Debbie Harry is turning 80 this year, and while she may be celebrating life with bold energy, she is planning a small birthday gathering with her friends. Debbie is also in a state of reflection, and part of what’s on her mind is her clothes.
Not just any clothes, but the same ones she wore during her rise to fame. Debbie Harry has kept nearly everything from her Blondie days. And now, she wants to share those fashion moments with the world through a public exhibition.

At the New York City Ballet Gala on May 8, Debbie Harry told PEOPLE, “I have everything.” She said she hopes to organize a small exhibition to showcase the pieces that helped shape her iconic style. From denim and edgy T-shirts to sequins and patterns, her outfits were as bold as her music.
Known for her bleach-blonde hair and punk-meets-glam look, Debbie Harry stood out from the start. Her clothes weren’t just outfits — they told stories of concerts, photo shoots, and music videos. They captured the spirit of Blondie and the late ’70s and ’80s.
Debbie Harry is still into fashion
Though Debbie Harry became a style icon decades ago, she’s still in fashion today. In 2024, she posed for a punk-inspired eyewear campaign, proving that age hasn’t dimmed her edge. She once said her mother always felt 25 in her head, and now, she understands that feeling herself.
While she’s not planning a big birthday bash, Debbie says she wants to honor the memory of her drummer, Clem Burke, who recently passed. She adds that she’ll also celebrate her own life, one full of music, fashion, and memories. Even at 80, Debbie Harry is still finding ways to inspire.
