So, okay, yes … there has already been a LOT of Madonna talk today … from her stellar Super Bowl performance, to that dumb middle finger thing, to an inside look at her locker room full of HAWT gladiators in their underwear … but I have one more bit of fun Maddy Super Bowl stuff to share. The French fashion house Givenchy was responsible for the creation of Madonna‘s beautifully regal costumes yesterday and they happily share the design sketches of Madge‘s stunning raiments. Click below to see the Givenchy design sketches and take another look at the final pieces as worn by the Queen of Pop herself.
At last night’s Super Bowl, 53-year-old Madonna high-kicked and cartwheeled her way through a high octane performance. But her physical and musical prowess were not the only things to get fans excited: Madge’s costumes proved to be top talking points too. Her wardrobe was a stunning series of bespoke Givenchy Haute Couture creations by Riccardo Tisci, designed with a melange of themes that embraced both Roman gladiatorial style and the elegant excess of Egyptian queens. What that translated to was a set of architectural pieces heavy on gold embellishment, featuring statement flourishes lavish in detail, with plenty of sequins, leopard print, metalwork and evocative cuts channelling Tisci’s work for Givenchy over the past few years. There were three main designs: a gold, hand-embroidered full-length gown with headdress; black and gold miniskirt with hand-studded warrior-style belt, and the final design – a heavily embellished black coat with high collar. The transition between costumes took place on stage, and was choreographed to form part of the spectacle. ‘Following my collaboration with Madonna on her last tour three years ago, it is a great honor for me to be a part of yet another historical and iconic moment,’ Riccardo Tisci said of the collaboration. ‘People say everything has a limit, but limits do not exist with Madonna. I am so happy that, after being busy in other scenes, she decided to go back on a music stage. Not only to bring us music, but also to make such a statement of performance and fashion’ … Her bespoke headpiece was designed by Philip Treacy; the jewelry was Bugari.
Couture fit for a queen, really. Givenchy did a brilliant job of designing outfits that not only represented Madonna‘s elevated stature as Queen of EVERYTHING but they did so in a very stylish way. The outfits were crafted to perfection, I thought. Altho Maddy‘s headpiece did look a bit like something She-Ra would wear …
… I think the overall look really befit her. She was Queen, Goddess, God, Warrior and Superhero all at once. I really hope this look is one that we will see again when Madonna goes on tour this year. In fact, I’d love to see what designs the House of Givenchy might come up with for an entire concert show.
