Kate Moss' Most Iconic Moments and Throwback Photos

Kate's First Catwalk

Well on her way to superstardom, Kate Moss walked her first runway in 1992 at the Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan. Dressed in a gold brocade suit and wide-brimmed hat, her effortless beauty heralded a new era in the fashion industry.

In Her Calvins

In 1992, a 16-year-old Moss posed topless for a seductive Calvin Klein photoshoot alongside Mark Wahlberg, then known as rapper Marky Mark.

The shoot, photographed by Herb Ritts, marked the beginning of her decades-long collaboration with Calvin Klein.

She later spoke out about the experience, saying it triggered a "nervous breakdown." She told Vanity Fair, "It didn't feel like me at all. I felt really bad about straddling this buff guy. I didn't like it."

Fresh-Faced Beauty

Kate's famous cheekbones were on display as she walked the runway in a low-key look at the Calvin Klein Spring 1993 show in New York City.

Stealing the Spotlight at Chanel

One of Karl Lagerfeld's muses, Moss was a mainstay on the Chanel runway for all of the 1990s.

Model Behavior

Dressed in a strappy Calvin Klein gown, Moss posed alongside fellow members of the Big Six (considered the six most famous models of the '90s), pals Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell, at the 1995 Met Gala in N.Y.C.

Va-Va-Versace

Moss modeled an all-black ensemble at Versace's Spring 1995 ready-to-wear show in Milan.

Alexander McQueen's Debut

Moss and McQueen's friendship transcended the runway. Here, the model is seen at the late British designer's debut New York fashion show in March 1996.

The pair frequently worked together before McQueen's death in 2010; the designer famously featured a hologram of Moss in his Fall/Winter 2006 show in Paris.

Lagerfeld's Ladies

As creative director of Chanel, the late Karl Lagerfeld was always surrounded by the industry's top faces: here, the late designer posed with Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Amber Valletta, Kate Moss and Stella Tennant at the Chanel ready-to-wear Spring/Summer 1996/1997 show in Paris.

Let Them Eat Cake

Moss gave off Marie Antoinette vibes with a bouffant updo and heavily rouged cheeks at Vivienne Westwood's 1997 Spring/Summer ready-to-wear collection in Paris.

Famous Friends

Longtime BFFs Moss and designer Marc Jacobs cozied up for a sweet snap at the opening of the Louis Vuitton flagship in N.Y.C.'s Soho in 1998. Jacobs was creative director for the brand for 16 years, until he left in 2013.

Modern Muse

Moss and honorary chair Jacobs arrived hand-in-hand at the 2009 Costume Institute Gala, themed "The Model As Muse," at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in N.Y.C. The pair radiated Old Hollywood glamour, with Moss in a gold cut-out dress and Jacobs in a classic black tux.

Couture for a Cause

Moss posed alongside longtime best friends Annabelle Neilson and Naomi Campbell at the Fashion for Relief Haiti show during London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2010 at Somerset House in February 2010. Neilson died in 2018, at age 49.

Get the Golden Glow

Reminiscent of the nude Calvin Klein sofa ad that shot her to stardom, Moss posed for self-tan brand St. Tropez in 2013 to mark her appointment as the new face and body of the brand.

Like Mother, Like Daughter

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! Moss' mini-me, then-18-year-old daughter Lila, walked with her supermodel mama for the first time at the Fendi couture show during Paris Fashion Week in July 2021. The show marked designer Kim Jones' first collection for Fendi.

Working the Runway

Moss showed that she's only getting better with age as she stole the spotlight at the Fendi x Versace special event during Milan Fashion Week in September 2021. Daughter Lila also walked in the crossover show.

Kate x Kim K

More recently, Moss showed off her legendary supermodel looks while posing topless for Kim Kardashian's SKIMS shapewear Summer 2021 campaign.

"Kate is THE fashion icon; she has a timeless influence that continues to define whole generations of culture and style," Kardashian said of the collaboration.
