Jefferson Starship with Mickey Thomas, Grace Slick and Father Guido Suducci in the most over the top production of the decade. I think this was shortly before MT was beat senseless in a bar fight by his drummer (who's now playing with Jefferson Starship, not to be confused with Mickey Thomas's Starship.) Mickey's new drummer weighs in at about 300 pounds and is probably there to protect him in case the original drum-beater is in the neighborhood.)

!989, Cher, "If I Could Turn Back Time". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Grdev5ktOGw
Scott
Edit: I had in mind sexy female vocalists/bands.
There was some controversy at the time about the Navy providing Cher a stage on which to stroll around with her hiney hanging out...seemed like the sailors loved it.
Since you asked for women...wasn't a big Madonna fan, but I think this was one of her best songs and a good video, despite relying too much on movie scenes. "Live To Tell"...

Totally obscure video from a female band, Charlotte Caffrey had been in the Go-Gos and Meredith Brooks later had a hit with a song whose title would get filtered out here (think beeyotch). The Graces with "Lay Down Your Arms"...
Car forum, gotta have a good rocker with a car name. Chrysler should introduce a Barracuda version of the Challenger and use this song in the ads.
This was 77. Close enough to 80's? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0OX_8YvFxA

I thought the gal in this was Paulina Porizkova when I first saw it ages ago, but it's an actress named Susan Gallagher.
Paulina married Ric Ocasek (aka Skeletor aka Keith Richards II) and simultaneously broke the hearts of and totally confused millions of men.

I too remember that controversy about Cher and the Navy. If ever there was a phallic symbolism, this video had it. Pause the video and check out the optical illusion at 1:57 - 1:58.
Agree on Madonna's "Live To Tell" video; very compelling. IMO, Madonna was one of the most talented musicians ever. She wrote all her own music, she choreographed and directed her videos, and she was one heck of a business person. She ran her "franchise" better than anyone else at the time - male or female.
I just found this. Cher signing "If I Could Turn Back Time" in Las Vegas in 2017. Yes, she's been nipped and tucked, and is wearing a gigantic wig - but that's a 71 year old woman you're looking at!!!!!
A little late to this party, but here's Whitesnake's best one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-Ha118VFqI
Although ANY video with Tawny Kitaen from the '80s qualifies! MEEE-OUCH!

BW:
Of course! But, you got it slightly wrong. THIS is the Whitesnake video that introduced Tawny to the world. (BTW, she ended up being seriously f'ed up.)
