Madonna is 60 and I haven’t got a costume

How did that happen? The 80’s were my era too, although I’m 10 years younger. We are going to her birthday party in Vauxhall Tavern so, not her actual party then Grin

Anyways it’s fancy dress. Dress as a Madonna. I’m still post surgery I didn’t think I’d be going but now I’m thinking I should make an effort. Obviously, they are going to be some fabulous drag queens there and everyone will look brilliant. What can I do? I have limited time and I’m huge on top and I have swelly belly. I don’t want to spend loads of money has anyone got any ideas?

Or Evita Madonna.You are lucky she has so many looks to choose from.

And im a huge Madonna fan

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/08/2018 15:29

Agree with @dustarr73. Madge reinvents herself every couple of years so there's bound to be at least one look that suits you OP!

EachandEveryone · 03/08/2018 16:22

Has to be low budget!! That’s the trouble since I put weight on it lessens my options.

Cone bra, cone bra, cone bra.

I know she's had loads of looks but that's the iconic one.

Google how to make one. Then wear it over anything.

Mumshotel · 03/08/2018 17:45

I'm going. Spanish dress. Rose in hair. La Isla Bonita

EachandEveryone · 03/08/2018 17:47

Won’t everyone have a cone bra though?

Hotel, I will wave.

Maybe but I would have though more people would go for the Like a Virgin / Desperately Seeking Susan Look. I could be wrong obviously.
The thing about the cone bra, is it's funny. And the less Madonna-shaped you are, the better.

dustarr73 · 03/08/2018 18:41

You could always wear your weddding dress( if you have one) and writhe around the floor.Job done.

Or go as her Sex book.

MyNameIsAlexDrake · 03/08/2018 20:52

Or you can go as The Madonna aka mother of Jesus. At least the outfit would cover all bits you're worried aboutSmile

EachandEveryone · 04/08/2018 23:10

I think it means Madonna though

Like a Prayer Madonna? Brown dress.
Ray of light madonna? Blue jeans, sparkly belt and white vest, it's going to be hot in there.

Jbck · 04/08/2018 23:22

French and Saunders did Vogue period as well as others I think, they’re not Madonna shaped/sized 😃

Graphista · 04/08/2018 23:36

With that hair Madonna don't tell me - plaid shirt, jeans, western buckle belt (charity shops good for this), cowboy boots, cowboy hat (pound shops often have these for hen do's). Easy.

Frozen - long black dress, long black wig.

EachandEveryone · 08/08/2018 09:35

Do you thinkmitvwill be really hot for jeans?

I’m can’t now that I’ve heard my cousin has ordered a load of black net and booked a hotel room to gesee ready for the day.

I literally have £30 to spend on this. Maybe I should do 80’s Madonna as it was my era. Anyone seen any good looks without having to walk in heels or get my scarred belly out? I’d be greatful for any links.

I'd totally go as a Renaissance Madonna just because it would amuse me.

ichifanny · 09/08/2018 14:08

A white mens shirt with a corset or basque over the top Madonna with corkscrew curls

NothingOnTellyAgain · 09/08/2018 14:08

Probably the easiest look to do is 80's Madonna, Rara skirt, 3/4 leggings, bangles, messy hair.

That's what I'd do too - plastic bangles etc from claires, backcomb hair and bob's your uncle!

3luckystars · 09/08/2018 14:13

Just wear a Madonna t shirt and a wig.

JaneJeffer · 09/08/2018 14:14

Black trousers and top, short jacket, ankle boots, a few long chains and bow in your hair. You're worrying far too much. Everyone is going to look ridiculous.
