They were the ultimate fun 1980’s girl group, performing their hits while jumping around in modest dungarees, sporting bold red lipstick and wild hair.
But Bananarama singer Keren Woodward, 69, said she would be worried about having a teenage daughter with many female popstars these days dancing on stage in their underwear.
‘I have friends who have teenage daughters and these girls already have terrible body image and insecurities and I don’t think that kind of woman on stage helps with that.’
For over a decade, international female pop stars have performed in front of young fans wearing revealing clothing.
In contrast, Ms Woodward said: ‘We [Bananarama] became a sex symbol in donkey jackets.’
She continued: ‘We didn’t have stylists or make-up artists working with us, we just dressed the way we did when we went to the club.
‘We would buy fabric from the market and run up three outfits that looked similar.
‘I’m proud of the fact that we became pin-ups without being overtly sexy. It wouldn’t happen now.’
Last year Beyonce wore a carousel of petite outfits on her Renaissance World Tour including a bumble bee bodice with thigh-high boots and long gloves.
Miley Cyrus appeared in nude-coloured underwear and performed a sexually suggestive dance on Robin Thicke in 2013 during the MTV Music Awards.
Ms Woodward praised this year’s Brit Award winner, Raye, for being a ‘fantastic role model’ and said: ‘Everything about her, her style, her lyrics, her presentation – she uses her platform for all the right reasons’.
