"Joan Collins, Goldie Hawn and even Lady Di--all the &amp;#x27;80s style icons (and their shoulder-padded wardrobes) are back, for a little while anyway. Check out these snaps and tell me if you don&amp;#x27;t see the resemblance between the fall &amp;#x27;09 Balenciaga outfits and these glitzy Hollywood frocks: At left, a dress from the Balenciaga fall 2009 collection. At right, Dynasty star Joan Collins. Collins (right) in one of her signature wrap-like dresses and a similar look from the fall &amp;#x27;09 Balenciaga line. Doesn&amp;#x27;t this outfit (left) look like a dress version of Goldie Hawn&amp;#x27;s double leopard look? All of the Balenciaga looks also have a hint of Princess Diana about them...don&amp;#x27;t you think? Twenty-odd years ago, these lush draped dresses were worn by everyone from soap opera queens to Princess Di--and I think if you look over old photo albums, chances are your mom had one of &amp;#x27;em too. I know my mom did. She wore them with her bowl cut, no joke. Hopefully she won&amp;#x27;t mind that I just outed her to the world, and she&amp;#x27;ll still let me steal the old shoulder-padded blazers and drapey dresses that I&amp;#x27;m sure she has stashed in her closet. Think your mom had one of these dresses? Do you or did you ever &amp;quot;borrow&amp;quot; stuff from your mom? How&amp;#x27;d that go over? And how are you feeling about all these &amp;#x27;80s trends? P.S.: Having trouble posting a comment? Try logging out of glamour.com and then logging back in again. Then post your comment.
