Madonna is giving fans a blast from the past with a fashion statement that brings back memories of her breakthrough years.
The pop icon recently modeled a red hoodie celebrating her hit song “Like a Virgin,” but it was her revealing styling that made the look particularly eye-catching.
The 68-year-old singer shared a series of photographs on Instagram on November 10, posing in the red hoodie, which she wore completely unzipped over a black lace bra.
She completed the daring ensemble with high-waisted fishnet stockings and black gloves.
Madonna wore her long blonde hair in a sleek center part, adding dramatic smoky eye makeup and a nude lip to finish the look.
In another photograph, the singer modeled a black graphic T-shirt featuring the words “L.E.S. Girl.” She paired the top with black underwear, fishnet stockings and towering black heels, accessorizing with dark sunglasses and gloves.
“One Step Away from my New Merch Drop! Available Now,” Madonna wrote in her Instagram post.

The photographs promote the singer’s latest merchandise collection, which features graphic apparel, accessories and pieces celebrating different aspects of her career. Fans can find the releases through Madonna’s official online store.
The red hoodie references Madonna’s 1984 hit “Like a Virgin,” one of the songs that helped transform her into a global pop sensation.
Released as the lead single from her second studio album, the track became her first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent six weeks at the top of the chart.
The song also became synonymous with one of the singer’s most memorable early performances. At the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards, Madonna performed it in a bridal-inspired outfit, creating a moment that remains closely associated with her career.
The singer has continued to challenge conventional fashion throughout her career. One of her most recognizable looks arrived during her 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour, when she wore the now-famous cone bra designed by Jean Paul Gaultier.
The corset-style design became an enduring pop culture reference and helped establish Madonna’s influence on the relationship between music and fashion.
She has continued embracing lingerie-inspired styling in recent years. On October 27, Madonna posed in a plunging black corset, fishnet tights and a long leather coat for a campaign connected to her collaboration with fragrance brand Boy Smells.
