Madonna must have had a great experience wearing Miu Miu boots on stage because after wearing them for her memorable Halftime Superbowl performance back in February she's sporting new pairs on her MDNA tour.
In fact, she enjoyed the experience so much that even her dancers are wearing custom-made Miu Miu boots! But they all wear slightly different models to the queen of pop. Madonna wears black shine, buffalo-leather boots with red heels, which she wears covered with white leather spats. Her dancers' are almost identical but with golden heels instead.
It's already impressive to have exclusive shoes and dresses made especially for a concert tour but it's pretty amazing that all her talented crew are treated to the same luxuries. Lucky them!

I'm sure many of you are among the 111.3 million people who watched the Superbowl on Sunday night, I know I am. I had never done it before and if I stay up for the Oscars every year why not try this?
I must admit I was curious to see what Madonna would do for the halftime show as it's such a big deal and it was her 'MDNA' debut. While I found the performance a little disappointing (was she even singing live?) I have to say the staging and the visuals were incredible. As was, of course, the fashion. Madonna wore Givenchy Couture, which she accessorised with a pair of custom made Miu Miu boots. Impressive, no?
My favourite of fashion, though, is the amazing red Antonio Berardi she wears on the cover of the new album. It's super sexy, strong and a tad futuristic, which seems to work great with the artwork of the cover. I am really loving all the celebrity Berardi looks we've got so far! I wonder if anyone will wear my favourite look from the SS12 collection!

‘Marry the night’ and Lady Gaga’s influences

You know I am a big fan of dissecting videos. Whether it's only the fashion like I did for one of Beyoncé's last videos or laying out visually where Gaga got inspiration from for her Alejandro video I simply can't resist making a collage about it.
My favourite Gaga video to date has to be the Judas video. I appreciated the breakthrough of Bad Romance (especially the plethora or McQueen) but Judas was culturally interesting. He cleverly mixed references to Catholicism mixed with nods to popular culture.
For Gaga's latest Marry the Night video Nicola Formichetti and his creative team have done something similar but perhaps not as risqué as before. An 80's Madonna is probably the strongest influence of this new video. Followed by Fame, the über popular TV programme from the same decade. The perfectly timed choreographies in odd layers of tops were pretty much brought into fashion by the show. My favourite look from the whole video is the Atelier Versace embroidered light denim combo that reads surprisingly current and sort of reminded me of this.
Some of the other dance scenes were more reminiscent of Michael Jackson's videos. The dancing in backstreets is in keeping with the general 80's aesthetic of the video.
The only more forward-thinking looks in the Marry the Night video are the music-less opening scenes, which weirdly enough I quite enjoyed, the ballet shots of Gaga in a very Daphne Guiness hairdo and heel-less platforms, and the closing shot of the Fame Monster in one of the Paco Rabanne looks she wore at the EMAs this year.
