Bel-Air Energy, Seattle Swagger: The NFM 90s Seahawks Gala Dress Code Decoded

You’re not dressing for a throwback party, you’re dressing for the cover of your own 90s comeback.

Think elevated nostalgia, not Halloween chic.

The ‘90s are having a moment, but at Fresh Prints of Club-Air (aka, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air NFM edition) for this year's NFM Seahawks Gala, they’re getting a glow-up. This isn’t your average themed party. It’s part gala, part fashion flex, part cultural remix, and all attitude.

Whether you’re aiming for Bel-Air polish or downtown cool, the key is to nod to the decade without drowning in it. We’re channeling inspiration, not imitation.

🎧 1. The NFM 90s Seahawks Gala Moodboard: Nostalgia, Remastered

The 90s were diverse with minimalism and maximalism, grunge and glam, streetwear and slip dresses. Your job? Curate a look that honors your inner 90s icon while staying true to 2025’s style codes.

• Think Aaliyah x Rihanna, Clueless x Cult Gaia, Biggie x Balenciaga.

• Pair a mesh top with wide-leg trousers and heels.

• Mix luxe textures: satin slip dresses with chain belts and kitten mules.

📸 Pro Tip: If you look like you could walk a runway in 1997 or 2025, you nailed it.

🎤 2. The Fashion Formula: 90s Influence, Modern Intent

Here’s how to remix the decade without being a cliché:

• Skip the wigs. We’re not cosplaying, we’re embodying.

• Choose iconic silhouettes like:

  • Baggy suits (oversized blazers, wide-leg trousers)

  • Crop tops + maxi skirts

  • Tube dresses with chokers

• Elevate the fabrics. Go for velvet, silk, leather, and sheer panels.

• Shoes? Think platforms, square toes, or strappy heels with attitude.

👜 Finish the look with mini bags, tinted sunnies, or bold gold hoops.

🧢 3. For the Guys: Carlton Could Never

Men, this is your moment to go full smooth operator with swagger.

• Suit Up, but make it street: Oversized suiting in jewel tones, pinstripes, or neutral earth shades.

• Varsity meets VIP: Think silk bomber jackets, leather trench coats, or golf-core done right.

• Footwear: Retro Jordans, polished loafers, or minimalist Chelsea boots.

💡 Bonus points for monochrome fits with statement chains or retro sunnies.

💋 4. Hair, Makeup & Accessories: All in the Details

You know what makes a 90s look scream editorial and not costume? Precision.

• Hair: Tendrils, messy buns, half-up styles, zig-zag parts, or flat-ironed sleekness.

• Makeup: Brown lip liner + gloss, frosty eyeshadow, heavy lashes, or matte skin with bold blush.

• Jewelry: Layered chains, chokers, anklets, body glitter if you dare, but make it fashion.

🕶 5. Glam Codes to Remember:

• ✖ No inflatable boomboxes.

• ✖ No “Saved by the Bell” bodysuits.

• ✖ No overdone character looks (we’re not all dressing as Will or Cher).

• ✔ Yes to luxe nostalgia, personal twists, and glam with a wink.

💫 Final Word: Dress Like You Belong on the Cover

The best looks at Fresh Prints of Club-Air will feel like 90s... but photograph like now. Think red carpet confidence with a throwback playlist.

Your look should whisper ‘90s icon’... not scream ‘spirit week. Because legends aren’t made in Halloween costumes. They’re made in unforgettable entrances.
