The Timeless Trend: How A-Listers Are Paying Homage to Claudia Schiffer’s Iconic 90s Style

The Fashion Icons of Our Time: Who's Copying Whom?

In a world where fashion trends come and go, it's not uncommon for celebrities to emulate iconic looks from past decades. But when it comes to supermodel Claudia Schiffer, her influence is simply unparalleled. The 54-year-old German model has been inspiring generations of fashionistas with her timeless style, and it seems like the A-listers are taking notice.

From Kylie Jenner to Maya Jama, Dua Lipa to Elsa Hosk, these celebrities have all been spotted rocking looks that were originally worn by Claudia Schiffer back in the 90s. And while some might view this as copying, Claudia is thrilled to see her fashion choices being emulated.

Kylie Jenner: A £10,000 Bikini

Take Kylie Jenner, for instance. The beauty mogul has splurged on a £10,000 gem-encrusted bikini from Chanel that was originally worn by Claudia in 1995. And the results are stunning! Kylie's Instagram post featuring her lounging on a sunbed in Turks and Caicos left fans drooling over her jaw-dropping physique.

But what's even more fascinating is that Claudia shared a photo of herself wearing the same bikini back in the day, captioning it: "Sparkling in this stunning bikini I wore on the @Chanel Official spring '95 runway." It's clear that Kylie has been given her seal of approval by the fashion icon herself.

Maya Jama: Channeling Claudia

Meanwhile, Maya Jama has also been spotted rocking a vintage Versace swimsuit that was originally worn by Claudia in 1992. The presenter looked sensational as she arrived at the Love Island villa on a luxurious superyacht, complete with a coordinated headband and huge gold earrings.

But what's interesting is that Maya revealed that she will be renting all of her outfits for this year's show to reduce waste and promote sustainability. Talk about being ahead of the curve!

Elsa Hosk: A Mugler Masterpiece

At the Cannes Film Festival, Elsa Hosk stunned in a black bodycon gown by Mugler that was originally worn by Claudia in 1995. The Swedish model's archival look was paired with pearl necklaces and voluminous hair with flower clips – a true 90s revival.

And it seems like Claudia was impressed, too! She took to Instagram to praise Elsa's recreation of her look, calling her "beautiful" and adding that she's always the inspiration.

Ariana Greenblatt: A Chanel Corset

Also spotted channeling Claudia at Cannes was Ariana Greenblatt, who wore an archival Karl Lagerfeld-era Chanel corset that was originally worn by Claudia in 1993. The chic look paid homage to Claudia and showed off Ariana's stunning figure.

But what's even more fascinating is that Claudia shared a photo of herself wearing the same corset back in the day, captioning it: "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: Versace Vibes

Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter and Anne Hathaway both rocked Claudia's iconic Versace looks at different events. Sabrina took to the stage at her tour wearing a mini version of the dress that Claudia originally wore on the runway in Milan Fashion Week.

Claudia shared a photo of Sabrina on her Instagram Stories, praising her for "wearing it well." And Anne Hathaway also looked stunning in a green Versace gown at the 2023 Met Gala – one that was almost identical to the look worn by Claudia just days earlier.

Dua Lipa: A Vintage Chanel Gown

And last but not least, Dua Lipa stunned in a vintage Chanel gown paired with a 225-carat diamond necklace at the 2023 Met Gala. The singer's tweed ballgown was designed by Karl Lagerfeld himself and was originally worn by Claudia in 1992.

Claudia took to Instagram to praise Dua's recreation of her look, saying: "I always love seeing these special looks live a second life @dualipa @chanelofficial."

So there you have it – the fashion icons of our time are being emulated left and right. But what does this mean for the future of fashion? Will we see more 90s revivals on the red carpet, or will these celebrities continue to push boundaries with their own unique styles?

Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – when it comes to fashion, there's no one better than Claudia Schiffer.
