Decades after the Rat Pack took pop culture by storm, yet another group stepped onto the scene: The Brat Pack. Consisting of young stars like Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe and Demi Moore, this clan of celebs were as cool on-screen as they were off, defining a decade with their roles in several of the '80s most iconic coming-of-age films — and their red carpet je ne sais quoi.
