Madonna, 67, slips into a naughty bridal outfit… 42 years after she modeled a wedding gown for Like A Virgin
Madonna, 67, Revisits Bridal Look 42 Years After Iconic Like A Virgin Role
Madonna has stepped into a fresh bridal ensemble, complete with lace gloves and a subtle veil, for Dolce & Gabbana’s latest campaign. The imagery, shared on Instagram, mirrors her 1984 music video for “Like A Virgin,” where she donned a bold, seductive wedding dress. This time, her figure shines as she pairs a corseted top with a sweetheart neckline, lace-infused undergarments, and fishnet stockings, finishing with white pumps.
The vibrant visuals were posted just a day after the brand released black-and-white clips of Madonna in a bridal role. The caption, “LA BAMBOLA … 🩷,” translates to “The Doll” in Italian, a reference to her performance in the clip where she sings to a small audience. The connection to her past role is clear, blending vintage charm with modern elegance.
Madonna’s collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana spans decades, beginning in the 1990s. Notable moments include her appearance in the 1991 New York premiere of *Truth Or Dare*, where she wore a studded bodice, and her involvement in the *Erotica* and *Drowned World Tour* costume designs. Her presence at the 2025 Spring-Summer collection saw her don a lace veil, while this campaign highlights her evolving style.
Recent appearances at Milan Fashion Week further solidify her bond with the duo. During the Fall-Winter 2026-27 showcase, Madonna and her partner Akeem Morris were seated beside Anna Wintour, with the backdrop of her hit “You’ll See.” The moment was captured by onlookers as she embraced actor Alberto Guerra, a co-star from a recent campaign. The event also showcased transparent lace gowns and structured pinstriped suits, echoing her early music video style.
“LA BAMBOLA … ��”
Madonna’s role as a model continues to influence the brand’s latest releases. The collection features bold elements like faux furs and animal prints, alongside mirrored double-breasted suits. During the show, she and Wintour wore dark sunglasses, with Madonna adopting a relaxed posture as she observed the runway. After the presentation, the designers approached her for a heartfelt embrace, marking a fitting closure to the display.
With a history of iconic fashion choices, Madonna’s return to bridal themes reflects her enduring presence in the industry. Her two prior marriages to Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie add context to her reputation as a style pioneer, blending romance with rebellious flair in every look.
