Madonna x Madame X: Channeling the Medellin Look

We couldn't but swoon when we saw the imagery for Madonna's new Medellin video. Wearing sheer blouses, to reveal a hint of black satin bra, and high slit pencil skirts Madonna holds everyone entranced. Her bold red lips and dark, finger waved, bob hark back to Latin America of the 1930s. Take a peek at our new Lookbook inspired by 'Medellin' with just a twist of What Katie Did (London) vintage glamour.

In the video Madonna wears several beautiful outfits including a sheer blouse, polka dots, slit pencil skirt and long leather gloves. Just by chance we recently did a shoot with Marianne Cheesecake (London) which includes many of these elements.

Marianne's lingerie, corset and nylons are by What Katie Did, but the skirt and blouse are by Maitresse Clothing ( London).  The sheer black polka dot lace blouse features full 1930s style sleeves and pussy bow. We've teamed it with our Padded Bullet Bra which looks amazing under sheer tops and has been worn by Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham and Rihanna amongst many, many others.

Maitresse Clothing's range also includes a sheer white blouse with black tie very similar to one that Madonna also wears in the video.

The pencil skirt features a thigh high slit over the thigh, just like Madonna's, and is lined in striking dark red satin. We're sure Madame X would approve. We've added our Luna Waspie Corset which is ideal for creating the  'lingerie as outerwear' look Madonna is so fond of. Don't you think it sets off the pencil skirt a treat?

The finishing touch is a pair of our Glamour Seamed Stockings in sheer black.
