Madonna Fancy Dress Costumes

MADONNA FANCY DRESS COSTUMES UK

For this page, we have hand-picked the best costumes from leading UK suppliers that can be used to create a Madonna 1980s look.
One of the most popular looks is from her Desperately Seeking Susan film with the bolero jacket, but you may prefer her Like A Virgin "Boy Toy" bridal look or the Blonde Ambition Tour outfit with the iconic conical bra - just be careful you don't poke someone's eye out wearing that one!

The most popular Madonna outfit choice, by far, is based on her look in the 80s movie Desperately Seeking Susan, in which Madonna playes the bohemian drifter Susan Thomas.

This costume by Fun Shack comes in six sizes from Small up to 3XL, and includes ajacket with leopard print collar, matching black top with trim, black tutu skirt, black lace gloves, chain-style crucifix necklace and a black hair pin.

One of Madonna's most iconic and controversial looks was her Like A Virgin, white bridal outfit with a "Boy Toy" belt.

This outfit by Fun Costumes recreates the look and includes a "Pop Star" belt, dress with zipper and a heart-patterned tulle overlay around the waist, fingerless white lace gloves and a white hair bow.

Recreate the Madonna Virgin Bride Style

Madonna Like A Virgin 80s
The essential components needed are long, fingerless white lace gloves, white bustier, "Boy Toy" belt and a white skirt. As you can see in the second photo, she also wore a large crucifix necklace and white and silver beads around her neck.

During her "Like A Virgin" period, Madonna actually wore a number of outfits, but we'll stick with this iconic bridal look for now to avoid confusion. You can either purchase a ready-made costume, or buy the items separately. Finding identical ones has been near impossible, but for fun fancy dress the following accessories will create a pretty decent costume.

Recreate Madonna's Early Styles

Here we will create the style from Madonna's early career as an 80s pop star when she was releasing singles such as Borderline and Lucky Star. The main components are a sleeveless fishnet/mesh top covering a black bra (or vest top) with a stack of bracelets on the arms and a crucifix/ star earring.

There are no strict rules, though, as the pop icon wore countless outfits with many variations on the one shown here in the photo. Madge was also influenced by punk fashion, and here are some suggestions for the main items needed.

Black or purple are perfect colour choices. Mesh or lace top worn over a black bra should create the main part of your costume. If you're not comfortable wearing a bra as outerwear then you could try a sports bracropped top or a vest/camisole top.

Add religious jewellery such as crucifix earrings and necklaces, and a stack of black and white or silver bangles and/or bracelets on each arm.

Madonna made lace very popular and you can add lace fingerless gloves and lace tights to enhance your look. Punk style mesh fingerless gloves are also ideal.

Since Madonna first hit the music scene in 1983 with her self-titled debut album, she has gone on to sell over 200 million albums.

There is little doubt that Madonna had a heavy influence on the 80s fashion scene. In fact, she created new trends. Early on she wore messy hair with blonde highlights and lace ribbons, bows and headbands. Her arms were adorned with jelly bracelets, stacked bangles and fishnet gloves. She also wore a short skirt over her leggings and religious jewellery in her ears.

Later, Madge introduced us to the Bolero jacket (shrug), bustiers, lace gloves, the "boy toy" belt and a large crucifix necklace. Much to the horror of their parents, teenage girls wanted to copy her look and their bras became outerwear!

Many of today's artists have been heavily influenced by Madonna's iconic costumes, many of which she wore in the 80s and 90s. That infamous gold "Vogue" outfit with the pointed cones and the "Like A Virgin" wedding dress are just two outfits that spring to mind, but, of course, Madge was creating a new look on a regular basis.
