1981—Side Ponytail
Often regarded as the ever-changing style chameleon and master of disguise, Queen of Pop Madonna began her reign in the early 80s, with smash hits such as Lucky Star and Like a Virgin.And it was her fashion and style efforts that made just as much of a splash as her records and singing talents—and for good reason.
1981 saw popularity surge for the side ponytail, a look very much inspired by the Material Girl herself—and one that would continue for many years to come.
1982—Feathered Bangs
1982 continued to push further and further into unchartered fashion and style territory, with these wavy feathered bangs, modeled here by celebrity icon Priscilla Presley.
Sure, we had seen waves before, but when it came to bangs, they’d always been kept a little more under control, straightened out or swept to the side.
But this was the 80s! All fashion rules were thrown out of the window, and bangs were left to grow freely and as wildly as they liked.
