1990s – The Waif
By now, you should have already seen the pattern in these body ideal trends. It seems like the following decade is always a reaction to the one before it. We saw the waif become popular in the ‘90s. This type of woman was short and thin with few curves, if she had any. Some people call this look “heroin chic.” As you can see, this is really different from what the ideal body in the ‘80s.

Talented And Gorgeous – Winona Ryder
If you are looking for a woman that would fit that description, look no further! Winona Ryder is the poster child of this look. The gamine had a round, doll-like face and delicate shoulders, pretty much a lollipop build. Her costar Ben Stiller once said, “She’s like a little figurine for the coffee table!“ This likely helped her career to some extent. Of course, she is a talented actress at the same time.
