To say that Kate Moss’s look is iconic would be a huge understatement. As the ultimate style and beauty icon for millions of women around the world (seriously, start asking the women in your life which celeb’s style they admire and you’ll be surprised how many say Kate the Great), Moss has given us countless of memorable looks throughout her decades-long modelling career.
In honour of her 49th birthday on January 16, we’re looking back at some of the most iconic Kate Moss beauty looks. (And yes, in case you’re wondering, it was really hard to narrow the list down to 25.)
