Power Couple
The two most famous pop stars in the world went to the 1991 Oscars as each other's date, taking up front-row seats and many inches of newsprint. Galella caught this shot of them arriving at Spago in West Hollywood for talent agent Swifty Lazar's after-party, one of the most famous and exclusive events in town. But according to People magazine, Madonna spent the evening canoodling with Warren Beatty, while Jackson paid his attentions to Diana Ross.
