There are many reasons why Linda Evangelista is super. Yes, she was one of the first mega-models, lovingly named “The Trinity” alongside Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington, who walked just about every runway during the ’90s. But off the catwalk, Evangelista proved herself to be just as fashionable, becoming a fixture of the social scene in perfectly chic ensembles you’d expect from a top model.
In the height of the decade, Evangelista favored structured, mini-dresses with sparkly accents or sheer overlays that allowed for just a hint of skin. After nearly a decade out of the public eye, nowadays, the model prefers a truly show-stopping gown or an effortlessly sexy tailored suit that prove she’s still on the cutting edge of fashion all these years later. Below, look back at some of Linda Evangelista’s best style moments, everywhere from the Met Gala to Paris Fashion Week.
For a Paris Fashion Week party, Evangelista mastered the model off-duty look in a strapless LBD and statement jewels.
For her Met Gala comeback, Evangelista opted for an off-the-runway look from New York powerhouse Khaite.
