…and that’s Madonna, beeeeeeeeeep!!
That was indeed the theme of Madonna’s MDNA gig in Milan last week. Love her or hate her, the lady still got it: at almost 54 (let me say this one more time: 54!!!!!!), she danced her sweet ass off and sang – nope, no lip-sync – for nearly two hours with hardly break. And let me just say, look at that body!
It’s not that hard to reckon I am a huge fan since well, very early days. I still remember my mum playing that Like a Virgin vinyl over and over again while doing the chores. Or going to see her live at the Drowned World tour by myself at 16 years old as my mates back then thought she was old and uncool – boy, did I have a blast that night! 11 years later I decided to express my love and devotion to her again, and she did not disappoint me.
Besides the overall awesomeness of the concert, what struck me the most were her outfits – obviously. Just like all of her previous tours, Madonna knows her stuff and pays attention to every single detail together with her good friend and long-time stylist Arianne Phillips. For the MDNA tour they picked 8 outfits and collaborated with top high-end designers, including Jeremy Scott, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Miu Miu and Agent Provocateur – together with a few pieces of her lingerie line Truth or Dare, due to launch very soon.

As I was sitting rather far from the stage, here are a few snapshots of all her outfits taken from her official site:
All black outfit: skin-tight jeggings + top with leather inserts, Chanel leather gloves & stiletto ankle boots – Girl Gone Wild/ Revolver/ Gang Bang/ Papa Don’t Preach/ Hung up/I Don’t Give A.

Majorette outfit by Arianne Phillips – Express Yourself / Born This Way/ Give Me All Your Luvin’.
All black leather outfit – Turn Up The Radio/ Open Your Heart-Sagarra Jo/ Masterpiece.


My absolute favorite outfit: the remake of the iconic body/suit, all by Jean Paul Gaultier – Vogue/ Candy Shop VS Erotica.


Getting undressed in Agent Provocateur – Human Nature/ Like A Virgin.
The modern Jeanne D’Arc: designed by Arianne Phillips, encrusted by Swarovski crystals + dancers in Jeremy Scott – I’m Addicted/ I’m A Sinner-Cyber-Raga/ Like A Prayer/ Celebration.

C’è solo una regina, ed è Madonna.
Questo è stato di fatto l’argomento principale della tappa Milanese del MDNA tour di Madonna settimana scorsa. Amatela o odiatela, tanto di cappello alla signora: a quasi 54 anni (fatemelo ribadire un’altra volta: 54!!!!!), ha ballato e cantato – senza playback, ah! – per circa due ore senza sosta. E lasciatemelo dire: ma che fisico!
Non ci vuole molto a capire che io sia una grande fan sin dall’infanzia. Ricordo ancora il vinile di Like a Virgin girare ininterrottamente mentre mia mamma faceva le pulizie. O andarla a vedere dal vivo al Drowned World tour da sola a 16 anni perchè le mie amiche la credevano vecchia e out – come mi sono divertita quella sera! 11 anni dopo ho deciso di esprimere ancora una volta il mio amore per lei, e non mi ha delusa neanche per un istante.
Tralasciando la figaggine generale del concerto, ciò che mi ha più colpita sono gli outfits – ovviamente. Come tutti i suoi tour precedenti, Madonna sa ciò che vuole e ci mette l’anima nel singolo dettaglio insieme alla sua cara amica e stilista di fiducia, Arianne Phillips. Per il MDNA tour hanno creato 8 outfits e collaborato con top designers, tra cui Jeremy Scott, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Miu Miu e Agent Provocateur – insieme ad alcuni capi della sua nuova linea di lingerie, Truth or Dare, a breve disponibile.
Outfit total black: jeggings e maglia super stretti con inserti in pelle, guanti in pelle Chanel e stivaletti con tacco a spillo per Girl Gone Wild/ Revolver/ Gang Bang/ Papa Don’t Preach/ Hung up/I Don’t Give A.
Outfit da Majorette di Arianne Phillips per Express Yourself / Born This Way/ Give Me All Your Luvin’.
Outfit in pelle nera per Turn Up The Radio/ Open Your Heart-Sagarra Jo/ Masterpiece.
Il mio outfit preferito in assoluto: il remake del body iconico di Jean-Paul Gaultier per Vogue/ Candy Shop VS Erotica.
Semi-spogliarello in Agent Provocateur per Human Nature/ Like A Virgin.
Giovanna D’Arco in chiave moderna di Arianne Phillips, ricoperta da cristalli Swarovski + ballerini in Jeremy Scott per I’m Addicted/ I’m A Sinner-Cyber-Raga/ Like A Prayer/ Celebration.
Moi? Giacca Mango/ maglia a pois e borsa Zara/ jeggings Rockstar Sushi/ collana a cuore vintage.
