Okay, so I’ve been totally obsessed with recreating that iconic 90s Kate Moss look lately. You know, the minimalist, effortlessly cool vibe? I finally decided to just go for it and document the whole process. Here’s how it went down:
The Research Phase (aka Pinterest Deep Dive)
First, I spent, like, hours scrolling through Pinterest. Seriously, I fell down a rabbit hole of vintage Kate Moss photos. I needed to really understand the key elements. It’s all about that “I just threw this on” look, even though, let’s be real, it probably took some effort.
Gathering the Goods
Next, I raided my closet. Luckily, I already had a few pieces that were perfect. I pulled out:
- A basic black slip dress – crucial!
- A slightly oversized black blazer.
- My trusty black ankle boots.
- Very, Very, minimal jewlery.
I did realize I was missing a key component: that perfectly “undone” hair texture. So, I took a trip to get some suitable hair product.
The “Getting Ready” Part
The Makeup (or Lack Thereof): This was the fun part. I kept the makeup super minimal. Basically, I just:
- Used a tinted moisturizer for a natural, dewy base.
- Brushed up my eyebrows.
- Added a tiny bit of brown mascara.
- Dabbed on some nude-ish lipstick. Done!
The Hair Struggle: Okay, the hair was the trickiest part. I have naturally straight hair, so getting that slightly messy, textured wave took some work. I used a texturizing spray and sort of scrunched it up while blow-drying. It wasn’t perfect, but it got the general idea across.
The Final Look
I put it all together, and… I think I kinda nailed it! It felt very 90s, very Kate Moss, but still me. It’s amazing how a few simple pieces and some strategic styling can totally transform a look. I wore it to a coffee with my friends, and they gave good comments!
I might try this again with different variations. Maybe a different slip dress, or even try it with jeans and a white tee. The possibilities are endless!
