The eighties are back in fashion this fall – for about the umpteenth time since they went away! But that’s okay, we love them anyway – as long as we don’t have to live in them again. But a little shoulder pad action and a tight skirt can never be a bad thing – right?
One of our favorite eighties fashion moments was Madonna in her “True Blue” persona – cropped platinum hair, deep red lips, and her Gaultier cone bra and high boots. Well, when you see the new issue of V Magazine this week, you’ll do a double take when you see the cover – of Cameron Diaz – and inside spread. Photographers Mert & Marcus (Louis Vuitton ads) shot Ms. Diaz a la Madonna in her “True Blue” moment – with tattoos (painted on on the set), in Prada shorts and boots, and a cone bra made by a stylist in London – from gaffer tape. Kids, don’t try this at home – unless you’re stylist Jen Rade.
We gotta say, Cameron’s done a lot of covers recently, always in her sunny smiley California girl mode, but we REALLY like her tough Madonna look – her body is her best feature, and this spread really features that. We know we’ve been talking a lot about V Magazine lately, but they’ve got some great visuals you might not see otherwise, www.vmagazine.com. W Magazine had Ginnifer Goodwin going eighties – V has Cameron Diaz. What does this tell you?
