Geri Halliwell, Princess Diana, and Britney Spears have topped a list of celebrities – who had the most iconic fashion moments of the 1990s, according to a survey.

This was followed by Princess Diana's “revenge” dress in 1994 (35%), and “The Rachel” hairstyle (30%) that was all the rage after being sported by Jennifer Aniston's character in beloved sitcom, Friends.
Other popular choices were Britney Spears' schoolgirl outfit from the 1999 “Hit Me Baby” music video, and Liz Hurley's daring safety pin dress, worn to the 1994 premier of “Four Weddings and a Funeral”.

These nostalgic recreations, meticulously crafted by a team of expert stylists and wigmakers, comes after the national poll saw 32% name the 90s as the most iconic decade for popular culture, fashion, and beauty.
Frankie Bridge said: “Before I joined a pop group, I used to love dressing up and performing as my favourite icons for my friends and family.
“I’ve loved recreating some of my favourite pop culture memories. Impulse was always in my bag growing up, and it instantly transports me back in time to the 90s.”
The study also found 43% of adults have nostalgia for the 90s – with body sprays, shimmer eyeshadow, and crimped hair topping the list of the hair and beauty trends the nation is embracing in 2023.
And 21% of those who have tried a 90s trend have even experimented with one of the decade’s most controversial looks – super-skinny eyebrows. Meanwhile, 11% have donned frosted tips this year, made popular by boyband NSYNC.
Other iconic celebrity looks from the decade Madonna’s 1990 cone bra (27%), while 13% selected Will Smith’s out-there, day-glo getups from his breakthrough role as the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
It also emerged people would rather travel back in time, than into the future (47% versus 23%, respectively). And 42% think the 90s really are having a resurgence in terms of pop culture, fashion, and beauty.
Bartholomew Krysiak, Impulse spokesman, said: “We have recreated some of the most famous 90s looks to celebrate the revival and return of a renowned 90s product, Impulse O2 and Air.
