Britney Spears has been opting for the edgy side of fashion lately. And when I saw her in this latest outfit, I had to say "what was she thinking?!!" The man’s hat, the red bra or bikini top underneath the see-through shift? The cowboy boots? Ripped fishnets?
But then I had to think again! Gwen Stefani has made poular the "Harajaku girls" style of Japan to Westerners. And Madonna pioneered her own original look in the 80’s – and pulled it off. Hordes of teens and young women dressed like her. But Britney Spears is not pulling off this eclectic, who-cares-anyway look. Since erstwhile pal Madonna may not be available, perhaps Gwen Stefani and her Harajaku dancers can give her a few pointers on getting the feel of the look she is going for.
A Gothic-Burlesque-Western sort of look ?
Madonna, the 1980’s
