I was born in '73 and have always had a huge passion for music. I suppose most of the female celebrities that I wanted to look like were singers. My top 4 were (and still are),

Sade (the most beautiful woman in the world imo and I still adore her music)

Debbie Harry

Susanna Hoffs (still stunning at 66)

Belinda Carlisle

When I was younger I thought Legs & Co were glam. All that dancing and those legs, I didn’t have a clue what the women looked like.

Oh yes, and Wendy James from Transvision Vamp.

I was born in 91 and grew up with Stevie Nicks and Cher's music and always thought they were the epitome of beauty. Also liked Kelly Brook back then

Oh yes, and Wendy James from Transvision Vamp.

She was on an old TOTP last Friday. Had an outfit on that would make Sabrina Carpenter look like a nun.
Hair was bleached until it had broken off, chalky lipstick, no bra…
She looked absolutely gorgeous! Also the inspiration for Claudia Winkleman’s make up.
She was really, really film star beautiful.

IPokeBadgers · 07/04/2025 18:23

I was born in '79 and a teen in the 90s.

For me, the stars I thought were most beautiful were Winona Ryder, Julia Roberts and Neve Campbell....all very different but each with their own look. I most wanted to look like NC...

I am 5'4 and was always one of the heavier girls in my year group.... so couldn't relate to models and movie stars who felt out of reach but I found the quirky and girl next door beauty of Winona and Neve very appealing. And Julia was just out of this world beautiful.

Noperope · 07/04/2025 18:27

Alicia Silverstone in the Aerosmith video 🤤

I always admired Olivia Newton John. Always radiated her beautiful, "girl next door" innocent look, and she was a genuinely lovely person in real life too. No one ever had a bad word against her.
