Madonna is one celeb’ who’s not scared to make a style statement – or five – and as such her WOW W.E New York premiere dress came as no surprise. Throw in a new ‘do and you just know Madonna’s on a mission…(for a fashion Oscar?)

The sheer Marchesa puff sleeve LBD (Long Black Dress) was the talk of the red carpet at the Ziegfeld Theater (American for theatre) last night - but is it a fashion ‘do or for the love of Kabbalah please don’t?

And what about the HAIR!?



The flamboyant frock features serious amounts of tulle and certainly guaranteed Her Madge a whole lotta attention, perhaps she’s trying to distract fans from the film’s less than buoyant reviews…

Madonna will hear whether her directorial debut W.E is nominated for an Oscar later on today (Tuesday 24th).

Once you’ve got past the sleeves (slash tangled low denier tights) the floor-sweeping gown features intricate black lace detailing that nods to the fash’ packs love affair with lace this season (see Kate Middleton in Temperley and Angelina in Michael Kors for more).




Madonna upped the goth’ ante with black beaded jewellery and stunning barely-there make up.

While M may look like she’s lopped of her locks, it’s more than likely that she’s is merely trying out January’s cheekiest hair trend, the faux bob or FOB (NB we’re acronymphomaniacs) as seen on Taylor Swift too.

FOBs are perfect for those looking to update their ‘do (slash up their column inches) without the commitment and cost of having a hair cut. Nice.

Added to that, her latest hairdo is oh-so Wallis Simpson (fitting for her said film W.E).

Madonna teared up at the premiere, when she dedicated the film to her mother. She said: “If I cry... don't hold it against me. Everyone knows when I'm tired, I cry... So forgive me. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a sentimental person.”




The 53-year-old continued, “Well, the Oscars, the nominations are coming out tomorrow, and fingers crossed, I hope my movie gets nominated for something. I would be really grateful if it did, but if it doesn't, I got the Super Bowl”.


Madonna was joined by W.E co-stars Oscar Isaac, Andrea Riseborough, James D'Arcy and David Harbour. She bought along daughter Lourdes too while Ewan McGregor put a red carpet appearance in too (sidenote: when did he get so HOT!?)

Speaking of hot, what do you make of Madonna’s latest look - is it hot, or not? Vote below:
