Nia Long’s style on and off the red carpet has always had a special place in our hearts. She’s an effortless beauty, which was the entire vibe of the ‘90s. Trends during then leaned more towards minimalism with accents of detail here and there to indicate personal style. The less is more approach can do wonders for a look with Long as the perfect example. A white halter top, dark fitted jeans, and an animal print mule are three items that you can pair together to get the actress’s ‘90s look or mix and match for other outfits. That’s the beauty of this look—the versatility.
What we love about fashion is that it’s cyclical. Sometimes when a ‘fit is just too good, it comes back. Lucky for us, this look is one of those timeless ones that make you retrospective. If you want to channel some ‘90s style icon energy today, we suggest our top selects below.
