▲Queen of the '80s herself, Madonna truly embodied the style and fashion of the decade with her permed hair and heavy makeup.

▲Big, wavy hair hits the streets once again this time on the head of this iconic '80s diva.

▲With that headband, big hair, and earrings to match, Cher was truly an '80s fashion icon!

▲The ladies of Heart were big-haired '80s rock stars!

▲One pioneer of new wave music, which was extremely popular in the '80s, was Debbie Harry's band Blondie.

▲English pop singer Kim Wilde was also on trend in the '80s with her big, messy, wavy hair, and earrings.

▲Again, here we see another diva certainly in fashion with the decade: big curly hair, large earrings, and heavy makeup! Blue eye shadow with a red lip? Yeesh!

▲Here is Nancy Wilson, also sporting big, wavy, '80s hair.

▲Why did the divas of the '80s ever think that pairing blue eye shadow and a red lip was a good look?! Oh, and the wildly crimped yellow hair on Cyndi Lauper doesn't help!

▲In the '80s Kylie Minogue also rocked a hint of blue eyeshadow, a dark lip, and an oversized blazer. But she pulled it off! We love '80s Kylie!

▲This '80s diva was known for playing Coco Hernandez in the 1980 film 'Fame.'

▲And not much has changed today! She is another '80s diva who has aged amazingly beautifully.

▲Turner sadly passed away in 2023 at the age of 83, but she rocked a red lip and big hair into her golden years.

▲Today, these sisters still rock but in a much more modern way. Their fashion is up-to-date and the hair? Not as big!

▲We just have one question: has this woman aged? Minogue looks just as stunning today as she did in the '80s! How?! Let us in on your secret, Kylie!

▲She still has somewhat big hair, but certainly wears her curls much looser. Oh, and she's ditched the headbands!

▲Today, she rocks a more current look as seen here in a stylish moto jacket, dark glasses, and purse to match! Way cool.

▲Now we see your true colors, Cyndi! Today, we can see the singer with a toned down hair color. She has some subtle pink and blues in her hair, which certainly works much better than the bright yellow dye job she had back then. Her makeup is phenomenally ten times better with a beautiful matte red lip to match her gorgeous blazer. Now that's how you do red lipstick!

▲Sade was an absolute stunner in the '80s!

▲Nowadays, Streisand rocks a much more fashionable haircut: sleek, straight, and parted down the middle. Work it, Barb!

▲Harry has aged quite gracefully, still rocking her signature blonde this time in an icier hue.

▲Well, one thing Dolly Parton hasn't lost is the big hair! She is sort of famous for it, even today. But she certainly toned it down a bit with the makeup, such as here where she is seen wearing a light pink gloss on her lips and eye shadow to match.

▲Nowadays, she wears a more relaxed, loose hairstyle.

▲

My, my, what a difference years makes! The singer looks much more elegant today.

▲

And she is still quite the singing superstar today!

▲

We have to admit, Alison Moyet in the '80s looked a little frumpy. The loose baggy sweater and hat isn't our favorite look!

▲

Tina Turner was known for her spiky locks and epic makeup in the '80s.

▲

Big, crimped hair, awful makeup, and crazy plastic jewelry. Let's face it: '80s fashion wasn't the greatest, in retrospect. Yet there were some 80s divas who rocked the fashions of the times and others who failed beyond words!

Madonna went through a more toned-down period for many years, wearing her hair in loose blonde curls. However, as of 2023, she has entered a new era of provocation! Fans were surprised by her new look at the Grammys, but no doubt the Queen of Pop is merely at the forefront of a new trend.

Typical of the '80s, Paula Abdul rocked big curls.
