During her thirty-year career, Madonna managed to try on a hundred different images. Stage costumes often caused a shock to the public. However, in everyday life and on the red carpet, the singer always tried to look feminine and attractive, which she succeeded, however, with varying success. We have collected images of the star – both the best and the worst, from 1984 to the present day.
Madonna began her career in 1983, but the real success comes to her in 1984 after the release of the album “LikeaVirgin”. It was after the eponymous single lasted in the Billboard charts for six weeks, the whole world started talking about Madonna. At that time, the star dressed flashily and, one might even say, vulgarly. Protruding underwear, abundant makeup, bunches of jewelry – all this has become the hallmark of Madonna.
In 1985, Madonna, who at that time had already experienced several sex scandals, married actor Sean Penn. At first, the star was happily married, husband and wife for a long time were considered an ideal couple. In everyday life, the singer preferred eclectic outfits, which to some extent could be called even chaste. Black leggings, light midi dresses, ballet flats, and a feminine short haircut on snow-white hair made her a real style icon.
For evening outings, Madonna always chose very feminine outfits that emphasize her slender figure. Often she relied not on a shocking outfit, but on spectacular makeup. Expressive eyebrows and scarlet lips were her way of looking sexy.
Madonna was constantly experimenting with her own style. Elegant dresses she could not hesitate to exchange for lace bodysuits, and feminine evening sets – for a strange denim suit, which could easily be supplemented with rough boots with black socks.
In 1990, Madonna arranged the later legendary Blond Ambition World Tour. It is during him that the star performs in a provocative cone-shaped bra created by designer Jean-Paul Gautier. One girl on stage and in everyday life – as if two completely different people. On stage, Madonna could afford to show her breasts. In everyday life, she was modest and elegant. Most often on the street, Madonna could be seen either in a tracksuit (on a run), or in an elegant dark dress or cashmere coat.
In the early 1990s, the third incarnation of the Madonna was born – on the red carpet. At important social events, the star did not look vulgar enough for the stage, but not chaste at all. Deep neckline, furs, diamonds – its appearance it invariably attracted attention.
With the release of the musical “Evita” in 1996, Madonna, who played a leading role in it, albeit briefly, but radically changes the image. The star began to give preference to slightly old-fashioned suits made of densely textured fabrics in a flower. In addition, she especially liked unusual hats.
During her pregnancy and after the birth of her daughter Lourdes in 1996, Madonna became interested in yoga, Buddhism, and Kabbalah. Religious teachings greatly influenced the worldview of the star. Influenced by a new passion and appearance. Her image became much more restrained and natural. However, a little later, she again began experimenting with style.
Gothic outfits also settled in the star’s wardrobe for a while. According to the star, in 1998 came her spiritual rebirth. A reflection of this state was the album “RayogLight”, which received a Grammy in several nominations at once. The abundance of black and a look into oblivion have become integral attributes of personal style. By the way, the love of black has been preserved by the singer to this day.
In 2000, Madonna married British director Gai Ricci, with whom she later gave birth to a son. After the wedding, the star became a British citizen. This event left a deep mark on her image. She not only tried to copy the English accent, which irritated the locals but also completely changed the image. Now her favorites were prim and strict suits and coats.
Over the years, Madonna’s habit of experimenting with style has grown into the ability to absolutely painlessly change images depending on the situation. She became a real fashionable chameleon and looked equally good in Gothic dresses and romantic dresses in flowers.
But the star began to pay much less attention to the everyday style than before. Increasingly, the paparazzi see her in strange things that make her look like a homeless. Spiritual development completely killed in her desire to dress up. The only exceptions were stage costumes and dresses for the red carpet.
In 2011, at the Venice Film Festival, Madonna presented her directorial work – the film “WE. We believe in love.” Film critics crushed the picture to smithereens, while fashion critics talked about the return of the star to the camp of fashion icons. The appearance of Madonna on the red carpet in Venice in a luxurious retro image made a real sensation.
Currently, Madonna is considered one of the most spectacular and outrageous stars of world show business. Her stage costumes and brazen antics during performances are discussed by the press of all countries and continents. In everyday life, she remains the same freak-hip: the fact that everyone sees the queen of pop music walking around New York in stretched workouts and a ridiculous scarf does not bother her at all. Look for the most relevant images of the Madonna in the gallery!
