46. and 45. Mall Pop (1987)
Pop princesses Debbie Gibson and Tiffany were the faces of electric youth in the '80s — and their suburban Valley Girl ensembles became a look coveted by even the most soigné teens. Today, bike shorts, skorts, and scrunchies are considered crimes against humanity.

34. Salt-N-Pepa (1987)

32. Axl Rose (1987)
The Guns N' Roses frontman's dirty-sexy glamour was easy to imitate: Take a pair of holey jeans, add a bandanna, and pile on the hair.

31. Pretty in Pink (1986)
Teens swooned over Molly Ringwald's DIY reconstructed prom dress. Well, that and her singularly styled date, Duckie. (Who else could pull off the bolo tie?)

When Demi Moore went from sexy Stripteaser to hard-bodied, head-shaved SEAL, women flocked to the gym — though, thankfully, not to the barber.

27. Miami Vice (1984)
Never before — or, likely, again — would so many men don roomy linen suits and sockless loafers in an effort to emulate the pastel-tinged cool of TV's hippest cop duo.
