Non celebrity
These are pictures of a girl from home who has paid for a couple of photoshoots and I think some of her images relate in a way, but in a more modern way.
Taking one element, the glove, and isolating and exploiting it
Grudgey street shots...ripped clothing and crinkled hair
I think these are a good follow on from Madonna to Material Girl at Macy's, model Taylor
Momsen...Niamh MacAuley in an locationed editorial style shoot.
The above shoot has the "good girl gone bad" vibe, it has the cigarettes,
implied drink, leather boots, stockings, lace, gloves, jewellery, red lips, dark eyes and everything else
but in a real cool, up to date way. I also want to point out the straight hair...mad curls would
have been overkill to this shoot.
Below is more of a friend of a friend. Lucy has a really unique dress
sense and she would have had loads to look at but I don't know her too well and we're not friends
on Facebook so these are all of what I could find to talk about from profile pictures,
Calmer, curly hair with a rocky/punk feel?
Statement jewellery, layered necklaces, layered tops...
Instead of a leather jacket, velvet? Crinkled hair..
Hair accessories and lacy corset
Celebrity
Good girl gone bad??
Rihanna.
Leather and studs
Next to Madonna...similarities.
Blazer, Shoulder detail, sunglasses, red lips, neon colours...
Not a fan of this outfit but we have leather gloves, lace underwear, neon nails, big jewellery and boots
Experiment with colours and patterns...hair accessories, big earrings, layered necklaces, blazer....half leggings? and that top is very similar to what Susan wore in her first shot.
Jessie J
Didn't find a lot straight away for her but this image just made me think about how we can have fun
with make up and bcd to the British notion I had earlier
Madonna type bodice..patterned tights
Use of coloured lights!! In green.
Cindy Lauper
Girls just want to have fun...
Like I said in my first post, Madonna got confused for Cindy before her own fame occurred.
Back combed hair, jewellery, rockfish top but more muted makeup in terms of her lips
A more modern look. Vivid colours but with the punk vibe. Red lips, decorative eyes and
masculine touch with tie and waist coat. Sleeker hair.
Lady GaGa
Lady GaGa has been classed as a "Madonnabe" after the many similarities in their
dress sense, music and music videos.

Whether or not this is true is down to opinion but there are clear similarities
obviously due to inspiration. Lady GaGa has taken some of the elements
that makes up Madonna's style and has changed and altered and pushed it all to the limit.
Below are some images I feel have been based on the 80s in some way.
Shoulder padding
Hair bows
Leather jackets
Red lips
Studs
Glasses
Hair
Makeup
Headband
The above four stills taken from "Edge of Glory" has a very early days MTV feel and shows
very well how unrealistic coloured lighting can be used effectively.
And finally, below is how Lady GaGa mixes Roberta like peach colours with Susan's
signature leather. This also shows how keeping glasses but using a different shape can make a
new but relatable look.
These are just examples. I think it's important to look at how other people could have interpreted what we've seen or just make something similar without having seen it at all.
