The Charisse Report

Full disclaimer; this is slightly outside of my designated era of the 90s; while the single Say My Name came out in October 1999, Destiny’s Child didn’t release a video for it until January 2000. So, technically, this video shouldn’t be here! But I’m hoping I’m forgiven as I’m so close to the end of this Advent Calendar series. In this episode I share some of the drama behind the scenes of this colourful video and break down the band members and their looks.

In this 1992 hit movie there are several big stars – Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn. All three put in amazing performances, but for me, the biggest star is former model Isabella Rossellini. Without giving the plot away, she plays a socialite and sorceress, Lisle Von Rhuman, who has powers and potions that promise eternal youth and immortality and she is one of the most glamorous characters I’ve ever seen. In this episode I share why Lisle’s character is the star of this film, even though she’s only on our screens for just 15 minutes.

Season 1 of Sex and the City aired in June 1998 and it was pretty much an instant hit. The show had four female leads in the form of Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Sarah Jessica Parker which meant the audience could enjoy four different personalities and styles – and everyone had a favourite. In this episode I share who’s my favourite and why!

Today’s ‘90s Beauty Moment is all about one of my favourite fashion designers, ever. Whenever I think about Alexander McQueen’s work I can’t help but get emotional. He was a designer who could find beauty in the darkest moments, and his No.13 show was full of light and dark. The show is very well-known, mostly because of the finale, which sees model Shalom Harlow wearing a dress that’s being spray painted by two robots. But for me, there’s an even more impactful moment; the first time we see a model, who happens to be Paralympic athlete Aimee Mullins, wearing prosthetic legs on the catwalk.

Today’s ‘90s Beauty Moment is all about Brooklyn-born Foxy Brown, AKA Inga Marchand, one of the first ladies of hip-hop. She was first seen on our screens in a video for LL Cool J’s I Shot Ya remix video in 1995 and from then on her style and lyricism evolved. In this episode I break down why Foxy was and is so important to not just hip hop, but also to dark-skinned women and girls around the world – I feel she helped them feel seen, appreciated and confident.

Today’s ‘90s Beauty Moment is all about Sharon Stone’s magnificent portrayal of Ginger McKenna in Martin Scorsese’s 1995 film Casino. In this episode I break down the retro looks we see in this film that’s based in the ‘80s, from the hair and makeup pros to my favourite beauty moments from the film. Apparently Sharon Stone was dead set on playing this character and I really think that comes through in the movie – it’s an absolute classic.

If you’re a fan of ‘90s music then you need to check today’s ‘90s Beauty Moment: Missy Elliott’s video for The Rain, which came out in 1997, from her first album Supa Dupa Fly. Directed by the equally iconic director Hype Williams, this video is so ahead of its time and is a must-watch if you’ve never seen it before.  In this episode I break down the hair and beauty moments, including Missy's epic finger waves, and also share some insights into the black lipgloss and liner that we see in the video, which is also very on-trend today on social media.

Aaliyah Dana Haughton released her second album, also called One In A Million in 1996 and with six hit songs coming from that album, it’s at that point in time that she really took over the charts and became a major inspiration for young black girls when it came to how they dressed and how they wore their hair and makeup. Today's '90s Beauty Moment is all about the video for Aaliyah's single One In A Million because it's the perfect blend of '90s fashion, beauty, hair and music video influences.  Let me know if you’ve been enjoying this series over in the DMs on Twitter or Instagram @beautymepodcast or email me your thoughts at beautymepodcast@gmail.com.

Today’s ‘90s Beauty Moment is all about the power – the so-called Girl Power – of the Spice Girls, five women, chosen from hundreds to take on the boy bands of the mid-90s. In this episode I break down the looks that the world would go on to expect from Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisolm and Victoria Beckham (formerly Victoria Adams.) I also explain the super simple reason that we would go on to refer to these adult women as Baby, Ginger, Scary, Sporty and Posh for the rest of their lives.
