbreaking.


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.
