Ahh, the 80’s, a time when a ton of things were much simpler. Reagan was President, dance-pop music became more popular than disco (finally!), and computers were ridiculously ginormous. Oh yeah, the fashion was also extremely bold and not in a good way – fanny packs, scrunchies, huge earrings, and parachute pants. Yikes. Many of these trends were popularized by some of our favorite film and TV stars, just take a look and let the flashbacks hit.
Madonna
The Queen of Pop kicks off this list in style! Madonna quickly rose to fame after pushing boundaries with some of her earlier music videos, especially where her first album, released in 1983, is concerned.

Since the 80’s, Madonna continues to release hit after hit and with Rebel Heart as her 13th album released, there’s plenty more to come. Madonna will forever be a cultural icon.
Kim Basinger
This actress, singer and former fashion model got her acting start following a successful modeling career in New York during the 70’s, she then moved to Los Angeles where it all began. Basinger came to prominence playing a Bond girl, Domino Petachi, in the 1983 film Never Say Never Again, opposite of the dreamy Sean Connery.
