Kate Moss in 2026 is still setting the style tone for generations. With a new film about the model out this week, it is the perfect excuse for some Mosstalgia. From party dresses to muddy boots, here are her best fashion moments.
The Early Years: A Renaissance Cherub
In 1993, a Corinne Day shoot for British Vogue captured Moss in her shabby flat, skinny and in her knickers. The tabloids hated these photos, but they launched a new era of grunge. Moss has since spoken about being bullied on set by Day, but the image remains iconic, now housed in the V&A.
Glastonbury Kate: Rock 'n' Roll Style
The 2005 Glastonbury look is a favourite: a barely there minidress, low-slung hipster belt, leather jacket, and mud-splattered Hunter boots. This nonchalant, carefree style has become fashion mythology, inspiring Gen Z two decades later.
A Fitting Goodbye: Bowie's Ziggy Bodysuit
At the 2014 Brits, Moss wore the Kansai Yamamoto bodysuit David Bowie wore as Ziggy Stardust. It felt like a consecration, an understated tribute that, with Bowie's death in 2016, became a fitting goodbye.
Party Dresses: Fun and Flirty
A 1999 shot of Moss and Naomi Campbell in chainmail dresses with butterfly detailing is a digital mood board staple. Captured leaving a party with smudged eyeliner, their sense of fun is palpable, embodying the Y2K aesthetic that Gen Z now covets.
The Slip Dress: Cool and Fresh
Moss popularised the slip dress, like the iridescent Liza Bruce version she wore in 1993 with flip-flops and black underwear. It still looks fresh, and the many naked dress-clad celebrities on red carpets today walk a Moss-lined path.
Maximalist Catwalk Moments
Despite embodying 1990s minimalism, Moss's most unforgettable catwalk moments were maximalist. At Vivienne Westwood autumn/winter 1994, she appeared topless, eating a Magnum, in a micromini, towering pink platforms, and a lilac pirate hat, exuding effortless cool.
Pure Main Character Energy: 30th Birthday
Moss's 30th birthday party featured a vintage sequin floor-length gown with a cape, originally worn by Britt Ekland. With jazz-age curls, smoky eyes, and diamonds, the outfit exuded pure main character energy.
An Anomaly: Vintage Yellow Dress
In 2003, Moss wore a primrose-yellow vintage 1950s dress to a party in New York, a departure from her rock 'n' roll staples. The dress became so popular that she made a version for her Topshop collection in 2007. The original is now lost, possibly waiting to be found in a vintage store.
