Madonna has carved her own niche as a style chameleon, and on Thursday she resorted to a look that started it all. The 56-year-old Material Girl was draped in a dress that screamed 1980s as she hit up Keep A Child Alive’s 9th annual Black Ball in New York City on Thursday.
Madonna’s frock featured a tight-fitting bustier with sheer lace details showing off her overflowing cleavage, along with a lace skirt that fluttered to her shins. Even her accessories were a clear nod to her Desperately Seeking Susan character in the 1985 cult flick who clothes herself in various designs picked up at second hand stores.
Black leather lace-up booties by Givenchy and black lace mitts were a dressy touch, and a heavy crucifix pendant adorned her throat.
Madonna’s magical attire mirrored the one she wore to the 1985 American Music Awards.
Once at the charity fundraiser, Madonna continued to look and act far younger than her years as she rubbed elbows with other stars appearing for a good cause. The event raised money to help children and families grappling with HIV in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa and India.
Madonna cuddled up to pregnant Alicia Keys and seemed to get a kick out of the latter’s growing bump.
