There are a lot of teen stars and adult actors that really had that 80s look to a T...here's my selection:

Kirk Cameron......curly mullet, tongued sneakers, tight jeans, fedoras, and pretty boy looks

Anyone from the Facts of Life. lol.

Don Johnson from Miami Vice, the white suit and stubbly beard.

As much as either hates or loves this character/actor from Happy Days or Lucas Was Here, you have to give Scott Baio(Chachi, Lucas) some credit. He really did start the whole 80s working class kid look before the style was in for the show. Hell, even the Frog brothers from Lost Boys dressed exactly like early Chachi a bit. The muscle shirts, the jeans, the converse shoes, the jean jackets, etc.

Actually, FOL was my grandmother's favorite show. Nana loved that show....and now, my grandmother is no longer alive. I really do have the movie, Lucas Was There. I use to dress like that when I was kindergarten...true story. I also had my hair like that, too, like Scott Baio did in that made for T.V movie as well as the early 80s Scott Baio hairdo in 1991....wow. That was a true story. God, I overgrown my hair when I was eight...LOL

Also the ladies from Designing Women had that great 80's look.

88survivor · 07-27-2007, 07:16 PM

Big hair and shoulder pads...80s Southern belles with a Dynasty flair to their clothing. I love it...

Oh yes, how could we forget Dynasty?? Back then, the look was so glamourous. Now poor Linda Evans and Joan Collins look like drag queens in the reruns.

freshprinceofLA · 07-27-2007, 08:35 PM

Both Miami Vice actors (don johnson already listed) Philip Michael Thomas as well the suits, the hair and the cars that those guys drove just totally 80's.

Kirk Cameron the whole look he mastered the jeans, the hair, the walk and the talk even.

Also judith light from who's the boss? she had the BIG

hair and huge red circular glasses

88survivor · 07-27-2007, 09:20 PM

My sister in 1992 at Disney World had that little curly haired Kirk Cameron hairdo...boy, that look was even popular for women, too.

80s fashion revisits...

A lot of people said during my kindergarten years said I looked like I could have played Charles' other cousin because I looked like a better relative match than the Anthony character back then..

Dcelest · 07-27-2007, 09:59 PM

Don Johnson from Miami Vice. The white suit and pastel shirts.

Joan Collins and Linda Evans from Dynasty with the shoulder pads & beautiful gowns by designer Nolan Miller.

88survivor · 07-27-2007, 11:44 PM

Those were some huge ass gowns worn by Joan and Linda.....they practically represented a huge gay following for sometime. True story..
