Then vs Now: the rock chick look
Women have come a long way from the 80’s. No more are they enslaved and relegated to set dressing status. Nowadays they are liberated from the domination of lounge lizardish lead singers, Cruella deVil maquillage…
skirts…
Is this a new austerity program? Instead of foolishly spending money on classy beautiful clothes for the red carpet, just wear your undies? Or was this a “working girl” gathering?
And if you think about it, the Robert Palmer Girls were considered to be the epitome of hotness in their time. And comparing both pictures, I still think they are. Sometimes, more is, well, more.
Plus, I really don’t get the ubiquitous “no pants” look.
I agree, the Robert Palmer girls were much sexier (so much so that when I saw the picture and realized half the skirts were knee-length, I did a double-take; I remember it being much more shocking than it seems now).
Also, what is it with everyone wanting to look like a two-bit Kardashian nowadays? Honestly, do you think you could tell the bottom band members apart if you saw them in a police lineup?
I was born ´71 and whenever i saw the Palmer girls, i thought: “When i´m grown up, i want to look like them.” I hope girls today don´t want to look like, well, who are they anyway?
They are “The Saturdays” but what’s the point of learning their names when they’re really just Pussycat Dolls Mark V or VI?
Which reminds me of the time I was reading a small town newspaper’s fashion column, the highlight of which was the time the columnist got mistaken for a member of the Pussycat Dolls.
Not! A! Good! Look!
