On February 1 1985, Madonna’s music video for Material Girl premiered in the U.S. on MTV.
The Mary Lambert-directed clip was a tongue-in-cheek homage to Marilyn Monroe’s performance of Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend from the 1953 film, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Material Girl is a sendup and critique-more than this it’s a great Madonna song!
Remember watching the video premier with my friend Donnie! Madonnamania was in full force!
