Over her impressive 40 year career, Madonna has only continued to deliver show stopping ensembles be it on stage, on the red carpet, or in her many music videos. Nobody does “fashion eras” better than the star. With each new album she’s released, Madonna has always embraced a brand new look to go with it whether it be her western inspired getups for 2000’s Music, or her disco ready attire for 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor. Like a true artist, she sees what she wears as true performance art. Remember at the 1996 premiere of Evita, when she channeled her character, Evita Péron, in Givenchy, gigantic floral headpiece and all? Pure camp! Along the way, Madonna has delivered plenty of other looks that people still talk about today. The Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra that she wore for her “Blonde Ambition” tour in 1990, for one, is still one of her most iconic moments to date. When the superstar headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2012, then Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci and famous milliner Philip Treacy created a regal, gold and black ensemble that totally stole the show. More recently, she also appeared at the 2021 VMAs in a leather dominatrix style bodysuit. “They said we wouldn’t last,” she saucily told the crowd, “but we’re still here, mother fkers.”
Getting dressed up is fun and all, but in the sweltering summer heat, sometimes the goal is to wear as little clothing as possible. As this week’s best dressed stars proved, however, you can opt to show some skin and still create a totally fabulous moment. This month, A listers have been embracing skin baring designs that keep cool and look cool. It’s all about looking for mini hemlines, strategic cutouts, and sexy leg slits. Short hemlines reigned this week. To ring in her 31st birthday this weekend, Selena Gomez chose Bottega Veneta’s floral embellished mini dress for her chic party look. On Instagram, Kylie Jenner slipped into Christopher Esber’s slinky green mini dress as well, complete with an asymmetrical shoulder. Both outfits were saucy and fun. At a Cartier party in England, meanwhile, Emma Corrin went for a more buttoned up vibe with their Connor Ives skirt suit, in a fresh yellow hue.
