Welcome to Libra season — a time for not only balance, but harmony and beauty. Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and love, making it a perfect time to shift focus on style, an appreciation for art and personal appearance.
With ‘90s fashion trending on, we’re looking at the style icons of their time and celebrating their influence on pop culture. Let’s indulge in some nostalgia and get inspired by these ‘90s fashion icons, based on their actual zodiac signs.

Aries: Sarah Michelle Gellar
Let’s be honest, Sarah Michelle Gellar may not have been the most memorable on the red carpets — but Buffy Summers made a fashion statement every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. From rocking red leather pants to adorable baggy overalls to nailing the sunglasses style of the decade and beyond, Buffy’s outfits were a vibe every time viewers tuned in to the cult classic television series.
Other notable ‘90s Aries fashion icons:
Sarah Jessica Parker, Reese Witherspoon, Shannon Doherty (never forget Brenda Walsh), Claire Danes, Cynthia Nixon, Natasha Lyonne

Taurus: Janet Jackson
Following her “Rhythm Nation” days, she established herself as an early-90s fashion icon through music videos and public appearances sporting styles that were all sexy bustiers and the exact right denim. She also owned a signature menswear look, leaned into the social trends of the time and nailed her outfits on and off sets of music videos and movies such as Poetic Justice (remember when she played Tupac’s love interest?) This fashionable Taurus represents her sign well as it’s also ruled by Venus — making folks born under the sign naturally good at aesthetics.
Other notable ‘90s Taurus fashion icons:
Renee Zellweger, Jessica Alba, Uma Thurman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kirsten Dunst, Cate Blanchett, Tori Spelling

Gemini: Alanis Morissette
With one hand in her pocket and the other on a slouchy staple paired with a leather pant or something of the like, the Canadian rocker rebranded from pop princess (remember that music video with Matt LeBlanc?) — and traded in her big curls and hoop earrings for waist-length, unbrushed hair that became a signature look. She did men’s button-ups, red beanies, sheer lace and slip dresses right.
Other notable ‘90s Gemini fashion icons:
Heidi Klum, Angelina Jolie, Natalie Portman, Gina Gershon, Courtney Cox, Helen Hunt, Leah Remini, Paula AbdulRelated: Alanis Morissette's style evolution.

Cancer: Courtney Love
The master of messy done right, Courtney Love helped bump grunge fashion right into the mainstream — making slip dresses and witchy velvet wardrobe staples for edgy femmes all over. Let’s be honest, Love was anything but wilted and faded somewhere in Hollywood — in fact, her epic style choices are still Pinterest pins to this day.
Other notable ‘90s Cancer fashion icons:
Nicole Kidman, Lindsay Lohan, Angelica Huston

Leo: JLo
There’s no doubt that Jenny from the Block was a trendsetter in the ‘90s. This triple-threat talent was all about the matching sets, sexy two-pieces with a sportier vibe and unafraid of colour. She wowed audiences in film, on the red carpet and on stage with her iconic outfit picks. Before she got big into terrible rom coms, Jennifer Lopez was making hits singing about how her love don’t cost a thing.
Other notable ‘90s Leo fashion icons:
Charisma Carpenter, Mila Kunis, Elizabeth Berkley, Sandra Bullock, Lisa Kudrow, Hilary Swank, Whitney HoustonSee also: JLo’s style evolution.

Virgo: Cameron Diaz
Slip dresses and kitten heels, classic staples and stylish pairings of everyday pieces like oversized blazers, crew neck tees, high-waisted skirts are what make The Mask actress an underrated fashion inspiration. Her ‘90s vibe was like your friend’s well-dressed cool older sister with a wardrobe you just wanted to get in on.
Other notable ‘90s Virgo fashion icons:
Beyonce, Macy Gray, Michelle Williams, Fiona Apple, Alexis Bledel, Asia Argento

Libra: Gwen Stefani
Back when Gwen Stefani was fronting No Doubt, the singer experimented with pieces and looks that would tie together elements from Hollywood glam to ‘80’s punk and beyond. Stefani didn’t submit to fashion trends — rather, she stayed true to her creative, quirky-styled self and set the trends instead. Of course, it should be noted not every bold look was a hit — the ‘Don’t Speak’ singer busted out many problematic fashion statements that doubled as big moments of cultural appropriation. She leaves both legacies behind — and love her or hate her, it’s undeniable she remains a fashion icon.
Other notable ‘90s Libra fashion icons:
Joan Jett, Catherine Zeta Jones, Heather Locklear, Clea DuVall, Avril Lavigne, Jenna Elfman, Rachel Leigh Cook, Alicia Silverstone, Kate Winslet

Scorpio: Julia Roberts
Though most famous for her thousand-watt smile, Julia Roberts made fashion history in pop culture both on-screen and off. From red carpet choices like Giorgio Armani to the outfits of her iconic characters from hit movies like Pretty Woman or Notting Hill, this rom com leading lady left us with fashion inspiration that would live on long after the end credits of her films.
Other notable 90’s Scorpio fashion icons:
K.D. Lang, Calista Flockhart, Anne Hathaway, Whoopi Goldberg, Meg Ryan, Jodie Foster, Ming-Na Wen, Winona RyderYou may also like: 10 best rom coms to make your partner watch with you.

Sagittarius: Lucy Liu
A rare Asian in pop culture, Lucy Liu brought laughs and fashion moments to the screen in Ally McBeal back in the ‘90’s. Whether she was radiating elegance on a red carpet or leaning into the individuality of her quirky character in David E. Kelley’s series, Liu brought many memorable looks that influenced the everyday fashion of women of the decade.

Christina Applegate, Amy Grant, Tina Turner, Anna Faris, Elisha Cuthbert, Zoe Kravitz, Britney Spears, Anna Chlumsky, Tyra Banks, Marisa Tomei, Margaret Cho, Teri Hatcher, Raven-Symone

Capricorn: Aaliyah
The young R&B artist was all sassy oversized looks, athleisure before we had a name for it and thigh-high slit gowns. A tragic early loss for the world, Aaliyah left behind a fashion legacy of the perfect balance between the masculine and feminine — and a sudden desire to sport a bra as a fitted crop top.
Other notable ‘90’s Capricorn fashion icons:
Kate Moss

Aquarius: Brandy
Let’s talk printed jeans, shimmering tights, baggy overalls, all-white outfits and everything Brandy. The Moesha actress brought good fashion to the screen and left us with fashion inspiration on red carpets and awards shows. Never forget that short black dress with that epic silk train that followed her around at the 1998 VMAs.
Other notable ‘90’s Aquarius fashion icons:
Geena Davis, Mischa Barton, Ellen DeGeneres, Natalie Imbruglia, Kelly Rowland, Christina Ricci, Jennifer Aniston

Pisces: Drew Barrymore
Back in the '90's, celebrity fish Drew Barrymore was an "It Girl" and known for her sweet style. From indulging in the grunge trend to goth lite, the actress was all boots (that looked actually walked-in), leather and daisy choker chains. The fashion industry was all about it and brands such as Guess and Miu Miu borrowed her face and good natural style for various campaigns throughout the early and mid '90's. Like a true Pisces, she was all about the individuality and expressed herself through fashion.
Other notable '90's Pisces fashion icons:
Kristin Davis, Jessica Biel, Laura Prepon, Freddie Prinze Jr., James Van Der Beek, Lisa Loeb
