10 Hot 90s Stars Who Got Hotter With Age

Oh, the ’90s. It was a time for crop tops, an overuse of denim, weird hairstyles, a lot of hair gel, and weirdly shaped swimsuits. There were some seriously sexy celebrities in the ’90s that were somehow able to take the weird styles of the time and make them absolutely stunning. Of course, a lot of those celebrities were in the prime of their career: Britney Spears, for example, has never been as hot as she was in the ’90s; Christina Aguilera, either, or arguably Tom Cruise. Ever since then, it’s been a downhill battle. Some celebrities fared with better luck. Consider all the celebrities that blew up in the early 2000’s: Tiger Woods, Brad Pitt, and Oprah, for example. They certainly weren’t rocking weird 90’s styles, but they figured out how to rock the evolving styles of the 2000’s to stay in the public eye. They’ve all started to fade from popularity nowadays, so who’s taking their place in the public eye? These 90’s stars finally figured it out. They realized they weren’t hotter when they bleached their hair blonde; they figured out that you don’t really have to wear socks up to your thighs to draw attention to them; they decided to hang up their denim suits in favor of something (anything) better. They are looking better than ever. Check them out: here’s 15 90’s stars that are even hotter today!  

1. Christina Ricci – Doesn’t Look Like The Same Person

Christina was a favorite child actor of ours when she was in Casper, making friends in a haunted house, or when she was April in The Addams Family, refusing to make friends in a creepy house. Christina has done a lot of growing up, and she’s become quite a babe in the meantime. Christina’s been busy since she became legal! Most recently, she played the scandalous manipulator Lizzie Borden in The Lizzie Borden Chronicles. She’ll be releasing a movie later this year called Mothers and Daughters, as well. She’s been very busy and intends to keep busy; look out for all of her scandalous modeling work! 14. Candace Cameron – Remember DJ?Remember Candace? She played the responsible and loving older sister DJ on one of our favorite childhood shows, Full House. She was a pudgy little girl, though it was completely endearing and adorable back then. The show ended before she’d gotten very old, around the time she would’ve been graduating high school.

Since then, she’s gotten a lot thinner and a lot hotter. She’s studied dance (and even had an appearance on Dancing With the Stars) and kept her figure high and tight, despite having three kids. She’s now working with Netflix on the long awaited spin-off of Full House, Fuller House!  

2. Jodie Sweetin – Full House’s Stephanie

Speaking of Full House, remember the slightly more precocious younger sister? No, not Mary Kate or Ashley Olson, but Jodie Sweetin. She played the middle sister, Stephanie. What’s she doing these days? Though Jodie and Candace only played sisters, they led very similar lives. Jodie studied dance as well, and even had a stint on Dancing With the Stars (just like Candace)! She’s also returned for the spin-off of Fuller House, where she plays a rebellious and independent young woman still trying to find herself. Though she had a rough time between Full House and Fuller House, she claims that the spin-off show has helped her get her life back together.

3. Tia (or Tamera) Mowry – Sister Sister

Candace and Jodie weren’t the only TV sisters that got better with age. Tia and Tamera played twin sisters in the show Sister Sister. The two have done plenty of movies and shows together since, rarely leaving each others’ sides. They’ve always used each other as their greatest assets on screen. Even today, the two are still side by side. They just finished a reality show documenting the two spending all of their time together while raising their children. No matter what they’re doing, they’re still some of the hottest twins on TV these days.  

4. Amanda Bynes – Hot Despite Personal Issues

Amanda Bynes was one of our favorite childhood sweethearts. From All That to The Amanda Show, from Big Fat Liar to What a Girl Wants, we all loved Amanda’s movies. She was our beloved Amanda! These days, she’s quite the bombshell. You’ve almost assuredly heard of Amanda’s troubles; like many child stars, Amanda had a lot of problems with drugs and alcohol, and got herself in a good bit of trouble. But she’s definitely recovering and doing what she can to get her career back on the right track. She hasn’t acted or modeled in six years, but she’s hoping to change that soon!

5. James Van Der Beek – No Longer A Douche

James got his start on Dawson’s Creek as Dawson Leery, a fluffy haired dream boat for any young lady looking to plaster their walls with posters of cute guys. These days, he is dreamier than ever. James is a series regular on CSI: Cyber and he looks like he’s content to stick with that for now. However, if he wanted, he could do some great work in chick flicks playing the one that got away. He has only gotten better with age! You wouldn’t have guessed how hot he is from the role he played in How I Met Your Mother (Robin’s ex-boyfriend, Simon), but he has stayed super hot as he’s gotten older!  

6. Michelle Trachtenberg – Remember Buffy’s Little Sister?

Remember Michelle? She played Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s little sister, Dawn Summers. She’s starred as a regular in several series since then but, more importantly, she’s gotten older and hotter. She’s got a classic beauty, though she can look pretty scandalous when she wants to. She’s still acting and making plenty of movies. You’ll see her later this year in a movie called Sister Cities, in fact. She’s done plenty of modeling, voice acting, comedic work, dramatic roles, and more. It’s easy to find her work wherever you look and whatever interests you, from Robot Chicken to Weeds.

 7. Joseph Gordon-Levitt – He’s Far From The “Sun”

Joseph has stayed so busy, it’s easy to forget that he got his start as a young actor in the ’90s! Remember his roles in Roseanne, 10 Things I Hate About You, or Dark Shadows? He was plenty busy as a young actor, but he’s stayed busy as he’s gotten older, smarter, and sexier. Joseph likes to do a mix of everything when he acts. You can see him in hilarious comedies like The Night Before, or intense dramas, like his upcoming role in Snowden. He likes to do a lot of original work, and has his own TV show where he gets independent artists attention (check out HitRecord). His adorable smile is enough to charm any lady!

8. Christina Applegate – Got Her Start On Married With Children

Christina got her start on the sitcom Married With Children as the ditsy and slightly promiscuous teenage daughter. She was one of the only tolerable characters on the show (the others were unbearably annoying caricatures) and she was the embodiment of ridiculous ’90s era fashion. Since then, she’s gone on to better and sexier days. You can see Christina in a number of modern day comedies, including Anchorman, Vacation, and Hall Pass. She’s stayed very busy as of late, despite her breast cancer diagnosis and taking care of her family. Not only is this woman fine as hell, but she is a force to be reckoned with. Keep your eyes open for her latest projects, Bad Moms and Crash Pad.
