Elizabeth Taylor gave it sexpot status in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; Jennifer Aniston practically lived in strappy black dresses throughout the nineties; and Kate Moss… well, Kate took risks in this relatively non-risk style and completely owned this space (bow down).
Here are some of our most loved slip dress looks.

Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell were regular party companions and slip dress wearers throughout the nineties...

Kate's canary yellow slip dress was the perfect choice to wear to the 1995 Costume Institute Gala.

Michelle Pfeiffer's 1992 strappy suede shift would not look out of place in 2016.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt were the quintessential 'It' couple in the mid-nineties.
8/23
Meanwhile, a pre-Brad Angelina was all about layered velvet, heavy eyeliner and a pixie crop - grungy 90s at its best.
9/23
Another Brad Pitt love interest and another slip dress. Jennifer Aniston's love for black strappy dresses knew no bounds and she practically lived in them throughout the nineties and early noughties.
