Kate Moss Auditions For L'Oreal (VIDEO)

There's no shortage of fantastic vintage videos just waiting to be dug up on Youtube (Exhibit A: royal babies). But while some videos lay dormant for months, some magically pop up on the righthand side of our screen and totally make our day.

Today, the vintage video making us smile are these old school audition tapes from around 1996, in which a very young, very bare-faced Kate Moss tosses her hair for L'Oreal.

The woman holding the camera tells her to state her name and asks if she currently has any hair ad campaigns in the US -- no, not yet.

But by the way Kate deftly flips her hair, bats her lashes and makes eyes at the camera, you can tell she's going to land one very, very soon.

WATCH the two audition tapes... and the 1996 commercial they likely landed her:

Even if she isn't a great beauty to some, you have to admit two things. One, she is not unattractive. Two, she has remarkable comfort and confidence in front of a camera. Not an easy thing to do.

1996?! Wow, I was 20 years old then. That DOES make ME old! I remember when she started, when I used to read SEVENTEEN Magazine when I was in high school. Wow, long time ago!

I have never seen the "beauty" in this girl. She is much more "girl next door" and there is nothing wrong with that, but when I see her called a beauty and a fashion icon, I just don't get it.

Her face is very sweetly beautiful.

I liked how she looked back then, not how she looks now. They got her too "glammed up" now.

well it's easy to see why she became a successful model... I have to laugh that they use the word vintage in reference to the year 1996, especially in light of the fact that I have a 'vintage' book ( oeuvres de Virgile ) currently sitting right next to my laptop with a publication date of 1796

Lol, I was thinking the same thing. Vintage to me would be Twiggy filmed in black and white.

I have never understood the allure of Kate. She's ordinary at best.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I thinks she has a beautiful face; high cheek bones, beautiful eyes, hair. How I wish I could go back to 19 w/ the "wisdom" I have now. oy.

And here I had always thought it was the heroin that made her unattractive.

Interesting what 15 years of living on cigarettes and cocaine will do to someone.

Here I thought she looked good for the amount of substance abuse she has engaged in
