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.'

Man fights back tears after partner shares passionate kiss with stranger - before brazenly revealing plans to sleep with him
A man on Too Hot Too Handle: Spain fought back tears after his partner shared a passionate kiss with a stranger - before revealing her plans to sleep with him. The reality dating show, available on Netflix, is a spin-off from the British original, which launched in 2020. It sees ten chronic singletons head to a house on the Turks and Caicos Islands for four weeks, forbidden from kissing, sexual contact or masturbation. Money is taken out of the $100,000 eventual cash prize pot any time a rule is broken. The Spanish-language edition only launched on the streamer last week - but it has already been full of drama, steamy moments and fiery arguments. One particularly intense moment saw a male contestant on the verge of a breakdown after his partner told him her attention had strayed to someone else in the house. Fitness model Enri Sánchez and influencer Saray Marín coupled up near the start of the series and found they got on well, risking it all a couple of times to steal a kiss or cuddle. But when new man Cristhian joins the show, he chooses Saray to go on a date with him - where they share a passionate kiss. She soon approaches Enri for a chat about how her feelings have changed after it. As Saray walks over to the group he is sat with, the other contestants say warily, 'She's coming', before she asks him: 'Can we talk?' One of the lads encourages him, 'Chin up', before Enri says in his confessional: 'I want to talk to her and have her tell me everything.' When the pair sit down on a sofa, Enri says, 'My heart's beating so fast', to which Saray replies gently: 'Calm down, relax.' He looks visibly nervous, unable to meet her eyes and with closed off body language, as she opens: 'Right, this is hard, huh?' She puts a tentative hand on his arm as he replies, 'Just be truthful, be honest with me', which she agrees she is going to do. In a brutal confession, which leaves Enri shocked, Saray explains: 'We spent the whole day together. I was laughing the whole time. We had an amazing time. 'He kissed me. And I kissed him.' Enri asks if she likes Cristhian and she says she does, before he responds uncertainly: 'I don't know. It's not like you cheated because we don't have that kind of thing.' She replies firmly, 'That's right, we don't', as he continues: 'But this is complicated. I feel really betrayed, to be honest.' Saray is taken aback by this, going from stroking his arm to comfort him, to saying incredulously: 'Seriously?' In a confessional shot, Enri admits: 'I feel like a complete loser. I've been talking her up all afternoon and now I find this out.' As the camera flips back to their conversation, Saray confesses: 'I can understand that you feel bad - but not betrayed.' To put the shoe on the other foot, he asks: 'If it was me on the date, do you think I would have done anything?' She admits she thinks he would have - a characterisation of him he objects to: 'Right, if you think I'm like that...' Enri then asks her bluntly if she is dumping him to date Cristhian instead - to which Saray replies she would like to get to know the new boy. In her own confessional, single-minded Saray says: 'That's what I want, so that's what I'll do.' Meanwhile, Enri still struggles to understand her thinking in the moment: 'I understand that this guy went all in but honestly, I wanted you to have fun but not for you guys to kiss.' Saray replies: 'I swear, I really thought you wouldn't care.' He fires back: 'Listen, I swear, I've been having feelings for you. You're my support system here.' She asks him if he is serious, admitting in her confessional: 'I think he's saying things that, considering the short time we've been here, are a bit much. 'And he tells me that he feels very comfortable with me and that he's really into me. But overall, I've noticed that his actions don't reflect his feelings at all.' She then makes her real bombshell admission about Cristhian to Enri: 'There's something else. We decided that we want to share a bed tonight' Saray explains her position to him: 'The problem is I don't really know what you're like, you know? I see some things in you that don't add up. 'And there are times when I don't really get you.' She then makes her real bombshell admission about Cristhian to Enri: 'There's something else. We decided that we want to share a bed tonight.' This is too much for Enri, who explains in a confessional: 'Look, right now, I want to leave. 'If Saray ends up sharing a bed with Cristhian, I don't think we can fix this.' In the moment, he says: 'I don't feel like crying but I feel weird.' But it seems some tears do soon start to fall, as he wipes his eyes and turns away from Saray, who looks sombre to say the least. It comes after some sexually charged moments on another reality dating show saw viewers draw comparisons to the famously racy Too Hot To Handle. The current series of Love Island UK (pictured), which started on June 9, has been one of the most dramatic series of the ITV2 programme in recent memory The current series of Love Island UK, which started on June 9, has been one of the most dramatic series of the ITV2 programme in recent memory. And a recent toe-curling chat between Islanders Dejon, Toni and Yasmin left fans cringing, as talk in the villa once again turned to a threesome. While the show is known for its steamy moments, this exchange proved too much for some fans, who admitted they were 'uncomfortable' about the chat. Despite the fact that Dejon's partner Meg Moore had already been left upset by Yasmin and Toni's previous threesome chat, the conversation returned to the topic in Wednesday's episode. Toni made a jaw-dropping confession about enjoying a threesome with a 'p**n star and an NFL player'. It led Dejon to say: 'You know what really gets me going? It's simple but kissing, that really gets me going. 'I love talking, you know when someone's talking dirty to me, I love that.' Yasmin admitted: 'It comes out in the heat of the moment. You're in the right place my friend, this is a safe space!', leading Dejon to declare he 'just loved sex'. She cheekily added: 'You are good-looking! We were already in your head honey!' - before Dejon admitted he needed to leave the conversation. It left some fans feeling weird, writing comments on social media including: 'This conversation between Toni, Yasmin and Dejon is making me extremely uncomfortable;' 'Yasmin, Toni and Dejon are unreal. I can't believe my ears;' 'Omg I can't do this Dejon x Toni x Tasmin convo. How did I used to watch Love Island season two/three with a straight face at like the age of ten?;' 'Toni and Yasmin are on the wrong show. They need to go on Temptation Island or Too Hot To Handle.' Threesome chats had already annoyed Meg the previous day - so she was visibly furious when she learned from Dejon that Toni and Yasmin had once again broached the topic. While Toni was quick to state there was no real chance of them having a 'f*****g threesome', Meg hit back: 'It's just a respect thing.' Toni noted the issue was something Meg needed to discuss with Dejon - but she was quick to end the chat. Yasmin noted Dejon 'hadn't done anything wrong,' and insisted he had been 'so open and so honest' during their exchange.

Rita Ora cringes as ukulele busker Liam Cowan hops in her car for an impromptu performance
Rita Ora was left cringing after a ukulele busker hopped in her car to give an impromptu performance of his original tune, Dolla Dolla. The musician known as 'Liam C', real name Liam Cowan, went viral last year for his 'cringe-worthy' serenade of Dua Lipa, 29, and has also bombarded fellow stars including Stormzy, 31, at Glastonbury Festival. Now, a new video shared by Liam on Instagram sees the musician enthusiastically playing his tune to an uncomfortable-looking Rita, 34. At the beginning of the clip, Rita gets escorted to her car by security as she is mobbed by fans and photographers shouting out her name. Meanwhile, Liam could be seen pushing his way through people to get into Rita's car as well with his cameraman. Once inside the car, Liam introduced Rita to the camera and said: 'We just had an absolute madness. Now, a new video shared by Liam on Instagram sees the musician enthusiastically playing his tune to an uncomfortable-looking Rita, 34 He continued: 'Very very lovely of her to just let me come in her car so I can play her a good tune. Is that alright? Rita simply replied: 'Always.' Liam then explained what his song is about, he said: 'This is called Dollar Dollar. So, like I'm living out my rucksack, running around doing the whole Ed Sheeran thing, doing everything I can to get noticed. So this is my song about that.' As he began to strum on his ukulele, Rita's unimpressed expression said it all, and she appeared lost for words. Following his quick performance, Liam asked Rita: 'Was it good?' and she politely replied: 'I loved it.' After posting the video to his Instagram, several people flocked to the comment section to share their opinions on the 'cringe-worthy' moment. One jokingly quipped: 'Her face says it all (laughing emojis); 'She was stressed (crying emoji)'; 'She's kool but she don't like it (laughing emoji).' Last year, Liam claimed he 'blagged' his way into Glastonbury Festival without a ticket in a bid to promote his fledgling music career. Joined by cameraman pal Andreas Tomoiaga, Liam documented his journey from his house to Somerset on his Instagram page which he has flooded with videos of himself performing his songs to both established artists and punters during the three-day bash. According to festival-goers, the wannabe singer played to 'anyone who would care to listen', many of whom mirrored Dua's unimpressed reaction which went viral. However, rapper Stormzy gave a far more sympathetic response moments after he joked 'not you again!' when Liam managed to locate him for the second successive year after he performed in front of him during the 2023 festival. The busker also serenaded Woody Cook, the son of DJ Fatboy Slim - aka Norman Cook - and Zoe Ball, and singer Hak Baker, plus festival-goers on site and the train down to the event. A festival source told MailOnline at the time: 'Liam was literally playing that song to everyone. 'Anybody who cared to listen, he was there with his ukulele. 'Lots of people took it in good grace and admired his positive attitude but there was also a hefty percentage of festival-goers who found him quite irritating'. After he claimed to have evaded security to enter the site, Liam told his followers how he wore wristbands from the previous year's festival to avoid further checks. The busker was so desperate to attend festivals and promote his music he even set up an online Crowdfunding page. His Facebook page states he grew up in Colchester, Essex, before moving to Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Liam, who has 67,000 followers on Instagram, attended the Isle of White Festival in June where he actually performed on stage. But he's most known for performing to random people on the street, as well as bidding to impress celebrities with his tunes. During his first trip to Glastonbury in 2023, he performed to not only Stormzy but ex-footballers Peter Crouch and Jamie Carragher, singer Tom Grennan, rapper Aitch and former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews. Before his trip to the Isle of White, he managed to perform to both Strictly winner Stacey Dooley and Inbetweeners star James Buckley outside the stage door of their London theatre show 2:22. And in May 2023, he sang to Eighties crooner Rick Astley and rapper Professor Green at Kendal Calling and Girls Aloud duo Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts at Mighty Hoopla. But it was his serenation of Dua at the festival which really put him on the map courtesy of her awkward reaction which went viral. Speaking to her behind the Pyramid Stage, Liam asked the superstar: 'I saw your Camden documentary and I thought it was amazing. 'Right now I am busking around Camden and I wanted to play you 30 seconds of my song and if you like it, I just want to get your reaction and that's it.' At 30 seconds Dua politely tells Liam 'I love it mate, so good, so good,' while walking away as he continues to sing. Her unimpressed reaction went viral with one tweeting: 'That video of the lad singing to Dua Lipa at Glastonbury has given me third degree cringe. Another shared a screenshot of Dua's unimpressed face as they quipped: 'Every woman on earth can identify with Dua Lipa waiting for the guy to stop playing guitar.' 'If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment her heart breaks in two'; 'She thought it would be like a chorus but he kept going lmao'; 'Dua hun, blink twice if you need help'; 'That Dua Lipa video nearly made me fold within myself like a camping chair.' Others though defended Liam with one musing: 'IDK man, if playing a sh***y song and looking like an idiot gets you a hug from Dua Lipa then I'm going to buy a ukulele.'
