Irina Shayk pays homage to Madonna at Milan Fashion Week

Irina Shayk channeled Madonna with a cone bra and blond curls while walking the runway for Dolce & Gabbana in Milan, Italy.

On Saturday, the Russian model, 38, strutted down the catwalk during Milan Fashion Week in a cone bra bustier paired with a sleek black blazer, trousers and gold cross earrings.

Her brunette locks were concealed underneath a short blond wig, which was similar to the “Material Girl” songstress’ hair during her Blond Ambition era in the 1990s.

The brand’s founders, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, used Madonna, 66, as their muse for their spring/summer 2025 collection.

Other models walked the runway wearing religious patterns, curly wigs and pointy bras, per People.

The “Like a Virgin” singer watched the show from the front row, wearing a long black veil that reached to her knees, a black maxi dress, fishnet stockings and black pointed heels.

She topped off her show-stopping look with a gold crown and a diamond necklace from Alta Gioielleria.

Madonna was the first to turn Jean Paul Gaultier’s conical bustier into a fashion statement in the ’90s when she stepped out in the piece during her Blond Ambition tour.

The Grammy winner’s iconic fashion sense has stuck around for decades with celebrities, including Kylie Jenner, Bella Hadid and Kourtney Kardashian, bringing back the iconic cone bra in 2021.

That same year, Doja Cat hopped onto the trend when she wore a Jean Paul Gaultier conical design for her “Planet Her” album art.

Cardi B also paid homage to Madonna by wearing a similar coned bra in her “Up” music video.

Madonna’s fashion sense has also influenced her daughter Lourdes Leon, who emulated her mom’s style in a red dress with a cone bust at the 2023 Grammys.
