Madonna, 67, slips into a naughty bridal outfit… 42 years after she modeled a wedding gown for Like A Virgin
Madonna has returned to the spotlight with a fresh bridal ensemble, complete with lace gloves and a delicate veil, as she continues her collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana. The imagery, unveiled on Instagram, pays homage to her 1984 music video for “Like A Virgin,” where she famously wore a provocative wedding dress.
The collection highlights her curvaceous silhouette through a corseted top paired with a sweetheart neckline, lace bra, and fishnet stockings. The look was shared just days after a black-and-white commercial featuring Madonna as the bride made its debut, with the caption

—literally translating to “The Doll” in Italian. In the video, the pop legend performs in Italian, surrounded by a small audience.
A Fashion Week Reunion
At Milan Fashion Week, Madonna made a notable appearance in the front row, accompanied by her partner Akeem Morris. She sat beside Vogue’s Anna Wintour as the Fall-Winter 2026-27 show commenced, with onlookers capturing her embrace of actor Alberto Guerra, a recent campaign collaborator.
Her styling for the 2025 and 2026 collections has solidified her status as a Dolce & Gabbana icon. The brand’s latest designs include transparent lace dresses and skirts, evoking her early aesthetic, alongside structured pinstriped suits reminiscent of her “Vogue” era. Models demonstrated the double-breasted suits with lapels on both sides, while the designers, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, donned dark sunglasses and observed the show from low front-row seats.
Enduring Collaboration
Madonna’s ties to the Italian design duo stretch back to the 1990s, highlighted by her 1991 role in a crystal-studded bodice for the Truth Or Dare film preview. The brand also crafted costumes for her 1992 Erotica tour and 2001 Drowned World Tour. This latest campaign marks her second appearance in the Fall-Winter 2026-27 collection, with her signature blonde hair left loose and a black blazer layered over a dark minidress.
Her previous marriages to Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie add context to her evolving style and public persona. After the runway showcase, the designers celebrated by greeting Madonna backstage, reinforcing their long-standing creative partnership with the pop icon.
