See All of Madonna’s Givenchy Super Bowl Halftime Looks

By Leah Chernikoff Sunday, Feb 5, 2012 / 9:07 PM

You have to hand it to Madonna. She killed it tonight at the Super Bowl halftime show. She did cartwheels. And walkovers. In stiletto over-the-knee boots. And she’s 53. The theme for the show was a somewhat historically confusing mix of Roman gladiator meets ancient Egyptian. Madonna’s dress was Givenchy couture, the custom headpiece was Philip Treacy (Nicki Minaj’s headdress was Erickson Beamon), and the jewelry was Bulgari. UPDATE: Those amazing over-the-knee boots were custom stretch leather Miu Miu with a special ‘M’ on the heel for Madonna and Miu Miu. Click through to see the one and only Material Girl in action. World Peace.

Fashion News Roundup: Male Models Deliver Madonna’s Perfume to Editors, Tel Aviv Hosts Its First Fashion Week, and Kim Kardashian Upsets Australia

Madonna’s Perfume Delivered by Male Models: Madge apparently sent some studly male models to hand-deliver her new Truth or Dare fragrance to beauty editors in NYC. Sadly, our notably male-deprived office was not included in this gesture – leading me to believe that Madonna is in on some Mean Girls-esque, four-for-you,-Glenn-Coco-and-none-for-Gretchen-Weiners reverse-psychology scheme to subconsciously make us want her perfume even more. Damn you, Madonna, and your sneaky mind games! {Telegraph}

RIP Master Embroiderer Francois Lesage: The Frenchman who led the embroidery atelier that served Chanel, Oscar de la Renta, and Bill Blass, has died at age 82. Lesage was known for being a true couture artisans, attaching every single bead by hand – a tradition that is now only utilized by a handful of designers. {NY Times}

An Account of Tel Aviv’s Very First Fashion Week: Lucky Mag contributer Ray Siegel reflects on Tel Aviv’s first-ever fashion week, hosted by Roberto Cavalli. Apparently each favorite look was immediately followed by avid applause – guess that’s faster than waiting to read the reviews! {Lucky}

Watch: Madonna and Daughter Lola Make Fun of Themselves and Each Other as They Search for the Next Face of Material Girl

By Cheryl Wischhover Friday, Oct 28, 2011 / 4:00 PM

Madonna is nothing if not self-aware–after all, she manipulated her own image successfully for several decades. In this new promotional video for her Macy’s Material Girl line, she pokes a lot of fun at herself–her image, her diva reputation, her age, her uncool mom-speak (“Whatevs” is “Timeless”)–while daughter Lola plays the annoyed teenager role perfectly. (We suspect she may not have had to act very hard.)
