Milan, February 28, 2026. Long close to the Designers and deeply aligned with the essence of the brand, Madonna attended the Dolce&Gabbana Women’s Fall/Winter 2026 Fashion Show as a special guest in the front row. On this occasion as well, she reaffirmed herself as a muse beyond definition and an undisputed style icon.

 

For the show, she wore a single-breasted jacket layered over a satin slip dress trimmed with lace, completed by a lace-up corset.
Pumps, the Marlene Bag and oversized sunglasses complemented the total black look, while turquoise gloves introduced a striking note of contrast.

 

At the end of the show, as applause continued to fill the room, the Designers approached Madonna with a heartfelt embrace, a gesture born not only of artistic collaboration, but of a longstanding bond that spans fashion and music.

In the evening, within the Saloni of Dolce&Gabbana Alta Moda at Corso Venezia 13, the artist offered a previously unreleased rendition of Patty Pravo’s ‘La Bambola’, immersed in a refined setting.
The song performed echoes the soundtrack of the new Campaign celebrating the 20th anniversary of the fragrance The One, in which the artist stars alongside actor Alberto Guerra.

 

Fulfilling the wish of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, Madonna performed the song exceptionally in Italian, celebrating a shared devotion to heritage, passion and artistic expression.

 

Specially conceived for the evening by producer Stuart Price, who accompanied the artist on the piano, the new arrangement — enriched by a string quartet — made the performance even more intimate.

 

For the occasion, Madonna wore an all white look featuring mesh culottes with lace up details, a matching bra, and a structured white cotton corset defining the silhouette. The ensemble was completed with white patent leather pumps and a long tulle veil trimmed with white lace scalloping. A white gold cross pendant with diamonds from the Dolce&Gabbana Fine Jewelry Collection illuminated the look.

 

The performance sealed the ongoing creative dialogue between Madonna and Dolce&Gabbana, reaffirming a shared vision rooted in artistry, individuality and timeless Italian craftsmanship.
