Melrose Place was great for a lot of things: Upping the drama of any given situation, for one. Offering much needed how-to's—like how to win a verbal smack-down or wear lip-liner almost without looking crazy—for another (thanks Heather Locklear). Also, the show is a veritable time-capsule for '90s fashion, which, as everyone knows, is the best kind of time capsule. In honor of the show's 20th anniversary, our sister site Racked LA has collected the five best style moments to satisfy your nostalgic needs for today and forever. We suggest you check it out.
