Madonna In The 80s
Madonna, who to this very day is still quite popular, was one of the top pop icons of the 80s. In this article, I would like to explore this topic further with you.
Madonna had a huge influence over fashion back in the 80s. Women everywhere idolized her and strove to copy her look as much as possible. Madonna actually had a number of different looks back in the 80s, and she was constantly re-inventing herself. Her ever-changing styles certainly peaked everyone’s interest, and I think that has been a major factor in why her career has lasted so long. Everyone is always excited to see what look she is going to come up with next!
With Madonna who is never dull and boring, you can always expect the unexpected. One of her most popular hairstyles from the 80’s was the wavy hair with blonde highlights. During this time, women showed up in droves at their local salons so that they too could get this look. Madonna made this style, which often included hair being pulled back in bows, famous in her Desperately Seeking Susan movie. This look was also featured in her Borderline music video. She also was one of the celebrities that first inspired the messy chic look of the 80’s.
This style included the layered look and many accessories. Madonna was famous for her long dangly earrings which often had crosses on them or other religious symbols. Toward the end of the 80’s, she showcased a very provocative vixen type style by wearing things such as pointed bustiers. She worked hard to be in a great shape and was not shy about showing her body off by wearing revealing clothes both on stage and in her music videos. She thrilled her fans with not only her fabulous appearance but also with her raunchy on stage antics.
Madonna has always believed in having the freedom to express herself, and in doing so, she has often caused a lot of controversy. For example, Pepsi cancelled the sponsorship of her tour due to her Like a Prayer video. This is because they found the images of religion as well as rape to be quite offensive. However, that particular video and song went on to be one of Madonna’s biggest hits.
