i know this outside the window you looked at (as it’s from 1995). but i must give a shoutout to madonna’s black latex outfit in the Human Nature video! (and we’ll not speak of her hair in that video…) she is often pretty ahead of trends (or WAS, back in the day, i should say—i also thought of her marie antoinette-inspired Vogue performance while reading your post about the French Revolution) so interesting that her sort of cyber look (not sure what the exact right term is) is squarely in the mid-90s way ahead of Y2K
You're so right, Madonna definitely was a sci-fi thought leader! I forgot to mention this but Jean-Paul Gaultier (who did the Fifth Element costumes) also did Madonna's iconic cone bra! I also just found this article that blurbs how influential her "Bedtime Story" video was to the sci-fi 90s aesthetic :) https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/29875/1/how-a-sci-fi-music-video-obsession-gripped-the-90s
