Frances Bean Cobain Revives '90s Grunge Beauty at 'The Deputy' Screening

Frances Bean Cobain brought a full '90s beauty homage to the Tuesday screening of the film The Deputy, for which she serves as executive producer. The daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love rarely walks red carpets, but her makeup at the event signaled she embraces the decade she was born into.

The beauty look centered on the lip. Cobain wore a brown-leaning glossy lipstick with visibly darker liner — the defining lip combination of '90s grunge. Allure notes that "nothing feels more '90s to the casual beauty historian than a brown-leaning lipstick with visibly darker liner." Her interpretation reads more as homage than imitation, according to the outlet, but still evokes the era's angsty mood.

The rest of the makeup stayed fresh-faced and warm. She wore a hint of glowy — not shimmery — bronze on her cheeks and lids, plus generous mascara with no discernible liner. Her hair sat straight, shiny and side-parted, left down to flow freely.

The styling reinforced the same reference points. Cobain paired a distressed, vintage Elvira tee with an oversized brown leather jacket — both squarely grunge — and super-short lace shorts that recall the babydoll trend of the mid-'90s. White knee-high boots nodded to the era's mod revival. Even her handmade orchid bag charm carried piercings true to the period.

Allure points out that Cobain has every right to celebrate her own industry wins, and this appearance did exactly that. Whether she becomes a red-carpet regular remains open — but as Allure puts it, "she's clearly indicated that she's ready to deliver in the beauty-inspo department."
