Crush culture existed long before Gen Z, and here’s the proof. Celebrity crushes have been passed on from one generation to another like some folk tale. Some celebrity crushes are timeless, but going back to our pop era, the 90s, we would be lying if we said there weren’t many heartthrobs back in the day. So let’s go back in time to check out six actresses that were everyone’s crushes in the 90s!
Jennifer Aniston:
How can we say a 90s celebrity crush and not mention Jennifer Anniston instantly? Everyone loved Jenny despite being indifferent about Rachel from Friends. They even invented a hairstyle named after Rachel, and everyone did it! And to prove that Jennifer is a timeless celebrity crush, Tom Holland said he thinks she’s perfect!
Meg Ryan:
We think that Meg invented the main character. Known forever as America’s sweetheart, everyone fell in love with Meg from You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, City of Angels, and the 80s’ Top Gun. Meg is probably your father’s celebrity crush too!
Winona Ryder:
Winona forever. That’s what Johnny Depp’s tattoo of Winona said, and we can’t agree more. After rising to fame in the 80s’ Beetlejuice, we fell in love with Winona in Edward Scissorhands. We now see her rocking in Stranger Things, and we’re still crushing on her as Joyce.
Cameron Diaz:
Cameron is a Hollywood star born in the 90s, as that’s when her stardom came to life. Her appearance in The Mask and There’s Something About Mary earned her people’s hearts. The Charlie’s Angels movies then kicked in the early 2000s making Cameron literally everyone’s celebrity crush, even Daniel Radcliffe’s!
Neve Campbell:
Neve Campbell was the 90s. We’re not even ashamed to say that amidst the tormenting events of the horror movie Scream, we had the time to crush on Neve. Though Neve left Hollywood after the Scream franchise, some people watched them for her.
Alicia Silverstone:
Alicia is better known as Cher from Clueless. Alicia Silverstone is a 90s icon! Cher may have been the only rich girl that we were able to love too much that it turned Alicia into a timeless celebrity crush!
Who other 90s celebrities were, or are you still crushing on? Tell us in the comments!
