Christina was promoting her role as care assistant Misty Quigley in Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson’s critically-acclaimed 10-episode survival drama Yellowjackets, which premiered Sunday on Showtime.

The moderator Jen Chaney asked Ricci what her favorite part of the nineties was during the Yellowjackets Q&A.

‘I wore a lot of Carhartt pants and baby tees and I really enjoyed that,’ the Cali-born, New Jersey-raised actress said.

‘I miss what was sort of popular and considered alluring at the time for women, which was really being as interesting as possible and contributing as much and not being overtly sexual – you didn’t have to look like porn stars to be considered sexually viable. It was about being tough and artistic and interesting.’
