Many of us would cringe at what we wore in the '90s, but not Kate Moss. Her career skyrocketed in that decade and she certainly dressed the part, looking impossibly cool whether she was on the red carpet or at the airport. Although her style has evolved over the years, she has kept one wardrobe element consistent: ballet flats.
I did some digging and found one particularly chic example of how Moss wore the shoe trend in the '90s. In 1995, she was photographed at a Calvin Klein event in a simple black sweater, white mini skirt, and ballet flats. Cut to 2020, and Moss is still wearing ballet flats with skirts—but the hemlines are a tad longer. Scroll down to see how Kate Moss has worn ballet flats and shop our favorite pairs.
Pictured here at just 21 years old, Kate Moss was already climbing the fashion industry ranks in 1995. I would eagerly recreate this minimalist outfit today.
This week, Kate Moss wore her signature ballet flats with a leather skirt and army jacket, proving that the shoe staple's popularity will never fade.
