It's lush. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-50810861-1598398689.jpg) Also present: heaving bosoms. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-2224340-1598398679.jpg) This lasted a split second but the screen cap is amazing. ## Sinead O'Connor ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-2223325-1598398671.jpg) And then you compare that with Sinead. Actually, that probably made for a good show: Someone who gives you a visual feast, and then someone who really dials you in on her vocals. ## Aerosmith ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-83803551-1598398716.jpg) I just really was NOT paying attention to ANYTHING that Aerosmith was doing back then. I don't know WHY! Had I known that hat was in play... ## Wilson Phillips ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-105915863-1598398725.jpg) Chynna looks one tray shy of being a cigarette girl at a theater. ## New Edition ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-110864062-1598398743.jpg) They had already split up by this point, and Bell Biv Devoe was on its way, but this was a big reunion. I really hoped they'd have used their sleeve pocket to whip out prop hankies or gloves, but I guess they were JUST sleeve pockets. ([This played fitfully for me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEcIZg0TQGw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but seriously, David Silver was SO inspired by New Edition.) ## Justine Bateman ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-115406523-1598398755.jpg) That is a high-fashion lead apron, not a dress. ## Brad Pitt ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-121990725-1598398764.jpg) OH HI THERE. ## Khrystyne Haje ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-166988355-1598398780.jpg) Ah, the halcyon days of Head of the Class. ## Sherilyn Fenn and Michael Ontkean ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-173738941-1598398788.jpg) AND of Twin Peaks. ## Shadoe Stevens and Beverly Cunningham ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-180937329-1598398796.jpg) They are still married, and HOLY CATS, does their child -- actress Amber Stevens -- look like her mother. ## Living Colour ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-457265500-1598398805.jpg) The neckerchief and overalls are a feast, but the surrealist hellscape of that shirt next to them is going to give me nightmares. ## Kim Basinger ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-485903575-1598398816.jpg) Sandy from Grease is a very tired aesthetic. ## Arsenio Hall ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-1150828161-1598398833.jpg) He is like a ringmaster here. Also, this photo reminds me of how Chris Rock would play him on SNL and use a super long pointer-finger extension. ## Bobby Brown ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-1150828170-1598398842.jpg) Chaps are not great. Pants that WISH they were chaps are arguably worse. At least chaps have COMMITTED. ## Mike Patton ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-1150828225-1598398878.jpg) So. This sagging fanny pack looks HILARIOUSLY like he might just be wearing plaid nut-huggers. ## MC Hammer ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-1150828214-1598398859.jpg) This is a man who is extremely confident about his nipples. ## Michael Hutchence ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-1150828219-1598398869.jpg) That is a JAZZY SHIRT. I kind of enjoy it? He must have performed barefoot or something, because he is not shod here... ## Kylie and Michael Hutchence ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-76704416-1598398699.jpg) ... but here he is fully booted, and with Kylie, who looks like she is ready for an Austin Powers flick. ## Rachel Ward ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-156114198-1598398772.jpg) "Michael Hutchence GETS ME." ## Vince Neil ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/08/GettyImages-105925991-1598398734.jpg) "I was not the worst-dressed person in this slideshow!
