A Madonna wannabe, or Madonnabe, is a person (usually female) who dresses or acts like American singer Madonna. When she emerged into stardom in the mid-1980s, an unusually high number of women, particularly young women and girls, began to dress and do their hair and makeup in the style that Madonna displayed in public. The term was popularized by writer John Skow in a May 1985 Time cover story on the singer. Numerous sociologists and other academics commented on the Madonna influence in her wannabes, and mainly because by that time, using fashion with identity was a fresh concept. At some point of her career, and largely thanks to this phenomenon, Madonna was the most-imitated woman in the world on the report of American journalist Ricardo Baca.

  • Madonna wannabe, o también Madonnabe, es una persona (usualmente una mujer), que viste como la artista estadounidense Madonna. El término fue popularizado gracias al escritor John Skow de la revista Time en su edición de mayo de 1985, donde la cantante fue protagonista de portada.​ La continuidad del término incluye atribuciones por los medios a cantantes que tienen un estilo de música o sentido de la moda parecido al de Madonna y que han sido mayormente influenciadas por la intérprete, entre ellas a Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Kylie Minogue o Katy Perry.​ Según el académico Stephen Brown, gracias a Madonna la palabra wannabe entró en el léxico del inglés estadounidense.​ (es)

The term was officially recognized by the Webster's Dictionary in May 1991. Following the disappearance of the trend, critics and journalists refer to female pop stars who emulate Madonna (with styles or musical) as Madonna wannabes. The term is also used as a nickname for her fandom, mainly to refer her female fans, especially young ones. (en)
