Madonna Ciccone. The original New York Italian Queen of Pop. A material girl for the ages, there’s a place in all our hearts for the eclectic, bold style of Madonna; ranging from Jean Paul Gaultier cone bras to her penchant for catholic iconography that juxtaposed oh so nicely with her sultry MO. Beyond her style, Madonna is a hit-maker like no other, a cross-generational artist adored at all ages. Into The Groove, Borderline, Hung Up, Ray of Light… decades of a discography that transcends musical trends. Her longevity and notoriety place her in an upper echelon of music that only few ever make it to – a bonafide pop star, forever adored and never far from conversation, whether it be about her dress, music or beliefs. From the 1980s through to the 2010s, we look back at a selection of the most iconic style moments worn by Madonna.
