Pat Benatar's Signature Look Happened by Accident
On The Big Interview, Pat Benatar revealed that her heavy-on-the-spandex-and-eye-makeup signature look started off as a Halloween costume. An interest in science fiction films was the inspiration for the original look, for which they won a contest in Greenwich Village. Then they zipped uptown to play a show and simply went on stage with what they were wearing. The crowd went nuts, and the rest was 80s history.
