At Milan Fashion Week, Madonna, the music icon, muse, and friend of the creative duo, made her appearance. On the runway, her iconic outfits were reimagined. For Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, Madonna is more than just a muse.
The artist has played a crucial role in their careers, helping to launch their international success when the designers were still emerging. At that time, she was at the peak of her fame. In 1991, the pop star chose to wear a Dolce & Gabbana corset adorned with jewels for the Cannes premiere of the documentary In Bed with Madonna .
Following that event, the designers were invited to create costumes for her 1993 Girlie Show tour. Since then, a collaboration has flourished into a lasting friendship. Today, at the Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2025 show, Madonna made a striking appearance.
She arrived in a couture look, completely draped in a Chantilly lace veil, complemented by a gold and crystal crown. Her long chiffon and lace gown, featuring a slit, was from the Fall/Winter 2024-2025 collection and was worn over a black corset. The outfit was finished with a high- jewelry necklace in yellow and white gold, adorned with diamonds and skull motifs.
On the runway, the collection's looks drew inspiration from the pop icon The star's presence at Fashion Week is a rare occurrence and is undoubtedly linked to the close relationship she shares with the designers. After all, she couldn’t miss what is essentially a celebration of her career.
