She attended the Elite Style Awards Monday night and had no problem donning a crown and flaunting her status as queen.

Blondie’s formation came from the fruitful New York neighborhood around CBGB in the 1970s, and so shared new-wave and punk roots with Patti Smith (briefly sharing guitarist Ivan Kral), Ramones, New York Dolls, and the Talking Heads.Blondie’s four #1 hits on the US Hot 100 were “Heart of Glass” (’79), “Call Me” and “The Tide Is High” (’80), and “Rapture” (’81). Curious for a New York band, they did even better on the UK charts, scoring additional #1s on the UK Singles charts with “Sunday Girl” (’79), and “Atomic” (’81). Three #1 US hits were also #1 in the UK, leaving only “Rapture” to score a #5 in the UK.

Debbie Harry has said that Marilyn Monroe was an influence on her style; however, her main intention was to invoke being blonde by itself, since it is associated with glamour, success, and desire.
