8. Madonna -- 'Desperately Seeking Susan' (1985)


Every woman had thought about it: Why can't I wear this bra in public? I wear a bikini to the beach. OK, well not every woman, but it was one Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone who made the thought a reality and much more mainstream than worried fathers would have liked. As the downtown urchin Susan in Susan Seidelman's modern screwball comedy, "Desperately Seeking Susan," Madonna wore her clothes -- from black dresses paired with leggings to men's pants with exposed lacy bras to rolled-down, rhinestone boots to even men's boxers. And, of course, beads, crosses, bracelets and all that obvious bleached-out hair. Madonna was so ultra-sexy and daring, it's not even necessary to point out what a sensation she became, since an entire phrase was coined for her legions of imitators: "Madonna-wanna-be."

Next: 'Saturday Night Fever'
