# Fashion Emulation Britney Spears' Style Channels Madonna By Sandra Winn | Published 2008-11-30 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/divas-copying-divas-britney-spears-channels-madonna-fashion References: [dailymail](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1090052/Keep-away-diva-Britney-tells-X-Factor-contestants.html) The above photos were posted in a Daily Mail article written today and, without a doubt, it’s apparent that Britney Spears channels Madonna’s fashion. Fans inspired by superstars and copying their styles is normal and expected, but to see a celebrity doing the same is a bit unusual. You don’t even need to have someone point out how close Britney Spears’ attire worn at the Bambi Awards resembled one of Madonna’s ensembles from her Sticky & Sweet Tour. Celebs may wear the same fashion trends from time to time but when it comes to Britney copying Madonna, it happens a lot more than usual. Despite Britney wearing Madonna-inspired styles on and off the stage, I disagree with the Daily Mail’s postulation that she copies Madonna when it comes to the raunchy performance factor. Long before Madonna stepped onto the scene, rock and pop-stars used sexual moves during concert performances--and, more than likely, they will continue to do so. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Celebrity-inspired Fashion:** As fans copy celebrity fashion, opportunities exist for fashion brands to create low-cost versions of trendy designs. - **Iconic Outfits:** The recreation of popular outfits by modern-day celebrities is a trend that can be monetized through collaborations between fashion brands and celebrities. - **Nostalgic Fashion:** As iconic outfits continue to inspire modern-day fashion trends, companies can create collections inspired by the fashion styles of previous eras. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can leverage celebrity fashion trends to create low-cost versions of popular designs and offer them to a wider audience. - **Celebrity Endorsements:** As celebrities continue to inspire fashion trends, companies can partner with them to create clothing lines or showcase their products in social media posts. - **Social Media Marketing:** With the rise of Instagram and other social media platforms, fashion brands can use celebrity-inspired fashion as a marketing strategy to reach a wider audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Iconic Touring Artist Makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/madonnas-makeup.md) - [Nostalgic Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-90s-looks.md) - [Offbeat Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by.md) - [Daily Style Accessible Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/demi-lovato-x-amazon.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Fashion Legend Barbie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claudia-schiffer-barbie.md) - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Celebrity-Designed Street Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victoria-beckham-2.md) - [Iconic Band Apparel Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-2.md)
