Billy Joel and Elle Macpherson
In Hollywood, it’s not uncommon for smooth-voiced pianoman Billy Joel to be popular with supermodels; the ’80s were no exception. Joel, one of the best-selling artists of all time, had made a significant mark on the music scene in the ’70s and continued to be beloved throughout the ’80s.
The iconic “Uptown Girl” singer crossed paths with supermodel Elle Macpherson during a trip to St. Barts, and their romance blossomed in the early ’80s. Elle Macpherson, often called “the body,” initially ventured into modeling to put herself through law school. Their love story, uniting the world of music and fashion, exemplifies the allure of ’80s celebrity romances that often transcended industry boundaries.
