Madonna's style became as famous as her music. In the '80s, she could never seem to pile enough clothing onto her petite frame. Crucifixes, leather jackets and bustiers melded to create a look that was a little girly, a little punk and totally Madonna. In this photo, she performs at the Open Air Theatre at San Diego State in 1985.

In this photo, she performs at the Open Air Amphitheater at San Diego State University in 1985.
