My Instagram just threw up a photo of Kate Moss and Johnny Depp from the 90s and it reminded just amazing they looked together (I think it reality it was a very different story). I then went down a bit of a rabbit hole and remembered Linda Evangelista and Kyle McLachlan and they were equally as gorgeous.

Anyone else?

Obvs this is lighthearted and just something to while away the last few hours of Friday afternoon.

I third Helena and Michael. Still now when footage of him is on the telly I am frozen looking at him, he was literally dripping with charisma.

He totally was. Such a fantastic frontman. I saw INXS on my 18th birthday at Wembley in 1990. I'll never forget it! He was at his peak then. So sad for what happened not long after. I don't feel that Michael & Paula were a good match at all

I was there two. Sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. I still think about those trousers 😳

Giles and Mary, the 2 irritating bickerers from Gogglebox. A pair of beautiful people when young.

Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden.

They are adorable I love Jack Lowden he is just lovely.

Oh God Michael and Paula. What a car crash. I loved Paula in the mid 80s too, I hate that she made such a mess of her life and tbh her daughters' lives.

She was so intelligent, charismatic, sharp and funny, such a waste.

Indeed, though every reliable source suggests that they didn’t sleep together until she was 16. He believed that their union was “sacred”
Which suggests issues.

Hmmm. Muhammed thought this too.

It was so incredibly sad, and selfish really. For all the love she undoubtedly had for her children, she was not a good mother - and I really think that’s all she wanted to be

Sadly I think as soon as she got together with Michael they sealed their own fates. He was battling major demons and probably shouldn't have been with anyone, let alone have a child with them. She seemed to push her family aside for him

The Queen and Prince Philip, in their youth?

Serpentstooth · 17/05/2025 22:09

Poor Paula, with all her gifts, she couldn't overcome her awful childhood and the final straw for her seemed to be the revelation that she'd been fathered by a man she loathed. Which her mother denied, maybe she still does. Paula was the image of her natural father, despite her mother's persistent denials. Already unstable, it seemed to tip her over the edge. Damaged people gravitate towards each other unfortunately and it rarely ends well.

Rose is attractive but she isn't beautiful. not sure Kit is either.

MrsSkylerWhite · 17/05/2025 22:24

I think she is. Very few women look great au naturelle. Kit is gorgeous, IM humble O.

Richard Burton was never good looking.

He wasn't a pretty boy, but his looks suited his voice....

Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet when they were together - when I heard they had kids together I just thought 'They must be the most beautiful children of all time!'
