OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN HOPELESSLY OUT OF FASHION
1989
Australian pop singer Olivia Newton-John and her husband, Matt Lattanzi, for better or for worse, really nailed 80s fashion.
Big, Blonde hair made any girl a pinup in the “bigger is better” 80s
</trong>An extra-wide collar</strong> In white lace contrasted with the shiny black material of the rest of the gown. Exaggerated detalis such as this collar were a common feature of 80s styles.
By the end of the decade tight fiting garments had come back into fashion as evidenced by this fitted Bodice. Blouses were no longer “in” when it came to evening wear.
</trong>Big, silver buttons</strong> fit in with the “more is more” mentality of the decade.
To match her extra-wide collar Newton-John had to have an equally voluminous skirt, an ironic throwback to the 50s.
