All About The 80s


Well known for her love of retro styles, singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor chose a pink spotted dress for a gig at Cafe des Paris. Taking over from Kate Moss as the new face of Rimmel London, Sophie contrasts sultry eyelined flicks with this girlish, drop-waisted dress.

Showing off her star potential, Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere sets out to shine at a party in LA wearing a crushed lamé mini dress matched with gold Christian Louboutin heels. The simple shape and Hayden's punchy red lips keeps this retro look just the right side of contemporary.

BAFTA award-winning actress Kristin Scott Thomas bumps the typical red carpet dress for a sophisticated take on the jumpsuit. We're on the fence as to how much the look actually suits the elegant star, however, matching gold accessories and statement platform heels certainly help.

Looking like an '80s pop icon, Kate Bosworth pushes the boundaries of style with a dazzling, tier skirted silver dress and suitably frizzy hair. Such a futuristic look would be a loss on most, however, besides Kate's natural beauty, her other saving grace is that this dress comes courtesy of Chanel.

No Pretty in Pink prom scene or Working Girls party was complete in the '80s without a sheeny taffeta number. Bringing the look into the noughties, Jessica Biel intrepidly tries out this drop-waisted, asymmetric black taffeta dress from Louis Vuitton for the Easy Virtue film premiere.

Never afraid to try the edgiest styles, model Agyness Deyn gives this uneven, tiered polka dot dress a whirl. Worn with a leather jacket and lashings of lace, her outfit is reminiscent of Madonna ruling New York in her Desperately Seeking Susan days.
