Madonna, 67, Brings Back Her ‘Like a Virgin’ Bride Fantasy 42 Years Later in Daring Corset and Fishnets
A new campaign has brought back one of the most famous images from Madonna’s long career. The pop legend recently revisited the style that defined her “Like a Virgin” era more than four decades ago. This time, she did it for a fashion project with Dolce & Gabbana in Milan.
According to images and video from the campaign, the 67-year-old singer appeared in a black-and-white short film filmed in Milan, where she performed the classic Italian song “La Bambola” by Patty Pravo for a small audience. The setting had a dramatic and intimate feel, with Madonna standing on a small stage while wearing a bold bridal-inspired outfit.
Her look clearly nodded to the famous style connected to her 1984 hit “Like a Virgin.” In the campaign, she wore a white corset with lace and satin details, paired with lace hot pants, fishnet tights, and white high heels. She also added long lace gloves and a long veil that flowed behind her, creating a dramatic bridal image. The outfit was completed with accessories including a diamond cross necklace, glossy pumps, and a white fur coat.
After the shoot, Madonna posted several photos from the set on her Instagram account. The images showed the same outfit in color and gave fans a closer look at the styling used for the campaign. She captioned the photos “Una Notte D’amore,” which translates to “a night of love.”
The campaign appears to celebrate the long connection between fashion and Madonna’s music career. Her look during the “Like a Virgin” period became one of the most recognizable images in pop culture and helped define the visual identity of the 1980s. By recreating a version of that bridal style now, the singer once again reminded fans of the era that helped make her a global icon.
Over the years, Madonna has continued to reinvent herself through music, fashion, and performances. Even decades after her early hits, she still finds ways to bring attention to the looks and themes that shaped her career.
This campaign shows how powerful a strong visual identity can be. Madonna understands her own history and knows how to revisit it in a way that still grabs attention today. Many artists move away from their early image, but she often brings it back in creative ways. What do you think about Madonna revisiting her famous “Like a Virgin” style after so many years?
