80s Madonna Fancy Dress Costume

Like A Virgin outfit
80s Pop Star Costume for Ladies

I'm going to start with costumes based on Madonna's outfit from the film Desperately Seeking Susan.

Available in five sizes from 8 to 26, this fabulous Madonna style costume includes a jacket with leopard print detail, a matching black top, black tutu, black lace gloves, necklace and hairpin. I found three suppliers selling this outfit at Amazon.com (use the link above), but it is more widely available and cheaper at the UK store.

You can actually compare suppliers for this item at Amazon.co.uk using the comparison list you can also the customer ratings for each supplier.

For the very best value both in the UK and US, I highly recommend trying ebay where there are plenty of suppliers selling not only this costume, but many other Madonna costumes, too, and the prices are the best I've seen.

Below are all of the different items I found at Amazon UK. The first five are the best value and available at very low prices, and you may prefer the third and fourth outfits with the dungarees which actually is the most authentic choice in terms of looking like Madonna in the film. It's also useful if you're not comfortable with showing off your legs, of course.



However, there is no doubt that you may find even cheaper prices on ebay where many of the leading fancy dress suppliers all have their own stores. A price of around £13.99 is available for sizes up to 14, although for sizes above this you can expect to pay around £18.


Please note that the blonde, spiral perm wig is not included with any outfit.

The costume captures Madonna's Desperately Seeking Susan movie look (from 1985) perfectly, and it has also been a popular choice at my website - visit the Madonna fancy dress page at simplyeighties.com for more costume ideas.

 Alternative Costumes


These outfits also borrow heavily from Madonna's style and are available at very decent prices. The first outfit includes the skirt, lace top, vest, leggings and belt and is for sizes 16-18. The second costume includes a tank top, lace over blouse, pants (with belt) and the skirt - it looks very 80s! Annoyingly, no size is given but I would suggest that it is a standard size (10-12).

Madonna Accessories


For an even more complete Madonna style, then you will definitely want to add a crucifix necklace;. Please note that some costumes come with a necklace and others do not, so check the details before ordering.


Although not an official Madonna fancy dress accessory, the first cross is great value and has been receiving good customer reviews. Although more expensive, the second cross also includes the beaded necklaces.

Blondie - Debbie Harry - 70s and 80s Fashion Photos

Embed from Getty Images Debbie Harry Fridge Magnet Back in my school days (yes, it was a long, long time ago!) many kids associated Blondie purely with lead singer Debbie Harry, although Blondie was actually a band, and a damn fine one, too. It's not hard to see why. After all, she oozed sex appeal and became a style icon, and many of her looks can still be seen on the high street today. Harry's designer friend Stephen Sprouse can claim responsibility for many of those looks. He created every style you can imagine using denim, black leather biker jackets, camoflauge, wayfarer and aviator shades, pink and girly styles, nautical stripes, animal print catsuits - the list goes on! I find it amusing that in 1998 Britney Spears caused controversy by wearing a school uniform for her video "Hit Me Baby One More Time". How quickly we forget that Debbie Harry had done this two decades earlier! After forming in 1974, Blondie became pioneers of the punk and new wave s

An 80s Tennis Player Costume? You Cannot Be Serious!

While most people opt for a pop star theme when dressing up for an 80s party or event, one option that is a little more original is to dress like an 80s tennis player. The costumes I'm about to show are obviously based on John McEnroe, and I'm dead serious! The short-tempered tennis star became infamous for his confrontational behaviour towards the umpire during the 1980s, screaming "Answer my question! The question, jerk!" (when he angrily threw his racket at the juice cart) and "You can't be serious man, you cannot be serious!" when he thought the umpire had made a bad call about the ball being out. He was often booed by the crowds for his rants, but it was hugely entertaining to watch! Embed from Getty Images The look above is the one you should aim for, and this is the most iconic. So let's take a look at the fancy dress costume options available...   The white T-shirt and shorts outfit with red and blue stripes is based on McEnroe&

Create an 80s or 90s Acid House - Raver Look

With its squelching bass sounds (often created using a Roland TB-303 bass synth) and minimalist production, the sound of acid house first became popular in the latter half of the 80s, starting in 1987. The media were more focused on the illegal raves and psychedelic drugs, but in reality, a good many young folk enjoyed dancing to the new sound in nightclubs (including myself) without going anywhere near any drugs or illegal raves. What is synonymous with the acid house scene is the smiley face logo, and the T-shirt featuring the logo, along with tie dye and psychedelic clothing, and bucket hats which became popular with ravers. Baggy over the knee shorts were popular with men. Bandanas and dungarees/dungaree shorts were also worn by both sexes. Some ravers also had  yellow whistles . In the early 90s,  white overalls , hooded anoracks and  yellow dust masks with an "E" , smiley face or radiation symbol also became part of the rave scene. Initially, the dust masks we
