Throughout the 90s female vocalists carried the fashion game on their shoulders. Taking risks on red carpets, using a personal flare to express themselves during live performances, and cementing legendary moments…these are just a few of our favorite iconic Popstar looks from the 90s. From Destiny’s Child to Celine Dion, it's hard to choose just one favorite.
Although we can’t wear all the clothes that our favorite 90s Popstars wore, we can revisit their music. Audacy’s The 90s exclusive station takes you back to the decade where brown lip liner was a thing, Britney Spears’ star was rising, and Alanis Morissette reigned supreme.

How could we not start with the Spice Girls? When someone says 90s Pop Star our minds instantly go to Posh, Sporty, Baby, Scary, and Ginger. Defining 90s fashion either through sleek, square-necked, mini dresses and strappy sandals… or in Adidas track pants and sports bras, the Spice Girls are the pinnacle of the “90s look.”

It’s the mesh sleeves for us. Whether in overalls, a mesh top, or rocking classic brown lipstick… Brandy’s sense of style in the 1990s was picture perfect. The singer continues to be at the height of fashion.
Alanis Morissette
The long hair, long skirts, and baggy t-shirts defined the grungy singer-songwriter aesthetic of the 90s… and nobody did it better than Alanis Morissette.

It’s no exaggeration when we say that Britney literally defined what it is to be a teen Popstar. And of course, with her far-reaching influences, this means that Brit also defined the way Popstars dress. Tube tops, lip gloss, miniskirts, and a dash of glitter… Britney will always be our inspo.

Not only has Ms. Lauryn Hill’s indelible mark on music inspired the lives of many, but the artist’s fashion evolution has also been beloved by many. Hill stands as a pillar of the 90s look…. the power blazer says it all.

Selena Quintanilla was pique 90s glamour. The singer personified elegance and although she was wearing trendy 90s fashion she made everything feel timeless.
Céline Dion

Céline Dion has leveraged her impeccable taste and style into a lifetime of iconic looks. In the 90s the singer was sporting Halston dresses and donning Versace at its height. Today the world-renowned singer still stuns in streetwear and couture.
Kylie Minogue

Every look Kylie Minogue dons should be considered a moment in fashion history. Whether in basics, like a silk blouse, or drenched in silver sparkles the “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” singer was just heating up in the 90s.
Destiny's Child

Girl group realness. Destiny’s Child took co-ords and matching ensembles to new heights. Oftentimes appearing on red carpets in the same exact look, the group knew how to brand themselves through their fashion choices and created a Destiny’s Child identity through their look. We have to say, the tasseled crop top and tasseled choker combo on Kelly Rowland is a serve.
