Madonna Gets Sticky and Sweet

FabSugar — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 13:00:22 -0700

We revealed sketches of Madonna's Sticky and Sweet tour costumes, and now that the tour is underway, let's see them come to life. The list of designers who worked on the singer's wardrobe and accessories includes Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci, Tom Ford, Miu Miu, Stella McCartney, Moschino, Roberto Cavalli, Jeremy Scott, and Yves Saint Laurent. Whew! I'll let you judge their creations for yourself, but it's important to note that the color palette is mainly black with spritzes of color. Expect lots of leather, sky-high boots, and booty-revealing cuts. Madge wouldn't have it any other way.

Fab Flash: Madonna's Sticky and Sweet Costumes

Arianne Phillips, the brain behind the seams of Madonna's costumes is at it again. With the singer's upcoming Sticky and Sweet tour, launching Aug. 23, the costume designer is hard at work putting together a fashion masterpiece. Similar to her previous concerts, Madonna's costumes will range across four different influences: gangsta pimp, art deco, gypsy, and futuristic.

Don't expect age to affect her racy fashion statement. “She always wants to push the envelope. There are no vanity considerations based on her age; she looks good in everything,” said Phillips.

Topping the list of collaborating designers are Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci, who designed the singer's signature dominatrix costumes; Tom Ford, who provided custom suits for the band; custom-made shoes by Miu Miu and Stella McCartney; sunglasses from Moschino, and other outfits and accessories from Roberto Cavalli, Jeremy Scott, and Yves Saint Laurent.

Marilyn and Madonna Get Sticky and Sweet

Anyone else a Marilyn Minter fan? The photographer, known for delicious yet raw imagery, apparently has another big fan by the name of Madonna. The original Material Girl enlisted the photog to create a nine-minute video that will accompany her opening song "Candyshop" on her latest Sticky & Sweet tour. The vid, very sticky and sweet indeed, shows a pair of giant juicy lips playing with sparkly gold, orange, silver, and green goo. Marilyn was so flattered, she expected she would have to pay Madonna, but quite the contrary, "Then [Madonna] actually paid me a bunch of money and sent tickets,” said Minter. Here's a glimpse of the film; this already ran at the Sunshine Cinemas in NYC and in Times Square earlier this year. Nine minutes of this, giant sized, to Madonna?

See some Marilyn-inspired pics.
