When it comes to eyebrows: “The fuller, the better” is the mantra of the moment. (Thank you, Cara Delevingne.) But this was not always the case. Remember the ‘90s and early aughts? Thin was in. We’ve been witness to an eyebrow evolution, but what style is truly best? Here, we take a look at some celebrity brows, past and present, so you can be the judge.

In 1999, Kate Hudson was preparing to play Penny Lane in Almost Famous and rocking some pencil thin brows.

 Christina Ricci

Today she prefers a thicker look, but in 2001, Christina Ricci was a lot more heavy-handed with her pluckers.

 Gwen Stefani

In 1996, the No Doubt front-woman was “Just a Girl” with some seriously drawn-on brows.

 

Beyoncé

Beyoncé’s arches were not as thin as some, but in 2000, they were light enough to match her ultra-blonde locks.

 

Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba’s current brows are nothing wild, but there is still a lot more hair there than in '99.

 

Jennifer Lopez

Since 1997, J.Lo has ditched her curls, lightened her locks, and grown out her dark brows.

 

Angelina Jolie

In 2000, before Angelina Jolie was mom of the year, she opted for super thin arches.

 

Cameron Diaz

In 1997, Cameron Diaz was filming There's Something About Mary, a film about the perfect girl (with less than perfect eyebrows?).

Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron may still have the same short hairstyle she did in 2000, but her brows have definitely grown out.
