OVER THE MET GALA

Fuerte Men Entertainment

The annual Costume Institute Benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art brought the biggest A-List celebrities:  Beyoncé, Sara Jessica Parker, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Lawrence, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, and so on. But it was the Queen of Pop, Madonna, who arrived fashionably late to fashion's biggest night and stole the show in custom Givenchy.  Madonna showed up in punk chic, the theme of the celebration was appropriately Punk: Chaos to Couture.  

Madonna had all the workings of true punk royalty.   Queen Madonna wore a Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci designed tartan jacket.  She also wore a ripped full body fishnet stocking, lots of chains, a dog collar with ‘M’ on the lock completed with crucifix and a studded leather belt.  The star completed her look with a sharp black bob and red lipstick.

What do you think of her look?
