Fashion's most iconic outfit: Anna Wintour's sparkly Marc Jacobs dress from 1990.

One of the most iconic fashion moments in history is Anna Wintour's appearance in a shimmering Marc Jacobs dress back in 1990. Designed by Jacobs himself, the sparkling, spaghetti-strap mini dress was worn by Wintour at the celebration of the book Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up. This standout piece from the late '80s/early '90s remains a defining look of the era.

Wintour’s style during this period often featured bold choices, including short hemlines and eye-catching sparkles. The dress was paired with a simple black handbag, a delicate watch, and a chunky beaded necklace—accessories that would become staples of her signature look. The dress captured the glamour of the time while maintaining a timeless elegance.

Today, nearly 34 years later, the shimmering Marc Jacobs mini still feels incredibly relevant. Although Wintour herself might not wear it in 2024, the dress’s influence endures in the world of fashion, continuing to inspire designers and fashion lovers alike.
