After taking an odd turn last year with a country and western theme, last week’s Macy’s-produced Glamorama fashion show at the Chicago Theatre was host to all the 1980s essentials. Here are some of the highlights:

There was “risky business” from Tommy Hilfiger, as his male models came sliding across the stage in tighty-whities, socks and oxford combos, a la Tom Cruise back when he was cool. One gent even came into the audience and planted a smooch on a guest.

In another scene, a classic ‘80s sports car was lowered from the ceiling as the sounds of “Beat It” blasted from the speakers. C’N’C’ Costume National’s men were not just models; they were performers, each imitating a Michael Jackson move.

Men were not the only ones taking the stage. I was blown away by Celine’s opaque grey tights, paired with Victorian silhouettes. The soft heathers complimented the hard blacks—one flowing the other constricting.

Just Cavalli and Tommy Hilfiger called upon an earlier era with striped bell-bottoms, wide brim hats and paisley blouses. Though I thought the collection was impressive, the Mary Tyler Moore-1970s style did not groove with the ‘80s tunes.

As for the actual musical performances, Cyndi Lauper and MC Hammer are both “2 Legit 2 Quit.” Hammer performed “U Can’t Touch This” as if he never had any financial woes and Lauper never looked better as she belted out “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”

With all the amazing runway clothing, how did the guests’ attire pan out? Many in the crowd took our advice to the next level and went totally ‘80s with fishnet gloves, bright colors and layered cotton. I saw so much big hair and neon that by the end of the evening, it made me grateful that not every trend from back in the day has returned.
