Claudia Schiffer’s influence extends far beyond the runway, making her a defining figure in the realm of beauty as well. Ever since making her fashion debut in the early 1990s, Schiffer has consistently been raising the standard for beauty.
Some of the most recognizable magazine covers and ad campaigns have featured Schiffer’s evolving beauty. She had often been compared to Barbie; a likeness highlighted by her 1994 Vogue Italia shoot with Ellen Von Unwerth. To celebrate her 30-year career and Rizzoli book release, Mattel made her an official Barbie doll by recreating one of those iconic looks. Schiffer was known for her voluminous, waved hair, which brilliantly captured the 90s era’s aesthetic. Her makeup, which often featured bright lips and defined brows, went well with both her natural beauty and the lavish clothing that dominated the runways. Today, Schiffer’s look has shifted to a more minimalist appearance. Her hair is now often worn in sleek, straight styles, sometimes with subtle waves.
From her flawlessly maintained hair and glowing skin to her varying hairstyles, every appearance has strengthened her reputation as a beauty icon. Her perfect skin, captivating features, and incredible sense of style have made her a sought-after inspiration for both top designers and photographers.
Here is a look at Claudia Schiffer’s evolving beauty moments, highlighting how she continues to influence and inspire the fashion and beauty industries.
