Cyndi Lauper’s Most Eccentric ‘80s Style Moments
On her 70th birthday, take a look at the “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” singer’s best looks during the ‘80s.
Throughout the pop icon’s four-decade-long career, Cyndi Lauper has taken no breaks as a singer-songwriter and activist. Initially a part of the band Blue Angel, Lauper shifted gears and emerged in the ‘80s music scene with her solo debut album She's So Unusual. All eyes were on the neon-haired, eclectically dressed star, who shortly received numerous accolades for her work. Lauper’s legendary hits, “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” "Time After Time," and "True Colors” remain as unforgettable anthems that epitomized the ‘80s and ‘90s.
Along with the likes of Madonna, Lauper was known for her distinctive, free-spirited image that was influenced by bold trends of the ‘80s. With an armful of stacked bracelets, bright-colored locks, and retro-cut dresses and skirts, Lauper blended the boldness of the ‘80s with punk-rock elements when it came to her ensembles.
Outside of her music career, the star has tirelessly shown her commitment towards the LGBTQA+ community. Lauper co-established the True Colors Fund, a nonprofit organization aimed to address the issue of youth homelessness among the LGBTQA+ community.
