## 1985

Cher here is with "French designer Claude Montana," which I keep conflating into "French Montana," even though that is a totally different dude. I feel like Elvira aspired to this hair and never got there.

## 1987: Linda Gray

I was not expecting a bejeweled turtleneck ode to Lucky Charms today, and I REALLY wasn't expecting it to end in harem pants.

## 1988: Anna Wintour

Anna would wear this now, I think.

## 1989: Audrey Hepburn

AND LO. Audrey Hepburn is here and she looks like the living legend she was. (I don't think feathers were quite the touchpoint in 1989 that they are now, so I'm going to let her have this one, 31 years hence.) Someone once told me, "You look like something exotic, like you'd find in a New Zealand zoo," and as pickup lines go it's atrocious (and maybe not even nice, and also I am clearly bland?), but damned if that didn't come to mind when I saw her here.

## 1989: Liza with Oscar de la Renta

And Liza looks super, and glowy, and I assume is wearing Oscar. Her smile really is quite incandescent. 

## 1989: Betsey Johnson

Betsey looks basically EXACTLY like this, still. That is a consistent personal brand.

## 1989: Anna

Speaking of people with clung-to personal brands.

## 1990: Cindy Crawford

Kaia Gerber really DOES look astonishingly like her mother, though I know which model I'd pick in a motherf'ing walk-off.

## 1991: Anna

## 1991: Liza

Now we are getting into the Liza years where she wore stuff best classified as both "snazzy" and "jazzy."

## 1991: Lauren Hutton

Is she attempting to wear blue-grey tights that match her outfit, and it's just... not working? Also she's totally wearing bermuda shorts under this.

## 1992: Joan Rivers

I tip my hat to Joan, but this is legit a 16-year old's prom dress from 1988, right?

## 1993: Liam Neeson and Drew Barrymore

She was only 18 here so hopefully this was just a nice photo op.

## 1993: Karl and Anna

Karl: Anna. The fates have spoken. Someday Brad Pitt or a chap named Jemaine Clement will play me in a movie of my life. EMOTE. Anna: Um.... KARL: The tarot, like the sole of a Louboutin, does not lie.

## 1993: Marc Jacobs and Tatum O'Neal

Hmm.

## 1994: SJP

If the point was to wear such a nothing of a slip dress that we all fixate on her arms, well, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

## 1993: Cher

Why has someone made Cher look like a retired clown?

## 1993: Linda Evangelista and Kyle MacLachlan

Linda, I have notes, and concerns.

## 1994: Iman and Bowie

Her face is BEYOND.

This is an ENORMOUS commitment to pattern here. Do we think that's Kate Spade? It sure feels like it should be.

## 1994: Tyra

Well, it's not bad.

Okay, now it is Kyle for whom I have notes. Those are satin lounging pajamas, sir, are they not?

## 1994: Todd Oldham and Rosie O'Donnell

"I am concerned that I, too, am wearing pajamas."

## 1994: Claudia Schiffer

Claudia, NO! Resist! (Narrator: Coming up next, she didn't resist, as we'll see in the next post.)

## 1994: Anna

Those seem to have been Anna's go-to shoe of choice of this era. She really does pick ONE pair and stick with it for like ten years.

## 1994: k.d. lang

Meanwhile, k.d. looks casually cool as hell in this. I wish they'd gotten a better shot of her standing up.
