It’s 1991 for me – iconic.
She has such beautiful eyes.
Winona has been my long time style girl crush due to her gothness. Her 2022 look for
Whoops let’s finish that comment! Inspired 2022 Marc Jacobs look! Love it so much.
2005 and 2016 for me
oh wow she’s the face of MJ! so cool! Lovely article to read thanks bh. 🙂 can’t wait to see what she does next
Yes she looks amazing
She looks great!
Apart from that 2020 makeup look, Winona looks amazing and stylish
It looks as if she had ran a marathon on the pouring rain at that pic. She is always pretty though.
yes that is probably the worst look but then her eyes are so stunning I don’t think you would notice
That was my least favourite look, too.
She has aged really well and still looks so much like her younger self.
I liked all those looks on her except for the 2020 pic. she’s just so stunning
I like all the longer styles , 2016 would be my favourite I think.
I like them all and she is lucky that she can wear her hair in any style and still look so good.
Wow that 2020 pic doesn’t even look like her. She still looks gorgeous.
She is so cute.
I think we’re missing a key Winona look in this list – Lydia in Beetlejuice.
I was looking for that one too, Merry!
I like the 1989 photo, perhaps because it’s in black and white.
I like the punk look but really with her stunning eyes any hair style suits her . She is amazing and her eyes are to die for!!
The 2022 Goth look & 1991 Dita von Teese looks are my faves. I’ve always loved her.
