I Love Your ShopStyle: Ode to Rio
As we know, the '80s are back in a major way. ShopStyle user Pemberly decided to give an ode to Duran Duran's 1982 album, Rio, by creating outfits inspired by it. Right on.
FABTV: Duran Duran, "Hungry Like the Wolf"
What I never realized, that I now love, about Duran Duran, is that they were so worldly with their video repertoire. We've seen them in Rio being silly, and here they adventuring through Sri Lanka — in their totally tubular '80s getups (how hot is the oversize white blazer, no shirt, and white headscarf?). I also have a fond memory of dancing with some sexy talent to this song at a Halloween party one year.
