Material Girl by Madonna is a quintessential 1980s music video that cemented her image as a fashion and pop culture icon. Directed by Mary Lambert, the video draws inspiration from Marilyn Monroe’s performance in “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” from the film “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” Released in 1985, the video features Madonna in glamorous settings with extravagant costumes and choreography, reflecting the song’s commentary on consumerism and materialism. “Material Girl” remains a defining moment in Madonna’s career and a classic in the music video canon.
