Madonna at 50

With the help of some of the best of French haute couture, Madonna, seen here on August 02, 2008, is to kick off her new "Sticky and Sweet" world tour next week in a slinky dominatrix-style frock coat in black stretch satin designed by none other than Givenchy.(AFP/Getty Images/File) AFP/Getty Images/File Photo:
The 50 year old pop star has certainly had her changes in fashion over the years.
We have seen her go in punk, Marilyn Monroe, Eva Peron and a geisha.

Who can't forget the whole '80s thing - blondes with bad roots wearing lace gloves and lots of chains. Don't forget about Madonna's Kabbalah and yoga as lifestyle trends be where they are today without her?

Lately Madonna is in preparation for her "Sticky & Sweet" world tour that will be partially outfitted by Givenchy. The tour is starting in Cardiff August 23, but also a second outfit.

The outfit for the opening number, worn with a waistcoat and trimmed with jet beads, is influenced by "Gangster Pimp" and "Art Deco", according to the house.

The second outfit breaks with Madonna's long-running taste for the dominatrix style with a gypsy-style black cape lined in fuschia and a black stretch chiffon dress trimmed with coloured ribbons and coloured metal chains.

Madonna earlier this year threw on another Givenchy number -- a black dress with lots of metal chain -- for her video of "Give It 2 Me."

Other designers getting a piece of the action for this tour include Tom Ford with suits for the band, Miu Miu and Stella McCartney with footwear, Moschino with sunglasses while there are also other contributions from Yves Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli and Jeremy Scott, according to Women's Wear Daily.
