Then And Now: ’80s And ’90s Supermodels

Supermodels are called that because not only are they incredibly beautiful women who know how to look hot no matter what they wear, but they also have superpowers. At least that’s what I believe. And by superpowers, I mean the ability to make or break a fashion show just with their presence on the runway. It’s been like that in the 80s and 90s and it’s still like that. Sure, there are successful fashion shows that hire models we don’t know but think about it, once they hire a supermodel, you know about it immediately and it automatically becomes the most talked about fashion show. Let’s take a look at some of the supermodels from the 80s and 90s and see what they look like now.

1. Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks biggest break happened in the 90s when she was on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Well, guess what, she did it again in 2019. Twenty years have passed and Tyra’s still a supermodel, not to mention her big success as a TV personality and a host of her own show.

2. Christy Turlington

She started modeling when she was 14, got her big break at 18 when she appeared on the cover of Vogue and featured in a Duran Duran music video. Christy is now 51 and she still looks stunning. She’s a mother of 2 and she founded a non-profit called Every Mother Counts.

3. Claudia Schiffer

Everyone knows who Claudia Schiffer is, but she had to be convinced to become a model. She was scouted in a nightclub in the late 80s and the rest is history. Clearly, modeling turned out great for her, she’s not just a supermodel, she’s a legend at this point. These days she’s a happy mom of three children, has released multiple exercise videos, works with UNICEF and has her own cashmere collection.
