I hope you aren't fatigued by award season because we still have plenty of sure-to-be-amazing red carpets coming up. This weekend, we have an exciting doubleheader: February 24 is the SAG Awards, and February 25 is the Film Independent Spirit Awards. The latter event is now in its 39th year, meaning there was a treasure trove of archival images to sort through for this story. Before I get to all the '90s gems I found, allow me to outline everything you need to know about this year's ceremony. It will be hosted by Aidy Bryant and will be streaming live this Sunday at 2 p.m. PST on Film Independent's YouTube channel as well as IMDb's YouTube channel. Additionally,Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing will be reporting live from the red carpet on our Instagram and TikTok accounts.

Now that that's out of the way, let's take a walk down memory lane, shall we? I uncovered some iconic '90s images from the event, including photos of Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Brad Pitt, Farrah Fawcett, Janet Jackson, Cameron Diaz, and more. Scroll down to revisit my favorite '90s photos from the Film Independent Spirit Awards.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
