Linda Evangelista Breaks Down 20 Memorable Looks From 1981 To Now | Life In Looks

“I’ll do anything for fashion,” says Linda Evangelista, British Vogue’s September 2022 cover star, as she flips through photos of her most iconic outfits through the years for British Vogue’s Life in Looks series.
From her very first Vogue cover in 1987 to her starring role in George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90” video and her unforgettable runway appearances for the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Azzedine Alaïa and Gianni Versace, her biggest career milestones were era-defining - and their impact on fashion continues to be felt today. Here, she reflects on her most dramatic hair transformations, her friendship with Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington, and the Peter Lindbergh portrait that heralded the birth of the supermodel.

I feel so, so bad for what happened to her. Such a beautiful woman & she seems to have such a beautiful spirit. I've just learned of what happened to her when she got cold sculpting & saw some of the pics. I wonder if she has also lost her hair since almost all the recent photos of her, her head is covered. I really hate that Doctors aren't better abt educating patients on risks. All patients should be required to sign something that lists all known side effects of the procedures & surgeries they get regardless of whether they're necessary or cosmetic. I'd considered cold sculpting but just the possibility of enduring what's happened to her has made me realize, it's not worth it ; I'll be hitting the gym more

[@danielobrien7695]

Linda posted something about this on her Instagram awhile back there was a documentary made not sure it got released though

[@Fizz0999]

@@danielobrien7695 ooooh great! I do hope so. I think it’s a fascinating era, so much was changing and did end up changing!

[@fred8433]

There is one coming out on AppleTV which features Linda, Christy , Naomi and Cindy.

I love her comments about her model friends. She is amazing.

[@acatinthecradle]

I'm so happy to see Linda here reminiscing about the 80s, 90s and 2000 era and her amazing career. She has the most stunning eyes still to this day she is beautiful! Loved her so much in the Freedom video!!! Missing George tremendously as well and just feel as though he should still be here with us. God Bless you Linda and your wonderful contributions to the fashion world are simply the best! ❤

[@thatnordychickv340]

I have been waiting for the Linda reemergence forever, that I nearly wept when I saw her on the cover of British Vogue and back in the spotlight! I never want to see her go away again...so statuesque, the definition of SUPERMODEL. She looks divine! She was totally missed at the Versace fashion reunion with all the 90's greats, I would love to see something like that again.

[@MrsG2A]

Its so so shocking to me to see that she's still so absurdly beautiful and perfect at almost 60. What a talent, what a supermodel, what a perfect beauty and glamour and elegance. Thank you British Vogue and the Fashion World for bringing her back to where she belongs. Linda, we just love you the way you are!

[@giuliantoneIIi]

She is actually all taped up. That's why she's wearing that hat

[@rosalie4069]

its called surgery...

[@Tinker-xr1gi]

@@giuliantoneIIi and? She still looks very beautiful to me. We shouldn’t judge people for doing what makes them comfortable.

[@omfg2crunk]

@@Tinker-xr1gi and thats whats hiding under the scarf and hat. Nobody is judging her looks except you. They were merely stating factual information.

[@parisinthe30sx]

@@omfg2crunk they were stating a fact yes, but saying that after someone says she looks beautiful, it comes off as they are inferring that she isn't. Its pretty clear what they meant by saying that. It was a unnecessary comment

[@MsMoneyonMyMind]

Perfection… my first introduction was George Michael’s Freedom video and my 7 year old self was obsessed even then. I stan 🙌🏾

[@skyejones8509]

My favorite of all time- she really put the super into supermodel. She's just so uniquely beautiful and stunning, and omg she seems so sweet too. I am so happy to see her back!

[@melv5566]

Omg 😳 feel like I’m staring at a mythical magical relic that I never thought really was that good to exist. Haaaaa she’s a legend and still looks amazing.

[@christianurena510]

she has a radiance and a calmness that really allured me through the whole video! She gracefully commanded me to focus on her and her stories and I believe that's the trait of a real supermodel

[@AliceBrazilLlamas]

I was smiling the whole time I was watching. This was an absolute treat. Thank you British Vogue!

[@atolm1]

She is an absolute embodiment of exquisite beauty, captivating not only on the outside but also radiating a profound inner glow that is enchanting ❤.

[@joshua_fry_speed9449]

I am crying this is so beautiful. When we use words like ICONIC and LEGENDARY this is what we’re talking about. Queen of Queens. I was the one who submitted the Canada walk of fame nomination. Breathless. God bless you Linda.

[@surfnoir]

she's literally the personification of the word glamour

[@LilLadyAy]

Just saw her on the cover of a new magazine, I'm pleased she's showing herself again and speaking, what a nice voice. 😊

[@wayneyu6104]

First time ever hearing Linda speaks. So sweet. Followed fashion of the 80s-90s greatly, my love for fashion photography and I have heard of all the people she mentioned. Collected a lot of fashion magazines back then. Wish I could have a quiet afternoon tea w Linda and hear her reminiscent stories about the fashion world. It was like a big party of all the great fashion talents. And it felt like the party never ends because these people have worked so well together to make things look so great. It’s art

[@bcairns47ntlworld]

I'm so sorry that she has been through so much , she is still one of the great beauties of our time and is back where she belongs on the cover of Vogue... always Iconic

[@flaviaribeiro1053]

When I was a very young, rebellious, teen I saw Linda's adds for L'Oréal and I was hooked. I grabbed a scissor and made a short bob, just like hers. Man, that made feel great! I was just a kid from the suburbs and I wanted to encapsulate that elegance so bad. For me, she means edginess, sophistication and empowerment. Thank you, Linda, for your massive contributions into fashion's history 💜

[@sjc1169]

Linda is so elegant and classy. I love how she talks so lovingly of her photos and memories. She is one of those who embodies fashion and its artistry.

[@thatgirlmadge]

The lovely essence of you Linda will never change. The beauty of you inside and out transcends all. You are VOGUE, never forget who you are, and all you inspire! As a fashion Illustrator/ Pro Makeup Artist, you have been in my drawings/paintings/ and makeup looks for years. ♡ ☆♡☆ Luv B

[@FitnessGramPacerTest]

I read the articles about a “deformed face” but she looks absolutely incredible. I hope she knows that and feels it. ❤️❤️

[@riverzane8350]

deformed body not face

[@corinas.harvik6404]

It’s like if you don’t look hardcore facetuned-photoshopped-airbrushed you’re deformed. What a disgrace. She’s gorgeous❤️

[@AngelaMay66]

Why the scarves?

[@changeeyecolor3891]

🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@elisdylan]

@@AngelaMay66 unfortunately she underwent some surgery that she wound up having an adverse reaction to. For this shoot she had Pat McGrath do her makeup and use tape to pull the skin on her face so she’d look more like her old self, the scarves hide the tape

[@swisski]

Linda was so pleasant to listen to. I love the way she speaks in such a measured tempo, without haste and hyperbole.

[@mizzchuz.6413]

She sounds like most Canadian born people living in southern Ontario. We don't really have distinct accents.

[@chipmunkpark8826]

She had the best face in the industry...even now she is still slaying

[@Mone333Williams]

Yes she did and I'm a BLK woman saying this. Linda had the top 3 face in 90s fashion ❤

[@1brianfan]

I have always thought she was one of the most beautiful models in the 80s/90s. I have always loved her. I’m glad she’s getting back out there. Love you Linda!

[@nickthieling951]

fantastic seeing her back, I'm glad she was abled to break through her depression and find beauty in herself again.

[@hwhy2]

The elegance and regality of the original 80s-90s supermodels is unmatched ✨

[@girlinterrupted2625]

She is still stunning. She and Naomi are my favorite models from the 90’s. Oh and Turlington so gorgeous🥰

[@magosiag.1592]

I have fallen in love with her when i saw her in George Michael's video 'Freedom'. She was an inspiration for me since then. I have also got my hair short and dyed blond 😁👍

[@elissahoran1130]

Linda, You look totally amazing in every design !!!!!!!!!!!! I was working in NY in the early 90's and you, Christy, Naomi, and Cindy changed the world of fashion forever !!!!!!!!!! You were everywhere !!!!!!!! It was such an exciting time and inspirational to all women !!!!!!!! I can only imagine how you influenced the lives of housewives everywhere to have a dream, to look to, outside their world !!!!!!!!!! I don't think there will ever be a time so free and exciting ever again!!!!!!! Everything in that time was over the top !!!!!!!!! Thank you for all of your hard work to bring us the best in beauty and fashion !!!!!!!!! God Bless You !!!!!!!! Peace, Elissa

[@valsainking]

This was so exquisitely done. I can't think of a better way to describe it. Linda's iconic beauty and absolutely regal demeanor were already enough of a lavish treat, but to get to hear her speak so candidly about her career is almost like hitting the reset button on your entire life. Fabulous woman and she comes across every bit as sweet and down to earth as I had suspected. She could not have been more aptly named: Linda, Spanish for beautiful, and she is that, inside and out. Incidentally, that 1995 Thierry Mugler gown needs to be in a museum. Superb! 🌹🌷

[@snakey319]

She forgot how much we love and missed her for a bit. So glad to see and hear her talk about the fashions, I still have old Vogues with those girls, such beauties, such personality.

[@margaretfortune4474]

When supermodels ruled the world. One of my favorite supermodels. Enjoyed watching this ♥️

[@usagithebunny]

This woman is the definition of supermodels for me and what they represent. I’m 30 years old and her face is the first image to appear when someone mentions about supermodels-of course, the others are surely Christy Turlington, Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell.

[@the4rtistandtheproduc3r]

Her deep affection for all the artists that she worked with really makes this a wonderful piece. She is fashion but she is still a fan.

[@tarahevey6379]

Linda has always. Always, ALWAYS been my favorite, and still is to this day. No one can top her beauty. ♥️

[@djk0125]

Right On!

[@yoonytakeuchi]

Wow. She's so humble, down-to-earth, gracious. When she chopped her hair short in '89, I was forever inspired.

[@NicholasFrancischetti]

an absolute angel she is 🥹 I just hope she knows she radiates the same beautiful energy as she did back then, now in the present.

[@rebeccah.4983]

Ms Evangelista has one of the most beautiful incandescent smiles ever. Also, I appreciate her positive vibes about the models, designers, hair stylists and photographers she has a history with.

[@andriabarlow6889]

I absolutely love that she chose to grace the public with this interview; reviewing, reliving, and reminiscing on all those years of such striking, stunning beauty and all the immeasurable success that arose from it… I just hate that she felt the need to do so, completely covered and hidden.. I don’t think she understands- that regardless of what you may look like now, or whose fault that may be- nothing can nor ever will negate the impact, the legacy, the ICON that she was and will always be. I just hope she doesn’t feel like it’s been taken away from her… her beauty shines through, even today, with her grace and her bravery in coming forward with her experiences and her truth.

[@aquarian6004]

I always say this, of all the supermodels. Linda is the ultimate fashionista inside and out. She definitely knows the references and artistic inspirations of the clothes and photographs she’s in.

It's so great to see Linda back in the spotlight, I hope she gets to overcome her health problems. I miss that era of the early 90s when all these fierce women were everywhere.
