The '90s pencil-thin brow trend is making a comeback—but there's one big problem with it

A spokesperson for Fresha, who found the data, said: “Thin eyebrows are a fashion statement. Love them or hate them, thin brows have been in the spotlight since the 1920s, when silent film stars drew defined, slightly downward-drawn brows to accentuate their expressions.

“Thanks to models like Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, thin brows were a fashion staple in the 1990s.

“In 2024, thin eyebrows will experience a renaissance. Doja Cat and Zendaya, for example, both walked the red carpet at the 2024 MET Gala with arched, delicate eyebrows.

“Grammy Award-winning artist Taylor Swift has also embraced the rebirth of thin brows by sporting high, stenciled brows in her new music video “Fortnight.”

“However, it is important to note that the thin brows are unique this year. Despite their similarities, the thin eyebrows of 2024 are tighter, lifted and more proportional than those of the 1920s or 1990s.

“It will be interesting to see how this branch of the timeless fashion trend evolves in the coming years.”
