So let me educate the young and feed the nostalgia of the rest of us by highlighting the hottest sex symbols from the 1990s.

Top Five 90s Sex Symbols

Here are the top five hottest 90s sex symbols:

5.Cindy Crawford

Model Cindy Crawford made the face mole cool again - a natural nod to Marilyn Monroe. The curvy hottie drove boys crazy in the 1990s which is amazing considering the Midwestern maven comes from humble beginnings in rural Illinois. With her hourglass shape, the flawless brunette was a model that had every major campaign falling over backward to get Cindy to model for them. From posing nude in Playboy to walking runways for great designers, Cindy Crawford was a 90s It Girl.

Claudia Schiffer was a muse for designers, including Karl Lagerfeld who called her the new Brigitte Bardot. Those are some gorgeous shoes to fill! The model was even the highest-paid working model in the world at one point. She turned her attention to acting for a brief few years in the late 90s and early 2000s and was paid 200,000 British pounds for her role in 2003's Love Actually - a role that was onscreen for less than a minute. If anyone knew how to get paid for being beautiful in front of a camera it was Claudia Schiffer.
