Drew Barrymore recently took her fans on a nostalgic trip back to the '90s, sharing a throwback photo that captured a beauty trend many remember all too well—the skinny eyebrows.
The actress and talk show host, renowned for her iconic roles and unique style, posted a snapshot on Instagram from October 24, 1994, when she was just 19 years old.
In the image, Drew sports a strawberry-blonde pixie cut, brown lipstick, and those famously thin eyebrows that defined a decade.
Accompanying the photo, Drew joked about her relationship with her tweezers at the time, saying, “My tweezers and I were best friends at this time in my life!”
This candid glimpse into her past also showed her wearing a casual white striped top and a colorful beaded necklace, casually capturing the essence of ‘90s fashion.
The post quickly resonated with her fans, sparking a flurry of comments. One user wrote, “It's ok though, because so was everyone else, love,” recognizing the widespread fashion trend of the time.

“Hands down, the thin eyebrows in the '90s." She humorously added, "I'm still recovering from that.”
