Madonna, 67, slips into a naughty bridal outfit… 42 years after she modeled a wedding gown for Like A Virgin
Madonna has stepped into a bridal ensemble featuring lace gloves and a delicate veil for Dolce & Gabbana’s latest campaign. The striking images, shared on Instagram, evoke a nostalgic connection to her iconic 1984 music video for “Like A Virgin,” where she donned a provocative wedding dress. This time, the pop legend’s figure is highlighted through a corseted top with a sweetheart neckline, paired with lace underwear and fishnet stockings. Her choice of white pumps adds a touch of elegance to the bold look.
Released just days after the brand unveiled a black-and-white commercial of the bride Madonna, the color shots reinforce her enduring partnership with the Italian design duo. The caption accompanying the images, “
LA BAMBOLA … 🩷
,” translates to “The Doll” in Italian, a subtle reference to her role as a fashion muse. The clip features Madonna singing in Italian to a small audience, mirroring the aesthetic of her early career.
Madonna’s collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana spans multiple collections, including the 2025 and 2026 releases. Her presence at Milan Fashion Week recently showcased her continued influence, as she sat front row alongside Vogue’s Anna Wintour. The moment was framed by the iconic song “You’ll See,” with her boyfriend Akeem Morris by her side. Guests in the row captured her embrace with actor Alberto Guerra, a co-star from a recent campaign, adding to the buzz.
Since the 1990s, Madonna has been a central figure in Dolce & Gabbana’s creative vision. Notable moments include her 1991 appearance in a bodice studded with crystals for the Truth Or Dare film preview. The designers also crafted outfits for her Erotica tour (1992) and Drowned World Tour (2001), blending her bold style with their signature flair. For the Spring-Summer 2025 collection, she returned in a lace veil, contrasting with her recent look where her signature blonde hair was loose, draped over a black blazer and dark minidress.
The Fall-Winter 2026-27 collection unveiled transparent lace dresses and skirts reminiscent of Madonna’s 1980s aesthetic, alongside big-shouldered pinstriped suits that echoed the visuals of her “Vogue” video. Faux furs and animal prints further enriched the lineup. Models gave a graceful twirl in front of the pop icon and Wintour, ensuring the mirrored double-breasted suits with lapels on both sides were captured. The designers, sporting dark sunglasses, sat low in the front row, with Madonna resting her arms across her legs as she observed the show.
After the presentation, the creative minds behind the brand approached Madonna for a heartfelt embrace before leading her backstage. This moment underscored her status as a timeless symbol of style and influence within the fashion world.
