Madonna in the 80s

80's ads

Madonna in the 80's was a pop teeny bopper turned bad girl. You can see this trend of development in artist like Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears in the late 90's.

In the early to mid-80's, Madonna's style had a more subtle sexy appeal compared to her very controversial, sexual, taboo pushing image she portrayed in the late 80's and 90's.

List for Madonna (early-mid) 80's style:

You can see her style in full force in a movie called "Desperately Seeking Susan". You'll see her chewing gum with a worldly, crass New York swagger. She wore her trademark lace gloves, girly bandana partially hidden in her teased, puddle hair.

She always seems to make her tacky rubber bracelets and huge Catholic cross work.

When you "cool" was set to 10, she was in her dark Ray Bans with hair pulled back and full of the latest ozone destroyer. She'd wear deliciously slutty lace tops underneath a chic dressy jacket.

In her 80's Lucky Star video, Madonna is wearing her trademark head gear (this time a big black bow). She is wearing fingerless laced gloves and sleeveless net top of a black tank top. At first I thought she was wearing black high tops but actually she is wearing ballet shoes and some type of thick socks.

Madonna in the Late 80's was very different. By 86' Madonna was an Icon, a household name. She donned her cone bras and bleach blonde hair. She was about to push her image to a whole new level. Her controversy won't hit it peek until the 90's.

In Open Your Heart she is at a peep show dancing for customers and a little boy just happens to see the show.

In Express Yourself she is pushing the limits of what is considered sexually acceptible in the United States.

In Like Prayer she goes beyond what many consider acceptible... she is sensually kissing black Jesus (LOL).

This video is a work of art. What is incredible about Madonna in the 80's is that she was fearless in breaking people's comfortable little realities. That is what true art is all about.
