Why today's young stars are all borrowing supermodel Claudia Schiffer's iconic 90s style
, Elsa Hosk, and Dua Lipa are among the A-listers who have drawn style inspiration from a true Nineties catwalk icon.
From blinging bikinis to retro Versace prints and sheer dresses with giant corsage hairpieces, as well as vintage Chanel, it's fair to say these looks have stood the test of time.
But rather than be annoyed that her looks are being emulated, supermodel Claudia Schiffer is delighted that her fashion choices are providing such inspiration - and they have proven to be a rousing success.
But who wore it best?
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner showed off her incredible figure in the same glamorous bikini Claudia Schiffer wore more than 30 years ago.
The 27-year-old paid nearly $14,000 for the gem-encrusted two piece from Chanel which the now-54-year-old modeled in 1995.
Captioning her Instagram post, 'No place i'd rather beeee', Kylie showed off her jaw-dropping physique while vacationing in Turks and Caicos.
In an Instagram post of her own on Wednesday, Claudia revealed that she had first wowed in that very bikini for luxury brand Chanel all the way back in the mid-90s.
Sharing snaps of both her younger self and Kylie sporting the look, the 54-year-old model wrote: '@KylieJenner sparkling in this stunning bikini I wore on the @Chanel Official spring '95 runway.'
Kylie is far from the first of the famous Jenner/Kardashian family to lift a look from Claudia's impressive back catalog - the German has previously singled out Kylie's older sister Kim for the way she interpreted one of her looks.
Elsa Hosk
Fellow model Elsa Hosk paid homage to Claudia at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
The Swedish model, 36, arrived on the red carpet in a black bodycon gown by Mugler, which Claudia wore in 1995.
Just like Claudia did in the nineties, Elsa teamed the glamorous look with pearl necklaces and flower clips in her hair.
Even Claudia was impressed by Elsa's recreation of her look as she took to Instagram to praise the 'beautiful' model.
Claudia wrote: 'The archival looks at @festivaldecannes just keep coming! The beautiful @hoskelsa wearing a @muglerofficial gown I wore on the Fall/Winter 1995 runway.'
Elsa wrote in the comments: 'You're always the inspiration. Icon forever.'
Ariana Greenblatt
Also channeling Claudia during Cannes Film Festival in May was Ariana Greenblatt.
The 17-year-old wore an archival Karl Lagerfeld–era Chanel corset that Claudia debuted in 1993.
The chic look - which is exactly 15 years older than Ariana - paid homage to Claudia.
Impressed by her ensemble, Claudia wrote on Instagram: 'Love seeing this look have a second life! @Ariana_Greenblatt looking fabulous in the corset I wore on the @ChanelOfficial Spring '93 runway'
Sabrina Carpenter and Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway looked captivating in a green Versace gown in 2023 that Claudia debuted on the runway during Milan Fashion Week just days earlier -with matching silver accessories.
The actress completed the look with a pair of chrome pointed-toe heels with bows.
While the dress wasn't one of Claudia's archival looks from the nineties, it certainly went down a hit with Anne and Sabrina Carpenter after they both copied the look.
Sabrina rocked Claudia's Versace look with an added twist as she took to the stage during her tour in 2024.
The pop star opted to turn the dress into a mini version for her performance.
Claudia shared a photo of the singer on her Instagram Stories and wrote: 'Love to see this dress living so many lives!
'@SabrinaCarpenter you wear it well.'
Dua Lipa
White hot: Dua Lipa arrived at the 2023 Met Gala in Claudia's vintage Chanel gown paired with a 225-carat diamond necklace
Dua Lipa radiated the energy of a princess as she wore a vintage Chanel gown, previously modeled by Claudia, to the 2023 Met Gala.
The 27-year-old was stunning in Chanel FW92 Couture, styled by Lorenzo Posocco - originally worn by Claudia in 1992.
The singer's stunning tweed ballgown - designed by Karl Lagerfeld himself - was embellished with black and white detailing, and completed with tassels at the bottom.
The tight bodice and puffed-out skirt emphasized her tiny waist and added to the elegant look.
Claudia wrote on Instagram: 'I always love seeing these special looks live a second life @dualipa @chanelofficial.'

Telling detail in Kylie Jenner's group chat text with Hailey Bieber amid marriage crisis
Kylie Jenner took to Instagram on Friday to share a rare glimpse at her group chat including close friend Hailey Bieber. The 27-year-old mogul revealed the name she has the model, 28, saved as when she posted a screenshot of a text thread labeled 'Love Island.' Hailey's contact card is missing her Bieber surname and simply reads, 'Hailey Rhode,' her first and middle names. The Rhode skincare founder has been married to troubled pop star Justin Bieber since 2018 and they share a nearly-one-year old son, Jack Blues. It comes amid rumors of marriage woes between the Biebers as the singer has displayed worrisome behavior in recent months. Kylie captioned her Instagram Stories post featuring the text exchange, 'the group chat when not everyone has watched the latest episode.' The 27-year-old mogul revealed the name she has the model, 28, saved as when she posted a screenshot of a text thread labeled 'Love Island' Hailey's contact card is missing her Bieber surname and simply reads, 'Hailey Rhode,' her first and middle names The excerpts from her friends where sent in invisible ink, so as not to reveal any unwanted Love Island spoilers. Included in the exclusive thread were other friends saved under 'Victoria Princess,' 'Sydney,' and 'Devon Carlson.' Hailey contributed multiple messages, proving she had a lot to say about the popular Peacock reality dating series. 'Justin's been a hard person to deal with recently because of what he's going through,' a source dished to Us Weekly earlier this week. 'It's been really hard on her.' The person added: 'Family issues have clouded her success.' 'Justin's going through a difficult time, and Hailey is giving him room to get himself back on track. He's doing his best, but it's tough,' a second source told the outlet. The second insider claimed the pair have been enduring more 'ups and downs' than usual and 'things have been very tense in the last month.' 'Hailey's worried about Justin, especially with a [baby at home]. He hasn't been down like this in quite some time, so there's concern,' it was revealed. As Justin continues to spark concern online over his bizarre social media posts, Hailey is said to feel frustrated over his 'loose cannon' antics. But, ultimately, the person close to the couple said: 'She knows that's part of the industry and who she's married to.' 'They don't talk about divorce,' the first source insisted. The second insider confirmed the odds of them calling it quits 'are very slim, especially because of their faith.' 'Faith is a big part of their life,' the source said. 'They believe they are soulmates and meant for each other.'

Kylie Jenner risks wrath of Lauren Sanchez after breaking every wedding's most important rule
The Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding seems to be one for the ages after A-list celebrities descended on Venice to witness the couple's nuptials across the multi-day event. For the general public, it has turned into a European Met Gala - giving everyone the chance to judge celebs' ensembles. One person who found herself thrust into the spotlight is none other than Kylie Jenner. Because the 27-year-old business woman and social media personality seems to have missed one of the most important wedding memos of all - don't wear white. Jenner was photographed being helped onto a water taxi as she headed to the ceremony while wearing a white, corseted gown. The plunging ensemble, which left her ample assets on full display, boasted little black bows on the straps. Kylie risked Lauren's wrath with the bold choice since traditionally, white is the color reserved for the bride - and guests are usually urged to steer clear in order to avoid confusion or steal the spotlight. Fans on social media also voiced their concern at the fashion faux pas as one wrote: 'I see a bride.' 'Hanging your b**bs out at a wedding is another no, no,' another fan commented about Jenner's plunging neckline. 'These people are such attention seekers - it's quite gross to see the vanity on show.' Just moments earlier, Bezos was spotted heading to his $20 million Venetian wedding ceremony, donning a tuxedo and huge grin. He emerged from his hotel about an hour after Sanchez made her first appearance of the day as the pair prepare to celebrate in front of a dazzling array of star-studded guests. Sanchez was pictured leaving the five star Aman hotel before making her way to San Giorgio Maggiore island where she will exchange vows with the billionaire tech mogul. Guests arriving at the luxurious affair were greeted to the sounds of trumpets, violins and a Gospel Choir. Some of the A-List stars attending the wedding have started arriving too. Oprah Winfrey and Usher are among stars who've traveled to the private island by water to watch the romantic nuptials take place. Described as the 'wedding of a century', the 61-year-old Amazon founder and one of the world's richest men and his bride-to-be, 55, have welcomed nearly 200 VIPs to Venice for three days of lavish celebrations. Bezos was seen grinning in a tuxedo Last night it was revealed Bezos and Sanchez have already married legally ahead of today's ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island. It came as guests including Jenner were forced to take cover from a freak thunderstorm during the couple's pre-wedding party inside the historic Madonna dell'Orto cloisters. A-listers Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom jetted in to Italy earlier this week for the nuptials which come two years after Bezos asked Sanchez to marry him on his $500 million superyacht. But preparations for the couple's big day have been far from plain sailing with protestors planning to disrupt the celebrations, even forcing a late venue change.
