“MADONNA PROVED SHE’S STILL THE QUEEN.” 👑✨🔥 — THE 67-YEAR-OLD ICON OPENED THE WORLD CUP HALFTIME SHOW IN UNFORGETTABLE FASHION Madonna kicked off the first-ever FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show with a dazzling performance of her classic hit Music, instantly turning MetLife Stadium into a giant dance floor. Dressed in her signature lingerie-inspired look with towering boots and commanding stage presence, the pop legend captivated the crowd from the moment she appeared, setting the tone for one of the most spectacular halftime shows ever staged. With flawless confidence, infectious energy, and timeless star power, Madonna reminded millions around the world exactly why she remains one of music’s greatest performers.

Madonna transformed MetLife stadium into a ‘80s-era Danceteria-coded club as she co-headlined the first-ever FIFA World Cup final halftime show with Justin Bieber, BTS, and Shakira on July 19. As final teams Spain and Argentina battled for the win, the “Vogue” singer broke up the match, singing and dancing as she performed one of her biggest 2000s-era hits while wearing pink lingerie.

In contrast to the sporting attire around her in the stands and on the field, Madonna embraced her signature lingerie-as-outerwear uniform. The 67-year-old wowed in a plunging silver bra, which she paired with a sheer pink lace waist-cincher and a pair of pink silk bloomer shorts. True to form, Madonna upped the sartorial ante with her accessories, adding a pair of thigh-high lace-trimmed tights. She finished off her look with a pair of towering purple lace-up leather boots, a purple bomber jacket, and fingerless gloves.

Unlike the sculpted wispy bangs and high-volume rockstar mullet that she recently sported for her Interview magazine cover shoot, the “Hung Up” singer styled her icy platinum blonde hair in her signature middle-parted blowout with soft curls framing a full beat. Madonna accentuated her features with her signature full-octane glamour.

The “Material Girl” star recently released her new album Confessions II on July 3, but she threw it back to a nostalgic hit for Sunday’s show. Madonna’s latest EP includes collaborations like “Bring Your Love” with Sabrina Carpenter and “The Test” featuring her eldest daughter Lourdes Leon, but she kicked off the performance with her 2000 track “Music.”

Madonna has been back on the concert circuit in recent months, including surprising fans by appearing alongside Carpenter as she headlined Coachella. The “Like a Virgin” singer also pulled off a secret performance at Times Square on June 4, bringing the energy to the iconic New York City tourist destination while wearing a light blue silk bra, a baby pink waist cincher corset, and light pink silk bloomers. A pair of blue aviator sunglasses, sheer pink mesh opera gloves, pink fishnets, and towering silver metallic boots finished off her look.
