 Fashion of Rock
MADONNA
QUEEN OF POP
Gonna dress her up When this style chameleon burst onto the scene in the early eighties, she launched a fashion revolution: cut-off tops, mismatched earrings, torn lace gloves and layered tights. Next came the ultrafit look, which Madonna showed off in a black satin bustier with gold tassels (it recently sold for $20,550 at Sotheby's) and a Jean Paul Gaultier bra-top corset. By then, style switches were a way of life.
What it feels like for a girl The late nineties found Madonna in groovy jeans and bindis, and in 2000, the "cyber-cowboy" look by D Squared and Dolce & Gabbana (with waistbands "the lowest you've ever seen," she said). Then there are her punked-up kilts, an homage to Scottish husband Guy Ritchie. Why such constant metamorphoses? Says her stylist, Arianne Phillips, "We all get bored doing the same thing all the time."
