Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston

Eighties fashion is huge at the moment and we couldn't think of a better example of the fab fashion from the decade than Whitney Houston's iconic 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' video. Check out the outfits we created after being inspired by the wedding dancefloor favourite...

 

Whitney looks like a real 80s diva in this video and we love the amazing kooky fashion she's showing off.

The stonewash denim and leather jacket look just scream 1980s. We love the way Whit works it with a cool headscarf casually tied around her backcombed curls as she gets her groove on with some dodgy looking dancers in a secluded carpark.

Biker Jacket, Miso 'Republic, £39.99. Leopard Print Body, New Look, £12. Cuffed Jeans, River Island, £44.99. Bow Head Scarf, Topshop, £12.

These cuffed jeans from River Island are totally 80s. We teamed them with another wardrobe staple of the decade- the body- and a cool cropped biker jacket. The oversixed bow headband from Topshop finsihes of the look perfectly.

Shoulder pads are one of the most distinctive fashion aspects of the 1980s and Whitney works the look in a tight fitted black long sleeved dress with great shoulder power.

Padded Shoulder Dress, New Look, £15. Platform Shoes, River Island, £74.99. Seeded Bangle Set, Topshop, £18.

We are crazy about this simple black shoulder padded dress from New Look. It's so versatile and will get you through the whole of next season. Just team it with some bright coloured corts or for something extra special we've added this amazing platforms from River Island.

Whitney has always had a figure to die for and what better way to show it off than in a super tight body con dress.

This jade green version of the bodycon from Dorothy Perkins looks just like Whitney's and can easily be dressed up with some funky 80's inspired accesories. Colour blocks are another popular 80s trend and this metalic clutch adds a great touch to the outfit.
