Pop Culture Moments to Inspire Your Summer Style Madonna, Lana Del Rey or Rihanna?

While it's no secret that pop culture has the power to start conversations and build relationships – whether it's what movie to watch or what music to listen to – it can also influence what you wear daily. For instance, in the '80s, the star was Madonna, considered the queen of pop for her swinging, electronic music, but also as a fashion icon for her daring style. Teenagers and young adults left the house wearing shirts with quotes, leather jackets, sunglasses, crucifix necklaces, a dozen bracelets, lace gloves, and messy hair with bows. Now, from actors and actresses to singers, the entertainment industry and its figures continue to be one of the main vehicles for setting trends. And this summer is no different. While TikTok re-popularizes classic romantic comedies, such as How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and 13 Going on 30, or the audience turns on recent songs like Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso and Charli XCX's new album Brat for summertime inspiration – and actor Paul Mescal is spotted in ultra-short shorts –, we have compiled some iconic pop culture moments to help you get through the season in style.
