1. Party girl, glamorous movie star, or conservative mother of two? Madonna’s image has changed more times than we can count. Throughout her long career, she has managed to stay ahead of everyone else and set new style trends every step on the way.
2. When she first started out as a club singer, she was wearing funky lace dresses, black rubber bracelets, and lots of necklaces. By 1985, she was so popular that many young girls were copying her look. The news media began to call these girls Madonna Wannabes, or girls who want to be like Madonna.
3. In 1987 the singer began her Who’s That Girl? world tour. The new album and music videos showed a radical transformation for the former party girl. She cut her long hair and dyed it blonde, as she took on a more classic look.
4. Madonna continued to change her image as she began to appear in films. For the film Dick Tracy in 1990, she became a glamorous blonde film star. In 1995, she changed the colour of her eyes to brown for the film Evita.
5. After the birth of her first child, Lourdes, in 1996, Madonna had another makeover, taking on the new image of a mother. Then Madonna married British film director Guy Ritchie and had her second child, Rocco, in 2000. During her Drowned World tour, her husband and children travelled with her, and her changes in Madonna’s lifestyle, as well as her appearance, became clear to everyone. She no longer went to parties after concerts but went straight back to the hotel to spend time with her children. She once said “Love is more important than fame, money, and being with beautiful people.”
6. After more than twenty years of singing and acting, Madonna is still one of the world’s most popular stars. Her fans are always amazed at how she can make so many changes and never go out of style.
