Paris - With the help of some of the best of French haute couture, Madonna is to kick off her new Sticky and Sweet world tour next week in a slinky dominatrix-style frock coat in black stretch satin designed by Givenchy.
A spokesperson from the French fashion house said Riccardo Tisci, its designer, had provided not only the frock coat in which the queen of pop will open the tour starting in Cardiff on August 23, but also a second outfit.
The outfit for the opening number, worn with a waistcoat and trimmed with jet beads, is influenced by "Gangster Pimp" and "Art Deco", according to the house.
The second outfit breaks with Madonna's long-running taste for the dominatrix style with a gypsy-style black cape lined in fuchsia and a black stretch chiffon dress trimmed with coloured ribbons and coloured metal chains.
Madonna earlier this year threw on another Givenchy number - a black dress with lots of metal chain - for her video of Give It 2 Me.
Other designers getting a piece of the action for this tour include Tom Ford with suits for the band, Miu Miu and Stella McCartney with footwear, Moschino with sunglasses while there are also other contributions from Yves Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli and Jeremy Scott, according to Women's Wear Daily.
