Patrick McMullan Picks the Biggest Stars of Pre-Instagram ’90s (Photos)

New York legend and star photographer Patrick McMullan’s archive was recently syndicated into the Getty Images database. In celebration, TheWrap asked McMullan to curate a series of photos starring icons of the ’90s. The results may surprise you. 

Magician and serial dater David Blaine, Leonardo DiCaprio and actor Lukas Haas had an epic bromance that would’ve lit up his Facebook page — if that existed at the time.

The unstoppable Cindy Crawford would easily bested Instagram’s ruling model, Kendall Jenner. 

Tumblr would have a field day with the relationship #goals of then-item Kate Moss and Johnny Depp.

It doesn’t get more ’90s glam than Gwyneth Paltrow (left) and designer Stella McCartney, who are Tweethearts to this day.

Before she was a global brand and style icon, Victoria Beckham (left) and Emma Bunton were pop royalty as members of The Spice Girls.

Milla Jovovich has largely been relegated to the “Resident Evil” franchise in the past decade, but in the ’90s she was a heat-seeking model and actress. Here she’s seen with Drew Barrymore. 

In what is perhaps the greatest ’90s photo in existence, Tommy Hilfiger recruited the following ladies to wear his garb at the Race to Erase MS Gala in 1999: China Chow, Gwen Stefani, Kidada Jones, the late great Aaliyah and actress Rashida Jones. 

While three of these faces are now music institutions, their club days would have made amazing fodder for social platforms, from second-from-left: Damon Dash, Aalyiah, Jay-Z, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jennifer Lopez.

Instagram and YouTube would’ve been rife with makeup tutorials and mashup tributes to bona fide supermodels, from left, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington and Elle Macpherson. 

Milton Berle might not be a name anyone with a smartphone would recognize, but the TV star’s penchant for costumes and sketches would have made him a powerful hybrid of Jimmy Fallon‘s take on “The Tonight Show,” the spinoff “Lip Sync Battle” and more.
